Our daughter scored a job, teaching ESL in Georgia -- the country. She had 10 days from acceptance to liftoff, and she had plenty of obstacles to overcome: Lack of diploma, Macbook misbehaving, etc. I shifted as much of my workload onto my partner as I could, reasonably, to have the car available to her.
In the end it all worked out, and we're all thankful. It could've been far worse.
Her copy of her diploma arrived 4 days after she left SFO. Her county medical benefits card arrive 5 days after she left. Oh, the irony: Two months off the meds and she was more like the kid we remembered vs. the drugged kid who couldn't function much. My belief is that had she still been on the meds she wouldn't be in Tbilisi, ready to launch to a small village.
And our son, after 4 months, 3 interviews, a 3rd-party background check, and innumerable phone calls, scored the job. I'm so proud of him for persevering in spite of the odds.
My loving husband got the promotion on which he's been working for over a year. And a pay grade bump. He's one of 4 inspectors in the entire C-P organization to be where he is now.
I'm so proud of them...they rock! My investment as their support is paying off, and that gives me huge satisfaction.
It's a good life!
