New job
Yay! Rufus has a contract job at Charles Schwab for the next few months. Not only does that alleviate any lingering financial worries (my least favorite kind), it also means we can walk to work together again. Best of all, our schedules are much closer now. I really hated only seeing him for a couple of hours at the end of the day.
I don’t know why anyone would willingly work from 8 to 5. In the winter, it’s dark when you go to work and dark when you come home, too, which is pretty damn depressing. Most businesses are closed when you go to work, and closed by the time you get home, too, so you have to pack all your shopping, going to the cleaner’s, and other errands into your weekend, seriously cutting into your precious leisure time. Not to mention the fact that traffic is at its worst, making your commute as long as possible, both morning and evening. Why is this schedule desirable?
Instead, Rufus is working from 7 to 3:30, so he’s home by 4. He doesn’t even have to wear a tie!
