job news
I start a temp-to-perm position on Monday. I'm really excited about the company and the opportunity (which I don't want to talk about too much yet because I'm a bit afraid I'll jinx it.) The job is 8:30-5 M-F, exactly what I had been hoping for. It's in San Francisco, and since I don't want to deal with parking I will be dealing with Caltrain and Muni.
I am a little nervous about the commute. I've always had to drive to work, 30-45 minutes usually depending on the location, day, and time, but given that I was usually traveling in non-commute hours it wasn't so bad. And of course, in a car you can also run errands or make any extra stops you want. Relying on a train with a fixed schedule will be interesting. My current plan has me walking to the station (six blocks or so) to catch the 7:28, after the transfer to Muni it should get me where I need to be at 8:18. I haven't figured out the trip home yet, or what I'm actually going to do on the train.
I think I'm dealing with a bit of "be careful what you wish for" here, I always knew that making this schedule change could be difficult, but now that I'm staring at it all I've got are questions: when will I run/watch movies j doesn't want to see/do my homework? how do I fill an hour's lunch in the city? And given that it's temp-to-perm there's also the issue of not thinking I 100% have it because I don't yet.
So welcome to me actually making this transition, instead of just talking about it. Hopefully it will be a good ride.
