4:48pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Chandler, Arizona, USA, Wednesday afternoon, June 15, 2022. Woke up early to walk and work out, wrote a little then applied for unemployment. The second interview today was rescheduled for Friday. Turns out the Rancho Cucamonga job also covers Riverside. Not sure what is going on there with so many vacancies! That is three jobs at the same time. Started looking at Chaplain positions as well but, haven’t applied yet. It would be nice to have something to do, earn some money and get benefits again.

To fruition
6:13pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Chandler, Arizona, USA, Monday evening, June 6, 2022. The virtual interview went well this morning. However, there could be an issue with a contract. They have a non-hire clause with the company I previously worked for. It unfortunately may be a dealbreaker. On different note, I did not hear back from San Diego. That is alright. I realize everyday I don’t want to go back to that role. This morning I saw new possibilities; moving back to California, taking the job I interviewed for today and doing PRN chaplain work to make up the salary difference. I have seen the solution, now I just need to bring it to fruition.
Clarity coming
3:59pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Chandler, Arizona, USA, Friday afternoon, June 3, 2022. The people from San Diego reached out today. Weirdest thing; they insinuated an offer would be made, but didn’t make one. Not sure what the hold up may be, guess I will find out next week. The recruiter for the Senior leadership job in Orange County touched base again. I don’t think that is a job worth pursuing, for many reasons. Finally, the position I find most intriguing, the support for the electronic medical record company, also reached out today. We set up an interview time for Monday morning. Things are starting to come together. Next week should provide clarity.
Bring back memories
4:10pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Chandler, Arizona, USA, Thursday afternoon, June 2, 2022. Three interviews today. The first was most interesting. It was for a job to support providers using a specific electronic medical record (EMR) product. The position requires operational knowledge I possess but, it isn’t what I have typically done in the past. I am going to continue to pursue it. The second call was about the San Diego opportunity. It seemed to go alright but, I am the process has been so slow I am not sure anything will come of it. They seem to change what they want/need every time we talk. The third and final call was for a senior leadership role in sales. Ironically, it was a position I held in the past for the same company ten years ago. I don’t expect to pursue it very aggressively but, it did bring back memories from long ago.
Job updates, Wednesday, May 25
3:28pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Chandler, Arizona, USA, Wednesday afternoon, May 25, 2022. Busy day today; finally have a meeting tomorrow morning to discuss my severance with the previous company. After that, I drive to Glendale for an in-person interview to explore the Senior Leadership position I was contacted for yesterday. Finally, I have a virtual interview with a hospice in Orange County, California tomorrow evening at 5pm. A lot of options available, now it is time to see which is the best one.
A moment of balance
5:40am, pacific standard time, apartment in Chandler, Arizona, USA, Monday morning, May 2, 2022. The trip with my mom from Henderson, Nevada to Chandler was more taxing than anticipated yesterday. We got in around 1pm, rested, then got dinner and watched a movie. All things considered, it was a good day. Right now I am enjoying a moment of balance; life is not overwhelmingly great but, many aspects feel calm. I can bear my job, I am at peace with my relationships, I appreciate the place I live, I accept my past and look forward to a bright future.
Sunday updates
2:34pm, apartment, Chandler, Arizona, Sunday afternoon, January 30, 2022. The feeling of exhaustion is still with me, Not sure how to shake it. Working out wasn’t too bad this morning but then again it didn’t last too long. The walk was beautiful this morning, enhanced by a beautiful sunrise. Later this afternoon I plan to go out, get some fresh air. A recruiter emailed me yesterday (Saturday) about the job in Riverside County. We are going to talk tomorrow, about that job and a regional position she is recruiting for. There are a lot of opportunities are open in Southern California right now.
Writer
7:38pm sitting in my office this afternoon. I identified as a writer. I don’t want to look for other jobs. I don’t care about money. I want to create something I am personally proud of and share it with other people. I feel peace.
Work again
12:10pm in my office. Writing another post about work. Of course. The meeting at the coffee shop went alright. I appreciate the nurse sharing her perceptions. I made some changes in the reporting structure to mitigate the issues. The changes will be beneficial but they will hurt the pride of some other employees. I did what had to be done. I need to control the situation. I have felt a sense of peace since I looked for jobs this morning. In a way it made this job feel brand new. Which revitalized me. Four hours later I am drained. But it was nice to have reprieve. I have felt peace a couple of times in the last two days. I don’t get to feel that tension release often.
Tired of work
6:55am I am tired of thinking about and writing about work. I looked at other jobs and even applied for one today. I had another nurse call off. That means Three of four triage nurses are out. My clinical director is out. Another nurse turned in her resignation yesterday. I have never seen a program meltdown like this.
