I tried to do my own thing a few mos ago but based on my lifestyle/expenses and not having steady work I was forced to get a job again full time. This time though it is different. I see that it is not a JOB like I thought about my other job. My new job is great and people are fun and always happy. I see this as a career and a place to expand since Bank of America is so huge. I just started two months ago and tomorrow Thursday I have an interview for a Manger position that opened up. I think 2 myselfl where else would anyone even bother 2 interview me after 2 mos of just working there for a manager position? So thank god i feel great about my new job. When I was home all the time as Patti mentioned I was working alot and reading/learning at others and I was lost cuz am used to chit chattin all the time with my coworkers and now it was just me so i was bored at some point. LOL Now that am back 2 work it feels great it feels like I have a blance in my life again. I think having your own business is like they say the american dream. You are your own boss ! Just remember you do have to have discipline and find a balance to have a healthier life.
