I’m starting a new job in January. Today was my last day at my current job. For those of you who can’t math… that means I have almost two weeks where I will be completely unemployed<\/em>. Some of you are probably thinking “It’s the most expensive time of the year. You are totally nuts.” And you are probably right!<\/p>\n

But who wants to start a new job right after Christmas? Not me, that’s for sure. Plus, I had already planned on taking that week off to spend time with family. I’ve always heard about the joys of taking time off in between jobs. I guess now I get to find out if it’s really all it’s cracked up to be.<\/p>\n

It was definitely bittersweet to say goodbye to everyone today. I’ve been with my current employer for over three years. And I have a lot of really amazing\u00a0coworkers who I consider to also be really great friends. There were a lot of hugs going around the office when I got ready to leave this evening.<\/p>\n

The new gig is fairly similar to what I’m doing now, but with a different client base.\u00a0It’s a smaller company, so I will\u00a0be taking on some extra responsibilities as well. The best part (besides the raise)? It’s in downtown Boston. And they pay for your subway\u00a0pass. I will probably regret saying\u00a0this… but I’m really looking forward to taking the T to work again.\u00a0I have to drive my three different schools just to get to the highway and my current job. Dealing with Orange Line will be a cakewalk by comparison.<\/p>\n

Starting a new job always makes me nervous, but I’m looking forward to a new challenge!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
