So much for being unemployed, lol. DH spent 3 whole business days without a job. He interviewed on Tuesday and was hired a couple hours later...and got several promotions at the same time. He accepted a job on a per-diem basis, then they told him they thought they could get him into a part-time position and an hour later they offered him a full-time job. He's been doing paper work and pee-tests today.
But - wouldn't ya know it - two other places called him today. So, now he's torn. I told him the two other places are only "maybe's" right now so to stick with the 'for sure' job to start with. He says he would like to get back to patient care, and this job would do it for him. It's at a drug/alcohol rehab center and being a recovering alcoholic (7 years sobriety next month!) he feels like it would be a worthy calling.
The issue for him is that it's about a 50% reduction in what he earned previously. I told him that I don't care what he makes as long as he's happy doing it. But, I'm a little afraid he would get bored after a while.
Of the two other places that called, one of them would be a director of risk management in a (fairly local) hospital, another would be director of a health management plan (or something like that) at a major insurance company, and there's a third one that responded by email and sent him a questionnaire that they want him to fill out on his management style.
Sooooo, possibilities are popping up.
Supposed to rain again this weekend - yippee! I don't have enough mold growing between my toes yet, but I'll bet this will take care of it.
I turned Red and one of her daughters back out to the pasture this morning. I've had them up for a week giving them some TLC. They both had white membranes so they got the full-meal deal. De-worming, iron injections, red cell... lotsa, lotsa better quality feed than they were getting in the pasture. They are both gaining weight daily and looking a whole lot better than death!
Had five more chicks hatch yesterday. One lavender orpington, 3 meaty-type crosses, and one unidentified cutie pie. All look hale and hearty. I think that's the last hatch I'm gonna do for now...unless I get a bug and try to hatch some to sell. But, not right now. I'm kinda sick of looking at the little darlin's - and even more tired of my breezeway smelling like chicks and all the assorted odors that go along with 'em.
Woo-hoo, almost time for me to shut this down and go home. Yay!
