On Monday I return to full-time work. The commute will be a minimum of an hour and a half each way. I am overwhelmed at the prospect. I don’t know how I’m going to do it, but I will. Last week I had an interview for a different Desktop Support job that would be much closer, and it’s also a permanent job with benefits and paid time off. I’m hoping that job comes through and saves me from having to do this one. I’m trying not to hope too much because I’ve had my hopes dashed too many times over the last few months, and the crash is too painful. So. I’m just planning on this contract job with a long commute. And I’m not excited.
I know I should be grateful that I got a job and in a way I am, I know I’ll be grateful when I get the paychecks for sure. It’s just . . . why does life have to present me with such challenges?!?! I know I’m not unique and everyone has challenges but fuck I’d like something a little easier frankly. Like, just working full-time by itself is a challenge, why do we have to add in this godawful commute??? I know, I know, I’m the one who took the job, but it’s the only job that was offered to me. And I really needed a job! Soooo….fuckkkkkkk…..
Today I plan on cleaning the living hell out of my apartment, so I can start the week with a clean apartment. Tomorrow I will do my laundry, and make something I can take for lunch all week, it’s vegetarian chickpea sandwich filling which I make into a wrap. I like wraps. Here’s the recipe in case you’re interested, it’s pretty good.
Well I hope to have a mid-week update for you that I got a different job . . . I may have a mid-week sob story, we’ll see. I hope not. Hope you’re all doing GREAT, please let me know how you are in the Comments! Peach out!
All the very best! I’m sure the first week will have you on your knees, but well done on the housework and the wraps – you’ll get there. (Elle)
Thank you Elle. I will trudge along 🙂
I feel you on the commute mine is only forty five minutes but when you want to be home damn it you want to be home. Good luck with the closer job.
Thank you so much Angela!! Don’t commutes suck?!?!
I hope you get the job you want, but regardless good luck on Monday! I’ll be starting a partial hospitalization program, and I’m not used to being out for several hours every day.
Thank you Barb, and good luck to you!!! Keep us posted on how you’re doing!! ❤ ❤
Will do! 😊
I’ll be praying my derrière off on Monday on your behalf, sweetness!!!!! 😇
♥️❤️❤️
Hope the commute hasn’t killed you already. Sounds like a drag. Don’t know what to say to make things better. Just hope that options open SOON, for a job closer to home or a home closer to work.
