All goodish things must come to an end – I’m starting a new full time job on Monday.
I’m actually really excited about the company, it’s a marketing firm, I’ll get to do a lot more than just plain ol’ admin work, but I’m full of that dread and anxiety that comes with any new commitment. Especially when you consider that I’m going to be doubling my work day, which is what it is. I’ve lived the luxurious life of a consultant and part-timer for almost three years and I’m not sure that my mental and physical health are really that much better for it. Slightly improved? Yes. But totally transformed? No.
I think the most valuable thing that I can take from the good life is that my time is valuable and that I’ll have an easier time saying “no” when I need to. I’m much better at setting limits. If I can remain in this consultant’s mindset – be a little more mercenary – it should be more interesting and worthwhile.
I will miss the time to myself, though.
Into the wolf’s mouth, baby!
Hey, I’m starting a new job on Monday, too! Good luck with yours!
Why won’t someone pay us just to stay at home being awesome?
You are so amazing to me! I love your hair and more importantly what is beneath it. The marketing world should be frightened. If I were a candidate looking to be marketed by anyone I would want you! I think that as being the toughest marketing so anything else will be a skate for you. Women….roar!
