So I've decided on a new plan of attack on the work front.
I think it's silly to be so pissy about a job that is a good job, even if it's not the job I really want. I mean, it pays okay (for social work), and it's actually quite fun most of the time. No, I don't want to work with the 0-3 set long-term but the kids are awfully cute and they're almost guaranteed to like me. So yeah. From now on I am going to try to find ways and reasons to love my job.
For starters, I love my job because there is no on-call and very little crisis work. That makes it pretty low-stress. I'm sure there will be stress about productivity and conflicts and all of that, but the work itself is pretty stress-free. That's nice. Also, even though I don't like driving around all day, I like that these home visits are not mandated by the courts - so the people usually like me. Good times. Finally, I like that the hours are pretty flexible (usually) and that once I have a full caseload up and running, I can kind of do things as I please as long as my hours are in.
So that said, I am going to stop bitching about the job. That doesn't mean I am not going to keep my eyes out for that perfect job, of course. In fact, last night I applied for a position with MassEquality.org. Sweet.
So yeah. Here goes nothing!
