This Could Work Out For Me

Hello Everyone: Part of today was sucked up by onboarding paperwork for this new job. I hate that. The only thing that made it more tolerable was the fact it was all online so I wasn't forced to sit through some long boring orientation session. I still feel a little overwhelmed by the speed this is happened but I just go with it. Truth is it's not so bad and once I start working, it might actually be a learning experience. I still want to keep an eye out for more permenant work but for now, this'll do. If anything, it'll be good for me because I can improve my life a little bit. I'm actually glad I'm starting work now as opposed to a year ago when I had to deal with mum and everything that went along with it. I would've never been able to focus on the work. At least the BIL and Sis won't be annoying me with questions about the job search. Another upside is once I get settled in, I slowly start to pivot toward my real goal, a teaching job. Oh yes, that's still something I want to pursue. I don't have any illusions that contact tracing will lead to a permenant position but I am keeping myself open to any opportunities that arise from it. I had a thought in the shower today--one of the places I do my thinking--that I have some control over the situation. I have some control over my schedule, as long as I let someone know if I have to make any changes. Also, I don't have any illusions that I'll get in touch with everyone. That's just the way these call center-type jobs are. You're lucky if you connect to the more than half of the people and they don't hang up on you or curse you out. There'll be some down time and fortunately I have what to do around the house. The best part, no selling or weekends. Yay.
