In reply to More jokes, licorice » JLx, posted by tealady on September 27, 2004, at 5:34:46
Thanks for the warning about licorice. I remember talking about it before now and thinking it might not be a good idea after all. Actually I think I'm not going to really try anything new just yet, just tweak the stuff I already have.
Some great jokes, thanks! I've seen a number of those lists but this was a new one.
As it happens, I have an interview as a medical transcriptionist on Friday. This is something I did as an entry level position 20 years ago into what evolved as a career in medical records. It's been a lot of years since I actually did transcription and didn't particularly like it then, but of course, everything is different now. Transcription requires a lot of concentration while also being quite boring somehow, but still I would be very pleased to have this job. It's full time and should pay better hourly than my tax job will once tax season starts. It could be the chance I need to get back on my feet financially.
It would also be the chance I need to get back into my field. I kept up my C.E. credits and am still credentialed as a "registered health information manager" but my experience is too old to impress anyone. Yesterday when I was called for the interview I was happy and excited, but today I am feeling anxious and afraid of being disappointed. <sigh>
It's so true what the Buddhists say about attachment and suffering. It's kind of hard not to be "attached" to wanting to have a job though!
