Catching up
Monday, March 25, 2019
It’s been almost three months since I’ve written a post. Time flies. I’ll catch you all up...
I started looking for a new career af the beginning of the year. Most good positions in my area are filled by word-of-mouth, not many are posted. Those jobs that I found posted had a very long list of responsibilities, with a very small salary (like, a quarter more than starting wage at McDonald’s small). I finally decided that if I had to accept that significant of a cut in pay I would also take a job in line with that, so accepted a position as a cashier at a grocery store.
Fortunately, before I could fill out my new hire paperwork, a word-of-mouth opportunity came my way. I am now with a company I like, in a position I fit into well. It’s the same type of work I did at my last job (purchasing and accounts payable) but in a completely different industry, with different regulations, and using different software, so I’m busy learning all sorts of new things. It feels good to shift my brain back into gear after a few months off :)
I’ll be back in my studio soon.
