Well that company emailed me yesterday. I goto the first orientation day on Saturday at 3pm. I think my first full day will be Sunday 6:30pm to 5am. I guess I will be fully employed again. 


I am kinda eager to learn the job and go through the first two weeks. Then get my first pay. I hope that I am fast enough at the job etc. We shall see.


I have been a bit down maybe due to the switch in the season from Summer into Autumn. Dunno. I gave up coffee and am drinking more hot teas.

Kudos Chris!

I'm told Amazon loves you if you have 1/2 a brain you'll go places. Therefore I expect you will be doing well! Go easy on yourself...

Thanks guys. OlderCPer..I am on 10 hour shifts. So 4 10 hour days a week. Also one day that is reserved for over time. I made a mistake I don't start this Saturday but on 10/28. Looks like I have an extra week of freedom. :-)

I also have vastly cut down on my coffee intake. I drink a lot of tea too, nowadays.

That's cool, you still have 3 days off each week, plenty of time to take pictures.

When I planned my 2nd career it was with the intention of only working M - Th. and I've always enjoyed having Fridays off and those 3 day weekends....the older I get the more time I need to recharge these old bones and get ready for Mondays! LOL

    I did the dumbest thing today.  I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds.  I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym.  What a dummy!

    Ever since I stopped doing therapy because of insurance, I've been feeling that old tense and irritable sense of anxiety and stress. I hate that. I was making so many strides and changes during therapy, my therapist would acknowledge all of my progress and accomplishments, and I miss that reassurance. Today I thought about it, and I made those changes!
