Have to Brag ...

[BrentRichards]

I finally landed the job I've been after for almost a year! On October 22, I will become an official employee of the Commonwealth of PA (go state workers!) ...

Specifically, I will become a counselor in the State Department of Corrections ... advantages include:

1. Getting back into mental health field, which I miss.
2. MAJOR pay raise, outstanding benefits.
3. Possibility for promotions (which doesn't exist where I am now).
4. Challenge! I've grown very bored with what I do now ... too much computer work, too little people work.
5. State jobs in PA have LGBT protection! (nice bonus)
6. DOC direct-service jobs (working directly with inmates) are age 50 retirement ... leaving enough time (one hopes) for yet another career afterwards!
7. No weekend work for a change!

Disadvantage ...

I currently live in an employee rental property at my job, and will have to move. Hate moving. Considering fire-bombing the place instead (not really).

Wow that's great Brent!

Amazing - and great! - that you want to do that, too. I would probably come home from my first day, curl in a ball, and cry.

Fabulous!

So there's one little move involved. It'll be over sooner than you know it.

If you really want to go to prison, I'm sure we could arrange something ...

I know, u-dog: dress like a pirate and take a pic of yourself. post it and we'll compare you both.

Good luck in your new job. I just went from direct care to a computer desk two months ago, but hopefully it will be a good move. I am happy with it so far. All the best!!:love:
