After being out of the job market for almost 7 years and on SSDI for depression, anxiety and PTSD for 4 years, I decided to try my hand at customer service again. I'm working for a florist call center 20 miles away, 4 days a week plus overtime. I'm not the sort to do something halfway. Either I'll swim or sink. For a month now, I've been swimming. Thank God fat floats! :)

After Comcast's two full months of classroom training, my new employer's two *day* training was a bit of a shock. The rest of the "training" comes through messing up real-life situations with customers. O joy. Prepared? Not at all. Able to make mistakes? Quite well, thank you. My backside objects to sitting for 10 hours a day four days a week. What to do about it? Work some overtime. Voluntarily!

I'm still going to the gym 3 times a week whether or not I want to (and mostly, I don't want to!) and cooking occasionally.

I'm off Friday - Sunday unless I request overtime. Today I slept until 9:30 am then had therapy at 10:30 and lunch at Bonefish Grill in Mystic. I've spent the rest of the afternoon domesticating (and Lord knows it's needed!). 

We're having lovely fall weather and I'm wearing shorts, sneakers, and a tank top. New England, I love you!
