When it rains, it pours, as they say. Today I got a call from one of the hospitals I've applied at. I was hoping they wouldn't call so I wouldn't be having this dilemma of still going through the application (just for the experience) or leave it behind and look forward to the job that was first offered to me. The work there is more clinical, and I am assuming the setting is as similar to my previous workplace. In short, been there, done that. I am more inclined really to push through with the job offer in Occupational Rehab as it is something new to me and I find it rather interesting. I think I may be in the position of a career shift as I am quite keen to see how this field of specialty will sit with me.
My mind is spinning. And as I still want to submit my application to that other job opening, I have to complete ASAP a selection criteria report which is not really all that appealing. Apparently so as I am still here staring into the computer screen of one of those netbooks, and not getting anything done.

Working Girl
I am now officially a working girl! Yes you heard it right. I was offered the job I have been applying for last week. And of course I accepted it as it was a great opportunity for me since I finally do get to work as an OT and there is so much chance for growth.
I have left the clinical scene, and have opted to try occupational rehabilitation for a change. I'm new to it but am very interested in learning a great deal about it. So I guess pretty soon I will be making workplace assessments and recommending industrial handles suitable for workers and such.
It feels all so surreal at this time. I can't believe that I'll be working again soon.

So Me
You Are Dusk
You are a naturally idealistic and creative person. You look forward to nights where everything is possible. You spend most of your energy on play. Work is okay, but the true you emerges after the work day is done. You're an offbeat type that doesn't like rules or schedules. Life's too short to waste at a desk in a cube.
Whether you spend your night socializing or working on side projects, you like that your time is yours.
Hmmm... that is so me! I couldn't agree more. :)

Feeling positive
I think the guy above has been guiding us very well in our endeavors. I might get some pretty awesome news tomorrow after attending a very important meeting. But I am not spilling the beans as yet because I don't want to nip it in the bud. I don't want to keep my hopes up so I won't get disappointed in case things go terribly wrong. But I am still keeping a positive vibe at the same time. Confusing eh?
Just a few minutes now before I get myself some beauty sleep so I feel refreshed when I wake up tomorrow. But before I do that, I have to see what the fuss is about on term life insurance quotes. Well, somebody's got to do it. And it just happens to be me. I'm outta here.

Travel updates
Well, our friend helped us score some real cheap tickets for our holiday in December. We got them for 50% of the original price so it certainly is a good deal, especially now that Erin is not considered an infant anymore and we have to pay almost full price for her fare.
That trip is all I'm looking forward to at the moment, as a break is much needed. We could have had one of those weekend getaways last Easter holiday but we didn't get to planning it out right, plus the little girl had the colds at that time. Hope this time there won't be any hitches especially with DD who is turning out to be the most impatient of all people I know. *fingers crossed*

So Much Stuff
I can't believe I have ignored this poor blog once again. But that's nothing new. With so much stuff going on in my life right now, I am actually surprised that I can still manage to post somehow. Things may have to change soon, and my blogging time may be cut down on a more permanent basis. Operative word there though is MAY. So, it's all wait and see at this moment. I'll keep you all posted.
