"Under this heading the boy had written: 'Industry is a good thing because it is better to work in a carpet factory than to be out in the rain with nothing to eat.' Having written these words he had stopped, wondering to himself 'Is that true?' and had turned to look out at the rain-swept park." (Midnight Is A Place, Joan Aiken)

Perhaps not the most encouraging book a person could possibly read, on a rainy day right after accepting a job in a textile mill. At least I have a job, though. (The contracting agency, in an Aiken novel, would probably turn out to be working for the Hanoverians. Here, I think they're klutzes on a much less spectacular scale.) I'm to start 5/27, which gives me a bit of time for the emotional transition from looking to work to working. I hope it helps.
