I started a new job this week! I have not worked outside the home for 4 years. As much I hated to think about having to do the 40 hour a week thing we really needed the money. So I'm a working girl again in a construction office doing bookkeeping. I like the job, the girls are nice, but the commute is the pits. 33 miles one way in city traffic -- an hour each way. But I'm so grateful to have this job and it's where I need to be for now. It will help me save money so I can buy my dream farm!
I can only check the forum when I come home at night. I never realized how many times a day I popped on here! I'd visit and there would be a few postings. Now that I'm only on once a day there's LOTS to read through. We Farmgirls are a gabby bunch!
Sure do miss you all during the day!
Hugs,
Kay

Glad to hear you like your job..you will have to get some books on tape for that commute..that part will stink..but you have such a good attitude about it all..and I love that you can save for your farm!!

Hey Kay, glad to hear you like your new job. I thought about getting a "real" job last year to help us get over a rough spot. I'm normally REALLY confident but the idea of job hunting just scared the poo outta me. Isn't that silly? I applaud you going back after 4 years. We do what we need to, to help our families, don't we? :)
Blessings,
Rhonda

It's wonderful to find a job with people you like. I can truly relate to your commute - although blissfully mine is 45 minutes of mostly country driving! And books on tape make the trip go fast! The only *plus* I can think of is how happy I am to pull up the driveway each night to my little homestead!

Gals -- thanks for the kind wishes. I decided that I'm going to save to get an Ipod. I have several podcasts that I subscribe to and those would be great to listen to. You can also download books too -- good idea Jenny!!! I made it through a week and will get my first paycheck next Friday. That will be the fun part!
