New job and spring cleaning!

[kseenaa]

Interestingly enough, things are looking up. :-)

I got the job I wanted! WOHOO! OK, so I didn't dislike the school-library I was at, but... It's a school-library. I was to work as a school-librarian. Again. And it's a really REALLY active! With a lot of kids and a lot of activities and I don't even know what. A good thing of course! But geezes fuck, after working at that bad school? I just want a break from school-librarian work. :-P I am told constantly that I am great at it, and that's always nice to hear. Still though. :-P Please no more schools with crazy ass kids!!!

Instead I'll be working at a library a bit outside of town, in the in one of the small communities outside of town. I think it'll be great. I really do. I'll be the contact/school-librarian (still!) to the tiny schools out there on the countryside. Which will be a lot more fun, I think, then working with the schools here. Small tiny classes 10-15 kids (instead of 20-25 kids) and kids that really REALLY want to meet the librarian when you visit (instead of disinterested troubled kids in town, not all of them, but still). AND once a week I'll be librarian in charge of the library-buss... YES! HOW COOL AIN'T THAT! Just me and a driver and a buss filled with books. I am really looking forward to this, to be honest. *lol*

And today... Oh, today was great as well. I've contacted a cleaning company some time ago and asked them to come do a serious spring cleaning of doom in our apartment. Of course, I'll have to pay them for it. But man. It was NEEDED! And today... Today they were here. :-D It took 2 girls (one older one younger) 5 hours approximately to go over the whole apartment. They only took shelves we've emptied, but that was fine. What I was the most interested in was the ceilings and the walls of the rooms. To get them cleaned. ESPECIALLY in the bathroom! To be quite honest, the walls in our bathroom was... quite disgusting I'm ashamed to say. And the windows got cleaned and the curtains that I've ordered, almost all of them were done, so they are up and it's just... so damn nice here now. I am BEYOND pleased!

While they were cleaning the place we went to my MIL and got dinner and Alexandra got to play with all the toys that she's bought for Alexandra to have there while Alexandra visits. And my MIL is quite awesome, I have to say. She was not just hinting at wanting Alexandra to spend a night there again, she was downright doing the sledgehammer of hints with that. X-D So we'll make sure to make plans for that in the near future. Alexandra loves sleep overs at grandma, and we get a break, so all wins!

Of course, peting73 had to grumble over the fact I got a cleaning company here. Not for there reason you might think though. No, he kept saying I expected to much and would get disappointed. OK? What I wanted most was our bathroom to get a good once over. And it did. Our windows sparkle. And the rest? Even if I paid for it? Bonus. So he can just shut it. *grump*

At least we've now sorted our DVD/Blueray collection, which is good. All cartoon movies / kiddie movies is at a special place now, so whenever Alexandra wants to watch any of her favorites, they'll be easy to find. :-)

All in all, I am VERY pleased with the experience and might do it again. Spring-cleaning is a pain in the ass to do yourself anyway, isn't it? ;-)

Congrats on the new job!! :))

And spring cleaning (or tidying up/cleaning in general) is overdue here too. If I wasn't so lazy... :p

Just been catching up with your news. I'm glad that your leg is so much better and that you got the job you wanted.

Whizzing around the countryside in a bus full of books does sound fun.

And yay! for clean bathrooms.

im a big fan of getting cleaners. REALLY big. when i babysat jeremys cat and it shit everywhere (it would rub its butt on the walls and it liked to shit in the tub) i got a professional cleaner after that just because... i trusted them more and i wanted to know it was REALLY clean. i might do it again this spring because i just don't want to and i don't have time. zach grumbles about it also though.

also did you get my comment on your last post! do those dates work for you? thursday may 7th or friday may 8th and definitely saturday may 9th? unfortunately my flight leaves super early sunday morning, but if any other dates work for you too tell me and we'll shift things round a little! sas and i are booking hotels/hostels tomorrow so just let me know before then if you can =)
