Night Elf Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 I wanted my volunteer job with the Humane Society Thrift Store to turn into a paying job. The employee I helped went out for back surgery and was supposed to be gone for 6 weeks. I increased my hours to take over the department. The director decided to pay me while the employee is gone. On Saturday, she talked to me again and said she didn't know when the employee would return and when she did return, the director didn't know at what capacity she'd be able to work. It's a physical job. So she's going to keep me on as her assistant. As a paid position! We didn't talk about hours except that I'd start going in every Saturday to whittle down donations so when we got there on Tuesday mornings (the store is closed Sunday and Monday), we wouldn't be so overwhelmed. So I don't know if I'll continue with the 16 hours or not but even if it drops down to 10, I'll be happy. I just wanted to make a little money to help pay some of my college dd's expenses. She doesn't drive so takes many Ubers and Lyfts. Those add up! Anyway, I'm so happy! 44 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Night Elf Posted July 9, 2018 Author Share Posted July 9, 2018 Thanks everyone. As soon as she talked to me and walked away, I thought of posting my news to this board. ? But I came home and got distracted and forgot about it until today. Lots going on in my life lately, but I'm happy. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris in VA Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 I think it's wonderful! As a person who knows her way around a thrift store as a customer, let me just say I REALLY appreciate when they are well-organized and clean. Thanks for the service you provide as it helps many. ❤️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unsinkable Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Way to go!! This is inspiring! It should be "stickied" so all the moms who are looking to get "back" into the paying workforce can get a boost of inspiration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
