JOB!

"Department of Revenue Child Care, how can I help you?" ... This is how I answer the phones at Bright Horizons when working in the office. And this is how I answered it today when the other line asked for Miss Tracey Tisckos. "Yes, she is here - may I ask who is calling?" (We ask this of all people because credit card companies like to harass Tracey and we screen for her!). "Of course! This is Bonnie from Memphis, TN at the Nonconnah Center..."

Well! I'll stop there to inform my readers that BONNIE is the director at the center I have been waiting to hear from in regards to a job...

FLASHBACK

I visited the Nonconnah center last April while waiting for Dustin to get off of work. It was LOVELY. Great playground ... Great rooms ... Great director! I wanted to work there then (but I was still too new to transfer and they rarely have openings. Tough luck, me!) .... .... .... Well, sometimes things ARE meant to be.

Two weeks ago the recruiter for the Memphis area called me. NONCONNAH was hiring... and they were interested in ME! THEN, I find out I've never been taken off the payroll here in Springfield (I can be a transfer!).

TODAY

Then today, Bonnie called the Springfield center (looking for me, as I had left my phone at Ava's). She called to tell me that I was going to be the newest member of the BH Family in Memphis, TN!

Of course, I have paperwork to fill out and fingerprinting to do ... but starting February 18th I will be the newest Three's teacher in Memphis TN BEST CHILDCARE PLACE (of 700!!!!). By "best" you ask? I mean ... BEST. NUMBER ONE. NOBODY IS BETTER.

I will work there.

I have a job.

I will not be a mooch!
