Regaining A Sense Of Purpose

Hello Everyone: I spent part of my afternoon at the recruiter's office,taking care of some onboarding stuff. The big thing was getting fingerprinted because whatever school district I end up in requires it, even if I work remotely. Actually, the state I live in requires it for anyone working anywhere near or at a school. Fine, whatever. At least I'd didn't have to pay for it. It's really happening, I'm employed again and I like it. Mostly I like to work. It gives me a sense of purpose and the steady paycheck is nice. Some people just work for the money and that's ok but I reckon that I'm getting paid regardless so I might as well enjoy it. Telling people that they tested positive for COVID is not enjoyable but it is a necessary job. The flip side is telling people that they can leave isolation/quarantine because they tested negative. I just hope I don't get any crazies spouting off on conspiracy theories, quack treatments, and politics. My plan is not to engage them and just focus on the call. I was chatting with the Brit BF, still no word about his pitches. He figures it'll be another couple of weeks before he hears anything but I have a good feeling about them. As long as there isn't an exclusivity clause in either contract (if one is offered), then he'll probably sign two production deals and finally come back for good. There's still the matter of his visa but that's what lawyers are for. As for me, I can finally start to breathe again and start to enjoy my weekends again. I'm so looking forward to having a sense of purpose. Who knows where the contact tracer job could lead?
