First Friday . . . in 4 years

Well today is the first Friday in 4 years that I have had to work. My thoughts, I don’t really like it!!
I was lucky enough 4 years ago, when Abby was born, to have a boss that allowed me to only work 4 days a week. That was wonderful, 4 day work week and a 3 day weekend. Now that I think about it, a 4 day weekend and a 3 day work week would have been even better. But, I digress.
My reason for having to work on Fridays; my new boss is trying to get me as many hours as possible. When I left the Alpharetta office, I was not guaranted 40 hours a week, so Mike’s thinking is that if I am here 5 days a week it is easier to work more hours. We did have a good talk yesterday and he assured me that it will be no time before I am up to 40 hours a week. In reality, I was spoiled for 4 years and any other job I took would have me working on Friday’s also. I just miss that time that I got to enjoy with the kids.
On a side note, I do enjoy my job here in Nashville and I am looking forward to learning new things. I did have an interview with Gaylord that went well, I believe. The recruiter called me back the next day to tell me that I was a strong candidate for the position and she would be getting back to me soon. They had an interview with another candidate on Wednesday, so I expect to hear something any day now. Then we will have to really sit down and figure out what will be best for the family. Until then, I’m enjoying it here and have been able to meet Marty for lunch and for a little shopping just about every day. I really love seeing them during the day!
