Employment Is Fun!

So I got the new job and started on Friday.  I like the people…like the location…and the work doesn’t seem terribly frustrating, so I think this is a good thing.  It will be nice to not have to worry about money anymore, and it will be really nice to have my weekends free again.  And paid holidays…and vacation…and sick leave…and insurance…and a retirement account…oh yeah.

Seriously, though — I do miss being the owner of the neighborhood coffeehouse, but hey — you can’t have everything, right?  And it’s nice to get dressed up for work.  No “casual Fridays” either.  So there will be a large amount of shopping at some point — I haven’t had to dress up for work in…oh at least 10 years or so.  Yikes.

    I owned a small business once and, though the whole experice was a real thrill, don’t miss it at all. There’s a lot to be said for weekends and benefits. Good luck!

    How would you like to be dressed for work?

    Do you like a rigorous style?

    or do you prefer a comfortable one but nonetheless with a stylish fit?

    P.S. you know, I like to talk about fashion. My feelings toward the fashion world are somewhat controversials. Sometimes I love it, sometimes I don’t.

    I hope my previous post will be not considered as spam.
    In case it will be considered as such, please forgive me.

    Yes, what can I expect from myself? Jeez…there were too many urls!

    It went in the spam folder, but I fished it out again. Oooo…I like the first look at the third look. I don’t do dresses…ever. Or skirts.
