My paychecks came in the mail today. They included wages for the days that were delayed in getting the money to me, as stated by the Labor Law. I also spoke to the corporate trainer who had come out from Tennessee and she was incredibly supportive. She affirmed me in my feelings, shared in my disappointment towards the family and told me that if their way of doing business continues, they will be shut down within 6 months. Unfortunately, her role in the company is limited as she faces her own obstacles with the CEO, so there wasn't much she could do for me in terms of corporate help but it was really good to reconnect with her. She and I had developed a good bond for the week that she was out here and is the only decent and honest person in the whole company.
I feel the tension starting to leave my body today. I will move on from this - stronger, smarter. I definitely take employment and the search for an employer much more seriously now. Another heart break, another lesson learned. A better self.
For the time being, I'm moonlighting as a baby-sitter, possible nanny. I never take the idea of being involved in children's lives as a career. Somehow, I don't feel the ah-ha!, tunnel vision, in order to make those academic and professional decisions. I know that I just love little kids and they touch a part of my soul that nothing else can. For most of my life now, I have been in some position to care for and teach children. There's weight in that. Have I been in denial? Or not fully aware of the one thing that's always been a part of me? So, maybe? A Masters in Early Childhood Development? Maybe.
Things to keep thinking about.
