It is for a job with a school district in the district offices.

Good bennies?

Yay for the nice windfall, Connie!

And go you, msbelle, for getting an application in. Also what sarameg said.

probably actually a little worse and more expensive than what I have now.

A HUGE issue with me looking for work is that my job pays really well for what I do and where I am, AND the benefits are really good. But I am super stressed almost all the time, there is more work than I can do well, I will never get along with the people, and there is no place to advance.

Stupid tx school districts. Just don't trade work stress for home financial stress. But applying is a good step! Done one, first hurdle.

yep. I probably need to stay in the private sector for the time being and just find a company that is a better fit for me.

Unrelated to the volunteer gig, I have to say how cool this is: for my clinical pathology proofreading job, I have an editorial from a doctor at Emory in Atlanta about how to deal with Ebola patients, in terms of all the clinical testing that has to be done (given that the specimens that are tested are also how the disease is transmitted [one sentence literally says "It is obvious these packages must be hand-carried to the department for testing. No specimens are to be sent in the pneumatic tube system."]). Pretty cool. I also feel a little bit like a ghoul for thinking it's cool, but hey.

Nah, it's cool! It's educational and seriously potentially life saving.

And I'm amused that hospitals still use pneumatic tubes. Meaning, they couldn't really improve on them in all this time.

"Hey Bob, it's Rita down in Pathology. Stand by for some Ebola coming your way!" "Rita, no! You have to hand-carry it to my department!"

Actually I think it is very cool that hospitals still use pneumatic tubes. I want to move to the alternate universe where mail, packages and even local freight are all routinely shipped to homes and store via pneumatic tubes.
