I am quite proud of myself for a change :)

[MrsMorgan]

Have been doing my new job for 3 weeks now, and today I actually thought that I could see my self staynig there for the forseeable future, which for me is a mjor thing.

I get incredibly anxious in a strange environment, and have previously sturggled to hold down jobs/courses because of this, leaving after a very short time.

I know 3 weeks isn't a long time, but considering that on the 2nd day I really really wanted to get off the bus and walk in the opposite direction, it is brilliant for me.

I am incredibly lucky though. All of the staff I work with have been so nice to me and gone out of their way to make me feel welcome. The pay is good, and they are really flexible in terms of time off etc. Couldn't have asked for more really.

I still wake each morning and think wtf am I doing this for, but once I am there I am fine and might even be starting to enjoy it lol.

Most of my threads on here are of me whinging about stuff, so I thought a positive one would be a nice change

It felt fab getting paid too

Hi MrsMorgan,

You should feel pround of yourself!!! There is a lot of pride to be felt in being the sole provider for your family.

Hope everything works out with your new job

Thank's firecat

I'm taking my dd's for a long overdue girly shopping day tomorrow to celebrate lol.

Yah! You should be proud of yourself.
I still remember starting my " new " job almost 2 years ago I felt on top of the world now... well I hate mondays but, I'm always cheerful last week of the month (payday) It's a great feeling that paycheck treating the DC and knowing you did that no one else.

Excellent news :) Definitely worth it for you and your family in the long run. It will have its ups and downs but to feel supported is great. Once you start to really get used to the routine you begin to see ways to make the job more efficient and opportunities get more involved.

Good on you
It's got to be worth it in the long run - you're diong the right thing.

Thank's all

It felt great to be able to go and treat the girls today.

I think you are right too Liz, once I have been there for a while I will be able to get more involved with the running of things. They have already set aside a day for the stock room to be cleared out and rearranged, and said I will have the biggest say on what goes where because I am the one that has to put stock away, and be able to get to stuff to restock other areas of the ward
