Darling…
Yes my love?
This is the first time that I’ve seen a job ad and I’m not immediately getting an application in within 24 hours… I’m not hyperfocusing on it or rushing to apply. But it’s still at the back of my mind, I’m thinking about it and thinking about it…
Is this job going to be something you can clock off and stop worrying about it?!
Hmmmmm… I’m gonna say… 90% of the time?
But your current job is 100% of the time.
But I don’t have any responsibilities in my current job.
Oh? The new position will have responsibilities?
Sigh… with the salary I’m expecting… yes…
What are you expecting my love?
A higher tax bracket.
Ooh… how high?
Not as high as yours… π€£π€£π€£ LOL…
Just slightly higher?
Yeah… slightly higher…
High enough to accept responsibilities even if you’re still worrying about work when you clock off? What about when you’re at home with me?!
Of course there will be guard rails and boundaries. My love… I am mentally preparing for what I will and will not accept in a new role like this…
What is… the title…?
That doesn’t really matter.
It doesn’t?
Nope. The salary matters to me more right now.
But it’s a non-profit.
That’s true… I think I will discuss this with AI on my day off babe. I had a quick conversation and then I also asked my older brother and he gave some advice as well.
Oh… your brother knows?
Yeah I’m bouncing off ideas with him about my application.
I see…
But it’s a non-profit… it’s a charity?
Yeah. It is a charity. I’ll be working for a charity if I get it.
Which honestly does feel more authentic to me for this later stage in life my darling.
I understand…
I’m just wondering what charity… π
Do you wanna do a campaign with them?
I don’t know?! WHAT charity is it?
Lol… I don’t see Fernando doing a campaign with them right now love.
Why not?
Cos they’re only based in Australia.
It’s an Australian charity.
I think if Fernando is semi-retired, doing solo projects… a campaign is possible…
Oh?!
But not even necessary? I mean, for your brand image. If you really want to and I start working for them, sure, I could suggest it in the meetings but then won’t I have to admit conflict of interestΒ Fernando is my husband?!?!!
Babe… they’re not gonna believe u when u say that… they’ll just think ur a delulu coworker… π
Lol… okay well I don’t think Fernando needs to collab with this charity. I don’t think we need to cross paths. We can exist in our own media realms.
U really think so?
Mmmmmm… I am not getting any intuitive sense about a collab with a celebrity like Fernando…
I think the charity just does local events.
What would be more likely, that I can see, is more like you’re hanging out with me incognito, and you don’t even care. Say they have a charity BBQ and you just show up anyway cos you’re curious and you wanna spend time with me and you’re simply hiding in plain sight!
Your fans might even have your photocard dangling off their backpack, come to the charity event. And you’re just smirking!! — Incognito! π
Hahahahahha… π I like this idea…
I can see that happening.
Ooh… so you’re really moving on…?
In my mind I’m really gearing up this… readiness…
I don’t know if I will start drafting a cover letter tomorrow… or Monday…
What is the vision that you’re seeing?
I can see that I might even rent out a coworking space.
Coworking space?!
Yeah. Because…
If the job requires Monday to Friday, I would want to work from home Mondays and Fridays, and then go to the coworking space Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.
Unless you’re visiting, of course! Then I’m working from home the whole week!
Wowowoow… this is your plan?
OR… if it’s a 32 hr week then I’ll do 4 days… but something along those lines…
So maybe 2 days at home, 2 days at the coworking space.
U still like to be around people?
I think it’s healthier.
For me, personally…
100% at home is not always the best. Unless you’re home, of course. When my HUSBAND is home, I’ll stay home πβ€οΈ
Hehehehehe… this is very interesting…
Thanks babe… that’s all the brainstorming I’ve got for today. It’s so… oddly coincidental that… I want to apply.Β But I’ve been rostered the whole weekend on so I have to stall this application. I have to chew on it and stew over what am I going to say? Can I really see myself working there? I’m putting a LOT of thought into this…
Does it feel… like it’s happening…?
Yeah.
I feel it… even tho I haven’t applied… I feel like it’s gonna be a good fit…
For how long?
Oh. I would love permanent, full-time…
Didn’t u just say u only want 32 hours?
I changed my mind. I want full-time.
Aren’t you prone to burn out with full-time?
The thing I’m betting on is that this time it’s an industry that I want to be a part of. And it is a charity. It gives me a sense of purpose so there is no burn out.
Ohhhhhh…
Babe have u seen those Tik Toks where they do talk about burning out as someone who works for a charity? π
Yes……..
So… are u sure u still want it…?
Sigh… let me stew over this some more. I’m still thinking about it…
πππβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ I want u to know for sure if it’s worth the leap.
Yeah… me too… π₯°π
