I got another job!
I just went for an intrview for a home-based behavioural program and it went splendidly. The kid was all over me, they were impressed with my never-grow-up outlook and my calm demeanour when faced with behaviours (=troublesome behaviours like self-injury, shouting, tickles that actually kind of hurt....). They seemed stoked and I can start asap. I'm going in next monday afternoon to meet one of the other...advisors, I think? And then we'll do pairing which just means that I'll be playing with the kid so she associates me with rewards so that, when I make a request, she'll be driven to do it because I'm rewarding like that.
So excited! So officially my hours are up to....16. Per week. Haha. Still sucky but I still have Tuesday and thursday afternoons and all of Fridays to fill in. Plus I could probably do evenings as well, some kids have later sessions so I could do them at that time too to help fill in hours. But the pay is pretty good so I can last on less hours which is really good. And also the woman knows of other families that are looking for a BI (that's me) so she's going to hook me up. I'm so stoked! I'm really enjoying this.
In other news, I'm going to get boozEH tomorrow night :D. Birthday celebrations. Should be good.
Um things are good. Everyone is sick, there's something going round. Today it was warm and sunny, then it poured with rain, with some hail stones thrown in and then it was sunny again.
I'm going to go.
Much love.
