Steve,
Was your boat recreational or was fishing a job. I hope that in the near future I can relocate. I am the surgery grunt at our hospital here. I do many, many things and refer to myself as the "Chief of Surgery" maid.
It sounds so much better. Actually, I do play an important role in the department and it takes all of us to keep things running smoothly.
I just received my bachelors in social work at the young age of 49 and have had to stay at my current job due to my many medical issues.
It is a bit frightening to give up a position with 11 years seniority to go the bottom man at a new job. Insurance is a must and right now I better stay put.
I reason I mentioned all of the above is because I was checking out jobs all over the US and I am extremely attracted to the N. E. states. I can see myself working in a city but living in a quaint fishing village somewhere along the coast. To me it would be idyllic. My other option is to work in London.
I have contacts over there and Saturday I received a letter and app from a social worker friend there. She wants to get me over there as soon as possible and she has cut through some red tape for me. I am going to send the application because I believe that Mayo is going to find out what my problem is and fix me up.
That is my story and I am sticking to it. I will stay positive, my pride and positive attitude (most of the time) is about all I have left. I guess those are pretty important things to hang on to.
I would love to hear about what it is like where you live. I have imagines of some places there as being lost in the past and I would love to be lost in the past also. LOL
I could be a social worker on a fishing boat................ That would be cool, hey?
So that is my week, only left the house 3x for groceries and a doc appt.
Whew, what a social butterfly I have become!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am sure many can relate. I sure am glad that I am comfortable with myself, but there are days that I don't like me very much and would like to beat the tar out of me.................but neither one of Me's has the energy. So, I just agree to agree with myself. HA HA
This is how a person sounds when they spend too much time alone and begin thinking of yourself as your own roommate. Scary............
Hope everyone had a great week and that things are either getting better or at least staying the same.
God bless everyone here or your higher power of choice,
Judy
