uPdate – Mousey pulls in in a virtual trans-am with fuzzy dice
I just wanted to stop in and give blog readers an update. I have a second job and I am working approximately 30 hours a week if you count the hours between that and the very part time position I had. For those people who have been supportive in my situation, including Amir Larijani and Savvy – a tremendous thank you for the few supportive words I have received from you during my search.
Granted, I am not working full time and I don’t receive insurance, but brick by brick, Mousey will rebuild her career into a job that will turn into a real living. The major part of this situation is mental and emotional because I can’t have 100 % control of my circumstances. God has and will continue to care for me and my ‘rents and brother and canine.
My posts have been few and far between because I have been busy and in the middle of a serious personal problem. However, I believe that the depression and my current situation in my personal and private life is seasonal.
I am happy when I go to my jobs now because I really like working with people and seeing them discover how things work. I realized that I never had to make a career transition from teaching because I am always going to be a teacher. If I continue to focus on that as a vocational calling from God, it will help me navigate through the thornberries of the profession and to see the fruit that comes out of it. My new job and several months of “recovery” from my master’s program have enabled me to see my vocational calling more clearly.
It doesn’t matter if I teach in a small clapboard school house or if I train a new employee at a big corporation or become a homemaker – you can’t take the teacher out of Exchurchmouse!
