The Unemployed Life
I'm back. Not that I'm sure who I am anymore. I used to be a doctor, but now, due to lack of employment and money, I feel like a maid. It's no wonder that enough women didn't like this work, that the feminist movement was born. Being home cleaning toilets, washing floors, vacuuming is just not my scene, and I need to find something better to do and fast.
There was an ad in a magazine with a middle aged woman lying on the bed in the fetal position with her dog next to her and the words "depression" under it. That's me I thought, when I saw it.
Monday mornings are the worst. I used to love Monday mornings because that was my hospital day and I loved my job. Now Mondays are so empty.
This is the week I'm supposed to hear back, yea or nay, about the job I interviewed for (three times). Each week that goes by feels like a month of this limbo life. I've got to make some calls at least. I'm thinking about checking my own references to see if my potential new boss checked my references. I have to do it sounding casual, not "Did she call yet? Did she call yet?"
Last night in the dressing room of a department store, a pretty young lady was trying on this sexy black dress. We got to talking, and it turned out she's a medical student. She was so excited about starting her hospital rotations soon! I used to be like that! All excited about my secure future with interesting, rewarding, lucrative work. Hah! Man plans, g-d laughs.
And now for the cruelist joke..PASSOVER IS COMING! URGHH...well I certainly can't complain that I don't have enough time, but I just don't want to deal with this holiday. Truthfully, I can't even physically handle all that work, never mind mentally handling it.
I decided that today I would do things, and already at this early hour I did some studying (for a music appreciation course I am taking as a distance learner with the local community college). Now the blog, then Weight Watchers (I am putting weight on like crazy), then the pool for exercise. If I do all that today...maybe it will be a good day. And then I'll come back to blog some more and we can talk about some really good, important stuff...

I'm sure you'll find something soon, G-d willing. Physicians have the lowest unemployment rate of any profession!
