New job, same district

Well, hey, hey! I have a new job. I have given my resignation to the school where I have been the secretary for the past 2 1/2 years. I’ve been with the local school district for five years, so I will get to keep my seniority, just change locations.

I accepted the position of Financial Technician for the business office, giving up my summers, my spring breaks, my two week winter breaks and all those other no-school holidays.

The kids are all secondary or in college, do I need more time off at the expensive point in my life or more $$$ to cover the college, the car insurance, the cell phones, the gas, etc.? Yep, money wins every time.

I’ve very exited with the details of my new position, having always liked to work in accounting. I know everyone at the district office and so I feel comfortable and not nervous as one would with a new job not knowing anyone.

K will get her wish as well, since A will be driving to the local community college to take classes in the morning, then dash off to the high school to take a few AP classes in the afternoon, I will be able to take K to school and drop her off (until she gets her license) and A will be able to bring her home.

No more “bus” for K.

I have hardly knit a stitch in the past few days as with working and the in-laws visiting from Nebraska, it’s been a whorlwind of excitement.

I was asked yesterday if I was going to be putting a knitted entry into the local fair as I usually do. Hmmm, I thought I wouldn’t make it, but…I have several items I have created this year that I have yet to actually wear and will enter those in. The CeCe cardigan was my goal, but time has not allowed me to get very far on it, esp. with the fair in a few weeks.

I may get a few moments of knitting today.
