I have surely neglected this thing, but I guess it wasn't really the first thing on my mind. Life has been hectic with my new position at work. I am still working as a mental health therapist, but am also helping coordinate a substance abuse program. It has been busy thus far, but I am happy to be given more responsibility and I am hoping it will ( Read more... )

I thought I could update this thing while simultaneously venting, because at this point I feel like putting my fist through a wall. ARGGH! Job searching is like having a job and it is so frustrating. I just want to find a job close to my house, with decent pay and not the exact same thing I am doing now. Apparently those jobs don't exist. Just this ( Read more... )

Summer has been busy and hectic, but I have been able to do a lot of fun things ( Read more... )

Wow, I guess I took a much longer hiatus from lj than I thought. Well, life has been hectic and it has not exactly been a priority.

Because I only worked three days last week due to the storm on Monday and my test on Friday I thought the week would drag. I am getting really excited about my vacation to Virigina Beach to see my family, except I have no money! I needed (ok wanted) to buy ( Read more... )

So I am pleased to say I took my LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Work) exam today and I passed! I have to say though, it was the most anxiety provoking time of my life. You take the test on a computer and it tells you right away if you passed or failed. Except in between when you finish your test and they give you your results they make you take a ( Read more... )

I need a vacation so bad! T-minus one month and counting.

Although this year is really just beginning I have so many big plans already!! I have finally scheduled my test for my license in early March so we will keep our fingers crossed for that momentous occasion. I will be going on vacation at the end of March since I have not taken one and have been at BHN close to eight months. I am burned out and ( Read more... )
