Those of you who read my last post may have guessed that my old boss called & offered me a part time job. Apparently, they have not been happy with the way marketing has been handled since I left. I will only be taking on the part of the job that I truly enjoy though, which is creating proposals. I will not have to do a lot of research or mingling.
Today was my first day back, I guess. I had a telephone conference with several people in the office to go over our roles. To prepare for the call, I put a movie on for Lexi. I knew I needed a little quiet time and that would be the best way. About 10 minutes into it, she started screaming her head off (in a non-hurt way). I had to ask them to give me a minute and let me call them back. Apparently, in my haste, I had forgotten to take her to the potty and she had an accident. Oops. I'll add that to the check list.
Fortunately, they love kids and I have worked for them for 5 years, so it wasn’t embarrassing. Can you imagine starting off a new job like that? Of course, I didn’t mention the reason I had to call them back. However, I did let them know that they will have better luck getting more of my attention in the afternoon when she is napping/enjoying quiet time. That is when I plan to do the bulk of the work. Hmm...planning that is the thing that used to work before I had 2 kids.
Let the games begin.
