I Love My Job (pt. 2)

Some months ago, I wrote an entry describing why I love my job at Northwest. Well, recent events have caused me to again be thankful for such a wonderful job. Last week, my supervisor came and asked about summer plans and who was going to help me with my kids until my last day, May 31st. I told her about my ex not coming though (Confessions of a Single Mother, pt. 2) and she told me it would be okay to bring them with me on Thursday and Friday (the 24th and 25th). They could play on the computers, read books and watch movies in the viewing room. Afterall, the library will be closed until the start of summer school on the 30th and they wouldn't disturb anyone. Today, they got out at 12:00, so I met them at home and took them with me and LB had a blast on the computer. I practically had to pry him out of the chair. I promised tomorrow would be much of the same, so I'm sure he will be too excited to sleep tonight.

The kindness and generosity offered by my coworkers has made the transition to a new job, town and lifestyle so much easier. I share my triumphs and trials with them and they always support and understand me. Their words of encouragement have made such a difference. Again, I feel so fortunate and blessed to be surrounded by such wonderful folks.

Over the weekend, I had an interesting conversation with a younger cousin. She is from Springfield, Illinois and attends Tennessee State University in Nashville. She said when she finishes school she wants to stay in the South. In fact, she said Nashville is as far North as she wants to be. She said people in the South are different, in a good way. I tend to agree.

Thank you, my dear coworkers for all you are and all you do!
