I've been needing good news for quite some time now! And it's finally come... I GOT A JOB! Aside for working for a lady with a spinal cord injury part time for about 2 months (march-may), I haven't worked since last December. I haven't had unemployment since May.. My poor boyfriend has been supporting me for far too long! I'm pretty sure I can handle this, too. I had a lot of problems when working for the lady this spring, she was b*tchy (excuse the language) and constantly on my case, I felt a bit like Cinderella when I was working. Even though I explained to her my situation, she would still ride me (okay, not quite literally) the whole time I was there.. Do this, do that, clean this, clean that... I would go home at the end of a 5 hour shift feeling like I just walked 20 miles and got hit by a train...
I've been afraid of going back to work. But, I don't have any choice. I'm not going to be able to get disability, and no more unemployment for me... Aye..
Anyway, my new job: I'm a PC (Program Coordinator) at a group home for developmentally disabled adults. As a PC, I will basically be supervising the direct care staff, lending a hand when they need it, sometimes cooking meals, handling the resident's money, filling out some paper work.. That kind of stuff. They're going to pay for me to get my CPR certification, which I was going to do anyway (bonus), it pays pretty decent, comes with pretty good benefits (big bonus), and is pretty close to my home (pretty cool as gas prices reach 3.05/gallon here... I can ride my bike!).
My head is a swirling mess right now, and a lot of things aren't right in my world.. BUT, at least I got a JOB! That's a big load of my mind!
I just had to share the news with you all, I've been quite excited and celebrated a little with some friends last night, and I do believe some other friends will be taking me out tonight!
Have a good one everyone!
~Chelsie~

Chelsie,
It sounds like a great job, I hope it is everything you need.
It makes me sad to see you struggle with having to work and not feeling good.
I am glad your boyfriend has been vital in helping you feel better and has been a big support for you.
Let us know how the job is going,
Take Care,
Lisa

Congratulations! I'm sure the feeling of worth is just as fulfilling as earning some cash. I'm very happy for you!
