Got a call from the prison contractor this morning and they made an offer for the PRN position. Only $23.50 an hour but that's good for this area.
It is also considerably more than the plasma center. I basically had no hopes of getting 40 hours a week there. If I had, I would still make less money working 40 hours there than if I work 32 hours a week at the new job. If I work 40 hours a week, it would be $800 a month more than the same number of hours at the plasma center. So the pay difference has the potential to be enormous. Plus I may (not sure yet) have more control over my schedule.
This job has better benefits, also. More time off, better insurance, etc.
In any case, they have not given me a start date. Background check not completed yet. The office called and told them my application is a priority because I submitted for so many facilities and show flexibility. It always helps to be flexible.
Still kills me I can buy a deadly weapon and get a background check in roughly 10 minutes. To enter lockdown facilities unarmed and provide medical care takes days. WTF? They're probably checking my social media. lol! They better get ready to get a headache. As far as safety, I'm no threat at all. As far as corporate propaganda, they will hate me.
I put a rotation of pictures on the TV from when Emily was younger. I am in some of those pictures. Been looking and realized how bad I looked at the time. Fatigue from working so much. Too much alcohol. Stress from the relationship with the ex. Illness which I did not completely know I had. I did have a small idea because I kept having pain similar to chronic or recurrent appendicitis but my WBC was fine. That was what turned out to be UC.
In all, I wonder what condition I would be in now if I had remained in that relationship. The honest truth is that I may not have been alive now. Because I was literally killing myself and didn't know it. My body was falling apart. I would have been in much worse emotional condition then if not for my daughter. Still, there is definite emotional scarring from that time in my life.
Much better off in many respects now. Especially with my health. Also far more emotionally stable. lol! may not seem that way at times. But I do have emotions and cannot deny they are there.
