    Tomorrow it begins.....

    Well, I'm hoping I've put this in the correct section.

    I'm starting a new job tomorrow.. I left my old, secure, comfortable job after what seemed like a lifetime and am venturing into the land of unknown!

    I have nerves, as everyone does when they start, BUT it's not just a new job, but a total lifestyle change. I'll be working FIFO 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off. I'm totally stoked about having two weeks off ever month but I am really sad to be leaving my home and husband for two weeks. I never really thought I'd be the one to do FIFO as my husbands profession is certainly more likely to take him into that sort of role.

    I guess it's all become so real! I hope I can handle it. I'm sure I can, and to be honest, I dont know what the point of this post is. I guess I just need to know I'm not crazy for doing this. I have the full support of my DH, family and friends.

    On the upside, I''ll get to chime into BB more often because I will have NO life for the two weeks I am away.

    Entering my own TWW, just of a different kind.

    I'm also sad to be leaving for my new job at this time as my best friends MIL, who I am also very close with is very sick and expected not to make it for much longer. I want to be here for her.....

    Sorry for this being all over the place!
