This is how a friend used to find me any time I started a new job! I would always burst into tears and say how much I hated it.  I guess I wasn't good at change.⠀
⠀
I think I've become better at adapting as I've aged.  It's funny to look back on those times now though because despite first day nerves and subsequent tears I've always loved every job I ever worked in. ⠀
⠀
Running my social media business from home now means that there are challenges of a different nature. Imposter syndrome is real sometimes and although I definitely love doing my job, I can't deny there's been some tears occasionally😣⠀
⠀
I have to be strict at setting a proper work schedule and to not allow my mother to think I'm always available for a chat or to drop in! I probably get more work done alone at home because I'm able to start earlier without that commute, get all my work done and know that I'm finished by school pick up time and ready for those after school activities. ⠀
⠀
So what do I miss about office and commuting life? Well, I do miss the banter and being around friends, office Christmas parties and company perks (ITV did offer some good ones!). Would I swap though? No way, I feel like I have a good balance now and it must be a good thing that  I spend less lunchtimes in pubs!⠀
