Good news, finally
First piece of good news.. I think my yahoo email is fixed!! I finally provided the correct information to yahoo services to get them to reset my password and let me access my mail! I had over 100 emails, and over 350 junk emails! Crazy! I'm still going to use the new one I created for a few more days, just to make sure this crazy hacker doesn't get back into my account somehow.
Other piece of good news.. while I was at Tuckers today, shopping in Food Lion, the woman from Footprints called and offered me a job! Yay. I'm not jumping up and down squealing though, I guess because it's not exactly what I want to be doing. This place just does case management, no counseling (group or individual) and no behavioral services. It's mostly adults. But, supposedly the insurance is great, and I really like the people that work there (the 3 that I met anyway), and it's a job paying the same I should have gotten at Failure. So, I guess it'd be dumb not to take it, or to take the Stokes Co DSS one considering it's the same pay and I'd have to travel 1+ hrs a day. I think I'd like the DSS one more, because it'd be helping kids and families get the services they need, but I don't think that could out weigh the traveling. Ya know? As my dad said, I oculd just take this one for now and see what happens. I don't think this job will get me any closer to getting my license either, which kind of blows. But, what's another year? I'm really just kind of confused. I had another place call me Monday morning, about a job working with 3, 4, 5 and 6 year olds doing behavioral interventions. The preschool kids have been kicked out of regualr preschools/daycares for behaviors, and the kindergardeners I think were the same. It's direct care 6 hrs a day, 4 days a week. It would have some case management, family work and other duties like that with it, but it'd be like a day care for bad kids most of the day. Like the Children's Home kids at age 4. I don't think that would last for very long before one would burn out. It would, however, do very well towards licensure. But, I haven't even interviewed, so I wouldn't know on that for a week or so, and I don't know if Footprints would wait that long. There is also a position with Head Start that I just sent a resume to that sounds perfect for me, but there again, the process on that would prob take too long. Bah! I'm 99% sure I'll take the job at Footprints, just beacuse I need to be making some serious money.
So, tomorrow I have to call the Unemployment people and find out if I can still do that.. I'm supposed to go to a class about it tomorrow afternoon, but they told me if I heard anything on a job before then to call and tell them. I've heard that unemployment is retroactive, meaning they should pay me for a month's work of no working.. so we'll see. I also have to call Baptist Hospital, because it turns out I'm still on my parents insurance, until I turn 26. We thought it was 25, so I used my crap ass TCH insurance for my diabetes appts and have had to pay $350 out of pocket in lab costs! So, I'm going to see if they can file it with my parents insurance and give me back the money I paid! Hopefully, that'll work, and I"ll have a chunk of change for Christmas gifts!! SPeaking of chunks of money, I should be getting some of my apt deposit back soon.. It was $300, I doubt I'll get all of it back, but a majority of it should be mine!
Guess that's it for now.

Horray for a job! :-) Even though it isn't ideal, like you said, it's something, and it can get you through to whenever you find something that is a better fit. I think it's wise to turn down that preschool behavioral intervention thing though. At least with TCH kids, they were old enough to reason with or declare psychological warfare on (like when you challenged that girl, "fine, hit me, see what happens" and she didn't bite), but younger kids...eeek. It seems like if TCH was like babysitting, then this would be even more babysitting horrors times 10!
I hope the insurance thing works out! My experience with insurance is that it is like pulling teeth for them to refund stuff--they hate paying for stuff and will make it especially hard if you've already paid! :-P Insurance can be SUCH a pain. My mom's pesters me every year to prove I'm still a student--and if so, I can be on it until I'm 26. (However, I've also taken the PSU plan since last fall, because the doctor coverage up here is better, but the Rx coverage with hers is better.) Maybe yours is less Hitler-like though, if they don't require studentness. Good luck! Just hiya-guffaw them if they're being hardasses. :-)

Hurray for moving on and being employed! I know that's a relief to you. =) Jack has been interviewing for actuary jobs lately too, so he's in the middle of making job decisions, but at least he has a job to pay the bills in the meantime! Good luck with your decision, and I'm with Lauren about the little kids. I could handle one or two, but I'm guessing you'd have a bunch of them. Yipes.
