ode to 26
"Life is not about how fast you run, or how high you climb, but how well you bounce. "
So, I know I've only been 26 since yesterday, but thus far I'm thinking it's going to be a damn good age. I was a little leary at first, being that I'm offically rounding the corner toward 30... That being said, I got a call today from what may potentially be an amazing job opportunity for me. The position is "Social Service Director" for the Adult Day Care center in Wellsville. I'm so many kinds of excited, I almost wet my pants when I played my answering machine tonight!
The job basically would be a lot of what I used to do at the Office for the Aging, I would get to interact with the elderly again (which I miss SO MUCH), and generally it sounds really cool. I have to call the lady back tomorrow to set up the interview, as it turns out, I actually already know her - which I'm hoping works to my advantage.
While HomeCare & Hospice (where I'm working now) is a decent job, it is greatly lacking in the passion factor. I have zero passion for what I'm doing there. I spend most of my day doing busywork and playing on the internet. I pretty much just go through the motions and smile when I'm supposed to, act interested when I'm supposed to and run like hell for the door at 4:30. Working with people, helping people, especially elderly people IS my passion and I miss it so much.
Add in that it takes me 15-20 minutes to get to Wellsville, as opposed to the 40-45 it takes me to get to work now... I'm trying not to get myself too excited, my degree isn't in social work, but I'm hoping that my three years experience at the Office for the Aging will be enough to make up for that. Oy, so nervous, so excited... I think I have to pee again.
I'm sure all of you can guess what comes next: PLEASE PRAY LIKE CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
