Finally, some good news!!!
Yeah, I've been MIA from LJ again, but it's just I don't really like to post when I don't have anything good to write about. I'd rather forget bad times instead of preserving them for the future, because I hate wallowing in self pity.
So, a quick look into the not-so-good stuff first:
1.- I ended the replacement job at FONASA in early August. And they STILL haven't paid me.
-_-; OK, yeah, they warned me the check could take a while to arrive but this is just ridiculous.
2.- I applied for just another job in the School of Journalism where I devoted so many years of my life and was, again, rejected on not-so-clear bases. Really, really, I'm starting to think that somebody hates me there. *sigh*
3.- My dear, my precious cat Mali died a couple of weeks ago after giving birth to 5 kittens who also died. I'm still heartbroken. My girl was a member of my family and I loved her as such. Only people who had loved an animal friend can understand this kind of deep pain. Hiro, my remaining cat, was really depressed too the first week. Now he's doing better but he's glued to my heels all the time. He must feel so lonely, my poor boy.
And now, the good news. Finally, finally, thanks God, I've found a job!!!!! It's in the Management Department of my university, specifically working in the Educational Accreditation area, which deals with all the accreditation and re-accreditation process of all the careers.
And it's precisely the job I've been praying for.
First of all, it's in my same university. So that means I get to see familiar places, familiar faces and work with familiar processes (sp?) which is all very important for me.
Second, it's a fairly well paid part-time job, something I really wanted because it allows me to keep sharing quality time with my daughter. For now, I'm working three days a week: mondays, wednesdays (these are the same days I have my classes, and I'm at the same campus, so when I end my job here, I can go straight to the School of Journalism) and fridays.
Third... and OH SO COOL. Carolina, my boss, told me not to worry about working hours and such, because here we're working with goals. She really doesn't care the time I arrive or the time I leave, or even if I work here or at home. She only needs the results.
Fourth, since the university closes in February, that means I still have a whole full month of summer vacations, just like I'm used to!!! YAY!!! *dances*. Well, I just hope they'll be needing me again in March... Carolina says so, but if this difficult time has taught me something, it's not to count the chickens before they hatch.
So, I'm really happy and in good spirits right now. Perhaps after almost a year of darkness, I'll be climbing to the light again?
