happenings of the . . .

. . . past 2 months

It's been an interesting 2 months, as I had dropped two days of work as an aged care PT. So becoming a part-time bum . . . it was awesome to have 4 day weekends! Some thoughted I'd go crazy with so much time on my hands but no I think I will miss it.

Looking for a little more work; being very specific particularly - location, location, location! hahaha. Applied to one - couldn't get that as our timings didnt match up, so after a few weeks another come up & snagged. I must say patience is indeed a virtue! On top of trusting that God will open doors & checking yourself that you don't let the disappointment get to you.

So now after having almost 2 months of 4-day weekends, I will definitely miss the added time to chill & bum. But this private practice job will be an absolute challenge to the brain & the body. As for the past day & a half I have had to go in to the practice to get a feel of things; the use of the equipment, the system & getting to know a few of the patients & all the staff (receptionist, the podiatrists & of cos the other PT who's the co-owner of the practice).

Seeing how things are to be runned, there is a definite key to having your own practice. 1) quality of service, 2) knowledge & 3) interpersonal skills. To be able to problem solve, the presenting condition & spot diagnose the signs & symptoms then treat it effectively. This job will keep me on my toes & the brain ticking away to look for answers. All's very exciting! I can't wait to sink my teeth into the challenges ahead of me.
