Workin' 9 to 5... what a way to make a livin'....

Is it me, or am I quoting Country Music singers lately. I won't even quote the lyrics to the song.

So....

After 10 years of Stay at home Mom'ness... I returned to the work force. And the title of my blog should really be... working 9 to noon... then maybe 2 to 3....

It's totally part time and totally what I was looking for. I can go in whenever I want to. Basically, choose my own hours. I must clock in (is that the right term?) 20 hours a week! So I can work around Mac's preschool time, etc...

I even got a RAISE before I started! How sweet is that? Guess, I still got it in me... or it might be due to the years I worked there before.

My duties will be to make copies, scan and file documents, mailing, spreadsheets, etc. And then, every other weekend I'll be working the SWITCHBOARD! I've always wanted to work a switchboard... although in my head a switchboard operator looks more like that cat on Webkinz when you go to get a job. OR... for the life of me I can't remember what Children's Book I remember this from... but there was a duck or a chicken or something that ran a switchboard.

Sadly... I won't have one of those cool headsets, nor will I get to plug and unplug connections. I'm imagining this:

Ah well... I do get to wear a badge... with my picture on it. TOO BAD THEY DIDN'T WARN ME ABOUT "PICTURE DAY"... because I didn't straighten my hair and I look like a Humidity Fur Monster. Ugh. I wonder if I secretly lose it, if I can get a redo. I mean she did ask me "Is it Okay?" and I did say "Yes"... but what was I going to do say "Um, no... I'd like an hour to do my hair and then can we redo it." Ugh... double Ugh.

So there it is... I'm a workin' girl!
