I am so happy, I got the job at Oxford University Press Canada.

It'll be part time to start - 20 hrs / week, which is what my addictions Dr. is recommending as a way to reenter the workforce without the stress of full time. But it has the potential to go full time in July / August, once the busy season for higher education publishing inventory hits, which would let me save up some money for school.

It's a combination of inventory planning, writing technical documentation on their inventory planning software / processes, and doing financial analysis, all of which I know how to do.

The best part is I'll be reporting to the president of the company who is an old friend of mine - I've known him for 16 years, so he knows my complete mental health & addictions history, which means I'll be able to take time off for rehab aftercare or pdoc appointments without a problem.

I'm hoping that this will provide a much needed boost to my confidence as I badly need a success in my life right now, as well as needing the money since my financial position was getting pretty down to the wire.
