The long search is over...or at least put back on the shelf. After a desperate, time-consuming search accompanied by pots of coffee and fistfuls of hair, I was awarded for my efforts. Finally a job. Not really in my field, but something that will pay the bills and - even better - be enjoyable.

Is it silly of me to be excited that I get to wear scrubs every day? That I won't have to go scrambling for new additions of professional wear to my depleted wardrobe? That I get to be comfy all day long and not have to get up an extra fifteen minutes early just to iron, starch, and polish? I'm going to go with my gut feeling and say no.

Memories flitter back and forth of the many hours and days spent studying biology, anatomy, physiology, microbiology, and organic chemistry. Locked in my room, repeating the names of bones and muscles and nerves until they stuck...and then repeating them some more. Dental hygiene was once a passion, once a dream. I wonder if a remnant of that dream holds tight to a corner of my mind, just tightly enough to come back every now and again.

For now, I am happy and satisfied to have something that will keep me occupied and pay my bills. The fact that it will be fun and light is just a perk. We see what other perks follow......
