The Big Brain Dumper of Doom
Holy crap.
So, the job is coming along fine. I'm still shadowing, but they are starting to give me responsibilities. They also plan to have me take over for the housing stuff when Paul starts his field hours for his masters. This means I'll be a semi-landlord for many of our clients. Not sure entirely how I feel about that, but it means I'll again have a smaller case load but different responsibilities. This sounds oddly familiar. At Fellowship house, I came on as just a counselor, but ended up as the intake coordinator. It was too much and I lost the job. I seriously hope thats not the case here. I don't think it will be as things are alot more relaxed and there's constant support and aid from one case worker to another. These things were a bit lacking at FSH. We even have this computer program, group wise, that allows us send certain scheduling events, like dropping off meds or picking up clients, to other counselors when our schedule is too packed. I've learned my lesson... I hope.
Only big down side right now is that I only get off Christmas day and New years day. My family is planning to have the big family gathers on friday... I might have to miss it!! *pout* Oh well.
Living Update: But the job is tiring. I come home ready for dinner, maybe a chore or tv show and then bed by 11 at the lastest. I have also found that living with people makes me less likely to go out. I mean, I come home to find 3-5 people at home nearly every day. I use to go to BBC nearly every day, but that was because no one was at home and I craved that social interaction. Now I just come home. Plus, I'm cooking alot more since I'm at home and there's people around. Financially that should be good, but I'm a bit nervous about the situation. Ryry has two jobs, but they never let her work. She's on the search for another job again. Tanner is still looking, despite being turned down numerous times. He does what he can around the apartment and during the day. Jonsey finally took his GRE and helps out where he can too. Last night I made it clear that it wouldn't take much for me to break down and gave the warning that I'm gonna need all the help I can get. The job is demanding and coming home after a bad day to find nothing done, two people who slept until 3pm, and very little financial support would end horribly for all parties. So, before that happens, I tried to make that clear. I think I made my point.
Last night, though, was awesome. Tanner's dad had tickets to Avenue Q but didn't have time to go. So Tanner and I went instead and made a night of it. Tried out Fire and Ice, which was tasty and fun. The grill chef was really friendly and chatted us up. The bar was filled with alot of seafood, which made me happy, and burgers too! The show was hilarious. Last time I was at BJCC they were still doing renovations and the final job looks very nice. I can't get some of the songs out of my head. hee hee
I'm sure there's more, but thats the stuff I need to get out of my head. Holidays coming. Nearly ready. Phew.
