Good news: I finally left the old, far away, icky job for a new, close, happier job. I work here. The people are terrific, and of course the pets are wonderful. There are a few downsides–which I’ll post about some other time–but overall I love it!
Since I took a significant (but worth it) salary cut, I’m currently also working at Williams-Sonoma part-time. It’s like a kid in a candy shop…I want to buy EVERYTHING!!! So far, I have restrained myself, but I”m not sure how long I can last…
So, life is much better.

Woo-Hoo!!! Yay for new jobs that are awesome!
Congrats on the new job! Hope you are happier there!
One of my first summer jobs was working at this small chocolate shop at the mall. Everyone would ask… “Are you always wanting to eat chocolate now?” I actually got so sick of the smell and looking at chocolate that while working there I NEVER at chocolate!!!! LOL Looking back now, I probably should have stayed there! Great way to diet! LOL
