He said it right....

I was so shocked that he did a blog post! For two years I have been trying to get my husband to blog or even just teach him how to do a post- its so easy! And I guess it took the Jehovah Witness' to be more exciting or eventful than anything Ive ever done or impressed him with enough to blog about it! Ha! Okay but he did bring a sweet tear to my eye about posting about my new job after a TOUGH two weeks for the both of us-busy wise. I was so over my other job and everything that was going on there and working two jobs. Morning and night. Chandler has been so so busy with school its l.i.t.e.r.a.l.l.y. indescribable. Chandler said yesterday " I think today has been ONE of the craziest days of my life" It was a long day too. He stayed awake for 43 hours straight doing homework- no joke, straight! We woke up in the morning he took me to work I came home that night from work at 10pm he was doing HW and had been since the morn., went to bed at midnight he was doing HW, I woke up at 6am and he had NOT MOVED from his computer desk. My poor husband has been working his tail off. No nap. I have never really pulled an all nighter before and if I have then I at least went to bed in the morning.. He was a trooper and happy of course. He didn't even flinch. The next night he finally came to bed and slept! Usually tosses a lot in the middle of the night. I am a very still sleeper. He didn't move once last night! He was zonked out.

Anywho he got his projects done, his papers. and a proposal (research paper) for a local historic tourist place ( Iolani Palace) done! He is such an awesome student. I cant believe the stuff he knows, does, and his delivery of work. It far succeeds I'm sure your average business man after 20 years in the work force! He will be one amazing employee. Speaking of... He has a job opportunity at his finger tips with Kaiser Permanente.  He was told that time was on his side to decide. They really want Chandler to take the position and they are not filling the position until Chandler tells them yes or no. Chandler is waiting to see if he gets a Medical Red shirt or what his plan is with his foot. So we have to be patient. Not too much progress on Chandler's foot as of yet. So we will see if He plays ball and  if he gets scholarship or if he will get this day time job and do the Master's Program at night.

As for me I am content with staying here. I'm okay to stay now for another year and a half while Chandler finishes up school. Its crazy what your working environment can pull you done and reflects through us. I have such a better job that it has been a blessing for sure. Its a Night and Day difference. I felt like I wasn't growing, I wasn't moving up- it wasn't possible at the spa, and I wasnt being challenged. I love the fluff but I missed the Medical side of Aesthetics. My boss at the spa is/was crazy. She was yelling at me one day so I thought to myself as her voice was ringing in my brain "what am I doing here? in these conditions? getting talked to like this? I am better then this!" No one has been happy working there. I haven't been shaky in a long time. I felt bad walking out because I am loyal, I am responsible, not unprofessional but I knew I just needed to stay strong and not allow someone to treat me that way. I didn't want it to end sour but it kinda did, I have never been treated so poorly. I did nothing wrong, It makes me feel better that 7 other people quit this week. An HOUR later I had a new job. It was so hard for me to quit but I needed to do something better for me. I know I was being protected and looked out for. Everything fell into place so I know it was the right thing. Tough but it turned into a blessing. I called up this well known Plastic Surgeons Office here in Honolulu and asked if they were hiring and the girl on the other end of the phone said "no". But she still told me to stop in and drop off my resume. I wanted to meet the Dr, just so it would help my chances. So I did that day. I went in and he hired me right then and there. I started the next day. It happened so quick and right before my eyes. I couldn't keep up. I have been there two weeks now and I LOVE IT! Its a ton of stuff to learn and do. I'm so overwhelmed but its what I wanted- a challenge. And it is, I am his surgical coordinator and more some. I have never had a job where so much is in my hands. Its scares me and intimidates me but the girl that is training me is WONDERFUL. We have become decently close and she is moving back to Utah where she is ironically from (cedar) So weird too. Our office does EVERYTHING. Every cosmetic surgery you can think of -Dr. C does. We have 11 lasers as well. Every laser ever made for the cosmetic world we offer, And all the other medi-spa stuff as well. I got to watch my first surgery with Dr. C. He has his OR right there on the premises. So he allowed me to sit in on the surgery and watch yesterday. It was a coronal. Basically an upper half face lift. He will let me circulate anytime I want in the future. I am already experiencing so much more and will be able to have better opportunities for me in the future. He talked to me about everything he was doing and I asked a bazilliion questions to him thru surg. It was fascinating. I'm surprised I didn't pass out. I was qweezy but I'm getting tougher and will get used to it. There hasn't been a day where Dr. C hasn't told me Thank You. I get paid Hrly. Consistent and Better, I get benefits and my hours are awesome! 715-315 M-F! Love it! And he respects me.
