Walking Pneumonia

Not me, Keith. He came home sick on Monday and I made him a doctor's appointment for first thing Tuesday. He got his diagnosis, some prescriptions and then what? Of course. He went to work.

Today was my first day of work. I found out today that the other position is going to require a master's degree, so I won't be applying for it. I am a little disappointed, but you know, at this point, I can't complain. My first day on the job and I'm going to complain about not having the opportunity to apply for another job? That's just crazy. They are working with me and making compromises to fit what I was looking for. I have 2 months off in the summer, I am happy.

I can't really talk much about what I did. The office was quiet, my boss and others were in a meeting for a few hours this morning. We went to lunch when she was done, I went to do my new hire paperwork and then it was time to leave.

I will say, I noticed a lot of people have been there for several years. Some have changed jobs in that time, but still, there's longevity. Everyone said how much they like working there, how much I will like working there. I witnessed people going out of their way to be helpful to students and just do things that were "nice". Good first impression. No one said I was dressed frumpy. I made a point to ask what kind of clothes I should wear so I won't be accused of being frumpy at a later date.

I'm looking forward to talking to Keith when he gets home. It felt good to be out of the house and working again.

I am revising my "plan". If things are comfortable with this job and I finish my masters, I should be finishing it around the same time that Hannah wouldn't necessarily need me to be waiting at home for her and that will be a good time for me to get back to working full time. It seems like that would be a good way to map it out for myself. I still wish there was a way I could finish at Webster. I really liked the set up of the classes there.

Okay, gotta run. More later.
