New Job!!!

So, after 3 months of searching for a job, I finally found one!!! I am now working part-time for the Southwestern California chapter of Volunteers of America, which is a faith-based non-profit organization that runs programs to help the community. Some of their programs include daycare/preschool for low-income families, assisted living facilities for the elderly, drug/alcohol rehab, as well as services for individuals just getting out of prison. I'm working in the corporate office as an admin assistant, keeping track of their files and trying to bring more order to the office. I love feeling productive again and I love feeling like what I'm doing makes a difference. One of the perks of my job is that I get Thursdays off, so I can still help out at the Bishop's Storehouse. I feel like this is the perfect job for me right now and I'm just loving it. Just about every day I drive directly to Jonathan's place as soon as work finishes up and we hang out until he has to leave to work at 4:30. We usually make lunch/dinner together and catch up on each other's lives. We also like to take short naps...because one or both of us are usually tired. Since this week the Olympics are on, I have been up until past midnight just about every night...the naps have been welcomed. :) I completed my first time sheet today, and I'm looking forward to getting my first paycheck....hooray!!!
