I have a job.
It is as a casual lunchtime supervisor, covering when the main lunchtime supervisor's are off sick.
One is currently off on long term sick so I have worked last week, this week and due to work all next week. They never mentioned that at the interview. Also is it just me, or do schools have a different meaning of casual?
When I accepted the job, I thought that's fine I can work 2-3 days (while someone is sick with a cold) and have a couple of days off.
The last time I worked was when I was pregnant with my eldest who is now 10 years old! I had wanted to return after her birth part time 2-3 days a week, but the school I was working at wanted me to work 5 days from 11:30am til 4pm (which inveriably was really 5 or 6 pm) then an hour stuck in traffic to get home, when exactly was I supposed to have time with my new baby? So I quit to start raising my family.
I work for an hour and a half each day, but it is a bit of a shock to the system, and I get back and sleep till it's time to go back and get the kids from school.
Still, I am enjoying it. I like working with the children and I know the other ladies we are all friendly, and are either currant or former mum's, I am still free to support the children and attend assemblies, sports days, performances and concerts etc. and help out with class trips if required.
And it's good excercise, walking back and forth to school and walking around the playground.
I got a job! I got a job! did I mention I got a job :-)
Gotta go and sleep now, I feel tired.
At least it's happy tired :-)
