Well now I'm in a quandry - and both excited and anxious.

The museum called. They have a position they want me to apply for. Sounds like it's mine if I want it. It's weekends only. Has a lot of responsibility though. At least I would be working on my own. The position is taking 'old time' photos at the museum.

Gosh, I'm not sure what to say or do. It's been a long time since I worked. Yes, the volunteering was intended as a stepping stone to one day working again but I did not expect it so quickly.

Truth is I'm terrified. How will this affect my assistance? I know they allow for part-time work as a way to encourage you to get back in the work force. but I am afraid of two things:

1. being denied benefits altogether; and
2. failure and being stuck without benefits.
