JOB

So, I'm sure most anyone who reads this blog already knows, but I got the job!  I got a call within about 24 hours of my interview with an official offer.  My supervisor was the one who called, and after being formal, she mentioned being excited that she no longer has to be formal with me.  She seems really fun and very approachable, which was definitely something that I was looking for in a supervisor.  I've had a similar job to this one in the past and it was definitely not a good fit, and I think one of the main reasons was because of my supervisor.  She was pretty awful.

Anyway, I'm starting out PT (20 hours), but I could become FT fairly quickly if I want (they said someone started working there about a month ago and they are already FT).  Also, they are going to work with me so that I can get my license (LPC).  It sounds like I could probably get a temporary license since I have already passed the NCE and I graduated from a CACREP accredited school.  I'm especially excited because I will be working with families that have requested help- which means the parents will actually care what I have to say (to some extent ha)!  

Anyway, I'm very excited to finally be doing a job in my field that I am really excited about.  Jake asked me the other night if I have ever been this excited about a job and I had to say no.  I mean, I loved working with special ed kids and I have loved some of the people I have worked with in the past, but I always felt like I wasn't fully using my degree with those positions.  I kept wondering what I was doing working at a job that only requires a HS diploma.  I can fully see how God was working now and how all of my work history has led me up to this point.  I can potentially see me working with this organization for the next 5-10 years.  So, I think it's fairly accurate to say that I am happy! (I was also happy that I didn't have to finish filling out the app for the county that I had to do BY HAND.  It was horribly obnoxious.)
