:: life :: Light at the end?
So, been at the new job now for nearly a month. Enjoying it. The atmosphere is much more relaxed (or is it just a lack of a sense of impending doom?), and the project has allowed me time to explore creatively. Body is getting used to the new schedule, but weekends are a definite precious commodity now. It's the drive that is the biggest pitfall at the moment. Living in Bristol and working in Coventry isn't the most practical of situations, racking up 200 miles a day. Managing 45mpg out of the Liana, but it still costs a packet.
Ah, money, the great burden on my back. If I didn't have the joy of several periods of not being paid during my time at Infusion, everything would be OK. As it stands money is going to be tight for me for a while to come. I love my parents to bits for helping me through the periods of unemployment, but I do need to pay them back. And the situation just frustrates me so much that I can't give Sarah the life I want for her.
We have a couple of plans to deal with the commute. It may mean being away for part of the week, which doesn't appeal. Would make the weekends even more special, and it wouldn't be a permanent situation.
But, I am in a new job. I just need to tough it out, get back on my feet financially, then the two of us can see about making some of those things we talk about happen.
