Update for those following The Journey: Ive now completed my first temporary, paid assignment. Approximately 35 hours of sitting in front of a computer screen, cutting and pasting information from one place into a spreadsheet. Woo whoo. I was gainfully employed for a week. What I have learned from this experience: 1. It is possible to enroll your child in before and after school care with a weeks notice (please start, as I did, with a reputable program), although it is a bit costly; 2. It is possible for a ten-year-old little girl to change her entire schedule (arising an hour earlier, remaining in school for ten hours per day, finishing homework, and even putting together her own makeshift costume) with a weeks notice; 3. It is possible to sit in front of a computer screen for eight hours per day :-) ; 4. It is possible to go into a completely unknown industry, knowing not a single person, and provide a solid days labor; and, 5. It is possible to do all of the above with a song in your heart. I am very proud of Eilis for hanging tough this week. Not a single complaint. Heres hoping for another assignment in the near future. Or, a full-time permanent position. {{{HUGS}}} \tle
