normal is a dirty word
Sunday, September 07, 2008
I started my new job this week, and after a bit of the obligatory 'ok, so now what' ing that happens when you begin a job you're not familiar with, I have a reasonable handle on what its going to be like and what's going to be expected of me. Or at least I think I do, and that equals roughly the same thing.
From the girls' perspective (Superwife and Trin's) I think they are already planning our lives around me not going back to shift work, so I suppose I better start applying for whatever full time gigs I can find, both within the outfit I work for, and anything else that might come up. After only a week being off of swing shifts, Superwife has decided to share with me that she wasn't the big fan of it that I always assumed she was. She just wasn't telling me, because I suppose, until something else came up, what would have been the point?
For my end, I haven't really made up my mind whether I like working like a normal person yet Personally I have always thought 'normal' is a dirty word. I mean honestly, who wants to be generically compared to everyone else? I have always considered myself to be abnormal and am more than a little proud of being a bit off-center when compared with the rest of the people around me. But that being said, I am liking getting home at a reasonable time each night, and also knowing that I am going to be free to sit in my pj's every Sunday and watch football (like I am doing as I write this. So I am not counting it out just yet.
And for anyone who is keeping up on my letters to Trin, this month's letter is up here.

I'm totally laughin my butt off at that flicker pic.
Anyway, personally? I'm a planner. Stability and routine is always good with kids. With you working a regular 9-5, its easier to plan meals, outings, dance classes etc.
You should see my daytimers. Yes, thats plural. I have one on the fridge with Morgans schedule, a personal one for my doctors/shows/flea markets/craft shows and business crap, and another one to plan meals, chores and errands.
