A job!

Ooh, it's really a happy news for me. I found a job! I got a job!!

Oh.. that makes me a really bad mother yeah? I rather work than take care of my kid. Not that I don't like taking care of Tara, I just feel that being able to have a job and earning my own penny gives me a better balance.

Whenever I'm outside, shopping or stolling around with Tara, and I saw those working people, I'm so envious. And I so wana get a job. And there, I found one!

I will start work next Monday. Actually I told them I can start this Friday, since it's the 1st day of the month. Yeah I know, just work for one day and then rest for Sat and Sun and go to work next Monday again. It doesn't matter to me, I'm so looking forward to going to work so starting this Friday or next Monday does not matter to me.

This job is totally different from my last one. I've got no sales target to meet and I don't need to travel all over Singapore. Yeap, it's a deskbound job. I don't earn like I used to but then again, I don't need to pay for a car so, yeah, it's about there. I'm happy.

But I guess there's things I need to get used to, all over again. The new colleagues, the new work place, the new job scope. I need to get some casual work wear too. I saw my new colleagues wearing what I usually wear on a Saturday and I haven't got much casual wear. I'm used to wearing a bit more office-like cos of the clients I have to meet everyday. Then again, I still feel it's better to dress up nicely when going to work so I'm gonna get smart casuals, to fit in the crowd, and not overly casual, i.e. wearing slippers to work.

Okay, I will get used to it. And these few days, I hope to spend more time with Tara. She's still my No. 1. My evenings after work and weekends will still be hers. But I'm happier this way.

Some of my friends told me I'm crazy, and I don't know how to enjoy life. Hmmz, I don't think being at home everyday with a toddler is considered a life to me.

Then again, different strokes for different folks.
