life in clifton
I find myself thinking there are no coincindences. Tara gave me an awesome book to read called The Alchemist. It's so inspiring. As I struggle to find my "Personal Legend" I am given a study on Cure for the Common Life and The Alchemist as my guides. I took the exam Saturday for my NCAC II and I'm not entirely sure I did well so I guess we shall see. I did enjoy my time with Tara. Yesterday Em met me at the mall and we did some shopping and linch. That was fun too. Today I went to some consignment shops, Rotary and then in the pool. I need to say my entire time off has been peppered with occasions that draw me into work. People using on the unit, one person slitting their wrist in response to my giving a verbal order from NYC for her discharge because she had gotten into a fist fight the night before with someone else on the unit. I worked really hard to get this same woman placed in a halfway house because she had nowhere to live. She didn't like it there so she returned to us and she has the audacity to say after she slit her wrist, "I did this for Brenda" Unbelieveable!!!!! So now why do I want to leave my job? Let me count the ways...... I realized what was important to me last evening when I thought I lost the heart necklace the girls gave me. That it one of my most important treasures. After tearing the house upside down, calling Tara a bazillion times etc.... I found it in the book Tara gave me, " The Weekend". All is well.... It's a good day to live MacDougal.
