It's a done deal - I have been sucked in

trickykittyI'm starting full-time work on Monday with the YMCA. Given the number of hours and how much I have been working currently, I was careful to listen to "additional duties", but they so far seem to be minimal, if none at all.
Good points:
I don't have to wait any more for someone to hire me - full time starts immediately.
I can return to part-time at the flick of a switch whenever I go back to school.
I got to set my own schedule (see below).
I already know how this place works, politics, when the stressful times are, etc.
The job really isn't that hard (for me) when I actually suck it up and just do the work.
I can drink and smoke on my own time to my little heart's content, and I can take cigarette breaks during work hours if I want, but I won't because I don't smoke at work. At least the option's there.
I don't have to train someone else to take over this job and then get phone calls from the person over the course of the next 6 months like the last time I left.
I can get away with murder here. They have no clue what I actually do. Seriously though, I really can get away with murder - this branch sits on 14 acres, 3/4+ of which is covered in woods. Do you have a body that needs to disappear?
There's an ice machine here. (Anything I can do to tell myself this is a good decision is helpful right now.)
And most importantly, I can play my own music in my office.
I really wasn't looking forward to any other job offers that had been coming up. Then again, I haven't been excited by much recently.
Hurry up and call me about movie night; that's something I can get excited about.
EDIT: my schedule
M 10-7
T 9-6
W 10-7
R 10-7
F 11-8
It would be 10-7 all days but I have a report due by 10 on Tues and have to wait for staff to turn stuff in on Friday.
