In reply to Scratchpad - update on museum puleeezzz xoxo (nm), posted by Kath on June 13, 2007, at 15:37:03
I'm giving it one more day (and I'll ask for *something* to do while I look for admission stickers). If I still don't like the people there, I'll tell them I'm not coming back. Also, the artist whose collection the museum houses (Salvador Dali) wasn't a very likable person, IMO. Hard to be enthusiastic about someone you respect but don't like. Maybe my head is just screwed on crooked about this position, but it doesn't feel right.
Meanwhile...
The science centre I had been helping out at called me to come in. The job had ended with the school year, but I had offered to come in any time. I just mentioned to my T today that I called 2 weeks ago to repeat my offer to work. I know that things happen when they are supposed to happen, and not a minute before.And...
I have been cleaning my little stretch of the beach on my morning walks for the past few days. I take an empty bag and a rubber glove with me. I must sound like a madwoman right about now, but I went to an environmental panel discussion about the oceans on Saturday night. And I'm trying to help heal the Mother, you know? So this is my bit. This weekend there's a local, coordinated effort to clean a bayou that's been neglected for 10 years. 2 pairs of gloves.On a very basic level, volunteering is so much easier than having to contemplate going to work. It's been 2 years since I quit due to depression. This way I am able to contribute somewhere where I already know I'm wanted.
I feel less crappy today than I did yesterday.
This is progress.Scratchpad
