It was so hard to leave my current job today! I was really hoping that my supervisor would be there. ::sigh:: I figured she was off last weekend, so she'd be there this weekend. I really wanted to tell her in person that I got a new job and go over what I liked and didn't like with the company. It just makes the exit more personable. Kwim?

Anyways, I left her a short note, but I plan on writing to the director of the center that I worked at. I just think that some feedback would be nice if they are interested in retaining good workers. I was actually quite shocked when I told a lot of people today that I was going, how many of them themselves were looking for new jobs as well.

I mean it's a great place to work, but it had it's issues as well. I guess every job does. I loved what I did though. I enjoy working with people and even if it was on the phone, it was a good job.

I'm so excited to be getting back into social work. I really feel like a stranger to my kids because I'm gone at the hours with my current job. I look forward to the new hours! I'll be able to go in shortly after the kids get on the bus and I'll have more flexibility. I will be home in the evenings to help the kids with homework and have dinner with them as well as be with them all weekend. I feel like it'll be a much more family friendly job as well.

So far from what I've learned in the interview is that I'll be given three weeks vacation right off the bat. I'll have one sick day a month whether I'm sick, one of the kids or sick or if I need a mental break. I'll learn more when I meet with HR and the hiring manager on Monday. I'm pretty excited to get my feet back in the door of social work. And to work with kids! I'm so ecstatic!!

I'm really going to miss some of my coworkers at CMK though. There are some really great people there. ::sigh::

Well, I'm off to spend some time on the couch watching the tube, maybe sip some tea. I'm a little sleepy, but I think it's the zyrtec I took earlier. I think I need the kids dose. It works great, but I think the 10 mg is too much. (it's allergy meds). I think I'll get the 5mg and try that instead :)

I'll catch up with you all soon! Hugs and Love to you all my friends, and family!
