7 Digits & 10 Years

Last week Thursday was the first day of my 10th year working as a Speech and Language Therapist in the schools. I now am in the same school working in the same program for the second year in a row. Amazing! Although I haven't moved buildings or programs, I have moved rooms. I am out of the back corner of the library, and up in the front by the offices. My own entry way! This is the most convenient and beautiful space I have ever had at work. It only took 10 years!!!

With the major construction that occurred over the summer came phone, computer, and technology improvements. The phone system acts computer-like! And I have a direct number - only to be used by important people like my husband and sitter. Or my Dad, who very sweetly called me on my first day!

Ironically, these 7 digits are strangely similar to my personal phone number from my first apartment in Glen Ellyn 10 years ago! This fact was highlighted by Eric and sadly not remembered by me. But back then he called that number much more than I did.

So let's pretend my phone number back then was
434-2284

My pretend new work phone number this year is
434-4428!
