ROTFLMAO. As I pondered on a Friday last week how magnaminous I should be in warnings, notice and severence, Nanny was squirreling away her belongings so when she left that night, I wouldn't notice them gone. Yep. Didn't show for work Monday and same for the rest of the week. That's when I noticed the macrame basket and moisturizer gone. She called Thursday to say, "Maybe you should get someone new" (Um...you THINK so?)
Water under the bridge; no hard feelings. She didn't like being a Nanny and maybe she was simply too chicken to give advance notice. (Though maybe she was looking to get canned and collect unemployment). Some notice would have been nice as it was a difficult week ("Mom? Help!") but I'm $500 richer and have a new person that started today.
(Actually, I had her start yesterday and I went to see Cold Mountain - my first movie in over 1 1/2 years!).
