Job Interview

Hey everyone! I don’t have much time to write but thought I’d hop on and say hi to the people who are reading my blogs! Thank you so much for your support by the way! I have a job interview at 10:30am at an orthopedic office for front desk part time. I am a little nervous but excited! The shifts are only 4-5 hours so I am really hoping this job is perfect for me. I worked at a really busy orthopedic office probably about 6 years ago for a couple years. I have also worked at busy front offices for physical therapy and handle it like a boss. I kind of wanted a chill job where I can just greet and check people in and do minimum work like my last job. But my last job was so boring and the 9 hour days without a lunch (illegal I know) went by very slow most days. I could do my diamond art though which was cool and listen to music and podcasts. But I think a more challenging busy job would probably be better for me. The shifts will go by fast and I will meet a lot of people, because they are I assuming non stop busy. Okay gotta go get dressed. I will maybe finish this later! Prays please if you’re the praying type! Thank You! Okay I am back and I think my interview went very well. She said she has other interviews today and tomorrow and will let me know either way. They are hiring 2 positions so I am really hoping I get it! The guy on the phone the other day said 10-25 hours but the manager I interviewed with today said 25-30 hours a week. I let her know I’d like about 20 and she said that is good. The training for 2 weeks or so is 8am-12pm Monday-Friday which is great! I will definitely have weekends off and I am thinking maybe 2 8 hour shifts and a 4 hour shift would be cool so I only have to work 3 days a week but we shall see. After I get the job and before October, I may let her know that due to mental disability I can only gross a certain amount per month. October has 5 Fridays so it is possible to that I will have 3 payday Fridays which could put me over. So that would probably be the only reason I will tell them. My last 2 bosses were very understanding and accommodating so fingers crossed it will be good here if I get the job! I am hoping to hear either way on or before Wednesday! I am so full right now. I went to Costco after the interview to get a big pack of toilet paper and ended up getting some turkey pinwheels and a big veggie tray. I had 5 of the pinwheels. I started with 3 but was still hungry so had 2 more. I also had 2 waters recently so I am full. I just took a hot bath to relax, because I tried to lay down but was a bit restless. I really miss having a garden or Roman bathtub. At my next house I definitely want one of those. I got my nails and toes done Friday and they look so cute. I started going to my best friends’ nail lady who works out of her house and she is so awesome! I am blessed to be able to have the extra money to get my nails and toes done. It is part of my self care. A friend in my Rooted church class says he doesn’t believe in self care and says you should always be thinking about others. I disagree and believe that self care is very important especially when you have mental illness. Part of my self care has been swimming laps for an hour and a half most days! I take that time to talk to God and pray to God and try to stay positive and think about positive things and goals. I have lost 4.8 pounds in 2 weeks and am feeling great! I think it is very important to take care of yourself and do things that make you happy and at peace. If you aren’t taking care of yourself and your mental health, you won’t be able to help anyone else. I really hope I am helping people with my blogs and Tik Tok videos and can’t wait to help more people once I get my facility. In the meantime people tell me I should volunteer on the Hello team at church. I think I will probably do that at some point, but I would really like to go to assisted living facilities or nursing homes and hangout with some older people who have no friends or family to visit them. I lost all my grandparents and miss my Grams Joyce so much who I was close with when she was alive. I wish I would have hung out with her more but sadly I can’t go back and do it again. Moving forward I would just like to do that with other people in need. It would be nice to just chat with someone, play cards, bring arts and crafts to do together. So I am really going to look into that soon. I will wait and see about this job and schedule first. I am taking the day off from swimming laps. I am pretty sure I swam laps every day last week. I am going to go to the 5:30pm AA Happy Joyous and Free meeting and then the Revovery Revival meeting that is not affiliated with AA but they still talk about the 12 steps sometimes and being sober. They also reference God, Jesus, and the Bible a lot. I really enjoy the meeting and the people. I have a few errands to run still but not sure if I will do them before AA or another day. Right now I am jamming out to loud Christian music and am going to do some diamond art. Hope everyone has an amazing day as you read this and thank you for your support.
