Life or Something Like It

Life SHOULD NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well- preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally WORN out and screaming "WOO HOO - WHAT A RIDE!!!"

Dialysis

Remember that dream job I said I applied for a few posts ago?

I GOT IT !!!!!!!!!!

Yay Me!!!!!!!

You honestly don't know how happy I am. I am so thrilled. 2 miles from home, in the Arcadia area that I love, my neighborhood, dayshift, no more being gone from the kids at night, sleeping next to my Royce every night, and very importantly - THE HELL OUT OF THE HOSPITAL SETTING!!!!! No more floor nursing. No more med/surg. I was SOOOOO burnt on my job. I was really having an internal crisis and hating my life. This changes everything. I will keep my one registry for extra money - but still will work only days. Every other weekend is a 3 day weekend. Profit sharing, 401, $10,000.00 retention bonus over 3 years - it really hasn't sunk in yet. Everyone here is so happy. I drove the kids there a little while ago so they could see how close it was to home. It was empty and locked. Lyndsey - girl of few words - said "is it closed?" I said "Yes, they aren't open at night. No more nights for me." She said "You won't have to sleep in the mornings anymore?" I said "Nope." Just the look on her face is worth everything.

I actually won't be at that exact location until like September cause they will be giving me 12 weeks of training at other places. 12 weeks - wow. And I will be learning a new skill, dialysis, that I can take with me anywhere, and be submersed in it and really get good at it. 12 weeks. Thats what I got when I started OB. It seems like they really care about their employees and their patients. Wow, what a concept.

And I also feel like I will really be part of helping people. In a very acute important way. These are really sick people, they can't miss a day of dialysis or they will die very shortly after it. So I will be part of something satisfying like that again. Haven't felt that way in the hospital for a long time. The hospital setting has turned into the fucking methadone/rehab ward. No thank you.

So FUCK Maria and County. I will never go back now.

I am so very excited. Just had to wallow in my happiness here a little.

I know I'm qualified, and have credentials, and experience. And that has alot to do with it. But I did a spell to help me get this job on this last Full Moon. I very focused, intense, meaningful spell. Then I just waited - like I've been told is the right thing to do. Just wait and let energy and Spirit do their things.

Thank you Spirit.

So very very very very much.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...................................
