This is either the best thing ever....or the worst prank.
The amusing part is...since they are okay with me still working on the side...I might still end up with stories. Not as much...which honestly, I am okay with. :P
The heck with stories. I'm just so happy that you've found a good job. Congratulations!!!!

So they asked me tonight if I'd be okay with starting right off with 40 hours. Um, yes? Unfortunately this means working either 8-4, or 9-5. I brought up my earlier discussion about the fact I have to pick up the kids from school.
"Oh, pfoo. Do that, don't even fret. If you must, consider it a paid break...but really, do whatever you need. As long as you're getting work done, we are happy."
And then after that moment of me freaking out and thanking them
"You worry a lot....stop worrying. Seriously, you could sit and play video games on the clock, and as long as you complete your work quickly, professionally, and make the clients happy...we're good with that."
Oh. My God. I seriously just want to slap myself and see if I'm sleeping. This can't be real.
By popular request....I am now officially the Enemy of Normalcy.

I think this quote, from Gravekeeper, is very fitting for this situation:
That’s.....that’s reasonable. I….I don’t know what to say. It’s been so long since I’ve encountered reason that I’d almost forgotten it existed. Bless you my child, for you have shown me the light of basic cognitive function has not yet been completely sniffed from this dark world.
I would just like to point out that this type of employment is very abnormal, and as you are the Enemy of Normalcy, it seems you have finally found a way to use it to your advantage.
