I am about to finish my first week at the new job. I was thrilled to land a position with the Faculty of Law at UVic that was not a step down from my previous position at the University of Manitoba. I had taken to applying for clerk and receptionist type positions and had signed up with a temp agency just to get myself into the workforce. I'm extremely grateful not to have needed those steps in the end.
Going into day four tomorrow, I think I have a fairly decent handle on what I'll be doing. I'm sure I'll have many questions along the way, but at this point I'm feeling ready to take it all on!
Having a job makes me a happier person. Even though it means cramming cleaning, making lunches, laundry, grocery shopping, various errands, and family time into a shorter window of time, the quality of that time goes way up when I have a workplace to go to during the day.
It also makes weekends extra special. Last weekend, the long weekend, we went out to Fisherman's Wharf to check out the sights, the wharf, the seals, and the playground. We also took the kids to the pool, which they always love. We went to Playland when it was raining, playgrounds when it wasn't raining, and set up a second water table (this one went on the front patio). We even went for a nice bike ride.
I'm really looking forward to the weather getting warmer so that we can spend more time playing at the beach and outside in general.
