I got a job!!!
I went yesterday for an interview and the guy just called me and said that I got the job. Now I know for a lot of you that already work, this is no big deal and you probably wonder why she is so excited. This is just part of the transformation I am going through. Ten years ago I had a bout with cancer and Joe became very protective of me and did not want me to go out and work. That is when my laziness set in and the weight came on. The girls grew up and were out of the house and by then I was just to fat and insecure to even think about getting a job. Making every excuse imaginable not to work. Couldn't stand, couldn't sit, couldn't fit into a uniform, couldn't even fit behind a cash register. You name it, I made the excuse not to do it. Well, I have now realize that getting out of the house is something I need to do and my daughter Kristen gave me the lead on this job. To make that decision to call for the interview was one of the toughest things I have done in a long time. But I went in yesterday with the confidence that I can do this, and actually went and had to sell myself to him. You know how hard that is to do when for years on end I have thought of myself as nothing but a waste of space in life. But I did get the job and I feel great about it. I will be doing data entry on a computer for The Cedars Home Health Services. Also he was wondering if I would be interested in doing some home companionship for patients. Nothing medical, just keeping them company and helping them out in their homes. It will all probably start out part time and then move on to full time. Joe is happy for me and we know this will help us out financially so much. But just wanted to share with you, as you are all such a big part of my confidence and life now. Lots of love.......Gay
Yeah, I think it is a good thing. If for nothing else, my mental state it will be good. Of course I am afraid of all the changes that it will make in our life and it will take me time to figure it all out. I have been in a routine for so long, to break out of that will be a challenge. I know I usually drink my protein shake in the morning while on here and yesterday I tried rushing it before heading out the door and it did not go well. So I will have to figure on taking it to work with me. Then taking care of the house and all and getting my exercise in. Nothing different than a lot of people already do, but change is often rough for me, so this will be a challenge. A welcome one, but still a challenge. Take care.....Gay
THATS GREAT NEWS GAY!!!! HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR NEW JOB!!!!!!
