I LOVE my new job!!

I consider today a very successful day!! (despite my raging headache)

This job really makes me feel like I "make a difference"!
I was able to make 3 very good Outreach Efforts to the Department of Social Services Child Care Program (who deal with foster children and parents returning to work, transitioning off of Welfare) and to the WIC Program at the Health Department. They welcomed me as a new member of their Team, after I found out that they previously had no clue of the services "we" offer or the fact they could refer parents and children to me for Health Care Coordination Services. When I walked away, it felt really good knowing how much I can offer these Programs and the over-loaded, over-worked caseworkers. Today, I felt like my struggle and stress in my previous job suddenly was ALL WORTH IT and I finally found a job where I can make a difference!!

While talking about Autism and Developmental Screenings provided by our program, the supervisor introduced me to a co-worker. This young mother has a 2 year old who may or may not be on the Autism Spectrum. I was able to set her up with reliable and valuable resources, educated her a bit about "developmental surveillance" -vs- "developmental/autism screening" and "calmed her nerves" by reassuring her that she "can take control" of the situation, educate herself and be prepared to ask the right questions when her son is screened by a professional.

Just the look of relief on her face and watching a "weight lift" from her shoulders gave me a huge sense of accomplishment. She had been so overwhelmed and scared.

You can accomplish much in this world by making a difference for ONE person. I do believe in "Pay It Forward". Your efforts will blossom to touch many people and their lives.

Got a trim and lowlights
Boi got hys hair 'fixed' after I cut it :|
Ate lunch
Got a power nap then read in hys office while hy went to a meeting
Ate dinner
Finished sorting through mail, opened it all, tossed the trash
Paid a few bills (just need to find the stamps for the ones I couldn't do on-line)
Going to check my bank accounts to see if my other payments went through
Watching movies on Netflix with my hunny

As a side note - I was looking over our insurance statements that show what they paid for what medical visits (100%) and had to giggle because I am under the boi's insurance and our dental office put down hys last name as mine and I am listed as hys spouse. Just added to my allover nice day :)

P.S. I spoke with my department manager and she increased all my hours to 40 hour weeks to go with my full-time status, so I don't have to wait two weeks to get full-time. :sunglass:
