I switched position from stylist to receptionist in the salon, and already there is a pay increase, so it is definitely a good thing. I think the challenge is going to be getting used to a flexible schedule. As a stylist, my schedule was always the same week to week.
Last week I worked 21 hours, this weel 25, next week 36, then 3 weeks of 17 hours. 17 will be my minimum and once the receptionist I am replacing gets married, I will settle in to a solid 25 or so hours a week. I think that will be the end of February. The 17 hour weeks might pick up hours as she needs to do wedding stuff as well.
In general, rather than 9 or 10 hour days, it is 5-7 hour days, with most days being just 5 or 6 hours. My boss has been very considerate in letting me work a schedule around the yoga classes, so that is definitely a plus. This next 6 week session of yoga which starts Jan 3, I will be able to go to 4-5 classes a week. It's gonna kick my ass a little after a three week break, but I am committed to getting to every class I can.
I just went through and extended out my calendar for the next 6 weeks. In ink.
I also hope the next few weeks brings a new laptop so i can get writing appointments on my calendar again too. Outlook good.

I think it is a matter of portability with the 12 inch mac weighing in at under 5 pounds. I am computer-wise such a dork, I cannot play games on my laptop anyway, so that is not a factor. Also, we would be keeping the dell desktop we have and the dell dj is totally compatable there, so again, no issue. I think that the less virus thing is also a perk, and the fact that it is totally more stable. Also, since E is thinking of going to a mac, there is still compatability there as well.
