Back from a weekend trip to Edmonton. Had an early birthday party for my soon-to-be four year old niece, and a surprise "good luck" party for her parents (my brother and sister-in-law) as they prepare to move to the Toronto area (Waterloo, actually).

On Friday, I got offered a job at the casino, customer service rep. I had applied for slot attendant, thinking the ash responsibility would be more money. I turned it down, for what thye offered in pay, wasn't worth the health rosks and discomfort of the smoky environment.

The community rehab place also called, but I am having so many doubts about it. Personally, I don't think the offer of on-the-job training will be enough to prepare me to work with developmentally-challenged adults, I really don't. I know that they must be confident or they wouldn't offer it to me, but I am not so sure. Also not sure that I am the right person to do this kind of work. There is also the factor that if I take it, the first job that comes along that is higher pay/lower stress/more career potential, I will take it. No question. I don't want to leave any employer that would actually offer me a job in a position where I take it and leave it, especially something as important as community work. Lower jobs for minimum wage, well, no real loyalty there, but I don't want to treat a good organization unfairly.

Applying for more today..will see what happens.
