Really and truly 40 hours a week, really super nice. I did have a couple busy weeks personally over the last month so it was essential. Tonight I found myself staying a little late because I could not decide what to make for dinner and have been eating out too much. So I finished up some dull paperwork until I was inspired to make grilled cheese. (not doing the best with wanting to eat lately) Working on the eating but also enjoying having lost about 7 lbs since changing jobs. I have moments where now I wonder what to do with my time.
I do have a few things to work on at this job but overall I am having a really good experience and making a good impression. I get more kid interaction and the paperwork side is so clearly spelled out that it is soothing again (I actually really like some paperwork). The ideas I am putting in are well received. I have a pretty good team, my assistant needs some work but we had a good check in yesterday where our supervisor brought up the difficult things. What is a really big deal is that I pretty much know the names of about 130 kids! That includes 3 Brody's and 3 Wyatts, a couple Harpers and Hazels. I also had 2 families come to Maker Faire because I advertised it.
The very minimal information I have on my former job is that 2 more long term, strong people left the job. I only know that because I did a custom order of a baby Halloween costume hat. It was a Dobby hat (from Harry Potter).
