Started my new job at Dillard's today...

Yay! Health benefits and a 401K AND I only have to work 21 hours a week so I can stay at school. I would *really* miss my kids (except Tyler; his parole officer said “the next time” he does something-like kill someone!!-they’ll remove him from the classroom permanently

health benefits! 401k! ibuprofen! wait...that's not as good. but...job! with benefits! weee!

Yeah, I'm stoked. Couldn't go to school today, though, as bad back is worse. I've tried heat, then ice, now back to heat. Anyone out there with a sure-fire cure? I work an 8-hour day again tomorrow loading and unloading. Maybe they'll let me do jewelry or something relatively light-weight instead of hauling around blenders, down comforters and place-settings for 12.

Sorry the new job is hurting your back. But congrats, nonetheless!! :woo

>>>Libby who discovers that people don’t really like it when you tell them the barebones, unvarnished, no-holds barred truth. Anyone find THAT one ironic?<<<
Sadly so.....:sigh

Thanks! If you're thinking of buying stock in Ibuprofen, now would be the time. LOL

At least Libby's friends realized she didn't *mean* any harm. I guess eight-years olds can accept reality more easily than adults. :\

And that's why I work much better with children than the adults I have to "deal with." Children are far more open-minded and forgiving.

Exactly! And because they DO tend to tell it like it is, there are none of the stupid games we grown-ups play to save face.
