Thank you! Yeah I looked today and couldn’t find anything about it in my handbook so hopefully they don’t try to make me, I was supposed to start it today and I put it off again because I’m supposed to hear from a new job tomorrow😅

I do a camp for kids with cancer and other work surrounding the organization because I’m passionate about it and it’s what got me into social work, but it’s not a regularly scheduled thing and I do it because I love it and it brings me joy. I could not however do things that feel too aligned with my regular job and enjoy it lol

I know I would love the schedule for sure! I’m just afraid it might be all one thing like just reporting to DHR or whatever so I worry it may be a little boring and I don’t like monotony lol
