So, lately I have been completely stressed out with my job, and I am sure every one has gotten that. In fact, I really haven't been happy for around a year or so but I had to make money some how. Luckily things have really turned around for me and I am so over joyed I almost feel guilty about it.
In the last three weeks I have literally worked about ten hours, which one logically cannot live off of. It has been really stressing me out, and Stephen and I are so broke! Finally I decided to get serious and find something else. On Monday I started looking for a new job, specifically in a daycare so I wouldn't have to worry about doing lab hours any more. After some-what over looking a post I had seen because it was posted in the wrong section of craigslist, I decided to finally call this daycare anyway on Wednesday. I talked to the owner on the phone that morning and got an interview set up for 1:00 that afternoon. Of course I was thrilled; but I really didn't want to get my hopes up. The interview went really well for me and I was thrilled to see owners of a business that seemed pleasant and logical. They told me that they would call me back that day, and so I began to wait... and wait.
I knew that the center closed at 6:00- so when it was 7:00pm and I still hadn't heard anything I assumed that they decided not to hire me after all. Then at around 9:00 that night I got a phone call! He apologized for it being so late as he had some things come up... but then followed to tell me that he wanted to offer me a job as the lead teacher of the 1-year-old room! I was STOKED! This is what I have been wanting for a long time. Better yet, I am guaranteed at least 40 hours a week, and up to 50 hours. I also get a 30 minute break during the day- which was so weird, but I LOVED it!
I went to quit my job at Clippers N Dippers and Jenni took it better than expected (thank God) I didn't give her much notice, but I didn't feel too bad because I haven't worked for weeks when I was promised to get first dibs on hours this winter- yet Angie has been working at least 30 hours a week. I also had to go and quit at OTC, which was kind of sad because I was attached to the other teachers and my 3-year-olds... but they all wished me luck and were really great about it.
My first day was Friday and it went pretty well. My hours are from 8:00am to 5-5:30ish Monday-Friday. I couldn't be happier. I just hope every thing continues to go really well. I am in the classroom by myself as the only teacher most of the day until we combine toward the very end of the day sometimes.
This also gives me a lot more conformation about the baby thing. I have been wanting to start trying for a while, but I was worried about working at Clippers N Dippers pregnant, and if Jenni wouldn't pull some crap and just fire me for no good reason anyway. I was worried about having to work 60 hours a week in the summer heat in there with no breaks and heavy lifting. Now that I have this other job, even though the pay is less- I can comfortably start trying without worrying about not being able to work due to pregnancy. It is a lot easier to lift a 1-year-old than a 100+ pound dog.
Anyway- I need to keep my head up, because I know God will provide and I am so lucky that things are starting to turn around now. :)
