All Work No Play...

I started yet another job (this makes 3). I've been fortunate this last month to have had the opportunity to represent some Buyers with the purchase of a new home in Kaysville. So that MONSTROSITY of a process (yes, we toured over 30 homes in 2 days... everywhere from Lehi to Layton) absorbed a lot of my time this last month. I LOVE Real Estate - and it was a nice little "breather" to get back into the Sales field a little after a year+ break managing different aspects of the construction world. I was born with that "sales stuff" in me; it's just who I am- and I'll probably go back into sales when the market changes. We will be closing on their new home in 3 weeks - woo hoo!


Also, I just started a new part-time job at Lakeview Hospital working 2 nights/1 weekend day a week in the Lab as a Lab Tech. My primary responsibilities are associated with the Phlebotomy Department & Microbiology. I draw a lot of blood, process drug tests, prepare Micobiology samples, process readings, chart test results, do a lot of random stuff with the ER and am kinda the go-between for the Blood Bank, Pathology, Microbiology, and Chemistry.


My first night was last week - What an eye opener. Not having worked in the Lab for nearly 6 years, it was a challenge (to say the least!) to remember all the terminology and abriviations for processes. Everything is a code or acronym?! And, of course, the people I work with are "too busy" to explain anything well- it's just do-or-die around there, literally!


I'm still really nervous about it. I have to go back to work tonight and train with my Latina ornery co-worker, lucky me.



On a positive note: the extra cash will be great and being back in the hospital is refreshing. I love the blood and that kind of stress. I like the technical aspects of it all and having to remember all the interesting stuff I learned in all my Medical classes!


So, when I'm not at Symphony Homes, selling a house, at the hospital, or at a race, I'm at home eating, sleeping, or cleaning. Feels like life is racing at about 210 MPH. Good thing I'm an adrenaline junky and enjoy the speed!
