I have jobs and thinking about what I want to do with my life on my mind, but thought it wouldn't be appropriate to post about it here. That's when I realized how much marriage will effect my job and work, and how much work could effect my marriage.
Right now I am working in what I consider to be a dead-end job. I've only been here for almost 2 years, yet besides the owner of the company and the HR/controller/IT guy (neither of which gets a paycheck from this company) I've been here the longest. This job has just about nothing to do with what I went to school for (not that I know what I would do with my degree), and is both boring and hectic. Basically, I don't want to be here forever.
But I have health insurance. And a regular paycheck (no matter how small it is...). I'm not ready to lose those things. I also am trying to plan a wedding here, and keep my personal life together, so a big upheaval in my job situation, between looking for a new one and learning a new one, is not ideal. So here I am. Yes, I have a job, which is fantastic.
Once we're married, though, I have a feeling I will be seriously reconsidering my employment status. I might leave a month before the wedding, just to get all the last minute things taken care of. And then after the wedding I can be on Dino's health insurance! He makes enough that we could make it by for a bit, until I found something better.
But then, what do I want to do? Lately my number one thought is baking. If there were some way I could sell my baked goods, that would be fantastic. State law makes it a little complicated and expensive to sell food made in your home, but it is an option. I could also dedicate more time to crafty things, perhaps turning them into something to sell as well. I wouldn't make hardly anything, I believe, but at least it would be something.
Dino is supportive of me finding something better for me to do. He does NOT want me to just quit and sit around watching TV all the time, which makes sense! I hope I'd get bored of that pretty quickly, and need to find something! He also wants me to find a way to work from home if I need to. I am open to the idea of getting a part time office job (or maybe something else! Not sure I could be on my feet all day, I seem to be developing some arthritis in my feet already... I think I'm too young for that! But maybe retail or something if need be) and then baking and crafting the rest of the day. In fact, that would be fabulous.
So there is another reason I am getting anxious to just get married - health insurance and a complete change in my job situation! Can't wait!
