New Job

I HAVE A NEW JOB!!!!! Obviously, I'm a little excited. I got notified today that they want to hire me to be the new Information & Assistance Specialist/Case Aide at the local Senior Information and Assistance office. Someone asked me what the best thing about the new job is and I had to honestly say that it isn't the job I have now. I have been here for 5.5 years and I am so ready for something else. I wanted out of social services completely for a long time but I finally decided that I've been running from taking care of people for most of my adult life and yet I keep ending up in those situations so maybe I need to embrace it before I can move on. I do like interacting with people and getting people the help they need so I think it will be a fulfilling job. I should start in a couple of weeks. I'm so excited, I've been grinning madly all day and randomly jumping up and down.

Hello...It's Been a While!

So, I think I got a little bored (or boring?) and had pretty much ignored my own blog while doing a daily check in with all the ones I follow and getting cranky when random people that I don't know didn't bother to update in a timely fashion. Hmmm...I don't think anyone is obsessively checking my blog every day but who knows, it could happen. And I'd hate to disappoint! Also sometime back in February I announced that I was changing my life, workwise at any rate. So far, no change. Still doing the same boring thing with the same sucky boss. I was really tempted to quit and go to work at a local coffee shop where two of my sisters work (and the 3rd sister worked when she was in town) but I decided that just because it would be better than my worst day here didn't actually mean it was the right decision for me. Plus it would be less hours and way less money and honestly I just couldn't afford to do it. I applied for a job with Juvenile Services at the courthouse and was VERY sure I would get the position. Consequently when I got the reject letter I was VERY distraught. I cried for a couple of days and decided that I would just not apply for anything ever. Hah, hah. That lasted a month or so. I have an interview on Friday for a job...sort of in the same line of work. So far I don't have any emotions into to. I'm not sure I really want to continue working with old people so I don't feel wed to wanting this job. At the same time it would be a change and I wouldn't be at the same place I've been for 5.5 years. So if I get it great and if I don't get it that's ok too.
