It's off to work I go..... :) How happy am I then? I had been out of work for 6 months - I was getting to the proverbial 'bottom of the barrel' but lo and behold I am a great truster in life and I was offered a job on the day my Job Seeker's ran out :)
I've been working now for 3 weeks and I have to say I am getting used to it again but how wonderful it is to work for a company that actually values their employees and gives fair time off for extra hours worked and one of the best things is that I can happily leave my work when I go home each eveing without another thought. I don't have to worry anymore if I will still have a job next week or not, and the place is air conditioned in warm weather and lovely and warm in cold weather!! Dear Reader, if you only knew how I suffered at my last place of work where the toilet water froze over in Winter and I was warned about using the heating as it was expensive and so we froze in there.
How was it that I suffered under that Dickensian regieme for such a long time, being bullied by management and betrayed by a close colleague. I was always so worried about losing that job....I wonder why? It was the best thing that could have happened - I sleep at night now, I work far less hours, I don't have any undue work related stress anymore. I finally realise that this is what work should be like - and with colleagues who you can have a laugh with.
So I feel I have to say a big thank you to life for giving me the nudge which I wouldn't have done myself as the very idea frightened me silly! It's funny how things work out, but now I wish it had happened years ago as I've wasted so many years of my life in such a dead end job.
Actually when I think of it this is a sort of a theme in my life that so many years I wasted in a variety of different situations until a total change occuring.
Better late than never I have to say and thank you again to the powers that be :)
