Holy CRUD. The clinical head of the jail just called me and I PASSED. Yeah, it's slightly less money but it's also not a 3 hour commute 4 days a week. I was totally stunned. So I have just set about like, cancelling ALL my other stuff (except that one position but if I really want to check it out, I guess I can do so some "special" way, etc. and whatnot).
But everything else, I politely CANCELLED. Man I'm so glad I did nothing much today because I start on MONDAY. I do think an extra 3 hrs per day will do nothing GOOD to my life, probably. LOL. I kind of hardly knew what to SAY although I WILL say, I was so stunned I just robotically agreed to appear.
It does tell me that perhaps one shouldn't name one's children "BabygazingnavelofLight because it, you know, turns out mean. But yes, so that's a GOOD thing holy goodness is it because APART from ONE nanny thing that I was quite sad about, I had to really freaking hold back my RELISHMENT in saying no to some of that nanny stuff.
Nannies, society's need for them, and the way they can be treated (at least in Tucson AZ, although I did hang out with a bunch of illegal nannies near DC and they get treated awful TOO) well, in my opinion that is ONE reason that Satan has as many minions as it does.
LOL, one might say the same about jails, but like, at least I'll be adequately compensated and it's like 10 minutes from my HOUSE and ALSO has fantastic benefits. I think I'll be okay either way, although the kid did tell me they use "straight jacket chairs" there and that one chick was pulled out into the milieu to be jeered at/as some sort of motivational thing. THAT HAD to be the night shift, OMG I hope, but that is also the reason I am not cancelling that ONE other job because if I see anyone get manhandled into a straight jacket chair, I will flip out, and not in any nuts kind of way, but more of a "I realize this is a dangerous prisoner but I don't think human rights violations are in ANY way going to help the situation on ANYONE'S side social woker-y way. If that happens YEAH I MIGHT drive like 3 hours each way, but only THEN."
I would read up on what I might encounter but I also have to say the kid was on 16 hits of acid, he may not be the most reliable informant. Etc. Also, I kind of want to see it in the flesh for myself.
I'm still sort of um, shocked, but SO GLAD otherwise. Etc.
