When I swanned around and had long lunches and didn’t have to go to work every single day? Any day really. Mostly I had more time to think and plan and put into motion the things I had planned. Then I started a job. A familiar but different job. I was back assisting my Mum in real estate sales and doing some promotions and marketing. Nice.
A little while ago I took an opportunity to change roles a little. More hands on in reception and more hours. I loved it. I just adore answering phones, juggling the incoming traffic and what people need. It makes me happy. I love to be able to tick a box and mark all these things as done at the end of the day. But the hours kept stretching and time spent on my blog started waning. I missed it.
Then Nikki posted a photo of her cafe breakfast and blogging essentials and I remembered. It was so concrete in my mind what there was to do that all I COULD do was do it. Thankfully I’d discussed it with Hubby and even mentioned it to my employers. I had floated the boat. now I was going to set it adrift.
I notified my employers that the new arrangement didn’t suit. I had hoped it would. I requested my old position back {it had been rolled into my new one}. I still have my fingers crossed. But it looks like it will work out.
Life’s too short to not do what you want.
Hi! I’m Suger; Chief Blogger at Suger Coat It. Blogging since 1901; love a casual ootd, taking photos + writing about things that irk or inspire me. I love wine and cheese, long days in the sun at the beach and spending time with my family. I make stuff for the internet. Which means I take photos, create content, write copy and devise social media plans for personal brands, small businesses and bloggers. You know, living the sweet life.
Good on you, and so true!
Thanks! I know, right?
Freaky….I’m going to ask/tell the boss I want to go part time 2mrw…..it has taken me all week to get the guts to do it. Sheesh must be something in the air this week.
Something in the air for sure! Go get that PT. xo
sounds like a great plan 🙂
I certainly think so. Thanks!
Oh good luck … glad my photo was a little prompt for you x
It was actually. Last night I posted a image from Instagram that said, if you’re waiting for a sign, this is it. And there this morning was your pic. It just seemed like the nod that my plans were waiting for. You know?
Oh goodluck! and you are spot on (and I think kind of reading my mind today!) Life is definately too short to not do what you want- make sure you do what makes your heart happy! xo
Thanks! Absolutely. Way too short.
Goodluck Suger…:)
Thank you! 🙂
