It has been a few weeks since I last updated as to where I am at.
Can I just say the relief that I feel no longer working at my old job. It is amazing. Most of my headaches have gone and I am hoping that I will be able to come off my migrane medication soon.
I have been at my job 4 weeks now. I love it. I am actually liking going to work again. It is a good feeling, as for the last few years I have really dreaded going to work and the days when I am at work really dragged. Now the days at work are flying by and I have energy again.
The job called for 5 hours per week moving to a full day. The first day I was there I did a full day and they asked me whether I would do two days per week. I did two weeks of one day and two weeks of two days. My boss says that I need to work full time for him!! Currently I am employed through the agency and the money is pretty terrible. He has offered me more money (dont know what it is at this stage) and i will be employed through them.
One of the things that Jamie asked me was why I wanted to go back to uni. I explained that really there is nothing that I do that really stands me out from the rest. If something happens with this job and I end up looking for another job, I am back in the same position that I was before.
To work for Jamie is the easy thing to do. I can put off my plans of going to uni and work for him, possibly full time, but again I am going to be stagnant. I am not going to move forward. For a few days i even toyed with the idea - maybe I should forget about uni. It would be a lot easier for me and it would be a lot easier financially for my family in the short term, but would it be the right position long term???
We went away for the long weekend and we spent quite a bit of time with Cathy and Ian. Their daughter Caitlin finished uni last year and is just finishing up her Graduate year at Royal North Shore hospital. I am glad that I got to pick her brains about the job and what she loves about it and what she doesn't like. Caitlin is a bit like me so to get her opinion on things really helped cement in my mind that I need to do this. For my future I need to go back to uni and do Nursing.
