Is it bad that I'm 40 years old and still don't consider myself grown up?
When I was a child I thought a 40-year-old was ancient. Surely at this age, a person would be settled professionally and personally. Although I may be as settled as one can be (chasing 4 kids around)personally, my professional life is evolving yet again.
As of June 1, I will be working for my husband at his insurance agency, a whole other blog topic I'm sure :-) This means no longer having to clock in at an office and trying to work 9 - 5. I'm sure there will be long days ahead yet the long days will be entirely dictated by ME, not my husband, not a boss, not another co-worker, but ME. I will I eat what I kill, or in less graphic terms, I will make as much or as little money relative to the amount of time I spend working. Needless to say, with 4 kids hunkering in the background, I plan on working a lot.
Am I a little scared about this whole self-employed thing? You bet. Do I have faith that my husband and I working as a team will be ultra successful? Abso-f**kinglutely.
My only question is what kind of perks do I get sleeping with the boss? :-)

Right on!!! You and your husband are a match made in heaven from what I have witnessed....you both have a drive that most people wish for! Keep your heads high and reach for the stars I say....and about the perks, I'm sure you won't have any problems there????
ReplyDeleteWahoo! Atta girl, Jenna. I'm sure you're going to love the new job! Try not to be too scared though.
ReplyDeleteAs far as perk's go, the one with the, -ahem- female crotch area, call's the shots! ;)
Congratulations, Jenna! Being self-employed is tiring, maddening, stressful, fantastic, rewarding, and AMAZING. When I left the corporate world, I thought to myself, "What's the worst that can happen? I don't make enough money, and I get a second job at Target." That was seven years ago. You'll never look back :)
