So I have an interview today with Synergy for an overnight (3 nights a week) position in their DV shelter and I'm so nervous I want to die. I probably doesn't help that I just had a huge vanilla latte, but whatever. I'm really afraid that the woman at the interview won't like me and that I'll say something stupid and she'll be homophobic and won't like that I work for GLSEN and I'll say something stupid and she'll realize I have no practical experience in regard to working in a shelter aside from the fact that ALL of my friends have done it and then I'll say something stupid. Crap.
Whew...I feel better.
Jill - I wish you were here to talk me down from the gaddamn ledge. How are you? I wish you would blog, but I understand. Do you care if I use you for a reference?
In other, far more important news, Emily is in the hospital with an infection. Cancer and chemo are stupid. You would think, with our ability as a nation to blow up other nations and all, we would have come up with an alternative to treating cancer that DOES NOT INCLUDE THE COMPLETE DESTRUCTION OF YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM! Christ.

You should put my old supervisor at Synergy as a reference, considering she works there and you know her.
I love you. Good luck with the job. And I love you (again).
Um, so I got this a little late, but apparently you didn't need any talking down from the ledge. You did great! They called me as your reference and I said all sorts of glowing things about you (as Jane the elder always says - don't ever tell her I called her that, I just wanted you to know I didn't mean Janie). Let me know what you hear back from them/when you start! Now I'm the only one not working at a shelter! You're going to do great and most importantly, you'll love the work and they'll love you.
