i had a friend email me to tell me she saw something about me having a job through the comments here on the little blog and had no idea what i was doing.
and then i realized that it's been a long time since i simply updated y'all on life.
so here goes.
the last time i updated at all about this, i was still unemployed from the move back to the atl from good old bmore.
sometime towards the end of september, i went to charleston to see some friends, go to the beach, and look for a job or something (i was pretty convinced that was where i was headed). the trip, however, confirmed for me that charleston, however lovely and wonderful and fun, was not where i was going. but while i was there, i was given the number of a guy to call who was looking for a director for an after-school program/apartment ministry here in the suburbs of atl. i called him and got an interview.
after about a month of interviews and observations and tests, i wasn't offered the position. i was however, offered a part-time job with them as a facilitator (essentially, a group leader). i decided to take it because something is better than nothing, right? even if it's not ideal.
at the same time, i started doing temp work at the school board with filing and such.
this. was. frustrating.
i found myself still working all day long, leaving one job and going to another and then not getting home til later. i really couldn't believe it. this was why i left, God? really??
a few weeks later, i was in a meeting with my old principal about something completely non-job related and was offered a position as a para-pro.
so here i am.
working as a para (which, to those who are non-education related, is basically an assistant) in the same school i taught in before i moved to bmore. while i still don't believe this to be my ideal situation, dream job, or permanent place, it is an answer to prayer.
yet another way that God has provided for me.
and there you have it.
a (semi) short update on the job situation.
