A Job

I was offered and have taken a job.

Veterinarian office bookkeeper.

Pros:

  • part time
  • flexible hours
  • dogs and cats everywhere
  • very close to home
  • the vet seems very friendly
  • I can work from home part of the time
  • employee discount
  • no hearing fatigue
cons:
  • part time
  • no health benefits
  • low pay
I think it will be fine as long as the state will still pay part of my health care premium. It's hard to know for sure. Much like a hospital visit, there is not an easy to find chart that gives the income cut offs for the working poor.

    That's great news! There's nothing that says you can't keep looking for a full-time job with better pay/benefits but in the meantime, you've got your foot in the door! They say that it's easier to job hunt and get another job if you're employed while doing so. Let's hope that's accurate!

    Congratulations! Does the vet know others that need a part-time bookkeeper?

    I say, three cheers! Maybe it is a longtime job; maybe just a placeholder. But you have work that will satisfy with someone who appears to be nice. And low pay is better than no pay. I hope you can ferret out the health-related things and who knows, maybe a second part-time will open up in good course, too. This makes me smile. Good news.

    Congratulations! So good to know that you have found a job there. It may not be perfect, but it's a start AND you get to see all kinds of furry and feathery critters everyday. Hope it all goes well.

    Fantastic news. Another part time job will find its way to you before you know it. In the meantime, you can ease your way back into the workforce at a comfortable pace. Being surrounded by animals sounds kind of dreamy to me.

    Congratulations! That is a much better employee discount than the previous one you mentioned! Working from home sometimes and working amidst the critters at others sounds wonderful! I hope you enjoy it. Even though it's not exactly what you were looking for it seems flexible enough to allow for continued searching or a future addition. So happy for you :-)

    Congrats from the great news department. It's a wonderful start and who knows what will happen. The animals are a nice attraction though, I miss them as we can't have them.

    That’s great news. A good place to start in the area. Networking will be easier now being out in the community. Good luck! Something better will come along.

We pass by the house frequently since it sits on a busy thoroughfare. We know to look every time we pass and guess what will we see. Will it be the two Dalmatians, sitting on the couch that backs up to the giant panel window, waiting for their human to come home? Or will it be their human, sitting slightly to the right of middle (allowing for a better view of the giant mounted tv across the room) of the said couch. They are never there at the same time. It’s one or the other. One sleepless night, when my body was willing but my brain was not, I did a little sleuthing. It’s amazing what you can find out about a complete stranger.   His name is Gary and, from what I can tell, he’s never been married. He has worked his way up in a air duct company. He’s now the senior VP but it’s a small company and he still goes out on jobs, judging from  the reviews on Yelp. I know he has two siblings and that their father passed away in 2018. His memorial was held in a Buddhist temple and Gary sr. soun

Go!

 Vai. E, se der medo, vai con medo mesmo. When one is raised in an angry family, it’s not enough to say I don’t want to be angry. You must learn how to do it differently. That’s no easy task. If judgment and self hatred became a way of life, a new way to live has to be taught. There are many ways to do it. Reading, writing, sharing, practicing all help the change. Counseling, psychoanalysis, religion, meditation, gratitude, have the ability to transform but I needed to see it in action, it needed to be more tangible, visual, accessible. I needed to understand the possibilities. There is a YouTube channel that I watch over and over again in order to absorb how to live more fully, more open and from the heart. One of the first episodes that I stumbled on is this…. The channel is Reflections of Life and through it we get to meet people who are doing life a little differently, often more soul based. People who are living life, healing wounds and finding what is truly important.  It can be

Let's Be Perfectly Clear

I would like your input on this letter I am considering sending out. Darryl, I once considered you, if not a friend, a very friendly acquaintance. Our daughters are the same age. I am sure that your daughter is as special to you as mine is to me. McKenna is 21 years old and starting out her life with some tough situations. SHE IS NOT AN OBJECT. She is a person who has her ups and downs, her struggles and triumphs. She has, in the past year, completely alone, had to make scary medical decisions for her mentally ill, addicted father. She has had to watch as the man who was an amazing father slowly turn into a shell of a man who has little to give and much to take. Whether purposefully or accidentally, you have added to her already difficult year. I wonder…would you appreciate my ex-husband leering and making inappropriate comments to your daughter over the course of a long evening? Think about that for a moment!  What were you hoping to achieve with your behavior? Whether
