Buttering up the babysitting

So, there was a distinct "flatter the babysitter" atmosphere tonight. Not that this is a bad thing, of course. I like getting feedback about my work and postive feedback is great. The family has a member with a disability, so they've had a lot of help in the past. Apparently, the 4 yr old hasn't liked most/all of the previous help. But, he loves me - I was told he "counts down the days" until I come. Given that he laughs nearly the entire time I am there and happily drags me around to play, I tend to believe this. So, I am being paid very well, have had offers of old textbooks (nothing I can use, but the offer is very kind) and they want me to come on Labor day.

Now, the Labor Day thing poses a bit of a quandary. On one hand, I would really, really like to go home and probably will. On the other hand, they want me there and it pays double since it's a holiday. $16/hour plus tip is a pretty good chunk of money. And the flattery does count for something. I'm not sure it's enough to keep me for next semester, but I might be enticed to come back for Monday night.

Either way, I have to come home Monday evening. I have class at 8:00 am on Tuesday, so I can't possibly stay home all day Monday. Essentially, I would just move my departure time up from say 3:00pm to noon. This doesn't seem like a big deal, and for 60+ bucks, it's probably worth it. At least, I think it is. I told her I'd have a definate answer on Thursday. I shall mediatate on my answer in the meantime.

Oh, and my cadaver is female. And very short. That is all.
