Key steps toward coming to peace with my cube

It's been almost 2 months since my first day at my new job.  Like any change, it's easy to focus on the steps you still have to learn, climb, and practice to feel settled rather than remembering where you've been and how far you've come.

So as an exercise in perspective and remembering, here are a few key milestones from the past 2 months beginning Day 1 of work -- Sept 30th.  Days are counted by working days, not calendar days.

Day 1: Got a temporary badge to enter the building by myself
Day 2: Officially covered by my own health insurance plan
Day 5: Found the liquid Coffeemate creamer and finally upgraded from the nasty powdered creamer I'd settled for all week
Day 7: Moved into my cubicle and decorated it with some artsy postcards so it felt a little more spirited
Day 11: Made my first health coaching call with a real participant
Day 15: First day on my real (non-training) schedule
Day 21: Personal best time on reading someone from West Virginia a health survey -- 18 minutes 20 seconds
Day 27: First day back on the job after passing the ACSM Physical Activity in Public Health Specialist certification exam, which was required within the first 3 months to keep my job.
Day 27: First Spanish call/coaching session
Day 30: First day working overtime for 1.5x pay  (some days I'm glad I'm not on salary anymore...)
Day 33: First 5/5 quality score on a randomly pulled call
Tomorrow: First paid holiday at this job
