Well, today was his last day of state-mandated education. Meaning, for me, ... I'M FREE !!! No more horribly early mornings, no more taking him to school, no more half-hour lunch hours because the other half has been picking him up and getting him home. Whew!
Also, today was his interview for a "volunteer" position at the non-profit computer joint I mentioned. He was hired on the spot. Wednesday and Friday, 2:00-5:00. It's volunteer, but for him it's more an internship, as whether he ends up working there as a paid employee (which I really doubt, from the sheer number of volunteers they have on staff) or somewhere else, the time spent there will be for him a resume-starting and experience-getting experience.
And though "non-faith based", the place did begin with churchy sorts, leading the founder to say this in the website's "About Us" section:
"Through the years, I've heard through the grapevine that some people think it is necessary to prey when they come in for help -- and that's not true, though people are welcome to of course. We're like any other public nonprofit -- we try to keep people's personal beliefs private. Thank you."
I told Everett I'm going to have to email them someday about the typo. "Prey" in a paragraph about a business greatly populated with Christians, is not a good thing.
