You've got a point there Lis, at least with this job it won't be monotamous and i'll be doing a few days here and a few days in there other office, so i guess it would be a good thing...thanks, you've lifted my spirits (as have the rest of you). I think it too could be that i'm scared to get back into the workforce. It's been 3 years now since i worked for someone other than family, and it's a scary thing....bit like getting pg after a m/c i guess, coz i know that that will scare the crapper out of me. Why can't life just be easy and straightforward???????
