Not a lot to say
Well not a whole lot to say. It was a pretty mellow day. I was expecting to hear back from Tech Skills on the interview yesterday but havent heard anything. My guess is that I didnt get the job. At least I tried I guess.
The interview yesterday seemed to go well however the key factor that came into play is that CA has certifications for billing and coding. Weird to me but still. Anyway, with all my experience and knowledge (which still counts for a lot), doesnt hold water without that piece of paper. I can totally appreciate where they are coming from, I mean they teach this stuff and certify people. Its like teaching HS without a diploma. There is still a chance but Im not going to count on it.
They did mention something about me working toward the certification as I work for them. If that does become the case, that would be great. I would work days (or evenings) and use my other time obtaining the certificate. I still have a bit of hope that it will happen but wont give up my day job lol.
As for the day job, things seem to be coming to a steady lull. That woman has become friendlier toward me. My guess is that one person can not go every day being miserable, sitting and sulking, with their face to their computer. So it was beat them or join them and she decided to join.
Today we went to lunch in China Town in Oakland. The place was Jade Villa and it was definitely a new experience for me. There was no real menu but in the middle of a table of 10 chairs, was a lazy susan. The wait staff rolled carts around with various stuff. Things I had never seen before. There were puffs of shrimp, and other weird stuff and they would place small servings on the lazy susan so that everyone at the table could help themselves with a turn.
Ive been thinking about the journal more too. I feel like Im losing sight of why I started this. Originally it was to document the changes and the differences between Rochester and San Francisco. Then it was different thoughts, emotions, and ideas. Now it seems to have become the regular, every day life. I guess thats how it should be but cant help but feel a loss.
Before I left Rochester, I took a training class on change. The main thing I brought out of that class was that there are 3 stages. The before, the transition, and after. The part most people are afraid of isnt the change itself, but the transition. The before is the day to day life we live, the after is where we end up, the transition however, is all that stuff in the middle. The not knowing whats going to happen, the fear of what you are leaving behind, the uncertainties of each and every moment in your life. I finally feel past the transition and in the end stages. Its no longer different, but more familiar in many ways than I ever thought possible. With that, theres that sense of loss yet a sense of stability for reaching the end.
So on to other stuff. Todays my moms birthday. Happy Birthday Mom! She also had surgery on Monday and made it home today. Hope you are feeling better.
