What I Expected?

I found out yesterday that I was formally offered a position with the Federal Deposit Insurance Company (FDIC).  I, of course, accepted, being as a currently have no job and cannot live on Worker’s Compensation forever (seeing as I expect to get these fingers fixed gosh darn it…).

A Government job with government pay and benefits… I don’t think that’s really what I ever really expected.  However, I’m excited.  It seems like it will be quite a challenge.  There is a lot of challenge involved and I don’t know what that will look like in a couple of years when I’m ready to start thinking about kids, however, I think it will be a good thing right now.  I can get out of debt and even save up for a house and retirement if I budget carefully.  I’m hopeful that the challenging environment and the job in general will be enough to keep me interested and dedicated enough to spend so much time away from home.  I’ve kind of gotten used to being around more and seeing Donnie every day…

It also throws school off a little, the whole “lots of traveling thing.”  When I started classes I didn’t even remember I had applied for this job in November… so 2 actual on-campus classes is going to be… interesting.  We’ll see how it goes… hmmmm…
