Well I'm staring my new job today (just going in for a few hours this afternoon) at the small design firm in a town that rhymes with Meeland.
It should be interesting - working for such a small firm after working for so many MEGACORPS.
We are working out the fact that it doesn't have group insurance and I will have to continue to be mega frugal as I think I'm getting paid that same or a bit less than unemployment.
On the bright side, it's a job in one of the most depressed states in the union. I will have somewhere to go and stuff to do every day. I will learn new, exciting and creative things. And some not creative but useful things like Quickbooks.
And I really like my boss.
And I don't have to drive all the way to GR.
And it's close enough to Holland that I can drop in on my in-laws in their palatial retirement community.
And I have a job.
And J and I won't be attached at the hip any longer.
Most of the time I'll be alone in the office - which means loud ABBA music played on my ipod. And dancing as I work.
It's in a cool redone clock factory. Very NY Lofty.
Casual clothing!!!!
I get to organize the entire office.
Then why do I feel so weird about all this?
