Re-entering the work force...
and scared as hell.
I got the job. I understand that statement should be followed by a couple of exclamation points but, as I am happy I got the job, I am apprehensive for so many reasons. Here are a few:
I got the job. I understand that statement should be followed by a couple of exclamation points but, as I am happy I got the job, I am apprehensive for so many reasons. Here are a few:
- I haven't worked in an office setting since I went out on early maternity leave before Cecilia in September 2000.
- I have to leave my babies for the whole day for maybe a month or more.
- I will no longer have control over how much money I make (ie working my ass off when I know someone's birthday is coming up or when we need something important).
- My training is full-time during the day, 8-4:30, requiring me to actually get up, shower, and get dressed on a fairly strict schedule.
- I have to leave my babies for the whole day during this training period which may take as long as a month plus.
- Did I mention I have to leave my babies?
However, not to sound so much the crazy mom, here are the good things:
- My actual working hours after training are going to be 4pm - 8pm.
- I get to wear scrubs to work (so much like the PJs I often work in now).
- I am still going to transcribe some so I will have a little financial control.
- I will actually get a set paycheck on a set schedule making it so much easier to budget.
- I dream that in taking this job, with it's fabulously set working hours, I will manage to actually get things done - like cleaning my house.
I hoped to accomplish making myself feel better by making these lists but now I am just a mass of terrified perspective.

I might/might not have a job as of next week working either as an assistant teacher or as a head teacher for an after school program. I have been so excited and nervous this past week that tonight I am so burnt out that I don't care if I ever work a "real" job in my life. I understand your anxieties about a new job. Work is so overrated.
