Mx ‘I need a job’ here got their monkey’s paw curse, and now I work in a city four hours from my home. It’s 11.30pm and I got home an hour ago after leaving at 6. After arriving… on Monday. :D
But also! I have a job! And it’s at a university I’m very familiar with and where I’m very happy to be back!* More importantly, it’s a job! (For ten whole months. And that’s a lot longer than most of my jobs for the past four years.)
It even went quite well. My first day was horrendous, for reasons I shall not recount or they will be boring, but it all started looking up a lot on day two. One bad day per week is significantly better than most jobs I’ve ever done before, so I can handle that. But I’m very glad there’s some work from home, or I would die from that commute.
Will this affect my fic writing schedule, I ask myself? Maybe I should consider taking the train. (It’s a six hour train journey. With multiple changes of train. I probably will not.)
*There is no chance of doxxing myself here, as I have been to six universities in my life and graduated from four.** Please do not ask why, as the answer tends to involve crying and questioning my life choices. You there! Are you unable to move on from education? Scared of the real world? The solution is to get a job at one of your unis and just never leave at all! There, I helped.
**That’s not even including short courses and online learning stuff. If I start counting those, I’ll scare myself into getting a proper job. So let’s not do that.
