snoggedThe executive director at the Pauquette Center was finally able to respond to me and while the news isn't totally gumdrops and flowers, it's also not an apocalypse.
I still have a job. I still don't have a start date.
Here's a brief outline of what I was told:
1) They're still trying to fill the occupational therapist position.
2) Although Elissa will be building on her outpatient practice, another therapist (Lee) will be stepping in to pick up the time.
3)There cannot be a definitive start date until the state delivers a certificate to them stating that the program is approved and credentialed.
4) After the certificate is received, they can start applying to third-party vendors/insurance companies for approval for funding.
From the way it sounds, he would love to give me a start date, but it's out of his hands as there are a lot of third parties holding the purse strings.
I also realize that it may sound weird, but even though things are still in a holding pattern, my mental health has improved knowing that this is what the BOSS knows and that he's on the fish hooks just like I am.
