On Track

Hello Lovelies,

As you all know by now, at least you should - I did tell you, I have a new job.  In fact a new new job.  No longer the temp job I did have.  (And neglected to post about.  Sorry.  But it really wasn't that exciting.)  I am a Project and Youth Coordinator for a non-profit affiliated with a local school district.  

This means I get to do marketing, writing, brochure-designing, website-updating, social media-posting, and kid-corraling.  Okay, not really the last one, but kind of, I'm going to be organizing middle and high schoolers, which should be entertaining.  For someone.  

And there are a few caveats to this job.  It's not full-time.  It has no benefits.  It will be over in 5 months.  But that's not the whole story- it could turn into a full-time, benefitted thing after these 5 months.  So we'll have to see about that.  

But maybe, just maybe, 

this will be the one that sticks.

I finished my first week.  And I like what I'm doing.  Imagine that, I'm doing something I don't hate AND I'm getting paid for it. 

 

Ah, that's how the working world is supposed to work.  Much better.

It's been a rough year... not just for me, I know, but for all of us.  These times have kicked us in the ass when we are just starting out, trying to figure out our lives.  

I'm relieved to say that I'm finally in a place where I think things in my life are getting on track.  Not anywhere near perfect mind you.  I'm still sponging off my parents for a bed and food, I'm still searching for some more friends I connect with that aren't hundreds to thousands of miles away, I don't have a very stable career future, and my jewelry business is iffy at best right now.  I'm not sure where I'll be this time next year.  But I know if I have a year similar in theme at all to the one I've just had, I know it's only going to get better.  

Hopefully.
