1 New Job Starting Tomorrow

I actually start my new job tomorrow at the eye care place about 20 minutes away. I am so excited now. Previously I was quite upset, assuming I had burned four hours of my life on travel and more than two hours of unpaid training only to hear crickets from the doctor.

But it turns out that my new boss, a young optometrist, is just… scattered? Very busy? A little of both, perhaps? Nice lady, but it will be interesting to see how well I fit in with the existing crew. I will be working Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and most Saturdays. I say most as I also am going to be booth babe for Owl’s soap business when we go to craft fairs and conventions.

I have been given a ninety day probationary period, which is fairly standard. I will have to pay for my own health insurance, but I already k ew that. The doctor’s practice is currently too small to have to provide medical insurance coverage. I am still waiting for the email from Dr. Essbee, as I will refer to her here, with my onboarding paperwork. Maybe it ended up in junk mail or she hasn’t sent it yet. I will check on my laptop tomorrow before work.

My anxiety is pretty high tonight. Money is tight and I am tired. I am likely going to take some of my hydroxyzine so I dont just end up endlessly staring into the darkness for hours on end before I am able to fall asleep.

I hope to have nothing but positive things to say about work tomorrow evening.

Take your meds, folks.
