To not be able to believe my luck!

I’ve been a SAHM for many years. Desperately needed to get back to work but worried about not working for so long and thought I’d only be able to get a crap job, used to dream of being able to WFH before Covid and when it happened was thinking how wonderful it would be if I could land a WFH job. Quite envious of DD as she has been WFH all through it.

Anyway. I applied for a few jobs a few months ago not thinking I’d get anywhere but got offered one. At the time I thought it would be office based but it turns out everyone WFH and there are no plans to go back to the office!

I cannot believe I’ve finally got a job I’ve dreamed of! Great people (all women of my age group), interesting and worthwhile content, part time flexible hours. a salary which will massively improve our situation and great benefits. The best thing is I don’t have to dress in uncomfortable office clothes, get stuck in traffic and can stay in my own home! Also we are all constantly talking to each other on teams so it’s not lonely.

AIBU to keep pinching myself Grin.

Congrats Lucky I hope you enjoy the job💐

Congratulations Flowers
I'm a big fan of WFH especially now disability would make getting to the office exhausting. I can work in my slippers and nobody knows.

This is great. Congratulations!

I WFH and have done for a decade. It's been brilliant for me and I hope it's good for you too!

Brilliant news! Well done 🥳

HotChoc10 · 03/12/2021 19:17

That's brilliant - congratulations.

My job is similar and you've reminded me to be grateful for how much freedom it gives me, as I've been pretty mardy about it lately!

The joy of working from home and the fact that you can eat as garlicky a meal as you like without having to talk out of the side of your mouth the next day Grin

Amazing OP, congratulations! I dream of a wfh role after 4 years at as a sahm, this has motivated me to keep searching despite not finding anything for 6 months!

What a great feeling. Ian aged something similar a few years ago, and thank my lucky stars at least once a day. The flexibility and good will are worth so, so much to me.
