"It was gravity which pulled us down and destiny which broke us apart you tamed the lion in my cage but it just wasn't enough to change my heart now everything's a little upside down as a matter of fact the wheels have stopped what's good is bad, what's bad is good you'll find out when you reach the top you're on the bottom" ~ Bob Dylan ~ ok, worklife... not that whining namby-panby self-pity crap that belongs in the whimpy journals or heartbeats or wherever that stuff belongs, right?... uh-huh (shake head)... yes drill seargent... but wait a minute, am I going to be a drill instructor or a therapist?... either way, do you really think I'll follow all the rules and fit in and play the role as written?... did Patch Adams?... did Inspector Clouseau?... what do you mean they were film characters?... I start next Wednesday... two days orientation... that will be the fourth and fifth days this job asked for before actually going to work at the job I am hired for... they definitely don't make it easy for someone to have a second job... anyway, the income clock starts again next Wednesday... a compromise on many levels, but at least it's a semi-reasonable compromise... $10 and hour base with shift differentials that will bring the shifts I work to an average of $11.80 an hour and then we can see about overtime... almost eleven years ago I left a position the equivalent of director of the place I'll be starting over at on near the bottom rung... romance does not pay in the real world... that's why I'd much rather be a film character... but I still cringe at the idea of marketing any of my creativity, even if the whole universe acclaimed it to have some great worth (which, of course, hasn't happened yet in this lifetime)... so I haven't shattered a glass in years, maybe I can still sing a lick... ummmm, worklife, remember?... oh yeah... so I'll be some sort of therapist on a transitional unit... I won't be able to share much of the details here because I signed a confidentiality statement cuz it is a medical privacy respect thing so I'll just have to get even more creative to share my worklife now... unless I can make the generalizations and summaries an interesting read somehow... that's assuming any of this is an interesting read... well, since there are an infinite combinations of tastes in each individual there must be smebody out there absolutely enthralled by my babbling and that's why I'm here, for that person... I'll be back to enthrall you with worklife news just as soon as I actually have some... IT'S THE GREAT JOB FOR THE NEW MILLENIUM HUNT!
