Good news: I currently have a new, better-paying job thatās closer to family. As a bonus, Iāll no longer be completely surrounded by Confederate, Donāt Tread On Me, and Trump flags. (Not to mention that one barn mural that has motorcycle-riding BFFs Trump and Jesus toting AK-47s.)
Bad news: Moving is the worst. Also, Iād forgotten how much the process of learning my new managerās and coworkersā moods and expectations wears me out. And when we enter winter, Iāll be lucky if I ever see the sun thanks to my work hours. Yay?
Also, I really hope the person in my old position is able to continue the connections I made with queer kids in the community. They desperatelyĀ need the support and theyāre understandably wary of most adults.Ā
