Payment

Ever since Celie was born, I have really struggled with going back to work or not. I believe that there are pros and cons to each situation.

However, since moving to the Cleveland area, there are a lot more opportunities for me than in Michigan or even possibly in CT. So, I have been applying to those jobs that would interest me the most - mostly meeting/event planning positions. I have applied to may be 5 different companies. One company sent me a follow up questionnaire. I filled it out - but what do you say when it asks what your current title is? What is your current compensation? Do you tell the truth or embellish? I chose to tell the truth. I am the Manager of the Ostroski Household.

But the compensation question threw me. Then I decided to be truthful.

I am compensated by giggles and smiles.

After writing that, I realized what a great way to be paid.

I made it through the recruiter interview and she was going to pass me along to the hiring manager. I haven't heard anything.

But that is o.k. Because I think being paid in giggles and smiles just might be the best after all.
