Real Excited today.
It's getting closer and closer to my training day. I am so happy something new is on the horizon. I have spent so much time feeling down and upset about money issues this new opportunity is the spark I needed in my head so I did not give up. I wonder what will be covered in the training? Mostly how to do your time sheets and all.That is what the email hinted at. It's really cool to know that something I got a degree in actually HELPED me here. Sometimes I think that a degree can hurt more than it helps. I have enough trouble with people not hiring me because I have an obvious disability. I would be more of a hindrance than an asset. Very few people will try to see past that to hire me. I also have lots of problems because I have a degree. I must be too smart to work at a small job and I am too much trouble to work at a big job. So I am stuck. I often feel frustrated and angry that seem to need to work but no one and I mean no one seems to see what talents I have to offer. I keep getting put in a box. Even when I worked as a disability advocate. I had to do it their way. I could only do what they wanted me to do the way they wanted me to do it. I realize of course some of that is going to happen no matter what job you have. Each person has to decide how to deal with the parts of the job that you don't like. When you start feeling strangled and cornered it is not a good situation. While I would not recommend that anyone do anything to get themselves fired, sometimes it does not matter as much how you leave as long as you leave. I have now had a good two years to put my life together and I am ready put my skills to use. I like the idea of teaching adults. All the creativity without the stupid behavior.
I have some other news. The solo list for choir came out. I did not get a solo but I did get a duet. I am OK with a duet. In case there is a question, a duet is two people singing, I did not really get the song I wanted either. I am OK with that too. I really just want to sing as much as I possibly can. This video is a version of my duet though mine is not quite this jazzy. This one seems a bit more fun. Take care
