a new job.
one of these days i'm going to be a better keeper of the journal.
these last few weeks have been a whirlwind.
i got a new job. (among a million other new things.)
i suppose it's about time i use my education to its full capacity.
8 years is a long time to study to become something and then not really "become" it.
pharmacist is what i am.
while i was in school and even while i was completing some of my rotations i really wondered if i'd made the right decision.
fancy me questioning a decision though.... art major; turned math major; turned history major; turned biology major... which ultimately complete a history and a biology major with a minor in chemistry.
whenever i tell people that they look at me like i'm one messed up kid.
who the hell can't decide that many times in 5 years.
i did eventually become something.
lately i've really became it.
after i graduated from pharmacy school i went on a year long hiatus (with a few random work days here and there).
that one year was perhaps the greatest year of my life so far.
cue reality.
cue bills, student loans, the need for food..... cue life.
cue job search.
i have always dreaded the job search; i literally perused the internet every day and applied to every open pharmacist job i could find in utah.
i was unbiased to price, duchesne, cedar city, etc- a job is what i needed, no matter the location.
things weren't going so well the first few weeks.
then i remembered one thing that works every time, and i mean every time; God's help.
once i started praying to find a job it's almost like a switch turned on.
ideal opportunities started to pop up.
i started getting interviews.
i started getting job offers.
my long held desire to work in a hospital became a potential possibility.
there's been a shift in the pharmacist world- the majority of hospitals won't even look at your application if you haven't done a residency or have at least 3-4 years of hospital experience.
i never really expected to be able to work in a big hospital unless i got in a really small one and worked my way up.
so me getting the job i did is a miracle.
it. is. a. miracle.
there's nothing else i can attribute it too.
that. is. a. fact.
i'm grateful i got my long held dream job.
i'm humbled that i get to work with all the people that i do.
i'm shocked this is my job reality.
this new reality is my reason for being neglectful in my journal keeping.
this new reality has changed a lot of things, but more on that later.
happy weekend everyone.
