(no subject)

So one of the nanny agencies I am signed with? They came up with a family almost perfect for me. They live HERE. Which means that I could maybe stick around the summer for my godson to be born and get SPOILED ROTTEN by me. (I am so TORN, y'all. I so badly need money, and would like to try living somewhere that is NOT HERE, especially if it is near people I am dying to meet, but...the BABY. He is coming in July and how can I not be here for that? Of course, this is probably largely moot anyway because nobody has offered me a job.)


So naturally I was very excited and flailed a lot and sent them a very proper and enthusiastic and professional cover letter, targeting the concerns they had named in their listing, etc. etc.


And then I realised my internet had been lying to me about not connecting, so I had in fact sent them my very professional message, uh. Six times. *FACEPALM*


GOOD THINGS:

~Intelligent, good-looking boys who compliment me on my alliteration (literally, how cute is that?)

~Jeeves and I have achieved naptime detente! Also his mum and I have discussed expanding our possibilities for morning activities which is nice.

~Wooster is totally blissed out by his swing.

~I am writing about Shane and Brendon going to Disneyland with the Uries

~Maybe the nice family will forgive me? The nice thing about working for people privately is they are more likely to be forgiving of unprofessionalism like...well, like mine

i'm sure they'd be fine with a 'woops sorry! internet technical fail!'

hope all that works out.

I hope it works out for you -- I know how difficult it is to be away from new babies, even if they aren't your own.

BTW, it still feels me with special joy to see you referring to these kids as Jeeves and Wooster. Too few people even know that reference...

You call the kids Jeeves and Wooster, that's brilliant! XD

I'm sure they'll understand technical fail - you're there to care for the kids, not fix their wi-fi.

Good luck!

Sucks about the techno blip.

STAY FOR BABY! BABY WANTS TO MEET YOU!

Those are my two cents :)

Hopefully they will be understanding about crazy internet. I'm sure they know you didn't mean to spam them.

I hope the family loves you!
