NOBODY PUTS BABY IN THE CORNER

HELLO!

Seriously, the amount of time I'm away from my computer is increasing.. you know, now that I have a big girl job & a life and all..alright, maybe not a life, but a job, YES.  I swear, I'm not down for the count.  NOT EVEN A JOB WILL KEEP ME FROM BLOGGING. -_-


And, thanks for asking, my new job is going GREAT.  I love it so far, and hope that I only continue to love it!

Highlights of what's been going on..

UNO. Got a neighbor that I KNOW! YAY My friend wound up moving into the same development, which has been great because I have someone besides myself to drive crazy.

DOS. Went home, my car died, naturally, came back with my sister's car, need to buy new car (not exactly coinciding with my bill paying and world saving.. but making it WORK)

TRES. Sunshine has an interview for a full time job.. IN HIS FIELD! AND ITS NEAR ME! YAYAYAYYAYAY
I. CAN. NOT. WAIT.

Other things on my mind.

I'm going through this corporate training for where I have been employed (paperwork, video, paperwork, nod off, paperwork, conversation, video aaaaaaaand repeat.)

I am so very much in love with this organization and I'm BEYOND stoked to be part of their team! However, I'm sitting in this training listening to people use the R word.. if you know me, this is NOT OK. And although they are using it as a medical term, my skin still crawls.  So me, being me, and probably perceived as a little overbearing, took the time to educate my fellow NEW HIRES on the importance of using INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY. 

We are the face of this organization now.  We should ALL be advocating for the population we work with.  Whether it's a part time side-gig or your life long calling.  You need to BELIEVE in what you do. 

If you like selling paperclips, you sell your little heart out.  If you are a registered dietician, you better love your nutrient dense food.  If you work with people with disabilities, ADVOCATE. 

You need to live and breathe what you do.  At least, that's what I think.  What's the point of half-assing something?  Why not make your living by doing what you LOVE to do?  If it's your career, employment (shwhatevuh you wanna call it) it's part of your LIFESTYLE.  So what does that say about you?

Think about it, and report back.
