Job Hunting

Still on the hunt.  Had an interview today that went well.  Hope to get a call back for a 3rd round.  I am trying not to get my hopes up, as there are so many jobs with sooo many applicants.  

This week was a challenge for me, at least part of it.  I found out that my respite family is changing providers and made no effort to inform me in a timely manner, let alone seem interested in working with me any longer.  The family knew for two weeks prior to telling me, which explains the distance and tension I was sensing.  So now, not only have I lost my full time position, I also lost my part-time job, which was helping us scrape by.  Great.  

I am now trying to stay positive, with this most recent interview.  I also have great friends who are vouching for me in the schools and am through the first cut to be a secretary at a local school.  Any experience within the schools would be great to help me out with my future School Counselor career.  

Still plugging along and am grateful for all of the support and suggestions given.  

Life...

Things have been a bit nuts around here so I thought I'd share with the few who read this.  Due to a 40% budget cut in the program I work for, I will no longer have a job as of March 15th.  While this is typically a reason to gasp and express condolences, I am starting to feel that it is the right thing for me right now.  I was really feeling limited in my position and the company is not improving in terms of the management.  Currently, I'm looking to get into an administrative assistant position or working for a chiropractor or back to the optometrist's office in order to focus more on school and have less emotionally draining work.  Will keep you updated.  

Ben is moving laterally at Wells Fargo and will be supporting loss prevention instead of boarding services, as those services are being moved to Phoenix.  We are thankful that he still has a position with the company and looking forward to taking a business trip later this month to teach Phoenix the support services he provided.  I will enjoy the warmth.  :)  

Hope this finds all of you with a job, healthy and happy.  Hope to visit y'all soon!
