Just when everything is going great I go and GET A JOB!
Before you freak out, it was only temporary. "The Office" I used to work in called and asked if I would fill in for the receptionist while she was out on maternity leave. I jumped at the chance to go back. I love those folks and being there again felt comfortable, like my favorite t-shirt & jeans. Being in "The Office" again, around the familiar hustle & bustle of the working world, made me crave that life again.
I spent a few nights seriously contemplating if I should start looking for a job and I realized a few things. I realized that the only time I miss working, is while I'm working. I don't want just ANY job. I want THE job. One that is worth it to my whole family to put Lil' Bit & Big Red into the care of others. A job that would be fulfilling enough that I would enjoy waking up each morning and going in. Coworkers that are the kind of folks I want to spend 40+ hours of my life with each & every week. I don't think there are many jobs out there that meet my
"The Office" does.
I spent a few more nights debating, thinking and bouncing scenarios off of Handsome before I decided I would formally express my interest in employment with "The Office." I'm going to dust off the resume, take a couple of classes to fulfill the educational requirements and make sure my ducks are in a row, just in case. I don't know when a position may open up, but I know that I want to at least be considered when it does.
In the mean time, I'm enjoying each day with my boys and perfecting my photography skills.
I just got offered a job today. I was so excited! It's basically a meaningless job with low pay but after so many rejections, it was so nice to finally have someone interested in my skills and qualifications. It's just a part time job though since I'm still in school. It's right on campus so I won't have far to go. :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck, I hope things work out at "The Office."
