I got a job today!!! I really did!! I'm soooooooooo happy! On Dec 21st of this year, I will officially be an employee of Genesis Medical Group. My 1st gig as a medical coder! The adventure for this job started in August of 09! Coming from a retail background - it's odd for me to see it take this long to hire someone. In the retail world - (Convenience stores especially) you need someone yesterday! You scan apps, interview, test & drug test w/in 48 hours and as soon as the test comes back approved you get them started!! It's a different type of business with specialized skills (coding ;)) so I guess that makes the difference. It pays to be cautious in these areas.
I'm excited about what happens next. This position is being created, the way I understand it, to improve efficiency between the hospital and the billing offices. I may have a desk in both places. They're still working out the details. I am so ready for something new and for structure to come back into my life!! Alas - I won't be able to stay up til 4-5am (I really DO love to do that) but the fact that I will be able to pay my rent on time and actually be able to breath a little easier - hey it's worth the sacrifice!! :)
The last 16 months and 4 days have been some kind of adventure! Not always good but it has taught me so much. I believe everything happens in G-ds time. I am so thankful that I wasn't working when mom got sick this last time. I have gotten closer to her in the last several weeks than I ever have I think. Had I got the job in August - This would not have happened.
This is probably the 1st time I've ever really given something over to Him. I have believed in His promise to provide for our needs. I needed a job, therefore He would provide one - in His time - that being the hard part - G-d & I aren't always on the same schedule! I got discouraged at times, sure, but I ALWAYS knew He would care for me. He sent so many to do just that. People who cooked for me, people who listened to me, thoses who sent me money, helped me get in school, encouragers, teachers, friends - oh my friends - I am truly blessed here... people bought me food and sundries, a friend even bought Christmas presents for my grandson last year so I wouldn't have to go w/o gifts for him. My family have been awesome, God's family has been awesome and I have been blessed beyond measure. I pray to G-d for insight to be the same light for others. To be able to see the need in someone's eyes and meet it - just as has been done for me.
What a wonderful day this has been for me! God is faithful! I pray to never take this time I have had for granted.
About Me
- Queenie
- I am a 52 yr. old BBW who is working on re-making herself yet again. I started out in my 20s and 30s as a starving musician. That was ok for awhile ( til Mac and Cheese everyday got to be too much!). I decided to move home and get a job and then finish my masters degree in performance but... 27 yrs later I was still working at that job - had been promoted 3 times and found myself in my new home called Newark in 1985. So my 30s and 40s were spent in a very comfortable job with a car and a good income. I met and married the man who would be my husband for the next 18 years and then....well life barfed all over me!! We became a financial wreck, I became clinically depressed, my husband left, the house went into foreclosure, the money was gone due to bankruptcy and then the big one - I lost my job, my identity as it were and then I became lost for awhile. Believe it or not - this has been a blessing in disguise that I will blog about at some point and I now find myself as a student at C-Tec learning all about medical coding, hanging out with some of the greatest friends in the world and learning to take myself a litte less seriously. Laughter truly is the best medicine.
