Well what an interesting day today was.
The Yankees had their big parade in the city today. I didn't go. I had an interview. I'm no baseball fanatic, but I did watch the game and it was exciting. What was not exciting was having to wade through the mass of people crowding penn station this morning trying to get downtown, while I was trying to get to my interview. Ugh! It was annoying. Mind you half these people don't take mass transit and don't even know how to use a Metrocard. The lines at the ticket kiosk was INSANE. I'm so glad I have a monthly ticket. I'd have been hopping mad if I had to stand on that line to get my metrocard.
I do have one question, why is this big game called "The World Series" and only american teams play each other? Just asking.
Rihanna, my country woman, had her big interview with Diane Sawyer tonight on 20/20. I am so proud of her. She did a great job relaying her side of the story. She showed an inner strength thats rare for someone so young. She experienced something and reacted to something that so many abused woman do. She's right she is only human, and what she did, going back after what he did is a real human thing to do. Sadly everything that happen, occurred in a public circus. I'm sure she's traumatized by the whole ordeal. I think maybe she's still a tad bit in denial that the signs were there. He busted up her car and shoved her in a wall. The signs were there. I hope that CB learns from this, I hope he really does, I hope he understands the extent of his actions. But like she said, men never really understand the internal scars that they leave when lay hands on a woman.
My interview today was very interesting, it was a for another clinic which I think I might really really want. If I get it I'm going to have to leave my current clinic which makes me feel really bad. But I have to be realistic. I need benefits and a full time salary. I think if I do get it I might do a dialysis course or hunt craigslist for a per diem or part time spot for some extra cash in the evening. The nurses at the clinic had such a glow to them. They truly seemed happy with their job and I was shocked when one of my interviewers was one year post nursing school. There aren't many clinical skills involved. Its very teaching intensive. I don't mind. The beauty of nursing is that you can change, you just need that foot in the door. If they are interested I'd be invited back to shadow them. Keeping my fingers crossed. |
