End of a busy week (and a half).
On Friday I had an interview at the Disability Services Commission for the once-weekly admin job. I had been waiting for a few months for the interview to happen so I wasn’t really worried about it. Their office is a couple of suburbs north from where I live and I had been there before a few years ago so I thought I would remember where it is. On the way there I realised I didn’t remember it anymore. 
I did get there just a few minutes late (and was very stressed out in the car when I knew this was going to happen - I don’t like being late for anything) but I don’t think it was noticed.
The interview went well, I really couldn’t ask for better employers because they are all LACs (Local Area Coordinators). There are three of them there, so all three of them interviewed me at the same time. I was shown and told what I would be doing. Some of it involves me ringing various organisations to order some pamphlets. I was asked if I would mind doing that. I said yes but it would be good for me to use the phone - the more I avoid it the worse I get. I will also be sorting out the stationery and supplies room which I think I will enjoy as I like putting things in order. I will start there on Tuesday at 9am and will work for three hours. 
After the interview was over, we had a discussion about autism for an hour. I am really starting to feel good about answering questions on this topic even though it is all my point of view. It was suggested that I give talks on autism/me and autism to other people and I said that is what I hope to be doing in the near future.
Wow, what an ego boost. 
Have had a few ups and downs with moods but I think it is hormones and also the stress of a really busy week last week and half the week before (confusing).
Looking after parent’s house went well. Only things were the cat losing his collar and the pool going a bit acidic, I didn’t know what to do about that.
GA and I had a psychologist appointment and that went well. I asked about what/how the uni talk/speech would be happening and part of it will involve answering questions while being taped on camera. I don’t like the sound of my voice and so probably will try not to see the finished product! I was really tired because I had to drive there straight from TAFE where we had worked in the rain for part of the day.
Speaking of which, we haven’t had the average amount of rainfall for May yet. It has drizzled and sprinkled a fair bit but rain like that doesn’t register in the rain gauge. Hopefully it will pour on Wednesday because I will be inside at TAFE that day. It can rain a lot on Saturday too because I won’t be doing anything that day either.
