Night before jitters
I start my new job tomorrow. It will be infinitely better than my last job, for the following reasons, in no particular order:
- I will not drive 80 miles a day. I will drive about 10.
- I will not spend 2 hours a day in a car. I will spend about 20 minutes in my car.
- I will not spend $2,000 a year on gas for my car. I will spend about $500, if that.
- I will not work on weekends.
- I will not work until midnight five nights a week, or ever.
- I will have lots of better opportunities to socialize with people, when normal people socialize. Like, in the evening.
- I will not have to fight to get a night off to do trapeze. I will always be able to do trapeze.
- Conrad will not have to stay up late and sacrifice sleep to spend time with me.
- My family will not worry about me coming in from work late at night or driving on a dangerous road.
Not to mention the following, which actually have to with my job, not my life outside job:
- I get paid more.
- I get vacation days.
- I don't have to meet a daily deadline.
- I don't have to work in a cubicle.
- I will get to write again.
- I will get to work in a magazine environment again.
- This fits into my larger career plan much better than my other job.
