Starting (New) Job Tomorrow

#1 Post by traininvain » Sun Feb 24, 2008 9:01 pm

After about 9 months of "helping" my wife out with her business here at home, I'm going back to work fulltime. Unfortunately there really was never enough work for me to do around here and I really was just being Mr. Mom most of the time, which was great, but also kind of boring. Plus having to dole out about $1000 a month for health coverage wasn't too much funfor either of us. So this time out I'm staying away from retail and giving an office environment a shot...wish me luck.

Good luck and welcome back to the rat race, which the rats are still winning.

Thanks for the well wishes, no rats today (there is a foosball table), but plenty of new things to learn.
By 3:OO pm I was ready to call it a day, unfortunately I still had 3 hours to go. :shock:

As you get used to the new schedule, you will be fine.

Heck.... better than fine, I am sure.

Why so much? Do you have kids?

Yes I do have two kids, so I'm on the family plan. And $1,000 is actually pretty cheap, if I had to pay for it on my own (I'm currently going thur COBRA) it would probably be at least $1,500 a month.
