I got my first permanent full-time job today. I am the queen of contracts and working part-time in 5 places. I keep my accountant and myself very busy. I can remember taking an 8 month contract somewhere and feeling a little panic. I thought that was a long term commitment. I have worked at places for as many as 9 years, but always kept it auxillary, contract or casual. That way I could come and go as a I please. If the politics got annoying, I just took a break and moved on to somewhere happier for a while.
Right now my office is a happy place. My boss is amazing. There is guide dog who is generally off duty in the office that I get to play with. I am calling my position temporarily permanent (inside voice only…don’t say that out loud at work). The only for certain in life is change. I love change. I am thrilled to be permanent until something changes.
Congrats on the temporary permanent position!! I’m the exact opposite. I hate change.
I live for change. It keeps the the soul young and fresh, the mind challenged and expanding. If there is no change there is no growth and if the change hurts a bit, it’s just a growing pain.
Congrats on your temporary permanent position. If there were ever a time to hunker down and stay put, this would be it.
Yay for temporary permanent. At least it’s at someplace that you like!
