Passover Update.
First of all, let me just say this:
I'M GETTING HIRED PERMANENTLY AT MY JOB!!!
I was offered the job yesterday and accepted it today. My boss is going to see about getting me released from the temp agency; she says I should be on the payroll by May 1.
They're not able to pay me as much as I'd hoped for, but they will pay me what I had previously decided was what I'd settle for. So that's good. And the boss said there is definitely chance for advancement once the economy gets better and the organization is able to grow a bit. She even said she hoped we could "work together for many years." No employer has ever said that to me before. I think I like it.
Plus, full-time benefits, which means independence for me at last. I don't like having to depend on someone else for health coverage or retirement; I'm just weird that way. I kind of need to be captain of my own ship. The future is uncertain and always in flux.
Passover started yesterday. It is said that all Jews should think of the Passover story and retell it as if they themselves had been freed from slavery, and Hunter seems to really take that personally. He takes special pride lately in regaling us with Passover factoids and telling us about how he was a slave in Egypt. "When I was two, I was a slave and I was fighting to be free. But now I'm free, 'cause Moses and God helped me."
Attended the temple seder with Sarah earlier tonight. She was the center of attention as always, walking as grandly as Greta Garbo in her handed-down white fluffy coat and belting out the Four Questions song on the rabbi's microphone like it was opening night on Broadway. *sighs, shakes head ruefully* That's Mommy's little diva.
I worry sometimes about her getting too full of herself, but then I realize I have no way to judge that because I grew up always feeling bad about myself. Maybe this is just what self-esteem looks like. *ponders*
