She has provided meals, cleaned rooms, done laundry and many other tasks to help the boys any way she could. Overall, it has been a very gratifying experience for her. \u201cI\u2019ve really enjoyed this job,\u201d said Morningstar. \u201cOf course, it can be a grind, but I really do love these boys and would do anything for them. I think what makes any job special is who you work with, and these kids have been great to work with.\u201d As the boys have grown older, their needs have changed, however. They are not as picky with meals, they clean their own rooms, and have even started trying to do their own laundry. \u201cI knew my position was getting downsized,\u201d said Morningstar. \u201cSo, we sat down to talk about where the organization was headed, and if there was somewhere else I could fit in.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>The boys knew the business wasn\u2019t going to survive with Morningstar serving as a butler, but they knew there was somewhere else she was needed. \u201cWe talked for a while about other ways I may be able to help out and stay with the company,\u201d said Morningstar. \u201cWe realized they are going to so many sporting activities, sleepovers, meeting friends out, and so on. They could really use a chauffeur. So, I told them my qualifications, and we agreed that I should just transition over to being a chauffeur.\u201d Any growing pains in the transition have been small, and overall everyone is happy with the new position. \u201cIt has been great,\u201d said Morningstar. \u201cIt\u2019s more time with my great bosses, and really isn\u2019t a lot different from my last position. I\u2019m here to serve them. And if that\u2019s driving them, great. If it\u2019s laundry, fine. It doesn\u2019t matter. Just keeping this company moving in the right direction.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\t\t\t\t<![CDATA[]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[61],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-7090","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-issue-150","7":"entry"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7090","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7090"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7090\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7921,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7090\/revisions\/7921"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7090"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=7090"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=7090"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
