A new job and whole world of worry.

Ah dear blog, we've been apart for a while so I thought I'd pop by and say hello.

So I've reached a new turnign point in my short life and made a life changing decision about my career. I figured it's about time I got on. My thirtieth birthday will be upon me in around six months tims and I've taken the someswhat shaky decision to jack in my old job and get a brand new one and this folks is the kicker, it's in an office working nine to five.

Now I've not worked in an office since I went on work experience in school some ten years ago and to be honest after working in a factory and then a stores since leaving school I never thought I would but the lovely lady I'm proud to call my girlfriend spotted a job on the job centre website and said to me that I should apply. I was reluctant but gave it a go and in less than a week after ringing them they gave me the job. On the spot. Actually in the interview. I was amazed, thats never happened to me before. So now I've gone from being a lowly storeman in a second rate factory warehouse to being a customer support agent in a legit software company.

Here's where things go a bit worrying though, the new job is less well paid than my old job. Now therein lies a problem because I'm stuggling with money wnough as it is without taking a pay cut. In six months when I'm fully trained the money goes up a little but still not to the levels that it was. Poor old bird is working in two shitty jobs that she doesn't really like for fifty hours a week just so we have extra cash coming in and boy do I feel bad for her. Bless her she's doing everything she can for us at the expense of her happiness. All I can do is keep her happy in the best way that I know how and be there for her when she gets down, I just hope I can live up to the responsibility.

So there we have it, good news tinged with bad. Isn't that always the way? Ah well, until next time, good old blog.
