A New Dawn


I got the job!
I am ridiculously happy about it; even going so far as to use the phrase ‘pig in poop’ at least once today.
At the end of September, I will cease my time as a Supermarket Assistant Department Manager and begin my journey into the world of Filling Station Duty Management. It may not be the most glamorous of professions, but it’s a hell of a lot more exciting than what I’ve been doing for the past few years.
It’s an amazing change in circumstances. Apart from emergencies and one Saturday a month, I get my weekends off! I’ll never have to work later than 8pm on a weeknight, and I will be in total control of staff rotas and therefore my own hours. I also get a few thousand pounds a year more than I’m on at present. For the first time since we’ve been together I’ll be earning more than Philippa!
I’m looking really hard, but I cannot find anything that is a negative when you compare it to my current situation. So either there’s something I’ve missed and I’m going to get a very big shock, or life is about to get much better!
To celebrate, I am taking Philippa to the cinema, and to a very pricey restaurant.
Have a good weekend……
