NJM23 - Entry #21 in These Foolish Things

I think I’m starting to come around to this WFH stuff. Here’s what I did today:
Tomorrow I will spend a good portion of the day packing for my Thanksgiving trip!
I'd still prefer to be going to an office, but I'm going to milk this "freedom" for all it's worth until the next thing comes along. If there's one thing I've realized is that this isn't going to last forever. Nothing lasts forever. Nothing.
And I'm still in complete AWE that I now have a job that is one thousand times less stressful than the job at Cutie Pie. I was just telling myself this morning that it is worth the thirty-thousand-dollar difference in salary.
Isn't that nuts?!
So, I think I have everything I need for the Thanksgiving trek - I just need to pack it all up neatly in sweet lil' Mini Pearl II and get on the road early, early Thursday morning. Tomorrow will be a doozie, I think.
I have more to say on a serious note (two really terrible things happened this week to friends and I just don't have it in me to download right now), but I am going to have to leave these things for another time when I can process a little better.
For now, I'm going to bid Day #21 adieu.

30K less is totally worth so much less stress

Honestly I would take a $30K pay cut for a less stressful job in a heartbeat. I’m happy for you.

I'm sorry to hear about your friends. I hope they are ok.
I'm happy to hear that your job is much more relaxed than the previous. Those entries you write while working there vibed with so very much stress I could barely read them. Let alone you lived it ♥

It blows my mind how many people don't understand that production is a process! xx

This job - and working from home -- is what you need. After the insane stress of Cutie Pie co, medical issues and long bouts of unemployment, enjoy this. And hopefully you do so well they in the future they want to keep you so badly they bump up your salary.

What CN said. It’s not just 30k, it’s potentially your life. Stress is a known killer and Cutie Pie was toxic. Toxic can be deadly.

Yes, 30k less is worth more in a joyful life than the stress that it can bring you. I know you'll find something that is better suited for your talents and skill but something is better than nothing coming in and being able to enjoy life it better than being stressed! Happy Thanksgiving!

Animal print clothes can energise people.

Not understanding production seems like willful ignorance. Yeesh.
