I applied at this non-profit place working with children. After my second interview they told me a little about the job, they asked if I could start in a week.
Normally I would say, "No, I need to give my job at least a 2 weeks notice", but I really don't enjoy anything I am currently doing. I thought my current job was going to be my dream job, but it turned out to be nothing more than a banker/loan officer type of job. Except people are way more angry. The only job I left in less than 2 weeks was my temp job in Tallahassee, but hey, I was temp, it wasn't a real job.

I used to babysit this young boy (2 years old) who had Down Syndrome, Autism and Diabetes. I taught him how to communicate through a little bit of sign language. Prior to me he didn't ask for anything, and didn't apologize for anything, he really didn't know how to interact with anyone. I also talk him how to walk, and to be honest, it was the most rewarding thing I've done, ever. Well except for slap Zach in the face, that was really rewarding, but on a different level.

The only thing that I'm sort of worried about is that the coworker that said, pregnant ladies should smoke, applied to the same job right after I told her I got the job....bummer. I really don't want her to follow me around.
I'm really excited to move onto this new chapter in my life! Finally I will be able to make a difference.
In conclusion, can anyone explain Pintrest to me!?!?! I feel like an old lady...again.
That sounds GREAT Ana! I will say working with kids with disabilities is hugely challenging and not fun when you get injured in the process! Smoking while pregnant? Ahhhhh...NOOOOOOO!! I hope that lady doesn't have kids! Definately not someone I'd want around mine! You'll be great. "Dream" jobs don't always live up to expectations. I know I want to do something else! But I know you'll be so great at what you do! You'll have to let me know how it goes!!! Hannah
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the new job!! It will be tough I'm sure (every job is) but so rewarding! and Kudos for having the guts and motivation to get out there and find another job once you realized you weren't happy.
ReplyDeleteNow about Pinterest...what's the problem? If you figured it out on your own, disregard the rest of this comment. You install the little gadget in your toolbar and when you see something you want to remember click "Pin it" and it saves the link and a picture for you to find later...
If you "follow" people their pins will show up on your home page and you can "re-pin" whatever they pinned that looks good to you. You only want to follow people with good taste so that you don't have a bunch of crappy pins showing up on your feed.
If you click "everything" or "popular" at the top, it shows you everyone from everywhere and what they've pinned recently.
Hope that helps! I love me some pinterest.
