I Finally Got a Job!!

Hello everyone! Susan it is nice to hear that things are going well for you and you are all settled into your store. Me, on the other hand, has been looking for work since before we actually left the call center. BUT the search is finally over! I accepted a position as a Mental Health Counselor at Streamwood Behavioral Health Center, it is a residential treatment facility for children and adolescents (ages 4 to 17). I know what a wide range of ages. As of right now, I am employed on the acute unit where I would see individuals who are in immediate danger, treat them, stabilize them, and then allow them to return to their respective homes. This is quite exciting for me, however, I am also quite anxious over this as well--it has been quite awhile since I have worked in this capacity. I am definitely looking forward to having such a rewarding job again! I start on Monday and have two weeks of training and then off to the races I go! I am sure that my mother is excited for me as well, because now my checks will be more efficient than the ones I got from unemployment and I won't be needing to borrow any money from her!! I will keep everyone posted as to what goes on with the job and everything!

Other than searching for a job I have been keeping myself busy. I have gone to Wolves games, The Field Museum and the Art Institute (since they were both Free in February), and of course just all around vegged out!

Take care of yourselves and let us all know what is going on with you!!
