(no subject)
It's hot as hell in the apartment so I'm sitting out on the patio, black cat at my feet while the striped one stalks the perimeter of the common area.
I guess I'm not doing so bad at the job. I mentioned awhile back that my boss was fired three weeks after I started there and the only other full-time employee quit in protest, leaving me alone to bring order to the chaos they called the Teen Program
It wwasn't even in my job description. I just kinda took over and management saw good things were coming from it so they left me alone, actually made things easy for me. After 5 months on the job I see I've gotten an 8% raise. Thursday I'm formally interviewing for the position. If I get it, I should receive at least a $10k raise. That's ok especially since Richard pays most of the bills which means I'll be able to save even more money each month.
Now - about today's job interview. It is as starkly opposite what I do now as possible. Here's a table to show what I mean:
Where I work nowWhere I interviewed today
quick commute: tank of gas lasts 2 weeks17 miles each way gas mileage:?
Set in the slum and drug-ridden inner city35 acre wooded campus with beautiful buildings and facilities
Poor inner city kids, often children of prostitutes and addicts100% privileged white girls
salary level so low I'm entitled to subsidized housinglush income
5 sick days a year2 personal days, Christmas break, Spring break, Easter break, summer break *and* 10 sick days
Not that I've been offered the job. But it's something to think about. The kids I work with are lovable people and I learn a lot from them. I can make many things possible for them.
On the other hand...
