It's so exciting when things come together. This organization focuses on moving people from housing vouchers to self sufficiency- either through employment or education. Which is where I come in- send them to me and let me help them graduate! Of course, the program could also be beneficial for some of our students getting housing assistance because they offer a cash incentive to move them in that direction (self sufficiency). So it's definitely a win-win.
I drove back to the office blasting music and singing (screeching) at the top of my lungs, I was so pumped about the prospect of this partnership. In addition to working with them, they also shared some other state programs that would be beneficial to get connected to, so good things are bound to come out of this.
Of course I was also thinking about what I said and how socially awkward I am...I'm just so dorky! But I didn't let that drown my excitement.
Know what's not exciting? Writing a grant that I'm not qualified to write...really struggling here. It doesn't help that I don't have any work space at home. Hard to concentrate when Barbershop is on and I'm planted right in front of the tv. I really have to wait until everyone is asleep before I can get a good workflow so I'm burning the midnight oil getting it done. Or trying to get it done, anyway.
And then, of course, I jump on the internet and play as a distraction. Anything to avoid doing the thing I need to do the very most!
