I have a bad habit of wishing I could adopt every child, employ every jobless and desperate adult, give away all my blankets and pillows, etc. It's very difficult for me to not get emotionally invested. This job is killing me slowly 
I know that feel with all the horrible shit I have seen children in broken homes I just wanna adopt them all and get them outta those places

I meant to ask, is the whole national park thing seasonal, or did you just change jobs?

I changed jobs, a little over a year ago. More pay, benefits, etc. I miss working at the Preserve, but it wasn't a career for me, it was getting back on my feet here after the recession of 08 claimed my job as a district mgr. The first year I was seasonal, after that I was year-round.

Haha I have never been there myself but when Kwik Chek took over they tried to come over to my bank where the rest of the Kwik Chek locations use but after a few drives the manager asked to go back to the other bank because it was too hard getting over here every day. Next time I drive up to Marble Falls I will hafta PM you to see if you are working so I can stop in and say hi.

I was a chef for 10 years.
This year I did a cert III in aged care/ disability/ community service.
So now I'm working in an aged care home.
Next year I'm applying for community aged or disability care.
I've always wanted to work as the guy who looks after lighthouses when the lighthouse keeper goes on holidays.
