Commuting

Hell yeah....I have been commuting. I just want to give it a try and i think that it will help me get up so that I am not always running from my car to the time clock.
Well in my minimal few days of travel I have witnessed something odd. I has to do with people and public transport.

I have a link to a blog about people and what they read in SF. Well if I were to do this blog in SLC it would be short. On one day in, one car, just looking at about 12 people....that is two rows of people. I witnessed 3 book of Mormon readers. Yes they were marking and taking notes also. So you can see how the blog would be boring...it might be interesting to see how often they read it and if they read any other types of books.....HM an idea?
Any way on this particular day sitting across from one of the gentlemen (yes they were all men) there was another man reading a book....you will love this. The title of the book was "Group Therapy in the bed room" seriously where else. I was dying...but then it was like 0620. I just wanted to do that but it was really early and I didn't have coffee.

Wait for more....everyday is an experience on TRAX....really a whole new world of people take public transport.

new job

i got a new job. I have been wanting to do this for awhile, but lacked the motivation to do anything about it. I started applying in May and had some interviews. One went really awesome. I didn't get that job but she gave me a great reference. Told me that she would have loved to hire me but they had only one opening and I just didn't have enough experience. She asked if she could give me a reference or a recommendation for future position in the hospital. Hell Yeah anything to help a girl out. I got a call like 3 hours later setting up another appointment. I got that job. Seriously it is awesome when people give a little more effort and I totally benefited from someone giving a little more.

I will be working as a CNA at the University of Utah hospital on 6 north. I am taking a pay cut. I have to commute. I have to work a lot more and probably a lot harder than I do now. I am so excited about this. REALLY. I think it couldn't have come at a better time.

It is crazy how things just fall into place when you are ready to move on or just ready to step into that next phase of your life. I guess that is why it takes me so long to do anything I wait until it falls into place rather than making it happen. Well I guess I am making it happen just by doing the things that I am doing.

One step closer to nursing school.

Oh on a side note. This is the same floor that I was a patient on when I was hurt a few years ago. How odd is that or do you think it is just one of those things? tell me what you think
