(no subject)
so i started my job yesterday and so far its pretty fucking awesome. i have a HUGE office all to myself. everyone heres been so nice and ive had visitor stopping in all day both days to welcome me and say hi. half of them dont even work at project h.o.m.e. but rather honickman learning center and other places affiliated. ive met a few of my residents but ive only remember 2 of their names so far. thursday i will meet all of them when we have our resident meeting. i have 16 families under my belt and the only other case manager has 15. that added bonus is that so far ive passed completely. infact part of the reason i got the job is because im male. im the only male let alone the only white person....and the youngest. they earned major affirmative action points when they hired me. im hoping that my age and being a white male wont work against me with some of my residents. there is a good change i will come across at least one resident who will think they dont have to listen to me just because i'm not what they are used to dealing with. OH YEAH, yesterday as i was organizing all my files and office i noticed a paper from last year that had their "transgender policy" on it. *whew* it was actually written really well and very much from the point of someone who was either trans themselves or very trans sensitive/aware. this makes me feel MUCH more comfortable here!
surprisingly i havent been trained really at all yet but im sorta starting to pick things up just from files and what not. since ive been here, i spent most of my time alone in my office. thursday i have a 3 hour long training and then next thursday i have a 2 hour long training and i think thats it. i will probably start visits with my residents by the end of next week. i hope im ready by then!
i have an hour and a half left here and im starting to get really bored cause no one has given me instructions and my computer doesnt have the system program installed so i can't start working on the till tomorrow. today i just got the internet which fucking rocks cause i dont have internet or television at my house anymore.
i love that my office has a window with a veiw of the grass and trees and playground....even though the rain is killing the veiw right now.
things have been hella crazy for me! i just started my job, i need to figure out my living situation (roomate or move) in the next 2 weeks since erica surprised me with her move-out news. that wasnt so cool but i cant really do anything about it...i just have to work with it. i need to find a source of income for the next 2 weeks till i get my first pay check. there is so much i need money for (new tire, pay about $500 in parking tix to get on the payment plan before they take away my registration, rent, utilities, vedas shots and neutering, masons updated shots, pay cham back, sign up for a new comcast account and pay off the old one)and it all seems to have a deadline that ends before i get paid. of course my luck...but then again my luck is also that i alwasy seem to work stuff out last second after a shit load of stress. hopefully i can pull that off this month.
OH....and the other things thats keeping me hella busy.....
