it's about time...

i got a new job!!!

as of Monday, August 7, i will no longer be in the employ of my father's accounting firm, but rather in the employ of PrintProd, Inc, a custom tag maker. i'll be customer service/admin, taking orders from customers and typesetting their information onto tags for print. i'm excited to be moving into a paying position in a field i want to be in. i've been doing typesetting and graphic design for a while now with hubby's company, but as an unpaid intern (and loving every second of it -- i'd much rather do what i want to do all day for nothing than be paid for doing something i hate). a wage increase and the possibility of medical benefits round out the goodness of the new position.

it's a bit scary, as i've been in the same position with my father for 10+ years, but at the same time, that has been 10 years of a job i hate, and for the past year and a half has only been part time (by choice, not necessity).

all in all, i'm excited. the schedule will take a bit to get used to (8a-5p), but only because i've been able to sleep in until 10a if i want to and maybe go to work by noon, but only if i feel like it. i wont have that luxury any more. no more late nights playing random video games. midnight will be the absolute latest i can stay up, and really i should be in bed and on my way to sleepytown at least an hour before that. that's going to be the hard part. i'm such a night-owl.
