a series of hard choices
I'm ready to jump this sinking ship. I'm done with social work. The funding for my position dried up, my job was on the cutting block. Seemed like it was a done deal. I'll get laid off, file for unemployment, get a check, take a road trip.
Now I'm being tethered by policy. Because of seniority bullshit, my choices are either
1. Take an even more social service intensive position I don't want and move a single mom with 3 kids out of her job
or
2. Resign and collect no unemployment
I hear my mother's voice in my head telling me to take whatever they are offering because it means a steady paycheck even though it would make me feel miserable.
I hear my own less practical voice telling me to jump into the void and come what may. Rough economic times or not.
One of my life lessons is to live with intention and passion.
How can I do this and still meet my basic needs? Thats the question isn't it.
