| Christmas 2018, featuring my $5 flock |
Let's not bury the lead here, however: I have just been offered an honest-to-goodness full-time job, the kind that a grown-up who has not spent the past quarter century being home with the kids might get. I mean, it has a SALARY.
I really thought that, at this point, my only chance of employment was somewhere that would offer me a store discount, okay?
Best of all, after 2 or 3 months, I will be allowed to telework. Meaning, Susie won't be completely neglected. I said this to Theo, and he said, "I'm sorry, but 'neglected' is not how I would ever describe Susie." Apparently, there are some sibling issues to work out here. Then again, we DO call her "the grandchild."
And that's all for tonight, folks - my brain is too full of "I have a job!" to be able to produce anything even remotely interesting to read here. Also, I need to start online shopping for work clothes. I'm thinking my JAG jeans won't be appropriate for office wear - even if I don't make the mistake of putting them on backward...
I am SO EXCITED for you! And clearly putting the tree up rarle was an excellent decision.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! That is HUGE news! Keep us posted on your new work wardrobe and the transition back into the workforce.
ReplyDeleteYour work clothes shopping will be good for all of us! Share!
ReplyDeleteWill you let us know what you’ll be doing?
Congrats!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!! I can't wait to hear all about it.
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I'd like a job with a discount though lol. I actually applied for Joanns when I was mad at work but I think I put the wanted salary too high lol
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I'm so excited for you. And just of all the blog fodder your co-workers/customers will bring.
ReplyDeleteWow --- congratulations! What's the job?
ReplyDeleteHow great! That is an incredible Christmas present! I sometimes get in the 'woe is me, what kind of REAL job will I ever get to do'. Not like my college degree is really helping me with my babysitting. Good luck at the job, can't wait to hear more about it! New wardrobe shopping: so FUN!
ReplyDeleteOh, congrats, that's great news!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I feel like at some point I need to go to work and have often felt that Target is my only option. Although, the Target here appears to only hire 20-somethings with blue and/or green hair and a plethora of tattoos and piercings OR gray-haired people that appear to have some form of dementia. I guess I fall into the latter category....
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeleteDoes the job have blogging rules and are those rules stricter than Larry's?
