And Then There were Words.




Today I followed my father's lead in starting a blog.....let's see what this baby brings me. I am thinking this would have been a great thing to start while I was at school, grudgingly trying to complete an intense, life consuming program to become a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT)

I can happily say that the nearly 3 year ordeal is over, and I am a new graduate & brand spankin' new RMT. Now, the search for a perfect new clinic to set up shop in. I must say, in the few weeks that I have been job searching I learned a thing or two. Namely that I went from being a "senior" at school to a nursery school baby in the RMT work force. That being said, I am very confident in my skills & look forward to a wonderful new career that will hopefully bring new joys to my life.

So far I have gone for an interview at a beautiful clinic that seems to offer MOST of the things that I want in my practice. All was going well until the older lady who very much reminded me of an instructor at school that had control issues with what seemed to be a very stressful life (usually made clear by her continuous outbreak of "fever blisters") said in a round-a-bout way that she didn't want a Therapist who would just show up for the patients and leave the clinic as soon as the patients were done, she wanted someone who would love the place as much as they did - ok, ok, so I may be suffering from a bit of transference, but do I really want to be at a place where I feel like I am going to be judged if I don't want to sit around for an hour drinking tea, and talking about somato-emotional release? I think that may not be the place for me. I also went to see a young lady about a possibility of a job massaging poker players at some local casinos. Although the pay was not as great as a clinic, the tips & fun atmosphere was what pulled me in. I told her to keep me in mind for some on call shifts. However, I think she may have been more interested in learning about my fiance, and why not? He's very very very cute :) I'm using the law of attraction to draw in my dream job for which, coincidentally I have the interview tomorrow. A beautiful place in West Vancouver that has ALL the thing I want in a clinic (to my limited knowledge) as well as what seems to be a wonderful owner. Not to mention his absolute excitement at his discovery that I was First Nations. *Fingers crossed* let's hope this job works out for yours truly.

I dare say this is but scratching the surface of my crazy yet boring to me life, but I would not want to bore my non-existent following by making the blog too long about and about nothing. Here's hoping that the Olympics open up a new world of excitement to me & I can find more things to do than complain about them, what they have done to the city, the homeless, and how the government could have better spent ALL the money - how about next time lower some tuition costs or put it towards some great medical studies, treatment options & I'm sure no hospitals would refuse some new fangled gadget that would save many lives & cut wait times.....

Ama ya
Namaste

  1. Jord: To me, your life is far from boring. I think I can personally say, that I know you just as much as your parents do and your significant other, (if not more, lol) anyways, I have always thought of you as a very strong individual..through all your trials and tribulations..which I feel you have overcome, emerged this strong fireweed..There are no words to express how proud I am of you and how much I love you. All I can say is that I am crying tears of joy as I am writing this down. You have not only broken down those stumbling blocks but you have built new ones of knowledge. You have not only educated yourself along the way, you were educating me and I am sure your parents. Thank you for loving me so unconditionally.>>as I do you.
    forever thru eternity..your fave aunty pam
