I Got Hired!

cherandbuster · Post by **cherandbuster** » Tue Sep 12, 2006 5:11 am

Hi Gang!

As a lot of you know, I work part-time at home with my attorney hubby. For years I have concurrently been a medical assistant. I worked for five years for a podiatrist, but we had a falling out in June and I left his practice. He was a yeller and a screamer, and I had decided that I'd had enough of that.

I took July and August off from medical office work; I just worked for the hubby. I decided that when Labor Day weekend came, I would get my medical resume together and start looking for a part-time job in that arena.

I had my first interview yesterday and . . . they just called me with a job offer! I'm really excited: I'll be working with five oral surgeons assisting with the patient care. I'll be in their office on Thursdays and Fridays from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. This will give me plenty of time to continue helping my husband with his practice.

YEAH!! The office manager told me my personality got me the job.

So . . . wish Cher luck! I start this week :-6

Well done & good luck... is an "oral surgeon" a dentist, or something different?

Hi Bill --

These doctors specialize in root canals and implants -- in fact, I am going to them now for my 3rd implant

and that's how I heard about the job.

And I thank you for your good wishes :-6

Rapper is such a cute name for me

I wish I had a cute name for thee

You're kind and lovely, full of grace

What sweet name would suit your face?

If not your face then perhaps your work

Whatever the job, you'll never shirk

From tootsies to tonsils, from north to south

I'll have to call you foot-and-mouth! :wah:

Dear Cher, I'm joking, how cruel my mind

When everyone knows you're one of a kind

Cher means Dear and dear you are

La creme de la creme and the best by far! :-4

Hope everything comes up roses!

Good luck!

I missed this one. Congrats, Cher! You'll make the doctors' job easier because you'll have everybody smiling with your charm and wit.

Couldn't you get something a little closer to Texas?

I missed this too, before. So pleased for you Cher!! And they've got themselves a real treasure!!!

cherandbuster · Post by **cherandbuster** » Thu Sep 21, 2006 5:22 am

Well guys . . . the job did not work out, but I feel fine about it:) . You see, I had to stand on my feet for 10 hours straight assisting dental surgeons. But the end of the two days I worked, I was in agony. I can sit and walk fine, but standing up and not moving was a killer for me.

It was the *first* time in my life that I've truly felt the limitations of my bad back. That kinda sucked. But . . . all is for the best, as for the near future I'm going to keep working with my husband. We're pretty busy now and we'll see what happens down the road.

I look forward to *not* having to shovel out my car to get to work in February! :rolleyes:

Acc, thank you for your lovely 'closer to Texas' comment. It's nice to be liked :p

Aussie Pam, you already know how highly I think of you, my friend.

Rapper, I am *in love* with your poem and chihuahua! I truly appreciate that you took the time to do that for me. You are a very special friend :-4

You've all be wonderful.
