Adjusting

It's weird having a full time job already. I'll admit I was really not expecting to land a full time job this soon. I was just so dead set on not moving back home after school, that I really didn't care what I got a job doing. I could clean cars and mow lawns if that's what it took to pay the bills. I'm not a proud person.

I wonder sometimes what it would be like still living at home with my parents though. My sister moved back home after her graduation and wasn't able to find work for like three years and has only had her job for over a year now. She's soon to be in her own apartment, but I don't think I could survive that long at home now. I butt heads with my parents too much now and have way too many conflicting views/opinions with my mother. My mom and I are both very stubborn and I think we've both learned when to pick our battles, but things still come up...

It's definitely strange though trying to adjust to working 40 hours and having way less time at home. Not like I had a whole lot of personal free time during school, but it was still more time at home working than now.

I'm worried about this job though and how long I'll last/survive. I have problems with leaving work at work. I always stress about work at home. I really need more planned activities to distract me when I'm away from work. If any of you have ideas on how to leave work at work and not think about it as much, please, feel free to tell me all about your ideas! :D
