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.

An Update

Published by Carol on September 30, 2008 in General Madness. 2 Comments

So many things have changed in such a short period of time!  I closed the business on Sunday…was dumped Saturday…and am going to meet my potential new co-workers on Wednesday.  Yikes.  If I manage to cling to whatever shred of sanity I have left, hopefully I will be gainfully employed next Monday.

I’m excited about the new job — and it will get me out of the neighborhood every day…which is a good thing.  And I’ll finally have my evenings and weekends free again…wow.

So other than the broken heart issue…I’m doing well.  And perhaps that issue will resolve itself, too…who knows.
