My job, aka "work"

Don't know if I have mentioned this much before (at least not on my blog because I am lame and just don't blog that often) but I love my job. I continue to grow in my love for it because the friendships that I have established just continue to get stronger. I am assisting my best friend (and roommate), which in itself rocks (cause I love the girl to death) and the 3 or 4 other good friends I have at work have become so dear to me within the past several months, that it pulls on my heart strings at the thought of one of them leaving. Today my friend Misty was talking about how she will not be able to afford to work at Sunshine if she were to get pregnant and have a baby. She really likes working at Sunshine (even though apparently there are people who think she is incompetent and are constantly black-balling her...lame-o) but she has been thinking lately about her future and her possible baby in the not-so-distant future, and how she will not be able to afford to take the best care of her baby without a larger salary. I will admit, it has been incredibly difficult for me, a single, not planning on getting pregnant woman working for the wage I am. It is such a blessing that my parents have offered to help me out as much as they can as I continue to look for a second job.
I never could've imagined having a job where there is as much comradery as there is at Sunshine. I am so blessed to have a job, especially one that I love as much as I do. :)
Even on crazy days like today where I was on edge with everything; the not paying attention, not listening, noise level, whining, fighting, potty accidents, injuries, etc., I still can't wait to return the next day. That may be a result of the fact that I am usually bored out of my mind living completely by myself without any TV when I don't have plans with anybody. My friend Jenn said she is now on a mission to help me find someone. I sure hope she is successful with her mission, because honestly, I don't want to be alone for the rest of my life. I don't want to be alone for good when my roomie gets married in August. But yes. The highlight of my life currently is 17 Bears and 24 co-workers.

I'm glad you like your job. I too get anxious about my co-workers ever leaving me!
