Adam Got a Job

Yes, I now have a summer job (and have, in fact, had it for two weeks now). I'm working at a place called the Creative Centre Society - Cheamview Clubhouse for 35 hours a week, 9-4, Mon-Fri. Basically the place is a daytime clubhouse for people with mental illnesses to go and get support. I can't say much, as I agreed to keep the clients information confidential, but it's not a "nuthouse" like some might think. They aren't violent there, and most of the patients actually seem quite normal (their biggest complaints are about arthritis and how their grandchildren live too far away). The age range is also quite varied, but again, it's not like "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest" or anything. It's only a day centre for them to get together, socialize, and rehabilitate, so no one lives there and no one is "committed". If any of them turn for the worse, then they get transferred to a different place. It's a good job, where I do a variety of things (better than flipping burgers). This might put a hamper on my weekday hiking availability, but hopefully Eric and I can convince Mike to come out some weekend ;)
