Working Hard for the Money!

You know how I posted my "professional" head shot and was all excited about re-entering the workforce?

Well, I've gone from this:

to this:

Well, thats not really me but thats about how I feel at the end of the day. :D   But its a good tired!  

Been at it for almost 3 weeks now!

Back story:

I was bopping around on the computer when I received an email from the "Talent Acquisition" department of the company…but the email was addressed to someone else.  So I replied that they emailed me by mistake.  They didn't, they just put the wrong name on the email and said to give the job opening a look.

It was an administrative position in their Private Client department (sounded schmancy) and the hours were 9am to 1pm, Mon-Fri.  Score!  I met all the qualifications and I wouldn't have to figure out after-school care for LM!  And whats crazy is that the building is on a street with the same name as my first house address.  Its karma I tell you.  

I was getting discouraged that I wouldn't find anything that fit my weird schedule requirements and out of nowhere came this email.  I hadn't applied because I had never heard of the company…they must have found my resume on Monster Jobs under Part-Time Searching.  Dunno.  What I do know is that the hours are perfect, the ladies in the department are awesome, we get free underground parking, free Starbucks coffee and we get to wear jeans on Fridays.  AND the ladies / department head are just as anti-pantyhose as I am! :D

I have been working longer hours on Mon and Wed because LM catches the van to the Taekwondo after school program we have him signed up for but otherwise I leave at 1-2pm.

On my 4th day of work LM was sick and needed to stay home but The Hubs offered to work from home and watch him (he wasn't feeling too swift either - allergies).  So crisis averted there.  I called at lunch to see how they were doing and LM was in a great mood!  Daddy had taken him to Panera and the frozen yogurt place.  Niiiiccceeee.  I stay home with him and the kid is in bed watching videos all day…Dad stays home and they hit the town. :D

The other day I asked how LM felt about me going back to work and he said, "its good, but I miss you".  I explained that he still sees me before and after school like before but he said he misses me volunteering up at the school on Fridays.  Awww.

I think me being back at work is good for all of us!

Just need to figure out the logistics for summer!
