After five and a half months working in Evanston, I finally managed to get a job in my own neighborhood! It's gonna be such a relief to not have to spend over an hour on a bus and two trains getting to work every day. The new job is a 10-15 minute bike ride away.

#this evanston job has been such a drain on me #don't get me wrong i like my coworkers and the dogs of course #but the commute has been kicking my ass #to say nothing of the overly regimented and highly inefficient way the place is run #adding in the commute and the hour-long midday break on long days...i put in 52 hours a week toward this job #and i'm only on the clock and getting paid for 35 of those hours #it's just too much of a time investment with not enough return #tbh i WANTED to get out of the doggy daycare industry altogether but seeing as how that doesn't appear to be an option right now #the least i can do is go to a daycare closer to home...that'll solve a lot of my more immediate problems at least #plus it comes with a pay increase and more hours #so if my math is right i'll be making around $600 more per month than i currently make #chicago life #work adventures #doggy daycare adventures
