I moved from New York to Watertown NY to work at a great company that I loved. But my new job was not just another job. It was a new experience in a whole new city. I was part of a team that was changing lives and changing the world.
As a person who’s lived in New York for a couple of years, I’m used to the noise and the hustle and bustle of a city full of commerce. But for me, Watertown is more like a vacation. It’s a place where I can escape the noise and bustle of the city… for a couple of days. It’s a place where my family can come to relax and recover.
My new job (as a software developer) is the culmination of 15 years of work in a company that has moved around a bit. For me, it was a chance to get back to what I love, and to try things that are new to me. That doesn’t mean I didn’t have any problems. I was surrounded by people who were not the best people, and I felt the pressure to be great.
I’m still working on my issues. I had a meeting with a supervisor in Watertown and my manager wasn’t very happy with me. They asked if I would be interested in doing a different kind of work, and I told them I would be interested in that. But when I told them I love my job and I don’t want them to fire me, they said that they weren’t doing it because of me.
We are not firing you, you should not be worried. They are not doing this because you are a bad employee. They are doing it because your job is so hard that if you quit, you will ruin your entire life. It is a vicious cycle.
A few months ago I posted a job posting on Jobster that sounded good. I was hired as the Director of the Office of Community Engagement at the Watertown Community College, a job that allows me to work with the college’s social service arm, the Community Action Team, which is mostly focused on job training.
I was in an Office of Community Engagement at Watertown College, and although I had just graduated from college I had already been offered the chance to work at the College for a few weeks while my new job was up, and I had been in the office since then. It was like you couldn’t make sense of your day job.
The job was a great opportunity for me, but it also meant an abrupt change in my routine. It also meant that I only had one day off per week and no time off for vacation. In a lot of the other jobs I had, I had to be in school from 8am until 5pm, six days a week. But I was in Watertown College for the week, so I was free to come to work from 2pm until 6pm and go home at 7pm.
The good news is I get to enjoy the water, beaches, and nature of Watertown. And I get a lot of free time to go for walks and surf. The bad news is I am now working for a man who does not seem to understand that you should only have a few months off per year, and a lot of that time should be spent relaxing in front of the television or doing laundry.
As a fellow Watertownian, I wish I had access to a bigger house, where I could bring my family, and more room to entertain. But my husband and I do not have any kids, and a single person can only take so much time off. We do, however, have a boat that can take us to more remote spots on Long Island and Connecticut. This is a great time to explore those places that have not been explored by modern-day tourists.
