The first day was great. The kids were great. The staff was great. The food was even great. (I ate in the cafeteria with the kids...and it was great because it was free and healthy.)
This is the place for me. I knew when this job was available that I would end up there because that is what has been like with almost all of my jobs. We just found each other and clicked.
I think that is one thing that made living in France so hard for so long. I lost myself a bit when I came here and I didn't have that sense of belonging anywhere - not even at the grocery store. Then little by little it started to become more familiar and more like home. Yet the job piece was always missing. I feel like the missing link has been added to the chain and I am beginning to become more whole again.
Maybe this will help me sleep better too...

Fantastic! Sounds like a perfect fit; the perfect start. Congratulations! You'll sleep like a baby tonight... or better!

Congrats! I know how that feels I think you and I arrived in France at the same time. I'm still taking a beating in the I.T. sector doing freelance but musically some good things are supposed to happen so I hope to be in that happy place too. Maybe you guys can come to a show. lol!
Congrats once again on the new gig.

Wonderful! The "job part" is extremely important, and a lot of expats suffer on that issue. I'm glad to hear things are off to a good start for you.
