So, I was complaining about my job last week... and yesterday we found out that our center will be closing, for good. Apparently, the building we are occupying is in need of major repair, and the church we rent from has made the decision not to go ahead of repairs. Plus, the catholic school system here decided we were not a profitable venture (which I don't understand... aren't schools non-profit organizations?), so they decided to completely eliminate the early childhood program. It really broke my heart, knowing how many families are desperate for child care now. I know for a fact we are one of very few infant programs in the city, so parents were scrambling to find care for their children.
So now, I am on the scramble to find a new job. We do get unemployment, but it's through the Diocese and not the state, so it's not quite as much as I need. So I am praying that I will find another job before the month is up. I have already applied a few places, and one of my friends just tipped me about a job, so I will be calling about that tomorrow. My boss is very understanding, I'm just afraid that all of our families will leave, and there won't even be enough kids to keep us employed for the rest of the month.
Ah, life. It's full of surprises, isn't it?
Yikes! Best of luck and I will keep an eye out for you. Things will work out!
