...it's off to work I go!
After four and a half months at home I have started work again. Finally. Immediately in at the deep end too, with early starts. Yesterday was okay, I was due to meet up at eight in the morning. I met the other three starting as well. One of them I knew already from the previous job, so that was great.
This morning it was an early start however: start at 5.44 am. Which meant that I had to get out of bed at 4 and be on my bike at 5. Because guess what: I am cycling to work. Not sure how long I will keep it up, but I am doing it right now.
Some of the routes are fairly long and will take some time to learn, others are fairly easy to do, also because I am fairly familiar with the lay-out of my home town. Of course there will always be surprises and new routes, but I will get there at some point. The main thing is the routes out of town.
This morning it was partly 'oh, I am here' and partly 'where on earth are they sending me now?'. But, I will get familiarised with them all pretty soon I guess and then I will be out on my own. I would say about two weeks. At least I speak the language and know some of the area, which wasn't the case back in Norway and I managed it there as well!
Back to work. It's a change!
It's been a long time coming. Enjoy but above all, keep safe.
ReplyDeleteIt has and it has been tiring as well. Good, but tiring.
DeleteClapping wildly for you Mara....good things come to those(you)
ReplyDeletewho wait. Well done on the company for hiring such a valuable employee.
Safe travels and the bus wheels go round and round.
Hugs Cecilia
I'm so happy for you and I hope your can keep up the biking to work. Stay safe and stay well.
ReplyDeleteAnother day, another guilder or euro as the case may be.
ReplyDeleteEuro, we stopped with the guilder in 2001.

ReplyDeleteI am so cheered by the enthusiasm in your words - it must be fab to be feeling useful again. Hooorrraaahhhh... and I am sure there will be many tales to entertain us as you learn those routes! YAM xx
Ah, those routes! Those darn and blasted routes. Turn left, then right, right again, left again and in the mean time I am getting completely lost!
DeleteGood luck and stay safe. We hope you don't get too tired to be able to pedal your way home after a long day at work. You could probably ring mom or dad to come get you if you had to though.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations ! that's nice that finally you found a job ! What is it official transport bus or private trips ? I am still busy with emptying our house ! A nightmare !
ReplyDeleteGreat!! I hope it keeps going well.
ReplyDeleteAt 5:33AM everyone is dead asleep! No early birdies in this house! (That's because my ghostwriter works evening shift and doesn't get home until midnight. Sometimes she gets stuck working until 3AM! Blah!) Good luck with your new job!
