So guess what?
It was one week ago yesterday that I drove into Somerville to start my new life and today I had my first shift at my new job. I’m working at with the Bostonian Historical Society selling tickets, ringing up purchases – things like that. It’s certainly no career but it’s a job that is giving me something to do, money, and time to adjust to my new surroundings.
I’m incredibly thankful and I’m pretty damned excited - even if I did end up getting into the city two hours before I had to because I was so damned paranoid about using pubic transportation. It’s probably safe to say I’ve got that covered now though; I’ve made several trips into the city by myself and got home tonight for the first time alone.
I guess that sounds strange to people out there who are used to buses and trains but I’m from the suburbs and drove my car everywhere. The only time I ever used public transportation was when I was on vacation. In time I’m sure I’ll learn it like the back of my hand and then come to love it . . . and probably hate it.
Until then, life goes on.
Tomorrow, I’m working until 5 and then going to try and get my laundry done and maybe hit the gym.
Either way, I’ll be (thankfully) busy.
