Jobs

The right decision.

Back in January I was looking for a new job. I knew my time with my family was coming to an end around june and wanted to make sure I went straight from one job to another.
I had heard about a news anchor for global news who had triplets on my bday actually, which I felt was a sign. The thought of newborn triplets was very attractive to me. But they lived in Oakville and I had not heard from them directly, only thru a friend and after leaving my phone number a couple of times I stopped calling. I mean I can take a hint that they don't want to talk to me. So a very nice email was sent out by my boss to all her contacts.

I went for numerous interviews. My first one being with a family with four kids and two cats. Ppl said I was mad to go for it cos I am allergic to the cats and four kids is about two kids too many. LOL
I was getting quite unsettled as it was becoming clear to me that a family willing or able to provide me with a car was not going to happen. So I thought about it and decided to see if I took the car out of the package.. maybe that would make a differance. The T family then said I could take the vehicle I currently drive with me when I left. So it seemed things were falling into place. I immediately went to the first family I met with. (four kids two cats) and presented the new case. And so to cut a long story short here I am.

I have four kids in a chaotic, fun, challenging home. I am very happy. No regrets at all. So here I am settling in nicely. Forming a good relationship with the parents and kids. Then I bump into the friend of the news lady. 'oh jayne, we have been trying to find you. they lost your number. They want you to work for them' I was so shocked. Then someone else told me that a friend of theirs was moving into the area with a two year old and was expecting twins. Oh how great that would have been too. I thought it would unsettle me. I thought I would regret my hasty acceptance of this job. But no. I am very happy. What more could a person ask for?

It all makes me smile how things play out. I know I made the right decision. But it also made me feel good egowise, to know that there were other people out there that wanted me too. :o)
