another day
Well, this day brings good news. I just got offered a job as the Volunteer Coordinator for a community centre. I think it's going to be a lot of hard work - they have over a thousand volunteers doing absolutely everything from tutoring to delivering meals. I have NO idea how I managed to score this job as I am grossly unqualified but I'll do my best.
The best part is that the pay is decent, not great, but decent. But they have great benefits and vacation, life insurance, and a pension! Woo hoo! Here's to a real fucking job.
It's also a Unionized work place which means that I won't be doing 80 hour weeks and not getting overtime anymore. They do hour for hour comp time so if I work 3 hours too much, I take 3 hours off. There is something about fairness in the workplace that makes me excited.
I had an interview with them and felt good about it. Apparently my gut was telling me something because as soon as I got home I had an email from them telling me they would like to move forward with me. It feels good to be wanted again.
This couldn't come at a better time since I've slowly been going crazy with nothing to do and Indigo and I have been flat broke.
This job is a little over 7,000 more a year than my last job which is a step in the right direction. I think I'll have a lot of opportunities to learn and grow in this position. I start on the first so wish me luck!
