Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
 

I gave the homeless shelter my letter of resignation this morning. I am vacating my position in two weeks time.

Time to move on.

I did acquire another position at a GLBT legal rights organization here in Boston. I will basically be doing the same thing I am doing here for more money hourly. However, it is a PT position, but I am currently looking for another PT position elsewhere. I am hoping the job will lead to something FT. If not, 2 PT jobs never killed me before...

I enjoy what I do at the shelter, but the environment is a tad bit depressing for me. It's hard for me to separate myself from the hardships of the guests. I also felt that although the shelter does a lot of good, it does seem to enable a lot of people to stay on the street and not help themselves. Also, the lobby has been a haven for drug deals which go unmonitored even after many requests from staff to remedy that.

So, off I go to yet another job. Things sure have changed since my parents' day. They both have had the same jobs their whole lives. Retirement? What's that?

I think this new position will keep me settled until a move is in the works for us. We plan to move to Southern California some day. It could happen very soon, it could happen in a year... We'll see.

Wish me luck.
:)

Good Luck!

I'm sure you will land on your feet, and find a better job soon.

Luck!

Congrats, GC. Here's hoping a move will be soon and easy.

Good luck CG!

It would be nice to have you in our neck of the woods!:snap:

[Peter Brady voice] It's time for a chANGE. It's TIME FOR A change. [/Peter Brady voice]

Much luck, GC!! Hope I get to meet you on a future trip to SoCal!!

It's great to hear your news, GC. I'm trying to psych myself into making similar moves. Blaze the trail and keep us informed!

Congrats! (Will there still be time for... us?) ; )

Onward and upward! Good luck, and may you not end up a customer of your former employer ;)

GC lives in Boston...so far from us. :(

Best of luck, babe. Gotta reach out and grab that future with both hands.
