I got me a new job! It involves (so far) sitting down and following many instructions, some of which are coherent to my 'flu-blocked ears. Listening to my bosses transfer information to each other and tell each other off (somehow in a non-confrontational manner) in what I think is Danish is amusing. It's a small business, so I'm doing lots of random small jobs, as well as what is in my job description.

It is part-time, four days a week, and I'm now earning more than my SO. Which he is duly amused by.

We'll see how long I continue to like it...

Congratulations!

*does the dance of joy*

Good to see you out of the odd hours, cold conditions and unreasonable expectations of the other lot.  Hope this one proves to be all you wish!

I'm sticking with two shifts a week at 'the other place'. I get paid much less, but I am (so far) handling the physical stress, and every little bit helps toward paying off the house early. The problem is, we're heading towards summer - it got to the low 20s today - and summer there can be just as bad. There is airconditioning (kind of) but it's directed towards the customers, not the people serving them.

During last summer, I spent a lot of time serving outside, helping people with bags, going out to get money instead of staying inside and dripping sweat on the produce...

When it starts to hurt too much, I will give it up, I promise.

But if I want enough money to buy a new rainwater tank and plumb it...
