Well kids, it's official - I start my new job on March 11th! I got the call Monday night as I was booking my hotel room in Miami Beach and surrounded by family.
It's a big girl job with benefits, a 401k and paid time off. Never in my life have I enjoyed these kinds of enmities from a job. My health insurance comes out of my own pocket, I have no retirement fund, and any time off I've needed has come with a price - or no price as in a smaller paycheck. My entire adult life has been spent working as an independently contracted photographer or as a waitress or for my father at his business or working part time jobs while going to school.
I will still be struggling financially for the next few months but at this point I'm used to it. And it's a small price to pay considering that I will now be receiving a steady paycheck instead of worrying about how much I'm getting paid this week or that or whether or not I need to file my unemployment claim. I finally see light at the end of the tunnel and nothing is going to stop me from making my way towards it.
