Work

Well here I go, back to work tomorrow. It's been over a year since I worked. I'm quite nervous. I am going to miss my baby so much. I hate leaving him. I'm not worried about the people he's going to be staying with. They are amazing with him. They love him and spoil him and dote all over him. I just know I'm going to miss him. I'm going to have to look on the bright side though and know that it's going to make the time I spend with him more quality instead of quantity. I think you get to a point where you spend so much time with your kids you don't end up doing anything that is special. Besides this is temporary. You're all going to laugh at me when I tell you how long... 2-6 weeks. It's still hard though. I remember when I left Jack the very first time when I went back to work after he was born. I cried for two weeks straight before I started and then I was fine.
I am going to work for a local municipality. I worked there before in a temporary capacity, back when I first met my husband until shortly after we got married (which was a whole 4 months after we met). Every time they have an opening they call me. This is the first time I've gone back though. Every other time it was for a full time gig. I'm also nervous about my ability to do the job. I know that the people who approved the position and decided it was a 2 week job are not the ones who have the work that needs to be done. The people who have the work have a lot of stuff they want me to do and I'm not sure that 2 weeks is even close to enough time. I'm also working under a bridge in a trailer, which didn't bother me until I found out that some homeless people tried to break in when one of the girls was there by herself.
Here is the deal with the location. They had to put a trailer offsite because they didn't have enough office space. So they put it on some land that they own which happens to be under a bridge. I am working with Stormwater Inspectors and other people who are often out of the office. I am also going to be getting off later than they do. I was going to be getting off about 2 hours later but I decided after visiting the location that I didn't really want to be leaving a building in the middle of nowhere after dark when no one e

The only person who doesn't have total confidence in you is...you. Wish I could take credit for all that you and your brother are, but the truth is that after a certain point, you made all your own choices. I love you.

Here here, Michelle! Cassie, if they are keeping your contact info on file and calling you back even after you've turned them down for a full-time gig, they must have every confidence in your ability. As an office administrator, if we don't like a temp's work, we don't ask for them back.
