re: #34 Blind Frog Belly White

OT, the Older Boy now has a job. Sure, it’s Courtesy Clerk at Safeway, but we’re hoping it motivates him to do something better.

This weekend he pulled an 8-hr shift on Saturday ending at 10:45PM, and Sunday starting at 11:30. A little too close, IMO. He was really feeling down on Sunday morning - “I’m not sure I can do this.” So I spent all day worrying about it - could he even hold down a job at Safeway?

Picked him up yesterday evening, and he was in a great mood - he’d finally picked up his paychecks. Over $200, since he hadn’t picked up any during his first 3 weeks of work!

It’s amazing what a difference actually being paid makes.

Awesome to hear. I know how tough it is first hand getting jobs on the spectrum. I’m hoping I land my break in with the Feds soon so I can start saving to get my own place.
