Tomorrow I start my new job. Now, I have two jobs. EEP. Growing up is tough to do. I'm a bit nervous, since I haven't had to start at a job in... almost four years. It's intimidating to walk in on the first day to fill out all the paper work and try to get things moving, while learning a new system, etc.
It's a night job, but I have to train during the day, since, when I'm released to work on the night stuff, I'll be doing it alone. YIKES. So, I'm ready for training.. as much as I can be. Dad took me shopping, today, as a treat. He bought me two GORGEOUS skirts for work. I'm so excited. I plan to buy even more work-wear this weekend since I haven't had to shop for new work clothes in four years... but this is fine for now. I bought a super cute skirt this past weekend in my hometown... So, I have three skirts, and there are three days left in this workweek. :)
And, I think I'm getting paid to train, which is GLORIOUS. That means, the money starts coming in immediately. It's going to be strange to have a real job. I mean, I've had summer jobs... and I do have a job... but the hours for that are unusual. I'm going to have a job with set hours. Mon-Friday 2:30pm-11:30pm. It's perfect for me, really. If Matt and I get the place I'm looking into, we'll be fifteen minutes from work. I get home around midnight, and get to sleep until 10. I can then get up and spend time with Matthew, get housework done, run errands, etc. The rest of the world will be at work. It's perfect. I'm so jazzed about this job. 30,000$ a year to start. And, the boss already told me he'd be fine only getting two years out of me in this job. That's a blessing. No pressure to stay with the company for the rest of my life. *phew*
I plan to be in bed by midnight so I can get a full night of sleep. I have a few things set to bring in with me so I can keep track of my life.. and I can't wait to see what happens with my station. I'm sharing it with the day girl, once I'm done training. So, I don't know how much personal paraphenalia we'll be putting up... Have to ask the boss about that one. He's a great boss. Really understanding, and doesn't talk to me like I'm a child. He's giving me a real opportunity to grow, here.
They're taking a risk hiring me because of how young I am, and how little experience I have, but they see potential in me. I'm blessed that they see that, and that the Lord is affording me this job when I really need it. Now, just waiting on Matt to get a job. He's been applying all over the place, but being a liberal arts major, his fields are a little more limited than mine, for the time being. I'm confident God has a place for him, though. And, we'll make it work. I have a little money in savings, and soon I'll have a biweekly paycheck. I haven't had that in two years. I have a monthly paycheck... it'll be nice to feel a little more secure about money issues.
I'm rambling, but I'm joyous and frightened all at once. I hope I can handle this. I hope I can make it through all this mess to come out triumphant. I'm trying to remember my basic HTML (Yes, it's part of this job) and news writing (again, part of the job). It's been a while since I've exercised either muscle. Please pray for me, guys. It's a brave, new world for me!
