she was cuffed to the truth

Like, a real job. At almost a living wage. That I am capable of, and that has hours I can actually work. It's the call center for an answering service, so taking messages and forwarding them as needed. So no face to face, no on my feet, mostly evenings and overnights, and no calling people at home and bothering them, like most call centers I've worked before. Super chill work environment, they get employees staying for like 10 years, which is such a good sign. 15 minute walk from my house,and they encourage you to bring in your laptop to watch movies or do homework, whatever between calls once you've got the hang of things. Option to go remote eventually, they've had people work for them for years, and keep the job when they move across the country.

Holy shit.

I've still got to get through until I'm off training and getting full paychecks, but I'm selling tarot readings and scrounging whatever I can to stay afloat til then, and it's a lot easier with the end in sight.
