A World Turned Upside-Down

2/1/2017

Every time I look at the news, it seems the whole world is a bit crazy lately. Yet, for me personally, my world is also drastically different. Last month, after a lot of careful deliberation and many discussions, I left my job as a theatre teacher. I am now writing full-time, and am also taking care of my son full-time. 
New Boss
My new boss, pictured to the left, is very enthusiastic.
I enjoy working with him, but there are a few difficulties.

For starters, he really likes to throw his weight around. Once he gets on a roll, there's no stopping him. He also drops the ball a lot. I try to pick up the slack, and the ball, and everything else.

The new boss sleeps on the job, and even makes a mess in the office. He's lately got me confused with one of my fellow co-workers ("Mama") and can really throw a fit if we don't listen to his ideas, and sometimes even if we do. 

The best thing about my new job situation is inspiration itself. When the news seems too crazy, a few minutes of playtime make everything else seem far away. Besides, he's taught me the most important lesson in life: when everything else fails, try a nap.

I'm really happy for you. It seems like you've found the best job in the world. The job of taking care of your loved ones and seeing them everyday. Your new boss looks really adorable and cute. I really hope you take good care of him and have fun at the same time. Good luck to you and your family, I wish you guys the best!
