I love my work, but the downside of being self-employed is that you have no benefits and the income can vary wildly from day to day, week to week and so on, so I've gone back into the work force and doing the therapy around my schedule. I just finished week 1 of four weeks of training (and we get paid for the training weeks) and I'm trying to get used to getting up at ungodly hours to be at work on time. I have to be there for 7 a.m. and it's about a half hour drive, so I like to leave by 6:15 to allow for variables. When the weather gets bad, I'll leave an hour early, but my work hours are going to be mostly evening/night shifts, which is fine with me. BIG changes, but I'm really enjoying it so far.

Been two weeks since I started and it's still interesting learning. Training is 6 weeks altogether, and there are two more in the classroom and then two on the floor doing the work under supervision, and then we're on production. I'm slowly learning how much I can do in regards to running two jobs and trying not to exhaust myself. Wish me luck!

There's only one thing I can say. It's too hard to find great job nowadays. Luckily, I found the job that best fits for me. I'm now under probation for 3 months. Hopefully, I will pass and become regular employee so that my salary will increase. I'm very much happy of my new job.

It's been crazy busy. We finished our classroom training and tonight is the last night of our first week in the learning lab, where we're talking to real customers and dealing with the calls, but with lots of floor support and help. One more week of this and then we're out on the floor in our real teams and on our real schedules. The learning lab schedule has us working 4:30 pm to 1:00 M, Th, F, Sat, and 2:30 to 11 on Sunday nights. It's a big adjustment, but the pay is good, the benefits are great and I don't have any major complaints. Life is good...but I hardly have any time for me any more.
