As my many readers know, it has been a strange and exciting summer for me. I began Teacher Training, was unemployed and unsure of my future path.
While I am still unsure of my future path I can say with happiness and joy that I am no longer an unemployed mooch! I was lucky to receive a job offer from what seems like a great company and to top it all off? It has benefits and all that good stuff a grownup wants in a job!
I feel lucky and nervous all at once. Nervous to be starting a new job with new people (oh dear, making new friends can be tough for the Juice, she has to reign in her crazy so they don't get scared right off) but at the same time I have the hope that it is the kind of job that I can do for 8 hours and then go off on my merry way to hang with my friends, do yoga and otherwise enjoy the good life with actual income coming in! It means I don't always have to go to the cheap night at the movies and that I can buy new pants when my old ones rip!
It's truly exciting.
A short post for this week but a happy one. When I found out on Friday that I had the job a HUGE weight lifted off my shoulders and I was able to truly relax without worrying about the other foot falling down upon me. Knowing that as of October 31st I will be making a steady wage again really puts the rest of my life in perspective and gives me the space to breathe a little bit. To know you WILL be able to afford rent, utilities and food for the rest of the year and beyond makes things a little bit better.
OK...now I feel as though I am gloating which is not my intent. I just wanted to share my good news with the world! Or, at least, the six people who read my blog.
Stay classy Rhode Island.
