Bye Bye Babies

My assignment with the 12-year olds at the not-for-profit agency is over. They make assignments based on upcoming events and for me to continue I would have to commit to a 6-week period. I can't do it. Maybe I'll be sorry but I think not. It does not give me any time to pursue employment that I am actually able and willing to do.

So, it's back to the temp agency for my next assignment. There's no guarantee that they'll have one. If they do, there's no guarantee it will be any better than this one although I did ask them to refrain from telephone sales. We shall see.

I might even miss some of my little (and big) coworkers for a minute. At least I have my coffee mug for a souvenir.

The Must Call List

Remember when we all signed up for the "Do Not Call" list? Anything to stop those pesky telemarketing calls. For the most part, it worked.

We all have a "Must Call" list. It may be to share great joy; it might be a potential tragedy. It might not be an actual phone call -- maybe it's an email or some other form of communication. But, it's a must do.

There's comfort in sharing, whether it's joy or grief.
