At least with my current job I can cuddle with Dianakitty all day

Some days I really really miss running a medical office. PTRP was a place literally made of nightmares (that I still have seven years later) but when I was essentially in charge of the main office I ran that shit perfectly. Well, "perfectly"... there's always going to be hiccups here and there. But I did my job damned well and hell as far as I know they still use the SOP they asked me to write for the office. Things ran smoothly, efficiently, and I knew my shit. I was fairly well respected for it too, I think. At least enough that when a drill sergeant was making me late on a deadline I'd get onto him about it and rather than me getting in trouble for "mouthing off" to a superior officer he just blinked and was like "okay" and hurried along his job. lol.

So, yeah... I also worked the chiropractic office and I thought I was doing a decent job of that too but god only knows. I thought that way but then they suddenly turned cold and "fired" me by telling my uncle to call me and tell me not to show up anymore.

Anyway. Point is... I miss knowing I'm damn good at something. To daily feel pride and certainty and to feel like I was in the right place. Now that I'm able to get regular massage work done on me I should hopefully be able to work on art more often and maybe I can get that feeling back.

But while I do love art and I do love doing that for work... I admit I miss the medical office. I never wanted to be a doctor. I've considered nursing as I know I'd also be good at that (I at least have the right attitude for it) I definitely knew I loved working behind the scenes and making sure the doctor's schedule and paperwork and office ran smoothly. I miss it. I may never be physically able to go back to that, and I'm accepting of that fact, but some days are going to make me sigh all wistfully and then shake it off and try to get back to my work now. :)

Well it's official I need to buy three of these soon*

A lot of friends are having babies around the same time. SO MANY BABIES. At least their squishy adorableness will satisfy my uterus' baby needs for a while so I won't be tempted to breed before my time. :P

*I got one of them for a friend's baby and she adored it. Later on some friends had their first baby and Will got him one of these. Now I kind of want this to become a Thing. Go-to adorable baby seahorse toy! I like it.
