Work It, Girl.

Tiny foot / Mikhail Palinchak
I love working with kids.
Best things about my new job:


Cute kids, including one little boy who knows all the words to "Bad Romance".

50 cent pop cans in the break room.

Working with my good friends

Making new good friends

MONEY.

Holding babies and thinking to yourself that one day, this little 2 month old person will be an adult. And he will have a job and kids and a personality. I mean, he can't even really hold his head up yet, but he's a person.

The Mexican housekeeping ladies in the break room who are always watching Telemundo.

Cute boys.

Playing Wii and owning the children, even though as the teacher you should probably be letting them win (generosity is for squares).

Wearing a nametag and feeling all official.

Making the screaming children stop crying...it's extremely gratifying, especially when nobody else has had success. Yeah, I'm self absorbed and competitive like that.

Did I mention the MONEY?

I love having a job. It's my first real one ever, and I'm so glad. Making well above minimum wage doing something I genuinely enjoy with people I like...I'm a happy camper.

love,
me.

P.S. Sorry if you think this post is lame, you try working a 5 and a half hour shift with tons of children. It tuckers you out.
