And finally the good news...

I have a new job!!

Yes, as of next Friday, November 4th, I will no longer be making the trek across the entire Greater Toronto Area to get to work, but instead will be making the trek across... my hallway. *grin*

The job will allow me to work from home. (and yes, it's for a real company. No stuffing envelopes or making jewellery or anything odd like that...) Besides the money I'll save on gas and eating in the gross cafeteria, I'll be able to actually make use of my gym membership, and I'll have more time to spend with Mr. Pink, which I'm really looking forward to. (especially since I've been afraid he was going to dump me for being such a bitch all the time when I get home from work *grin*)

Better, I'll also have two freelance gigs - editor for the online e-publisher, and still doing some writing for *the store I work for*. Just at home.

I must say, this is a huge sigh of relief for me. First, there's the disrespect for the writers here (anyone who looks at the proofs feels it's ok to screw with my work, because, after all, it's just words), which I find seriously unprofessional. Add in the dirty washrooms and gross cafeteria, and the 4' x 4' working space, and well, it was definitely time.

So I'll be able to listen to the radio as loud as I want, get up when I want to, work when I want to, and no driving. Woohoo. And if I get too lonely without the whole office politics thang, maybe I'll get a dog. *grin*
