I have been absent for a number of days, swamped with training every day and other such responsibilities, but I love it! I might be a little less cheerful after the next four days, haha, because I will be shadowing the 8-4 tomorrow, the 4-12 the next, and the mid Wed-8 Thurs. Then a day off (I think) and a barrage of shifts until the 15th!
After my extensive time of unemployment, it is a great feeling to be working again, although I am going to have to think of a new term, because I never think of spending time with children as "work." Contrary to immediate familial belief, I do love working, and it makes me feel so much more energetic and purposeful. I hope that this new position will be everything I imagined and more, since I have envisioned helping at a child shelter for a very long time.
The people I work with are very nice, and the kids'--from what I have been told--are a good bunch, although they are especially watchful of two of them. The bosses are a bit intimidating, but have been kind to me, and I hope it stays that way! By far, I believe Monday will be my busiest day because not only do I work, I also have to get the TB test, a doctor's physical, and then celebrate with my cousin and her boyfriend (it's her birthday). I am looking forward to it, though. What I am not looking forward to is the great deal of post-spring cleaning I have to do today...My room looks a fright, which I must say has been a sadly consistent thing with the crazy semester I just pulled through. I was busy focusing on my course-load and not so much where my things were ending up, I'm afraid. I might as well get started...I highly doubt the cleaning fairy is going to wave her wand on my behalf, although that would be very nice...

"Contrary to immediate familial belief, I do love working."
Hmm, interesting. Care to elaborate Kai?
My next comment will be a 'quotation' I wrote earlier this year, it seems pertinent to your career pursuits....

My parental unit and i aren't always in accord, and that is one of their many false beliefs about me *rolls eyes.*
I really like that quote! Great job, and definitely pertinent =]
Sad. I think your folks should read Kaiology 101 then, because I'm sure there are things there even THEY may not know about you. I found it very interesting.
Another question: what's your favourite word in the English language?

If you check my blog under your quotation you'll see you have a fan in Australia. =)
