Just Thursday!

So..since you all put up with me being so late last week..I thought I should make it up to you this week by posting really early & hosting a giveaway [it's my birthday..I guess I'm feeling generous :]!  

The most link ups I have had are 13, so I have decided that if I can get more than 15 people to link up this week, I'll put all your names into a drawing for a prize.

What will the prize be you ask?  Great question!  I'll give away 1 gift card for the value of link up [17 link ups=$17..23 link ups=$23] & the gift card is to wherever the winner chooses!

Outside my window.. it's going to be mid 80's - perfect [well except for the humidity that is]!! 

The time is.. 6:13 am

Today I feel.. sad..it's my last day with the kiddos.

I am thinking.. I have watched these kids nearly 100 days..but it seems like so much longer when I think about the bond we now share.

At the moment, I am thankful.. for the opportunity to spend the last 9 months with these kids..they have taught me so much!

I am going.. to start my new job Monday!

I am wearing.. comfy clothes on a Thursday for the last time!

I wish.. I could say I wasn't nervous about my new job

I am reading.. If you have to cry go outside by Kelly Cutrone

I am working on.. birthday thank yous!

I am hoping.. the transition process goes well!

I am hearing.. Murdock & the Mr snoring!

I bet you didn't know.. We're having dinner with my Grandpa [great uncle] Keith, Aunt Sharon, and Cousin Sheri tonight!! I'm so excited..they're from Oregon and we don't get to see them much anymore! :(  

One of my favorite.. friends will be gone for 22 months starting this week..

My weekend plans include.. [thursday] dinner with my family from Oregon [friday] the hub's sister and family are spending the night [saturday] we DJ a wedding, maybe a housewarming party [sunday] relax with Murdocks & the hubs!

job[s]

I'm not quite sure where to even start with this post.  If you don't really care about me getting a job you should probably just skip this post because it's going to get complicated!  :)

Mon.7.26.10 - I receive a call from WF to schedule a phone interview.

Tues.7.27.10 - I do a phone interview with WF in the afternoon and schedule a face to face interview.

Thurs.7.29.10 - Have interview with WF that goes very well.

- Meet Adam at a local bar for a couple cocktails after my interview & run into an old friend of Adam's that is head of HR at Hospital M.  Talks to me for a bit and tell her that my interview went well and they are calling me in the morning to advance but I really don't know that it's exactly what I want.  She says she is sure she could get me something..she is off on Friday but will call me Monday.

Fri.7.30.10 - HR at WF calls to offer me the job at 8 am.

- I call WF back at 4pm and leave a message.

Mon.8.2.10 - Hospital M emails to set up an interview for that afternoon[!!]

- WF calls again to officially offer me the position.  I ask to have until Wednesday to make my decision and she says she can only gave me until Tuesday at noon.  So ok whatever.

- Interview with HR and boss at Hospital M [goes great]

Tues.8.3.10 - Call WF at noon and except the offer [still haven't heard from Hospital M and need to cover my booty]

- At 2pm receive an email saying I GOT THE JOB AT HOSPITAL M!!!  :)

Wed.8.4.10 - Call WF to cancel the job [as you can imagine..she is a beast!]

- Go to Hospital M to fill out paperwork, do health screen, get TB shot, and drug test.

Tomorrow - Go to Hospital M to read my TB test & get security badge for orientation.

Fri.8.20.10 - My last day as a nanny :(

Mon.8.23.10 - My first day [orientation] with Hospital M :)

How I made my decision..

             WF         HosM

Pay          x          x+2

Hours        9-6        Any 8 I want [I'm choosing 7-3:30]

Flexibility  Minimal    Extremly

Drive        48mi daily 24mi daily

Benefits     Okay       Awesome

*I will always refer to my new job as Hospital M.  I will be an Administrative Secretary scheduling meetings [and everything that goes with it] for the 900 doctors and med students/rotators at the hospital as well as other common office duties.  I could not be more thrilled!!  My soon to be boss seems extremely flexible and knowledgeable.  I feel so blessed to get this opportunity!!  [Adam said he doesn't think I was this happy at our wedding..kidding of course...I think!]
