Airbrush Set

Yesterday was a public holiday and for that I am very thankful. It is nice to have the week broken up by a fairly random holiday, and it's been a little while since the last one. Unfortunately it will be a little while before the next one. Which is Christmas.

Tuesday was a hectic day at work. I was running pretty late in the afternoon, but I managed to pick up all of the children that I needed to. I almost forgot some cakes, but I had left them on the front seat of the car, so when I went to leave in the evening I saw them and was able to make sure that they got to their respective homes.

In the morning on Tuesday I found a beetle. It had some amazing colours. Very pretty. A deep blue, an azure I guess, with a vivd red pattern on it. It was very beautiful. I tried to take a photo of it, but I couldn't get it in focus. I took it with me up to the school, and when I was up there I gave it to the prep teacher. She was very excited, but then again Mrs Klonakis is very excitable. One of the mothers told me that it was a harlequin beetle, but after looking at a few pictures of harlequin beetles on the internet, I think that she is wrong. It certainly was amazing, and it brightened up my morning to no end.

I've recently had to make a decision about employing somebody. We have a vacancy at the centre currently, and we are using an agency as a replacement until Louise gets back. I received a phone call from a lady that I know, saying that she is looking for work. She has experience and all the necessary paperwork and stuff, the only thing is that she is a single mother with a child. The reason that she is leaving her current job is because they have cut her hours back. They have cut her hours back because she has been taking a lot of time off work to look after family issues. I hope that she doesn't need to take too much time off when she's working for us. Her parents get back from Italy next month, so hopefully they'll be able to help.

Anyways, time for work now. Again. I'm glad that it's Thursday. Thursdays can be tough, but I can pretty much do Fridays with my eyes closed.
