I landed a p/t job as radiology receptionist at the local hospital.

There were 40 applicants, so I'm feeling pretty darned good about getting it. It helped that I've done the same thing back in the 90's at another hosp.

Whew! I'm worn out. Not because the job is so difficult, but training for something new is so demanding on your brain cells, lol! Esp. when they're OLD brain cells!

But its going to be good once I learn the ropes. If I can keep myself from answering the phone "Justice Court...this is Rochelle". I've done that for 8+ years and you know what they say about old habits...or is it old DOGS?

Anyway, just had to share. BTW, made DH take me out for dinner to celebrate (actually it was just an excuse NOT to cook, lol!)

Oh, and I'm still working p/t at the Justice Court, at least for now. Not sure I want to continue to work 5 days per week. That cuts into my grandkid time!!!

I actually feel very jealous of your abilities. Even though I don't want to work, anymore, I WISH I COULD!

Congrats and good wishes.

Sally, I feel the same way. I miss working but know enough to realize I could never do it again.

I hope you enjoy it, Rochelle. They're fortunate to have you there.

Many congratulations!

You so rock!

Twink that is wonderful! You go girl! You must still have all your brain cells or you would not be holding down TWO PT jobs. That is amazing. I hope both of the jobs are near you so you don't have to travel.
Congratulations.

Congrats on landing the job!!

congrats to you too twink. what a great job you did getting this great job.

your avatar is so cute. how old is she now? it is a she right?

it's really wonderful to have so many skills.
good luck.

Good luck to you and your new job! I also work at a hospital in registration. My regular schedule is three days per week, but the full-time employees want time off and that's where we pick up their extra hours. It is just too much for me at this point. In a hospital there is a lot of walking around to do so don't burn yourself out to soon. Having the extra money is great, but like a said in a recent post...I have no hobbies! I do get great gratification from my job in helping others and the patients, but you have to take care of yourself so you can help othes better.

I take Nuvigil everyday. I take half of the 200 mg tablet in the morning and it helps me get through the day. I work 40 plus hours a week and 53 yo with MS. Make sure you take it early and you should get used to it.

Good luck with your new job!
