Everything Happens For a Reason

Yesterday was my first day back after handing in my resignation. Let me tell you, it wasn't the easiet day! I got run like a dog while other cars sat. Did I expect anything different? No, not at all. But....as I said, everything happens for a reason.

At about 530 last night while I was running what seemed like my 50th call (ok, in actuality it was only about 5) my phone rang. Of course because I was with a patient, I ignored the call. When I was able to check the phone, I had seen that it was my realtor that had called. I really wasnt' so excited about this, because I was sure they were setting up yet another appointment for someone to look at my pad during prime sleeping hours! Well, I checked the voice mail, and it was my actual realtor, not just the office! I got an offer on my house!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!!!! They offered a little less than my asking price, but not too low. So, I accepted the offer! The only draw back is that the new owners want to close on September 29th. I immediately said "thats fine! I'll be out!" I think my realtor was a little surprised in how accepting I was of that term!

So anyways, I guess my point here is...I buried St. Joseph, two weeks ago. I quit the job that causes me more stress and headache and worry than in ever necessary, and I put my faith in God. All things worked out wonderfully for me. So, keep me in your prayers that nothing goes wrong with the contract! And all works smoothly. I guess I'll be back in McHenry by October!!!!

Life

I have made many larger than life decisions for one little girl lately. Many of you know that my house is on the market, let me tell you, not a good time!! I have also recently decided to resign my position with the ambulance company I work for. I handed in my letter of resignation on Friday September 8th. I did give the traditional two weeks notice, although I really wanted to run in and yell...."I QUIT!!!!!!!!!!!!! HA HA HA!!!" After some thought I figured that would be a little on the unprofessional side, and probably not taken too well. So, I typed up the very professional letter stating my last day of availability would be 9/20.

Although I know that the current company I work for is a poison in my life, it has been a very big decision to quit. The original plan was to wait until the house sold, and then quit. But I couldn't take much more of my boss. Let me fill you in on my boss. Ok, you need a mental picture...he's about 5'8", an ex-marine, and coverered in tattoos. He has a little bit of little man syndrome, so he likes to bluster about and yell at people all the time in order to make them feel inferior to him or at least to cause intimidation. I had never really been yelled at by him, not directly anyways. Then, the other morning I'm at the end of a 24 hour shift, I'm so tired and I'm washing the truck. He is ranting and raving at the top of his lungs about incomptent and overpaid paramedics! Well, I'll tell you, I am far from overpaid and I am absolutely not an "incompetent paramedic." That was the final straw for me. I decided that I don't need to work for a man who doesn't respect the work I do for him. Not when I have the education and ability to walk into just about any other ambulance company tomorrow and will most likely be offered a job on the spot! So, I decided to quit. And a little plus for me was that two other paramedics handed in their resignations as well!!!

So as of now, I'm broke, waiting for my house to sell and down to just one job! I put all my faith in God that he will take care of me and make all things right with the world.
