A Peck of Gold

Joining the Ranks of The Employed

I mentioned a few weeks ago that I interviewed for a job that I really wanted. I found out today, I got it! What a nice feeling that is. The job is a unit secretary position in the labor and delivery department of a hospital. It's 3p-11, and it's very close to home. I'll be doing a lot of chartwork and computer things, plus directing people/ answering phones, etc. Some people find that kind of work tedious, but I actually enjoy it. I love being organized, and I'll admit that probably makes me somewhat of a nerd. But, it also makes a job like this perfect for me.

I have mixed feelings about it. Mostly, I am very excited to be getting back to work. It's been four years since I had a "real" job, so I'm looking forward to a change. On the other hand, it's a little hard to divide myself from my kids. I've had the luxury of staying home with them this whole time, and I will miss them, and Patrick, too. The good thing though, is that with this schedule, the kids won't have to go to any kind of childcare center. If they aren't with me, they'll be with Patrick, and that will be good for all of them.

So, that's my latest news. I don't think this will affect my blogging much, but it's hard to tell at this point. We'll just have to see how things go, I guess.

All for now!
