I GOT THE JOB!
fiiiinally, a month after my interview, i was officially offered (and accepted) the position today. jeez, what a long, tedious process that was. first, it took nearly a week between my interview and being contacted by human resources. then, my references were all on vacation. once they'd checked out, i had to wait on a background check. i was really happy today when i got the email that made it all real. i had to sign a bunch of stuff and provide some certification information, which i dropped off at the hospital this afternoon. my start date is april 7th. i don't know much beyond that, they'll email me a schedule asap. right now all i know is that i'll be in the 7th-9th, and any other info will follow once hr has coordinated some stuff.
despite knowing that the position was mine to lose for a while now, it feels like such a weight lifted, knowing that i'm actually employed again. it's only casual, and i really don't know what that means for this hospital (but i'm hoping for a lot of hours over summer, as vacation coverage). it's great just to have my foot in the door, and they're unionized, so i know that as long as i do my job well, i'll be in line for any openings and promotions as they come up.
my base wage is less than i was making in toronto, which i fully expected, but because i'm being paid a percentage in lieu of beneftis, and vacation time, it actually works out to more money. i have benefits thru josh's job, so at this point i'd rather have that money in lieu anyway.
it's been a weird/long few months - i've worked part time since i was 16, and full time since the moment i graduated college. i didn't realize how useless i'd feel not working for a few months. if we didn't have sophie, i really don't know what i would have done with myself. i'd like to say thank you to the wonderful bloopers who have offered encouragement and support, via comments, social media, mental good vibes, whatever - you guys have been more helpful than you know!
and now because she's trying to add to this entry by way of mashing the keyboard with her head, here's a picture to show you how much sophie's grown. the top left is the day we brought her home. bottom right was taken a few days ago.

What great news about the job! I had a good feeling about it, but it must have been tough waiting so long.

Sophie is HUGE!
