I got a new job! I don't really know how I feel about it yet. I am, however, glad that I will no longer be working in the restaurant service industry. Never again will I wait on another table (after December 23rd). This is a time period in my life that is ending NOW. Thank God. I can't take it much more.
However, now I'm working in a psychiatric hospital as a "PCS" (Psyhciatric Care Specialist). Honestly, the patients scare me a little so I'm sort of afraid to go to work. But, I've only been on the unit for 1.5 days and I think that emotion will wane over time. Primarily, I'm intimidated. I went through 4 days of orientation and then was plopped onto the Adult Unit as a trainee with a fresh CPR card in my pocket and no prior knowledge of hospital procedures, language, or function. This scares me too because I'm terrified I'll make a horrible mistake. But, that feeling is easing a little too, now that I've actually done some hands on stuff. There's nothing I can really do accidentally to cause MAJOR damage. I just need to keep asking questions and think VERY carefully before I do anything.
Well, I'll talk more about this later, I'm sure. Now, I have to go to Shepherd Swallows to service some more ungrateful customers.
