Growing Up
Well, I'm old now. LATE twenties. It's enough to freak me out. But I did some RAPID growing this week. Exhibit A?
Take a minute here, this is a biggie.
I got a new job. Well not really. Well kinda.
I am going to work full time for the company I freelance for. I made the deal Monday but wanted to have a chance to tell my family before I blabbed it all over the internet. I will be working in their office in the city. They are very cool and laid back. The job will come with less pressure than I have felt lately. I have a very sweet compensation package that I expertly negotiated my way into, with much help. I am, for lack of better terms, set up.
As for the cafe, I will keep working there, full time until the end of next week and then 2 days a week after that. They need me and I hate to give up such a sweet discount right before the holidays. I start the job on November 12, giving me time to work out my time at the cafe and then give myself a little break.
It's not, per se, what I want to do with my life. But I think it will enable me to do what I want with my life. Most of this year I have been struggling and too busy working to do anything else. Now I can make enough to life with just one job and have the time left to a) follow artistic pursuits and b) eventually find a job that is better suited to me.
But for now I am a very happy Rock Star. As predicted, you will hear fewer "today I'm happy because I realized I'm alive and that's better than being dead" posts, if any at all. Life is starting to turn around at the ripe old age of 28 and I am finally starting to get a damn handle on things. Amen lord, ya know?
~The Rock Star is all growed up and stuff.
