The Future

So Jennifer would like to see a blog about the parking enforcement in her building.....i must say i am not a fan at the moment as i did receive a $40 ticket even after i actually registered. The funny thing is, i usually don't. I made the effort this time with one minor mistake I mucked up one # in my plate so technically my fault however they do not have to be such assholes about it. I wish i had a tale for you Jennifer of how i was able to get the parking man to swear at me :) but alas i do not. I've decided to dispute the ticket....it will be in the mail tomorrow. I did almost manage to have one of my clients swear at me this evening.......but that's nothing new comes with the territory of Social Work.

It does however leave me to ponder my future. I applied for a new job within my agency....but now i'm truly thinking of beginning again in a different field and not even going through with the interview. I'm not nor have i ever been thrilled with my job there and having a different position with essentially the same tasks....well obviously a lot more involved.... is not something i see in my future. So what to do what to do.

I'm going to look at a few different options. I've toyed around with the idea of Dental School for a Level 1 and 2 Assistant....I mean come on, you get to wear sneakers and scrubs all day what could be better? There's just that minor detail regarding math and science hahaha not my strong points, but i do have a willing teacher to guide me through it. I'm not sure he's aware of just how hard he'll have to work his ass off to help me.

Perhaps i'll finally get off my butt and go to Australia for a year on a visa....I'll be giving Nathan a call shortly to pick his brain and get some details on how fabulous the whole experience was for him.

And Jennifer, if they refuse to pull up my file and tell me that i still have to pay it.....you may just hear some swearing...though i'm not sure it will be from the ticket man.

Oh Princess....

Such decisions. I remember that day in hamilton when J told us how much she makes doing that...it senough to make anyone want to run away and join a dental assistant program.

Aide position huh? they offered you an interview...that's AWESOME. But I know, youve always said that you dont want to work where you are, and I honestly dont blame you...those fuckers that locked me in.

Anyway, we'll discuss it this weekend....

I think you should go for the interview. Even if the job doesn't thrill you, you could take it for a while, get better hours and better pay and the experience, then you'd have some money to do all these other things when you are ready. And if you don't get the job, then no big deal you are still free to go do the other stuff.

I do agree with you in a way Jennifer. Perhaps i should do the interview and if i get the job fine and if not then i can be on my way. Ahhhhh i hate decisions .... I just don't know that i want to be in this field for another year. The dental program does not begin until April so i have plenty of time to save up $.

Seems to be that going to the interview doesn't require you to make a descision, it leaves all the options open. Then if you need to make a decision, you'll have more time to think about it.
