Between the hours of 11:00pm last night and 8:30am this morning, NewBaby made me sick more times than Kathryn did during my entire pregnancy. Keep in mind, Tuesday night is my 3rd shift night. So, I spent the entire night trying not to think about how miserable I felt, when all I wanted to do was sleep. I think NewBaby is not going to be as well-behaved as Kathryn. Which is scary. Unless it's the opposite: NewBaby is more rebellious in utero and a perfect angel once born. Somehow I doubt that.
Anyway, my night at work started by me finding out that our business office manager had been fired. Technically, her position was eliminated, but it all comes down to the same thing. They actually had a representative from our parent company come in at the end of the day last Thursday to tell her. She had to pack up and leave the grounds immediately. This woman had been with the company for 5 years. Doesn't that sound like the kind of company you'd like to work for???
The interesting part of all this is that even though they "eliminated the position" her responsibilities still need to be done. So, the human resources person (who worked under the BOM) is taking over her job and they're hiring someone new to do the HR aspect, which to me sounds like they just wanted to fire the BOM. As a result, there's an HR opening that I might apply for. It's a much better job, but it's full-time. That's a major downside because it means putting Kathryn in daycare 3-4 days a week. I'll let you know how it goes.

poor baby. drew made me sick 10 times, but i staved off additional sickness if i ate. he also moved about, kicked non stop, put me into false labor, made me have hives, and he's a perfect angel baby now....
I really feel bad for you. And I know how much you like to sleep. As far as in utero goes, I felt the worst when I was carrying Christian and we all know he was the most compliant kid I had. As far as daycare for Kathryn goes, I know it's not your first choice. However, I don't think she will have any problems. I think you should apply for the job. No more nights,right?
Yep. This would be the end of nights. It's a M-F (or M-Th) 8-4 kind of job. I decided to apply, but I noticed there are already a few other applicants who have been there longer than me (and they're announcing it in the paper starting today), so I'm trying not to get my hopes up too high.
do you want to go full time? i am dreading the day i go back full time...
ps the word verification strongly resembles a very bad word.
just make sure that there'd still be an income after the cost of daycare. you'd be blown away at the cost. i have a good friend who stopped working to stay home because it would have actually cost her more to work and pay for daycare, lunch, commuting and working 30 hours a week.
Today Kathryn and I visited our first-choice daycare ofr just that purpose--to determine if the cost is too high. If the job pays what I make now, it is. However, the job requires a lot more responsibility, so it might pay more, too. If not, I won't do it. (Assuming they even offer it to me.) I don't really want to work full-time, but I'm tired of switching between 1st and 3rd shift every time I go to work. And, honestly, I think I'm overqualified to answer a phone and make copies. Maybe that sounds a little conceited, but I didn't rack up thousands in college debt so I could be a receptionist for the rest of my life. And staying with this company means they can't fire me when I have NewBaby.
