I GOT A JOB!
That's the good news. The great news! I've been looking and looking and being rejected and rejected...not fun. I finally got a job and it's a huge relief off the old bank account! Phew! And what did I do to celebrate the happy occasion?
Yep, I went book shopping! Full price, hard covers aside, no coupons, book shopping! It was glorious. I was in there 10 minutes and managed all of these.
The bad news?
Yeah, there's always bad news, isn't there? Now that I have this full time job I wont have nearly as much time to read, blog and blog visit. Oh, don't worry, I love this blogging community way too much to just fall of the radar, it'll just be much harder to find time. So, if I'm not around as much for a while, don't worry, I still love you. I'm guessing it'll just be a matter of learning some time management before things seem normal around here.
Happy Reading!
Congratulations! When do you start?
ReplyDeleteAnd, I'll forgive you for not commenting on every single post ... for a while. ;) Ha! Just kidding! I'm just glad we're friends and that's enough for me! :D
Well, thanks for the wonderful compliment! I start tomorrow. Eeeep!
DeleteCongrats! That is quite a fabulous selection there, but I'm going to have to insist you start with Body & Soul ;)
ReplyDeleteYes, I think I shall have to insist myself. ;)
DeleteYES!!! I am SO pleased for and proud of you!! Finally getting a job is a wonderful feeling. I really hope you enjoy it and I of course expect you will be too busy for constant blogging ;)
ReplyDeleteP.S all these things I've done is a truly fantastic book xx
Cait x
Thanks! It's a relief.
DeleteCongratz on the job! That's awesome. Sucks that reading time has to be cut down, but that's life. I don't have as much time for reading/blogging anymore, either.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'll miss all my extra reading time.
DeleteCongrats! And YAY for book shopping!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteCongratulations! That's so awesome. Plus you got some amazing books so its a win-win. I found that I listen to more audio books now that I don't have as much time to read. I still average around 4 books a week, just 2 of them are audio.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I might have to start listening to more audio books...or something. I'm going to miss my reading problem.
DeleteCongrats on the job! That's fantastic, I hope you enjoy it! :) You bought loads of great books too. Will miss you around the blogosphere, but really happy for you :).
ReplyDeleteThanks! The book buying was fantastic!
DeleteYAY!!! Congrats on the job... AND the books! I see a few of those in there I'm anxious to read. :D Time management is always a hard thing with work and blogging. I'm sure you'll manage it just fine!
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's going to take awhile to learn how to manage my time.
DeleteEverything is going to be great! It'll all work out and perfect! :) Way to do the book haul. I hope you love them all!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I hope I like them all too. I spent enough! ;)
DeleteYay!!!! Woohoo. I'm so happy for you. Welcome to the world of working bloggers. Itll be tough to prioritize at first but you'll find your groove soon enough.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I can't wait to find that groove. I'm feeling so stressed already!
DeleteI'm so excited for you. But dang it I was just going to call and see if you could help Momma watch the kids while we are out of town next week. Dang! Maybe you could still catch one of Seth's games since you will be the only one that understands them. Talk to you soon
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'll see what I can do. I want to go watch him play really bad!
DeleteYay, congrats on the job AND on that glorious stack of hard cover books! Wehoo!
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, you can always blog on your lunch break! That's what I do!
Isn't it glorious?! I keep looking at them and smiling!
DeleteYipee! So happy to hear it and I hope you still find time to read/blog. Good luck with your job!
ReplyDeleteI'll find the time. I might be quiet commenting and blogging for awhile but should work it out soon enough.
DeleteCongrats on getting a job! There are many bloggers who work and blog about books, so I guess it must be possible to do both. There are always evenings and weekends if you don't have time during the day.
ReplyDeleteYes, I know it's possible. I just need to figure it out.
DeleteCongratulations, Jenny! A job is good. You'll find time for blogging and reading. And I know that the job won't conflict with book club, right? :)
ReplyDeleteNope, I wouldn't have taken it, it if had. ;)
DeleteI JUST COMMENTED AND IT DIDN'T GO. However... i will suck it up to CONGRATULATE you, becuase... dude! Not working is so stressful, you can't even enjoy the free time. For real. So... good job celebrating you. I feel like you were victorious in celebrating. Also... body and soul.
ReplyDeleteOh, thanks for coming back! Yeah, it's hard to appreciate your free time until it's gone. Sigh!
DeleteWow, that's awesome! CONGRATULATIONS! :) Book shopping is the perfect way to celebrate, I see some great books in that pile :)
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower, I love your blog :) x
I think it's a great way to celebrate as well! Thanks for stopping by!
Delete+JMJ+
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! =D I can totally relate, by the way: one reason I've been scarce lately as well is that I recently started a new job, and although I do love it, boy, does it keep me busy! LOL!
But I'll keep an eye peeled for any new posts and will continue to comment here. =)
Yeah, starting a new job is one of the stressful things ever!
DeleteCongrats on the new job! :D and I love how you celebrated by going book shopping :P I wish you all the best! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! The book shopping was a blast!
DeleteCongrats on the new job! It's so true that the "free time" when you're not working doesn't feel like. I hope you really like what you get to do!
ReplyDeleteAnd fun books. :) Maybe you are the one who originally recommended The Ghost & The Goth. I'm in the middle of the second one right now. Such a fun series.
Yeah, I kept telling myself to enjoy that free time but didn't do so well. Now I miss it, of course. ;)
DeleteI'm so glad you're enjoying The Ghost and the Goth series. I love it and can't wait to see how it all ends.
Congrats on the new job! I'm bummed you won't be on as much, but that's life, you know? Just don't abandon us altogether -- I would miss you WAY too much!
ReplyDeleteYeah, that's life. I won't abandon you, don't worry. ;)
DeleteConga rats to you!!!
