I appreciate all the love and support. The next two days at work went so smoothly. In spite of the difficulties, I am learning so much stuff I never knew before about Word 2013, Excel, and now we are on Access. So far I am passing the computer class.
I am 54 years old and this is the first computer class I have ever taken. All my life I learned what I had to learn on a computer to just function. I never had a formal computer class. I am back in school for the first time in over 20 years. I consider it a privilege to be able to go to school.
Last spring I left a job that was literally making me severely depressed to take on a job in a different field. The new job did not work out and I found myself unemployed. There I was at rock bottom. I found I qualified for the low income mental health clinic so I finally got treatment for a two year long depression. I had been wanting to go to accounting school for ten years so here was my opportunity. I was surprised and pleased that I qualified for a pell grant. At the beginning of 2016 I had the opportunity to take a part-time job at a dry cleaning store where I had worked from 2004 to 2010. I accepted the job. It doesn't pay much but it is much less stressful than the work I was doing before.
Last night I had a dream that I was working at the old stressful job and the boss there was giving me a bad time about something I had no control over. In the dream I also knew I had to leave that job in the afternoon to go to my job at the dry cleaners. In this dream I was considering quitting the bad job. It is strange what we dream. I need to get bad memories out of my head and look forward to good things.
