A new job in behavioral health

Charlie Brown · Post by **Charlie Brown** » Thu Sep 25, 2008 4:14 pm

I just received an email for a job offer for an insurance company that focuses on behavioral health!! Oh the sweet irony of it!

I am so pleased because I am finally getting out of my prison job--and no I don't mean I work in a correctional facility; I work in an office that you have to ask to go to the bathroom, hence the term prison.

I am also happy that I will now work in a field where I have personal expertise (through myself and my friend's anxiety and depression) and perhaps have job satisfaction (which I've never had in my 20+ years in the work force.)

That's so terrific good for you! I'm sure not every day will be "pockets full of sunshine" but..this is a long time comming for you and imagine working in a place that focuses on behavioral health. There just has to be good caring people there, and clients too! And you will make such a difference for many people. Congratulations. Soak it up!To go to work at a place where I feel I make a difference, that sounds like a dream come true.

miamikittycat,

Thanks for the reply. You're defnitely right it won't be sunshiny every day but I am so happy. 10 months having to ask to go the bathroom has been degrading. I've bosses who were SOBs and I never had to ask them.

Believe me, I am soaking it up. I like helping others with anxiety and depression because I know firsthand these ailments.

Thanks again.

Hi Charlie Brown:
Congratulations!!!!
Very good!

I had to smile when you sort of described your former job. I once worked in a place where you had to ask to go to rest room. If your pencil broke or wore out you had to raise you hand and ask for a pencil - the supervisor brought a new one to you.
But that job helped me support my children. And I lived in a beautiful place then. Bouler, Colorado.
I had other jobs after that.
Now I am retired - been retired for awhile.

Wishing you great contentment on this new job.
Happy days!
MJ

P.S. OOOPS!
I was in Boulder, CO. at that time.
Sorry for misspelling!

Thanks Cornflower.

10 points off for the misspelling. LOL.

You had to ask to go to the bathroom, too?

If your pencil broke or wore out you had to raise you hand and ask for a pencil - the supervisor brought a new one to you.

OMG!
