SWMBO is returning to work. From conception to execution has taken no longer than three weeks. When she makes her mind up she doesn’t hang around.
It all started innocently enough, one day at work middle-management-Mikey casually (and I thought half jokingly) inquired if Mrs Todd was looking for a job. I replied that she was too busy spending my money to earn any of her own but that I would ask anyway. As an aside I should mention that my corporate masters have me working for a client where Mrs Todd was working when we met (all of nine years ago now). So it’s not like she isn’t known around the office. Sometimes people even have good things to say about her.
I passed this inquiry onto herself and she replied that she would be interested. Which rather suprised me because previously she had said that she was never working in IT again.
To cut a long story short she wrote a CV, had a meeting with the afore mentioned middle management Mikey and before you know it cash money was being discussed. Then Mike had to have a bit of a sit down followed by a chat with the president of the Punters Club before the deal was finally done.
The last step was sorting out the ankle biters, because apparently its neglect if you leave them at home on their own between the hours of 9 and 5. Once more Lightning Todd was ahead of the game and had decided that we would be having a Nanny. Sadly my request that the selection criteria included Swedish and buxom was roundly rejected. but wouldn’t you know it we struck lucky and within a week a good candidate was signed up. She starts next Wednesday.
SWMBO starts work the week after and will be accompanying me on the Manly ferry two days a week. So the good news is that I’ll get some piece and quiet on my commute for three days a week.
