A year end bonus!!! Dream Job Achieved!

Sometimes when your situation looks beak, fate hands you a golden ticket and a chance at a great opportunity. Today, I secured employment. And its not McDonalds!

No, my fear that I would have to work a midnight shift at a dreaded fast food joint once again has sailed. I got lucky enough to be asked to join a new family at an adult boutique. So once again, I am entering into the world I know so much about. I'M BACK BABY!!!!!

To say that I am excited is an understatement. There's a lot of room for opportunity for me. I will be up on my feet and running around again and losing weight in the process. I will get to meet and work with new and interesting people. I got a new boss who already has bent over backwards to get me into the position. And I really feel the vibe of a "family" atmosphere that I so crave in the places in which I dwell. To get paid and get bills out of our lives. And build our new goals. No, EARN them. Yes. We got a lot ahead of us to conquer, and now I've got a foundation to build it upon once more. A job where my knowledge will become handy and I can feel "useful" once more. Not a cog in a machine, but actually impactful and helpful once more. One of the most rewarding experiences I have had in my life.

I am really grateful that these cats are going out of their way for me. My only option with the limited availability I have thanks to the wife and kid's needs meant I would have to work a midnight to 7am shift somewhere. And so... When would I sleep??? Good damn question! But I was prepared to do that to get things to happen for us. But fate has handed me this, and I am soooo grateful! I plan not to squander this opportunity and really give it my all.

Okay, I'm talking deep here folks. Its just a job right? Yeah, on the surface. But for me, its a way of fate saying "yes" to my plans and letting me continue with my plans I had laid out. And that along the way, I can get back something that I was robbed of two years ago. My self respect.

So thanks new place! I'm looking forward to the journey with you. And 2011... I'm coming for ya! Its gonna be a great year!

Be safe everyone. Have fun!

Luvs, T
