Never give up...or forget



You see, I have been applying on and off for new jobs.  Not because I don't like my job quite the opposite.  I am grateful to my co workers and the job itself...I have learned alot!
Point being...I want to learn more, so I have randomly been applying for jobs at other facilities.  then I forget about it.
Well, low and behold...last week I had an interview.  This time I was determined to not flub the :
" What do you do when you have a problem with a co-worker?" question.
and to answer, without laughing:
..."what is your weak point?"
I practiced in the car.  I spoke out loud.  
The interview only had a few quiet times and I felt ok, but didn't put much stock into it.
Went home, cracked open a beer, yelled at the kids...you know a normal day...and forgot about it...didn't even tell anyone.
Then a few weeks or so later I got the call:
"We would like to offer you the telemetry job"

Total panic set in.  I freaked, I kept quiet, didn't tell Bobby.  Called back and asked about the benefits.  I asked what the pay was.  I did the math and made a check list.

Things happen for a reason. 
Would I have rather transferred within my own hospital to the department I want to learn?  Yes...but they wouldn't transfer me or give the chance to learn something new.

I had to change, life is change.  I vowed to keep my doors open.  I start July 25th

What I want to remind people  is if you crave change just keep trying.  Reformat and try again...and don't forget when you have applied for a job...you may just get it.

Dreamy, dream, dream...and one nightmare

I had been working on making the deck enjoyable for my summer of relaxing.  I came home from the store the other day and here is what I saw:
WTF!?
My worst Nightmare!!!!
He said it needed re done.  Grrrrr...
ok so scenario:  
The roof needs redone, the bathroom needs redone and now the porch ....needs redone.  I cant step out my backdoor without breaking an ankle.
I have moved everything out front.  made a sitting are in the front, but its not the same.  *pout pout*
As much as I love projects I equally hate them.  It puts my mind at unease....which does not allow me to sleep.   It makes me curl up and wait.
We are applying for a home equity loan so that we can maybe get all this done at once.
Then let me tell you what else needs done.
The carpet in the basement needs pulled up then the floor scrubbed and sealed
the living room painted and new furniture.

In the mean time...I'm gonna go out and sit and read and not think about it.
We go to Fl in 2 weeks.
I'm gonna think about that...
and about the dream I had last night where Justin Timberlake loved me.
Alot...
In my dream I had hoped it was SNL BeeGees Justin,
but it was this one

I'll Settle.
