It has been eight years since I've been hired by anyone as a full-time employee. I don't make a lot of money but, once the dust settles, I think I'll do okay. As I headed to the subway one morning last week, I realized that I actually like going to my job. I work for a company that really seems to care about its employees and the stuff we sell is pretty cool. For the first time in many years, I feel like I have some stability. No, it's not my style to wait until I'm sure of any of this before blogging about it.
The week before last, I was pretty sick. There had been something going around at work, so I ended up barking right along with the rest of them. I had to take a couple of days off and felt SO bad about it! True, I just started this job, so I felt bad about that, but I also hate being sick. Being sick (especially being laid up) sure makes feeling good feel sooooo much better! Anyway, I still had to pay rent and I'd been lucky that my utilities were still on, so being at work seemed even more important.
But when you're sick, really, the only thing to think of and to put energy into is getting better. So, after a slew of different cough suppresants, throat lozenges and herbal teas, I felt well enough to go back to work. And everything was cool when I got there. And I'd come home from work, like many people do, to a mailbox full of junk, some food and maybe a few television programs before going to bed. And, right now, it feels good. It's enough.
Now that’s the best Valentine one can give oneself! Congrats and all the best Papi.
There’s nothing so strange and unusual as normalcy, is there?
Congratulations.
I am so glad you’re doing okay. At least as you said, it’s enough. Hugs baby!
Congratulations!!! I am so glad you not only got a good job, but one you appreciate. Its a rare things these days.
The worst thing about working with other people is catching their germs. Hang in there, baby!
Nothing wrong with a steady paycheck. Good luck.
Happy Valentine’s baby - and happy job landing. Sounds like things you’ve hoped for have become reality.
Stay well and happy.
