Employed!

For the first time in over a year, I've finally got a job. My last one being such a dread (telemarketer), and having to deal with heavy bouts of depression keeping me down, I haven't really been very motivated to do much of anything for a long time. While reading the newspaper the other day, I noticed a familiar face within an article. Turns out my former science teacher is running for State Superintendent of Public Instruction, challenging the longtime chair-holder due to concerns over lack of collaboration and communication between state officials and individual school districts and educators. Having gotten the short end of the stick from the public school system for much of my life, I decided to congratulate him on his candidacy and thanked him for fighting for us students. After speaking with him for a few minutes he offered me an office job doing data entry, maintaining databases and stuffing envelopes. Not exactly glamorous work, but I was honored he asked me none the less. So now that I've got income maybe I can save up enough for a new Mac and possibly a new (used) vehicle. Who knows, maybe this could set me on a new career path
