Job

Okay. So I print out all my updated resumes, get all dolled up, and head into D'ville to start filling out applications. I go first to the hospital and use their online app process, ahnd them a resume, then head over to the courthouse. (Not saying where- security, you know.) Lori, a good friend of mine, told me a certain office was looking to hire a certain position, and though the pay was mediocre, the benefits were outstanding. (Health/life insurance, 14 paid holidays- same as the kids- 12 paid personal days, 5 vacation days after a year, 10 after two years, excellent retirement, deferred comp... the list is endless.) So I applied- and the office manager (an elected official whom I adored on sight) took an instant liking to me, personally escorted me to HR and insisted I be pre-employment tested immediately.

Long story short: I aced the typing, math, spelling, and grammar tests they gave me and he will be calling this week to set up an official interview. Can you believe it? The hours are great, too- exactly what I've been looking for. In the summers, if Troy can't trade shifts, I will seriously look into Y daycare and assistance (which I know I will qualify for) and now I will be able to meet all my bills! Is God good or what?!

My only concerns: my work outs (ugh! Early morning runs are the pits! I'll have to invest in an elliptical trainer for the house,) and keeping my two night classes a week so my Y membership is free. I guess it will all work out.
