I mentioned a teletherapy job opening somewhere. It is a clinic affiliated with the autism school up here that stopped all therapy services two years ago, while insisting they provide everything all of the time to everyone. Since it said teletherapy I thought I would suggest they ask the school if any students need speech therapy and then the state would pay them about 50% more.

Instead, they had someone leave with 30 clients, and they only want someone to fill that spot.

Three lies:
"Temporarily remote"--all in-clinic
"From $30 an hour"--$30 hourly regardless of experience and qualifications.
"Lexington Therapy Services is looking to hire an enthusiastic and highly motivated SLPA who is looking for a rapidly growing company that continues to add therapy services to our outpatient clinics, in-home services, and school based therapy programs"--No, clinic only, even though they don't provide therapy in-schools.

The interviewer really only asked 2 questions:
Are you going to hit on all of our female employees?
How desperate are they?!

How soon are you going to move?
For a teletherapy position?
That was when I discovered lie #1.

Thirty clients at $30 an hour would pay significantly more than I am currently getting, but with my two latest clients, who are just Base Rate, I would earn 73.7% as much--working one-third as many hours.

Those additional 20 hours each week would earn me $157.87--$7.89 hourly.

I am not abandoning my family for less than $8 an hour!

I happened to check local job openings before getting ready to see my girlfriend (but mostly work on my Accord). The local school district posted an SLPA opening again. I tried to apply last year, but they hired someone before I finished.

I guess that didn't work out!

I really should have asked my new supervisor for a letter of recommendation. Hopefully my old one still says nice things about me.

This only pays $29.395 annually, which isn't much more than I earned last year averaging 8 hours a week, but that is W-2, so it includes benefits and retirement.

Hopefully I could get a benefits waiver like Page offered. Had the VA acknowledged that I had coverage I could have saved $500 a month, not that the VA coverage is great.

Huh.

I was sick 4 times the winter of 2019-2020. I was sick 1 time the winter of 2020-2021.

Maybe if I work with kids 50 hours a week I would want good benefits, but then again, I don't remember being sick in Page.

I didn't use any sick days!

Anyway, I just need to finish finding documents, request my 39-month driving record, submit, and then get ready to drive down.
