every time I turn around//I'm looking up, you're looking down

So, I have been working here, at this hole-in-the-wall doctor's office in Tacoma with pale blue walls, for nine days now. Tomorrow makes ten! When the Physical Therapist called me, I had no idea that there were actually as many as three physical therapists plus one assistant, a hand therapist, and a massage therapist working at one time here. They all have busy schedules chalk full of apointments, and at the end of each one they throw paper work at me. I never even got trained!

As it turns out, the guy who hired me for these two weeks thought I had a degree and a lot more experience than I actually do. I'm wondering what providence of God this might be leading towards, other than the near-sighted benefit of a pay check. It has sparked an interest in me for medical office work, which is funny because a few ladies at church have been trying to push me in this direction for a while now and it always sounded borrrrring. But it's not! It's a dynamic job with lots of aspects to it. I love talking to the customers in the waiting room. It's an oporotunity to serve, because some of them are SO lonely and just need someone to talk to. I have met some of the most interesting people in the most unlikely of disguises lately... sometimes you wonder how people ended up the way they are when they have so much going for them.

But I don't know. It's not much school and it would guarentee me a steady pay check and good hours, but it would always only be a contingency plan and I think I'd just be upset if I ended up doing it long-term. I've been thinking all day it might be good for me to narrow down exactly what the REAL plan is. Humm. That sounds too serious.

On to fresher topics! I have officially broken my record for going without going without coffee. See how I did that? Now it sounds like an accomplishment! I have had coffee every day since two Sundays ago. And maybe even furthur- at this point I just don't remember. But see how happy I am? I have no regrets! I use explination marks! I meant to say exclamation, but I don't really care!

Anyway. I have to go.

  2. Danny, you had to tell her that?! I thought it was pretty self-evident . . . (Note the link name for this site)
