Home early from work today since I’m still feeling a little under the weather. My headache and tummy ache from Sunday have evolved into a cold, complete with sneezing and body aches. No fun. On the up-side it’s thunderstorming here this afternoon, which I love. It makes it feel that much cozier inside.
I spoke to the judge I work for this afternoon and he told me that he’s decided to close up his independent practice, meaning that he won’t require my services anymore. He’ll keep me on through March, but that’s it. I have to say I am pretty relieved. It’s been a long time since I felt good about taking his money, since he pays me well and I just don’t have that much to do for him besides answering his phone. I haven’t felt like I’ve earned my keep for quite some time.
I had been thinking about quitting for a while now, but kind of didn’t have the heart to do it, since the judge has treated both Hawk and I so well over the past couple years, and to be honest, it will be $1100 less a month for our household. But now the decision has been made for me and I’m totally OK with it. It might just be time for me to have a talk with my boss at the perfume house about a bit of a raise.
It sounds very cool to work in a perfume house!
What do you do there? (sorry if you’ve posted that before, if you did I’ve missed it).
Hi Sari -
I’m an apprentice there, so I’m learning how to blend perfumes, and I am in charge of our Online Fragrance Journey, where you answer a series of questions online and we create three sample fragrances for you based on your answers. Our website is creativescent.com, you should check it out!
The perfumery website looks cool. I always have a problem with perfume, even if my husband picks it out, most of the time he changes his mind and doesn’t like the way it smells on me.
Then again, we finally found one we liked and then he didn’t buy it for me, go figure. Oh well, he says he’s saving it for my birthday.
