My 1st paycheck!

I got paid today! Yippee :)

Beautiful Sunday

Unfortunately, Hannah's name was not on the posted list for the girls who made the Dazzlers Flag team. She is handling it quite well and has decided to get a full year of highschool band under her belt and then, try out again next year. I am very proud of her. We have had 2 days of pouring rain and so, ended up with a gorgeous Sunday! Don planted the garden, we washed cars, I ironed 2 weeks worth of work clothes and tonight, we will go to the Youth-led 6pm Worship service at church.

I am now an "official" state worker!

I am in the middle of my 2nd week at SWSH. I have been more than thoroughly oriented to the way things run in a State agency and I am thigh-deep in papers in my office that no one wants to put into storage should they happen to need to justify something in 2009 based on something that happened in 2003! I am "in-office" storing, weeding through what can be shredded and basically just trying to get things in my office where I know where they are and then, next week after my first Medical Records Committee meeting, I will dive into the "nuts and bolts" of my job! Hannah is trying out for The Dazzlers Flag Team for band at the high school and Claire is on St. Simon's Island at the Driftwood Science camp. She gets home tomorrow. As ALWAYS... life is busy :)

Down to Work!

I have 4 days left until I begin my new job at SWSH. Tomorrow, I complete my pre-employement paperwork, see my office and sign my employment contract. All that after I find out if I have TB or not! Fear not - my ppd test site is completely unnoticable so I'm pretty sure I'm in the clear :) I have had 3 weeks off and it has been nice. I've managed to accopmlish so much around the house so now, I am ready to dig in and get started on Phase II of my career life! EXCITING TIMES LIE JUST AHEAD!

PS:

Claire placed 2nd in her category at the ABAC Regional Science Fair - we are very proud! Hannah had a wonderful weekend at DHB and Claire at Choir Festival. I think things are quieting down for a bit - at least nothing going this weekend!

'Bye 'Bye!

It is official, except for the "negotiating" of my contract, I am OUTTA here!!! I was offered the HIMS Administrator position at SWSH and will be giving notice at KWB as soon as the details of my salary/compensation package are worked out! What an answer to prayer. What a weight lifted from my shoulders. What an exciting opportunity that awaits me. I cannot wait to get started on this 2nd phase of my career path. It will mean going back to school to obtain my RHIA degree and learning all sorts of new people and procedures but I am VERY excited! God has laid this wonderful new start at my door and I am anxious to step through and begin. AMEN!

I'm outta here ... maybe?

Last Tuesday, Feb. 10th, I had an interview for the HIMS position at SWSH. I felt pretty good about it and was told I would hear something back, either way, within 1 week to 10 days. Yesterday, I got a phone call/email requesting that I meet with the Clinical Director at SWSH, Dr. LeRoy!! I will meet with him on Friday at 9:30! YIPPEE!! Life may be changing soon :)
