--- Quote from: Penthesilea on May 16, 2013, 11:31:00 am ---Sooooo, I've kinda big news. Big to me, anyway. After 17 (:o!!!) years of being a stay at home mom, I'm gonna go back on the job!
Believe it or not, my employer is still my employer as I've been furloughed for the time. We moved away from Heidelberg since then, so my commute to work will be about an hour in each direction. Oh well, when Jack has been commuting four hours a day, I will take two in a stride. ;D
I plan to work for three days a week, maybe 3 X 6 hours or 8 + 6 + 6, or something like that. I'll have to see what they have to offer. But I don't want to do a full work week.
Since Oliver will start a new school at the end of August I want to be at home for the first weeks, until he's settled in. Then in October we'll be on our second family vacation. So I decided November will be a good time to go back to paid work.
I still have the whole, long summer for me to enjoy, but also look forward to starting work in the fall. :)

Whoo-hooo, Chrissi!!
That's great news!
And it'll be a major change for you, having been at home for so many years.
But I'm sure you'll settle in fairly quick, and feel good about earning your own money again.
Now, working three days a week sounds like a dream to me! Wish I could do that! 8)

And as for reviving this thread as a general chat thread, it's a great idea.
I think we need a thread like that, without any specific topic.
Those headlines are hilarious, Chuck! :laugh:

I thought they were great, Sonja! So funny!
and you're right! An no topic thread is perfect for just chit-chat and funny stuff.
You remember last time we were together, the big "obsession" was Swedish Chef and "bork bork bork", well, this time Paul and I were laughing over "Er Mer Gerd Gerl" (Oh My God girl).
She's an "odd looking" girl with a surprised/excited look on her face, and everyone has been making her excited about different things, and having her talk in some strange accent.
here are some examples.
"Oh My God, gotta catch 'em all!" A reference to the pokeman craze.

"Oh My God, Brainfreeze!"
