Day Job
Jump to Comments
So I finally landed myself a day job..I take the bus just like everyone else and I’m chained to a desk from nine to five. Is this what being a grown up means?
Of course, right now I am thinking that this will not interfere with the SCUBA dreams and the food blogging dreams, but I am not so sure. I still have weekends. And it seems I have a nice boss. And it seems I might have more free time than I think..but I can’t be certain right now.
I wonder how long I can stay committed..a job always seems like a loveless marriage to me.

You are a brave lady. I have been “self-employed” for five years now. and as Thelma said to Louise, “Something’s crossed over in me. I can’t go back.”
That said, you’ve sounded really down recently and I reckon it will be a good thing for you, even if you only do it for a while.

I used to be self-employed too. (though for the most part, I was really just a dependent..) And for the longest time I felt that I couldn’t go back. But the Mister thinks I should work some more..since I am young and all that blah..so here.
I am hoping that this will work for at least a year. I’ve had two previous jobs..one where I lasted 4 months and another where I lasted 7 months. It’s a horrid resume..really.
Here’s to attempting to stay in one place for a year!

Ah, I’m sure you will make it. Fingers and toes crossed for you but I reckon about 90% of the battle is having a decent boss… which it sounds like you have. The Mister may well be right, it will be good to get out of the house and not focus on yourself too much… thinking is good but sometimes a person can do too much of it. You sounded like you were a bit down over Christmas and I am sure being focussed on something else - even if it’s only ways not to get electrocuted by the furniture at work - will be a good thing!
Cheers

Heehee..the electrocution fear really keeps me pretty much occupied everyday..and yeah, christmas got kind of bad with all the emotional blahs. But that’s done..and it does seem like my work is taking my mind off of a lot of things..so it’s good for now.
Thanks BC.
