'Tis the season to make big-ass decisions

I took the management job. Which means I am now am having a general, all-purpose feak-out that I actually took the management job. But trying to put my best face forward and think positive for once in my life. If anyone sees a puff of smoke over the North Shore of Massachusetts, it means I spontaneously combusted from the effort.

The weekend off is a very welcome thing, even though I'm working on Christmas proper. Here's hoping for a quiet holiday night. And after that I go on day shift. Sleep, how I've missed you.

Lastly ...







I fucking love this town.

The pay's better though, right? Because money is awesome.

Congratulations bb!

The pay is almost 4 bucks an hour better. But that is kind of neccessary to compensate for losing the shift differential.

And, yes, money is awesome.

Thanks!

Congratulations! That's great! :D

The prospect of a new job like that must be absolutely terrifying! I don't blame you for being rather leery of what's to come. But! Remember that 1) it pays much more and 2) it gets you out of a job that's making you miserable. Hopefully these two things will help to make the challenge worth it! (Also, from what you've said about your previous experience, you're up to this challenge.)

Also, that tree is awesome. :D

Thanks for the pep talk! It's a big change, but I'm trying to stay positive.

And I freakin' love that tree. They do it every year. I wanted to get a pic of it all lit up, but I'm too lazy to drag my ass out after dark.
