Work work work

So... I got a job. Yeah, it was just as much a surprise to us, since I wasn't even looking. I got an email last week from a transcribing company that I had applied to a year ago. They use the same software I have a license in and they do remote work, which is why I applied for them--We had just moved to Michigan and I thought, I'll do some typing while I'm huge and pregnant and don't have anything to do all day.

Since I never heard a response, I had completely forgotten about them until this email came. It was the ideal hire--no stress, no pressure and fast. By the end of the next day, I had been interviewed and was hired. Go figure, when I'm actually looking for a job it takes months of rejection, but when I'm not searching, something falls in my lap. Isn't that how life is...

What I do is very similar to what I did as a transcriber in Provo, except instead of going to classes with the students, I listen in from home via Skype. It's great, and so far I've been able to get a schedule that fits nicely with Henry's naps. Just an hour or two a day while he's sleeping. And I get to listen to college classes like British literature, liberal arts, research methods... without having to worry about the homework.

We decided to try it out for awhile, and as long as it doesn't interfere with my ability to tend to Henry, it's a great setup. It's a great blessing, and I think it will be good for me to do something that's all mine. And now I will end with a cute picture of me and Henry.
