a little about my new job

catastrophySuffice it to say, I'm loving it, but my clothes are not. The babies that were skeptical about me now accept bottles from me and have been known to throw a smile and a giggle my way---even if they still cry when Ms Toni or Ms Lynn leaves the room. We have 7 babies in our room, from 9 weeks up to 11 months---for the non-baby savvy, that means we have itty bitty babies all the way up to babies who are on the verge of walking. 5 boys and 2 girls.
For my job, we have a strict dress code (unless it's spirit day) of red, black, white or a combo thereof for tops, and no tshirts. Pants can be black or khaki, and shorts are ok as long as they are fingertip length. Fridays I can wear jeans and the appropriate Goddard tshirt. Even with jeans, this means I have 3 pants and 1 pair of shorts, which makes 4 pants for 5 days. Since I work in an environment where puke, drool, snot, pee and poo are job hazards...I'm fortunate to get through the day unscathed. Shirts are a little easier, thanks to a handful of carefully selected shirts from Goodwill. (4 for $15 or so? It took 2 hours of hunting through racks, but was more in my budget than new shirts) My shirts almost never survive the day, and usually get at least 2 fluids from multiple babies---I don't even want to know what my shirt would look like under a black light at 5pm. O_O
I just discovered that my new career field gives me a shot at getting one of my student loans canceled or at least deferred. I just my new boss, Michelle, to fill out the employer part of the paper work today, and it would be so awesome if I could reclaim $70/month for my budget. (I worked up a modest budget, and I just barely can't afford it. SAD.)
Anything else you wanna know about my new job?
