Today was my first day back to work in seven months, since the dotcom job fired me for missing 1-3 days of work each month due to Endometriosis.

I am no longer working in the computer industry. THIS EXCITES ME TO NO END!!!

I’ve gone back to what I started out doing in life - what I went to school for -

I’m corrupting the minds of children aged 2 - 5.

Today went well because I was told by phone yesterday that I’d be on probation and could be sent home immediately if I wasn’t a good fit…

…and by lunchtime, they asked me if I could come back next week, and asked if I’d be interested in long-term employment.

The only issue now is the agency that sent me to the daycare. They didn’t tell the daycare that I was part-time. They didn’t tell the daycare that I have an illness which renders me bedridden each month. They didn’t fax a timecard to the daycare and I had to call them to do it. And the daycare assumed I’ll be a substitute teacher to start off, instead of a head teacher, like the agency promised. This means up to a $4/hr difference in pay and needs to be figured out ASAP, as it affects MY decision to stay on with the daycare because I cannot live on anything less than head teacher salary, full time or not.
So unless the agency gets the pay we agreed on and gets it to me in writing, and/or unless the daycare decides they love me so much that they’ll make me a head teacher on the spot, I will find myself in a quandry.

But right now, I am not stressed over it. I’m exhausted. I’m happy - kids make me happy. And I’m covered in dirt and sunblock and sweat. So it’s nice lovely protracted shower time!

And I have three days before I have to go back to work again.
