Finally.

I have been trying so hard to get hired at a mental hospital. My first interview went great and the lady loved me and my work experience and knowledge. She asked what made me be so interested in pursuing my psychology degree, so I laid the facts out just as they were. I explained to her how I had been 'R' and from dealing with all of my health issues following the assault physically and emotionally I discovered how interesting the mind is. I love how it works, it is seemingly endless. She was shocked and asked me if I had healed enough to work with others that went through same or similar situations. I lied and said yes. My assault happened 13 months ago but I told her it had been a couple years. She said that since I had personal experiences with the matter, I would be a great employee and better help the patients. Good Right? Well I keep trying to call her but its voicemail each time.

Today my boyfriend and I were out doing errands and I stopped by a retail store at which I previously worked. I walked in and was greeted with friendly smiles asking where I had been. 10 minutes later, The manager hired me back, along with my boyfriend. I didnt want to work in such a crazy public place but the Manager ensured us we would be given the same hours. So I am glad. Its a two third pay cut from my previous jobs but at least its a job. I guess im lucky I even got a job in this economy.

We start Sunday so im glad ill be working with my best friend and around people I already know and feel comfortable with.
