I finally have something to say.

You would think that, with being jobless, I would have had oodles of time to do mindless things like drone on endlessly in the blogosphere, to no one in particular, about the mundane details of my life. And I have. Had oodles of time, that is. But what I also found is that I've had very little to say. The mundane details just seemed too. . .well, mundane, which is why I seemed to have gone M.I.A. as of late.

But now. . .NOW, I have something to say. An announcement of sorts. Are you ready? Are you sitting down? Good, 'cause here it is:

I HAVE A JOB!!!!

That's right. Grizzbabe is BACK! Back in the coal mines with the rest of you slobs, slaving away like a migrant worker. No more living off the government dole for me. No sirree. I gots me a payin' gig!

Where am I working you ask?

In the interest of anonymity and all that, let's just say I'm working as an administrative assistant for a non-profit organization that specializes in mentoring children.

How did I get this job you query?

(A bunch of nosy fuckers!)

Good old-fashioned networking. (I'm living proof that it's not just what you know it's who you know.)

A few weeks ago, I mentioned to my associate pastor that I would be interested in volunteering for a non-profit until I could secure full-time employment. Having been a former Executive Director in the non-profit arena, she tossed a few contact names my way and, within a week, I was volunteering at two organizations, one in the morning and the other in the afternoon.

I started on a Monday and by Thursday, both organizations had expressed an interest in hiring me part-time with one position having the potential of going full-time. Well, once the organization that wanted to eventually hire me permanently found out about my other volunteer activities, a full-time offer was put on the table, which I accepted.

And I am so grateful. Grateful to be working again, but also to be helping a great bunch of people to advance such a worthy cause.

How does this affect The Boyfriend and I's marriage plans?

Good question. I'll let you know when we figure it out.
