Employed!


I'm a working girl once again!  I was really not very hopeful about finding exactly what I wanted.  I thought for sure I was going to have to settle with a crappy part time job for even crappier pay.  BUT! I did find the perfect job!

It's at an insurance agency in Fenton, which is about 10 mins from the house and I'll be making $12 an hour which is about $3 more than I had hoped for.  Also, it's only 28 hours a week and I'll be able to drop Bailey off at school and pick her up so we won't have to pay for child care.  I had hoped I would find something in the insurance field again, but wasn't sure if I could find something local.  Marilyn found the help wanted ad in the Tri-County Times, something I would not have looked in.  I've been only looking online on craigslist or MI Talent Bank.

I start on Wednesday, the same day Bailey starts school.  I feel a little anxious about starting all this at the same time, but if I plan it out right it should work with minimum craziness.  *Fingers Crossed*  You should have seen Vince, he was so happy for me!  He took B and I out for dinner that same night.  I know he wanted me to find something that made me happy and was glad when I did.

Another cool thing about it is that I will probably be in contact with the people I worked with at Swett & Crawford.  I'll be in the commercial lines department which is the same type that Swett does.  I think it will be funny to be calling Kelly about business.

I guess I'll give post again next week and talk about how my crazy first day went.  *Does happy dance off the screen*
