That Makes 2 This Week!

I got a call from my boss today - about the email I wrote him yesterday concerning moving to a day shift position. At first, I was a little freaked out because it was him and the HR lady calling. I thought "Oh god, I'm losing my job. Shit."

Then, "We were just calling because we wanted to clarify a couple things - well really only one but, if we were unable to find you a position during day shift, would you still be able to work nights?"

Me: "Of course! I'm only asking because my peace of mind would be easier if I worked days, and because I don't want to have to find some one else to watch my daughter at night"

My Boss: "Ok, well - we think that you could do great things for the company in a day position, now we just need to find one that fits your capacity."

Me: "That is so awesome S****! Really! I had hoped that you wouldn't take anything in the email the wrong way. I am by no means looking to leave the company - in fact I truly enjoy working at The Company - I've learned so much there. But yeah, I'd love to move back to a day slot!"

Boss: "Ok, we'll keep you updated. But we are trying to find you something."

Me: "Thanks!"

Uhm, HELLS YEAH! Another victory! Make that 2 for this week, Thank-You-Very-Much!

Small Victories

Nothing much new.

We saw Monkey's donors sister Sunday. She was all excited to see the little one. She was so amazed that Monkey has manners. "Well of course she has manners - you don't think I'm just going to let her run around here and not say please, thank you, sir or ma'am - do you?" The reply was "Well, the other two don't (the other two being her donor's older children) - but then he doesn't have anything to do with raising Monkey, so I guess she'll turn out all right." And apparently my 16 month old is so well behaved that it's just "amazing! You tell her to do something, and she does it!" ( Well, yeah - I do have like THE angel baby)
One small victory for me! YES!

Still waiting on something from child support. I wish they'd send me something. Even if they just send some thing saying that they're not going to give me child support for some reason or another. That way I could stop hoping for what "could be..."

I finally found some one who can keep Monkey for me during the day for what I can afford - and I went to high school with her. She has two kids of her own, and she's a pretty awesome parent. I sent the email to my manager tonight asking about moving back to a day position - while also making it very clear that I don't want to leave the company and that I'll stay in my shift if need be, no sweat.

Here's hoping that I can be spared to go back to a day slot.....
