Thanksgiving. A time of sharing, a time of hope and a time to be thankful for all of those good things that have happened in the year. I guess its also a time when everyone puts on a few pounds because of that mouth watering pumpkin pie. ~grins~
When things started out and we moved to the Sault this year, It was a big time of change for me. I had to give up the Fire Department, had to give up the Ambulance, and I was actually worried about the unknown. I knew that I only had a short time left until I would be graduating and finding work. Now that I am 5 weeks from graduation I am worried a bit...because I took a career choice which I felt there would always be work in. I have applied to 3 places, and there is a 4th that I will be applying for today. 2 of the 3 places I didnt get into the interview stage. The 3rd I felt very confident about, went to the interview and felt it went real well. I have always remained positive, I have a good friend to thank for helping me realize The Secret.
As I look towards the future I am trying to keep a great outlook on things. Perhaps I will do what I had thought about. I would love to get my Paramedic licensure, but that would be another 18 months of constant schooling. It would give me plenty of opportunities, but I am wondering how well it would work in this area with bad knees. We know that a lot of the runs are in the middle of the night during the winter 5 miles from the closest road. I wish I could land a job where I could have a normal schedule and have a normal life. I think thats everyone's dream.
