I have some good news :-)

Posted by Kath on February 8, 2008, at 18:24:46

My son got a job today.

He had had a part-time job in a sports bar kitchen in Dec & early Jan; last worked 2 shifts the first week of Jan while he still had his 'voices' from the psychotic episode. I respected him for that!!! And told him so.

ANYway, his boss said he'd call him in when he needed him & didn't call, didn't call. My son left a couple of messages & finally got hold of him & he wasn't working there any more & they hired all new people!!

So last week I asked son if he wanted me to keep an eye on the paper for anyone hiring in our town. He said yes, handed in a resume to a small local restaurant earlier this week, had an interview today, they said they'd call him back & they did, to offer him the job!!

I am hoping it works out. Should suit him perfectly as it's 3 1/2 hours Wed & Thurs late afternoon to evening & 4 1/2 hours Fri, ending at 9. It's within walking distance from his place.

So by Wed, he'll hopefully have gotten rested from partying on the weekend (~sigh~) and as he starts at 4:30, he'll be okay even if he sleeps in BIGTIME.

So I'm happy & I'm trying to not be attached to it...just know that yes, for now, he has a job which will give a bit of structure to his life, give him a bit extra money & a chance to hopefully meet some new people & feel good about himself. The disability pension here is very good in that for any month that a person on dis. works, they get an extra $100. Granted, they only get to keep 1/2 of what they earn, but it's still an incentive & a chance for them to try to do some work.

Also today, I haven't been feeling as depressed. (Even before I knew he got the job).

luv to all, Kath
