Thanks for posting pfinstegg. I've seen your posts before as well. And thanks for the compliment about the photos. :) I wish I could look a bit closer to my age. I didnt know you were a doctor! If you dont mind me asking, what kind?
I posted this on the psych board as well, but I took the interview. I ignored the first call, but he called back again today. I called and set up an interview for 9am Monday.
I'm not sure how I feel about this. But you're right, it's definitely the step I need to be taking to get myself into another grad program later. I hope to do my MSW in a few years, and working at Panera wouldnt really impress anyone on the admissions committee. In the past, when I've felt better myself, I've gotten a rush out of helping someone and really connecting with them. It just feels different right now though. When I get depressed and have things asked of me, I tend to get overwhelmed and shut down.
The depression is really my fear. Getting myself out of bed, let alone functioning well enough to support someone else, is a problem right now. I've tried many many meds, and I'm still trying, but I'm yet to find any that work. I like that this position is part time though because that means I could still easily see Ginny twice a week.
So I'll go on Monday and see what happens. Theres always the chance I wont even get it. I think I might go out and buy a new interview outfit to make myself feel a little more confident. We'll see. I'll let you know what happens. Thank you for your support.
Heres the position if you're interested... I pulled this off the website.
