Punchin' the Clock

That's right.  After 13 years, I've started working again.  (Not that I wasn't already working...I just wasn't getting paid for it.)  Today was my first day  as the Health Assistant at Lucy's school.  It's the ideal job--I'm off when the kids are off and I get to see Lucy now and then.  Besides, I LOVE the waves and smiling faces from the same kids I see at primary on Sundays.  This may sound weird but I'm even excited about the clerical part.  I enjoy making sure records are accurate and files are orderly...just don't look at the desk in my room to verify that.

It was SO strange filling out a resume!  All of my previous hire dates were in a different century.  I felt so silly turning it in.  They hired me anyway.  I had less than a week's notice.  It was a challenge getting everything done and I'm pretty sad that my days without 24/7 responsibilities with the kids (which were far too brief) are over.  Errands, doctor appointments, and trips to the gym are going to have to fit in somewhere else.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have a W-4 to fill out.
