New Jobs

It's been a while.  let's start with a story.

Once upon a time there was a girl named Sarah.  She loved all of the jobs she's had working with kids.  She was really excited to start a new job working with pre-schoolers that really need her.  So excited she set her alarm for super early so she would be early and be able to have her face bright and shining when it was time to start.  

Monday morning, the first day of her new job, Sarah woke up with a start and quickly realized her cell phone, which was also her alarm clock, had died during the night.  Frantically, she flipped open her computer to see that she was supposed to be at her new exciting job twenty minutes ago.  It's a forty minute drive.

Sarah called in to tell them what happened and rushed out the door.  She arrived finally and got to work.  Things went smoothly until she started getting cramps.  "No big deal" she thought.  "I'll make it til lunch."  So she tried to ignore it and did her best to be smiley for her kids.  While the kids were painting, she began to feel lightheaded.  Her vision blurred and she started sweating.  She then got the sudden urge from her body to be in a bathroom.  After a few not so fun moments in there, she went to her boss to tell him what happened.  He suggested water.  She returned to the bathroom and further emptied her stomach.  

Sarah was then given the ok to sit down away form the children for a while and eat some crackers.  Finally, her stomach decided to calm down and let her finish out her day.  Color returned to her face and the sweat stopped, but she was now exhausted and starving from all her bathroom activities.

Hopefully day two she will be able to prove to be the reliable person she has been at every other place of employment.
