SAFE

I think it finally SAFE to publicly announce that I (for reals) have a permanent job. Yay, no more temping. I got myself into trouble when I prematurely announced I had a job when it was not finalized and I ended up changing my mind. For the past 6weeks i have been working at Ray Family Dental Care for Dr. Ray who is just older than Mark my brother. Here's the scoop:

I decided one day shortly after I turned down the job in Scottsdale that I MUST find a job close by and there MUST be a job for me. So I printed off 20 pages of yellow page listings for Dental practices in Queen Creek, Gilbert, Mesa, Tempe and Chandler and began calling each number listed. I did this for two days hearing "We are always accepting resumes" before I stumbled into Rosie. Rosie is the Office manager at Ray Family Dental Care. When I first called an assistant answered who couldn't give me much info. I asked her if there was a email that I could submit a resume and she took my number so "someone could call me back" RIGHT. fat chance I thought. On I went with my calling. So dun dun dunnnn-- a few minutes later I get a call from Rosie (Roseanne) who asked me how I heard that they were hiring!! Uh I didn't know you were, actually just making random calls. She told me that her and Dr.Ray had just gotten out of a meeting where they decided to let their hygienist go when I had fist called (thats why the assistant answered) She asked if I could come in the next morning at 9. of course. She told me that she knew this happened for a reason and it wasn't just coincidence and, well the rest is history.

I work part time Mon Tue Wed and some Thurs and Fri half day. And importantly its only a 20 min drive IN traffic. So beautiful. I like that I have a job. I have already seen some pretty great patients who really like me and who need lots of love and SCALING and ROOT PLANING. Its great. Here's what a day of work looks like for me.

"Not that you let me down" twice. Good job. Great English skills I know. I was just trying to get the point across I guess.
