Icy got a new job!!!
I know this isn’t really related to this page, but it’s a big milestone and I wanted to share it with you all ♥
As many of you know I have been working for a police department for ~ three and a half years (one and a half of that on overnight) and while I love parts of my job I very strongly dislike others and it is not something I personally wanted to do long-term.
I’ve been (semi) actively looking for a job for about the past four years in my field, but I have always been told after the interview in feedback I “just don’t have enough experience” and my own Village, when I went for an admin assistant job, told me I was “too personable” (whoops ;p). It’s been a hard few years of being told no, not enough, without any direction on how to be what they are looking for and most of my avenues cut off as I am not allowed to freelance in the area due to my position with my current Village.
But all things happen for a reason and I have accepted a new position, set to start in late May (trying to give my police department as much time as possible to begin hiring as it can take six months) with a different Village where I will be in charge of all of their writings, newsletters, social media and community pages and, not so fun, a host of administrative duties as well.
This is one of the most personable, laid-back, kind organizations (government or otherwise) I’ve ever seen and I’m so excited to be a part of it. And one of the best parts? I will be back to normal people hours and no more overnights!~ That does, however, mean my rate of writing will be slowing as I won’t have the free hours overnight anymore to do so (I damn well better be sleeping ;p).
But yes. Icy has a new job, a career really that I can see myself retiring in 35 years down the road (dear God) and I’m just so so so excited to begin this new journey and step in my life! ♥
