Friday Freeday: Turning in My Badge

Good morning!

I am writing this Thursday night so I can celebrate and catch up on blog reading Friday at my last 6 hours of working as a temp!

It's been a JOURNEY. From graduating and moving back home with no job in my field in sight, to quitting a job I absolutely hated, to five weeks of stressing as to where my next job was coming from, Kelly Services has really been great, giving me work for three years straight. Being assigned for the state the last two, I know a lot of people in the Division of Developmental Disabilities Services will miss me, and I'll miss some of them, too. But someone else finally picked me up for something that isn't temp work. I'll have a real income, with money I can live on comfortably!

This is the start of great things to come. I can feel it. :)

Hello, my name is Krystol and I'm a writer as well!
I can relate. I did the same thing 6 months ago and started doing freelance writing gigs and any writing gig I could find. Luckily, I just started an internship, and I write novels for people. I know you may not want to be home ( I didn't either), but it could be a blessing in disguise.
