Next please.

Last week I came across an on line ad for what seemed to be a to good to be true job. The position called for someone to assist a Chiropractor as well as front reception. I wasn't to sure how it would go as the position was on kjiji but thought I'd apply anyways. About 2 hours after I wrote an email with my resume attached I received a phone call asking if I could come for an interview and if I would like to sit in on a course she was teaching so I could get an idea of what the job would entail. This Dr is fantastic! Her energy is through the roof and she really has a unique way of helping her patients. More on the natural healing side of things. It seemed like a perfect match.

During the evening I learned a few things and was given some papers to take home, fill in and bring back the next day. When I left the office that evening I was so caught up in working for this lady I couldn't see the long term and how it might really affect my future if I got this position.

She told me that she wanted someone long term, now my plans are to go to school in September and this would be a very hard thing to do with a full time job. I can't believe the blinders I had on for her. I was considering NOT going to school but rather being her assistant. WHAT?! This is NOT how I imagine my life going. I feel like this is a hard choice as it would be so good but in reality I need a job for about 10 months that will allow me to make and save some cash for the future, either give me the time off I require for the summer OR that I have no issues leaving so that I can have the summer available for Shambhala, Burning man and then off to school in the Fall.

I really felt like this was THE job for me but then realized that I would be holding myself back once again from completing any school programs. I know my 5 year plan and sadly this position does not fit into the mold. So now here I am looking once again, luckily Steve is very supportive and stands beside me on this decision.
