the switch
i'm nearing the end of my job. excited for the most part. gearing up for my new part-time employment! people keep asking me why i want to only work part-time now [no kids yet, less money and such], but why wouldn't i? we'll get there eventually, hopefully sooner than later, so i'm not going to pass up a great opportunity to have the job i will want later now! would you?
unorganized management
9 hour days at work
stress and last minute projects
doing all the house work, after work
6x6 cubicle
abundant amounts of testosterone and cologne
the drive
well...i'm struggling to come up with anything, so that must say something
flexibility in my schedule
new boss and coworkers (much better management!)
time, extra time for everything that needs to get done - reading, crafting, exercising, socializing, serving, cleaning, gardening, etc...
the budget change (thankfully not too much different, but still some adjusting to be done)
the extra time. it will be a challenge to not get lost in my laziness. i want to be productive with my minutes and hours, but i know myself and i might struggle. i have ideas and thoughts swimming around in my head - but i need to make goals, a schedule. give myself the best opportunity to do more, better
now that i will be working less, i will have more time at home - which means we can have a dog! john loves dogs. i mean, LOVES dogs. ever since we needed to find the last one a new home, he has talked about getting another when we were ready and able. we are now ready, and i am fully able to train and take care of a puppy. i'm looking forward to this (i really am!) but i've never had a puppy before, so i am just praying that we do okay together in the training stages. [stay tuned for future posts...we are going to look at a litter on wednesday, and if you know us at all, we can't say no...so we'll probably be proud parents on thursday. :D ]

wow! What exciting new changes. It sounds like you've thought it through carefully, and I'm sure you'll do great at tackling the challenges successfully!
ReplyDeleteI know you can do this, Keri! Congratulations on new opportunities. Making a daily schedule or goals really helps not waste time. I struggled with that too so I wrote down what I had to get done each day and marked it off. Let me know if you want to do something on your day off.
