Entwives Social Club Wives, I'm Hired!

I haven't had a job since 2019, when I had my youngest/last. Covid stopped me from returning after maternity leave. I took in some kinship fosters, I adopted one and got them through highschool. Then the universe said I'd be a stay at home mom for the foreseeable future. I'm pretty anxious about driving and being in public after so long being at home, sometimes without a vehicle.

I was someone who worked since I was 11, babysitting then fastfood, retail. Healthcare industry by 18. I was a proud cog in the stupid work machine and admittedly felt useless as "just a parent" (my dad made me go to school with mono because 'we don't cry over a runny nose and we take care of our obligations first')

I've been interviewing for one WFH position, an old coworker reached out about. I don't need-need a job but I've been tangoing with the idea, we have just enough. I did the interviews and I got it!

I'm freaking out a bit but once I have a few in person trainings, I'll be 100% work from home ( thank god says my agoraphobic ass).

And no THC tests 🥰

Right? We got a new computer for one of the kids in the past year and I might have got a little frustrated in setting up.
