I took a shot at my pride and picked up the phone one afternoon and called the board president. I told her that I was still job hunting and I know that their director just quit, stepped down really, she's now my assistant. The board was a little hesitant to bring me back just because I had quit once already (now.. if I quit, others have quit before me, and this one just quit you would think that people would start realizing what a stressful job this is!) which they were completely entitled to. It was a big leap of faith for them hiring me back because I had quit AND I gave them a piece of my mind when I pulled Korbyn out a month ago, but they also knew I know what I'm doing ;)
Last Tuesday was my first day back and you know the constant emotion I feel? Excited! I'm so surprised at how much I love this job. I think it took me leaving to realize that I loved it this much. Now of course any job is not 100% loveable at all times, this one definitely has it's down sides, especially right now. They center is in a lot of trouble with state licensing right now, so I'm having to come in to A LOT. But I can honestly say I enjoy waking up and getting to work at 7 and not leaving until 6, that sounds crazy right?! Thankfully the board agreed to my offer of paying me a salary instead of hourly, although right now I would kill to have the overtime I would be on if hourly. But I think it's fair on both sides. I'm putting a lot of hours in right now but that's because I have to with everything that's going on with state. And eventually I won't have to work those crazy hours but I'll still be getting paid. For instance, I'm off today yet all I've done is work! And the free child care doesn't hurt either ;)
We'll see how it goes, as of now I'm in it for the long haul. But I can already feel a difference in my body at how stressed I'm getting. And it's not all stress, it's just the constant gear turning in my head that never stops!
