Finally...
I started work on Wednesday. My agency is cool, and I really enjoy the people there. I am the ONLY one that knows how to implement MPowerment :( I'm doing it all by myself. Many of my deliverables are unachievable, and some deliverables that I have do not even pertain to the MPowerment intervention. I have a meeting with my supervisor tomorrow, to discuss this. My supervisor recognizes though, that I know what I am doing in regards to the MPowerment intervention. He shows me a great deal of respect. So much more than I have ever gotten from the agency I previously worked for. I really really like my job. Although I make really little money, it's a full time position, the benefits are RIDICULOUSLY great (after the 1st year I get: 29 days off, an awesome medical plan, free life insurance, a retirement plan, and sooo much more, just because my position is a union job), and I've been getting more respect than I could ever imagine, given my youth and relatively little experience. I've only been working in HIV for a little over a year, and I'm running an entire program by myself (I'm being given a part time person to supervise in a couple weeks).
My cold seems to be gone; I feel great. I'm still coughing up mucus though. Paul and I are probably going to move in with each other. I've been doing great otherwise.
