The End of an Era
The era of doing nothing that is....That job I was complaining about a couple blogs down? Yes, I got that job---I can't believe it and I start tomorrow. I am always a flood of emotions when starting a new job. I am excited for the possibilities but nervous for them as well, what if nobody likes me? What if I am not able to perform the duties assigned to me? What if they expect too much out of me? What if they're really unflexible and I never can get any time off?? You name it, I have worried about it.
My new job is a case manager position for an elderly day center. They come every day for activities and field trips for about 5 hours. The remainder of the day is spent dealing with the 22 patients that I have been given. I'm not sure exactly how in charge I am of them, but how I understand it is that I will help them find the right things for what they are needing: medical attention, insurance info etc, so we'll see how that goes. I really do enjoy working with the elderly, so that is definitely a perk. They're just so full of life (contrary to belief), they have so much to say. In most cases their minds are still working just fine, it's just their bodies that are giving up on them. It's a weird thought to think that your mind and your body are two entirely seperate things. It's as if our body is a shell that is holding our soul inside.
Anyway, I won't get started on philosophical thoughts..
That's what is happening with me, I have no idea what tomorrow will hold for me and I am more than a little anxious---but more than a little excited. A weird concoction of emotions. But, that's me.

Ok, so it's the end of my do-nothing era today. Yeah. I am glad. I'm going to laugh when I talk to you about your new job and you love it and you worried for nothing. But seriously, it's not such a big deal now cuz you're young, but when you're an old person like the people you're now working with, your heart won't be able to take incessant worrying like that- you should learn to quit :) whatever. I miss you here at work. But I'm about to leave and I'm glad you are already done and I'm not leaving you by yourself. Hope your new job is awesome. Talk to you later!
