Joining the working ranks

Oct 10, 2013

I found out yesterday afternoon that I got the job I interviewed for this week! I knew that if I could just get to that working interview I could show an office how knowledgeable I am and how well I interact with patients. 

Most of the ladies that work at this office have been there for years and years. This made me really interested in this position. It shows they have a healthy and productive work environment. Stable comes to mind. It made it a very sweet deal. 

Just have a Tuberculosis test this morning and as soon as we have those results my boss directed me to call for my first day of training. I should be working by early next week! It still feels a little unreal - the first paycheck may send the message home that I'm now working to improve my family's future. The list of expenses is long and with three teenagers it's just getting longer as we approach proms and graduations and college! We still won't be rolling in the money but my contributions will make everything a lot better. I'm still a little amazed that we made it almost 7 years on one income. We've come a long way. 

5/10/2013 - 9/10/2013 98 lbs lost and job attained. Also: Previous Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick was sentenced to 28 years in prison today. I'm sad for his children but happy for Detroit. Nice strong message that people will not get away with taking advantage of their positions at the citizens' expense. I wonder what the next five months will bring.
