A seemingly random and anticipated update:
I got a different position.
I was just informed that I got a job working at a Boys and Girls Club just under an hour away from here.
It’s part-time. It’s an assistant position, not a manager position. It will pay less than what I am making now — which is carefully calculated to be at 110% of the poverty line.
But I have never, ever been so happy to hear that I got a job that to many is a large step down from what I’m doing now.
Now to look for a supplementary income and take in the fact that I will once again be able to work with youth directly.
