Hi Anita,

Thank you for the wishes. I wish all the best in the New Year!

Homecoming: reclaiming and championing your inner child. Can you download it, or find excerpts from the book and read. Or listen to an audio of the book, and then get back to me and tell me your thoughts about it?

Yes, I can find it and read some of it. Thank you.

It’s been hard, to be honest. I keep thinking the afternoon shift was a mistake. They are saying we could go back to the office. That would be a disaster for me. I am afraid of coming back home at night. My neighborhood is not very safe.

It’s not looking good. I am thinking I should have stayed in the previous department. But that’s with all the decisions I make. I second guess myself. I also posted here about it to make myself feel better about choosing. I think deep down I wanted someone to convince me to take this job. Because I couldn’t decide, I panicked.

And even without going back to the office, working afternoons are very hard for me. I have no time to myself. No time to go shopping, etc.

It’s hard. I talked to my manager about switching shifts but she said only if there’s a vacant position in the morning shift.

I hope I can get my chance soon this year, but I am worried.
