Start a new job on Monday

It's doing the same job I had last year, setting up a new store. I am feeling anxious, though I know I can do the job and enjoyed it last time. Am hoping that this will lead to something more permanent, we need the extra income right now. Could have kept the last job, they wanted me to but I didn't have a good feeling about the place - strangely enough they were robbed the week after I finished, also they have had to cut everyone's hours down. Have a better feeling about the new store, they are in a great position, close to public transport. I'll see how I feel in 6 weeks time.

One thing that is bothering me is what the state of my house will be, last time it was bad, it's bad enough now but I don't want to let it get any worse. I don't envisage myself having a lot time to do things - will be leaving home at 6AM and probably not getting back til 7pm - or later (last time we had some 10.30pm finishes in the rush to get done. Last time my daughter was working with me too but this time she won't be, she is going to have to take over much of the housework. Am thinking about printing up chore lists for each day for her and my son to work through.

Like I said it's only for 6 weeks and when the store opens if when I get a permanent job there the hours won't be as long nor will I be working everyday. Talking of a permanent job I have been told by my old manager (last job) that she has openings there as well and has hinted that I should apply for her second in command position. Told her will see her after the set-up is finished.

Commuting time will be over an hour - train leaves at 6.36 which means I have to out of the house by 6.20 at the latest to walk to the station - will leave earlier, don't want to be hot and sweaty first thing. That will give me plenty of time to get to the store, it's not far from the station. There is a later train that will still get me there in time but gives me much less time at the end of the trip. Better to be safe than sorry.
