May 19, 2024, Sunday afternoon, 3:31, pacific standard time, apartment in Dana Point, California, USA. Today is the 21st anniversary starting my role as a hospice chaplain in Ogden. Utah. That was my favorite job ever and by far the happiest time of my life. I went on indeed.com today and saw that very job posted. Upon further inspection it is for acute care, not hospice. They are looking for someone with board certification. That is tough to get. Like getting another masters degree. I would not be qualified for that job. I wouldn’t want to work acute care anyway. I like being a hospice chaplain and having the autonomy to set my own schedule. Still, seeing a job posted in Ogden on the day of my anniversary did give me a start.
