    Doing well

    After years of not having a steady income, and dealing with the pandemic lockdown, things are definitely better!

    I got a job that started at the beginning of this month. I get some nifty benefits and paid vacation. They treat me like a person - I know you can all relate to that. I'm not used to it, but I love it. I have a flexible work schedule, and the day I started, everyone welcomed me to the company and even called me to let me know how glad they are that I'm there!

    When I applied for the job, I just did the online application and didn't think much about it. Then I got an interview, and the HR manager let me know the benefits I'd be getting if I worked there. After a second interview, I got an offer, which I took.

    At around the same time, I got tons of work from one of my freelance clients. So, when I issue an invoice for them, yeah, it'll be big.

    AND!

    I finally decided to go back to school and get a degree, which I don't yet have. I'm working towards my bachelor's. I found a good American university and they accepted me (yay!), so I just finished my first year there. I should graduate next year (my academic record was such that I entered the university as a junior).

    I just looked at my grades for the term. Not one of them was below 95%.

    Yay me!

        That is wonderful! God, I wish I could get the only social media I still use to work on my wifi coldspot. Congratulations are entirely due!

              Congrats Eireann! Great to feel like a person. I get surprised when I'm treated like a person.
              Time! Time! Time is what turns kittens into cats.

              Don't teach me a lesson; all I learn is that you are an asshole.
