Jobs

I got offered a job yesterday and it was very exciting to think someone wanted me to work for them. Then the questions about the details of benefits, etc, caused some hesitation, and today I accepted. The United States government is Fedexing me a packet of forms to fill out and will be sending a laptop with about 22 hours of self study before the trip to Dallas January 26. When I get back home I'll spend two or three days in the field being trained doing surveys about income and programs that will be used to figure out the consumer price index. The territory is all of Holmes County, but mostly Lexington, the county seat. That's about a 45 minute drive one way.

Usually when ever I/we make any big decision I second guess it after the commitment is made, and this is no different. Can I do it, will I mind going out in all kinds of weather, what if Keith gets a job, what if I don't feel like talking to people, what if I get lost, will I ever be afraid, etc.? Maybe we all feel this way and sometimes don't even admit it to ourselves. I have often said,"I gotta act like a grown-up." Well this is it.
