Money

[threemonkeys]

I signed on the bottom line today. I start a new job on Monday. I'm happy with the workplace and I'm happy with my ability to do the work. My only worry - getting up in time. My body clock needs serious readjustment. It is like jet lag but without the helpful change in sunrise time.

I wonder what I can spend my first pay on.

The locality you will be working in is not a shoppers' mecca, so I expect special expeditions to dispose of the mounds of filthy lucre you'll be earning.

Are you praising the weak US dollar, yet?

Being away from shops may have the benefit of keeping spending under control. Although indications are that getting into Welly from time to time shouldn't be an issue. For sure, the weak US dollar is no bad thing for a consumer - yesterday I checked out a few titles on Amazon for the first time in ages because of it.

And you can always go for a run along the beach at lunch or after work if the mood takes you.

"run" - me thinks thou joketh too much.

Walk however...

So sorry to hear the bad news that you are working again. What a bummer!

Would you like to borrow a cat (I've got several spares)? They are great for getting you up in the morning, jumping up and down on your recumbent body, purring loudly, slavering in your ear, etc.

Thanks for the offer but I'm not sure I could sustain the blood loss associated with your cats ;-)

From prior experience at restarting work after a long break - the first week is going to be pretty hard. I always end up feeling mentally tired.

Good luck!

Thanks. Yes, I think I'm going to be a zombie outside of work hours for a little while.
