Joy!

Megan has a job!  She was hired on her very first interview!  The job is with Kelly Services, a temp agency designed to provide skilled workers for temporary positions in the work world--except that Meg's job is in-house.  In other words, she won't be farmed out to other places; she will be trained to be part of the administration of the place.  Temp-to-hire.  She was tested last week and came out as "expert user" on most of the tests:  Word, Excel, Access, and typing skills.  She is excited from the standpoint that the job is right here in Plainfield--no commute required.  And THEY are excited, for the same reason.  (Apparently, a number of their employees drive a distance.)  She starts on Wednesday.  There is room for advancement and benefits.  Right now, coming from being a stay-at-home-mom to part of the work force, she has to start out slowly.  I'm excited for her!

In the meantime, Meg has found a temporary child care deal for Robin and Ryan.  She isn't all that impressed and will continue to look, but at least there is a place for them to go on Wednesday until she can find something better.  Child care ain't cheap!  Count on $600-800 a month.  Geez!!  If I could retire, I could help, but right now we are living as we can.  Robin will most likely start Kindergarten this next fall.  (How did this happen???) 

Time for bed.  Had radio club tonight...and am pooped.  The week just started!
