GREAT NEWS!!!!!!

I have some great news to inform everyone of, I want to apologize for being late with this post. I was busy all day yesterday with no access to a computer. When Graham and I did get home, I was so exhausted. I fell asleep around 8pm. I finally woke up around 10am. But, I needed that sleep. Yesterday, I went into a working interview at Alaska Veterinary Clinic. I really enjoyed the people. They already knew my name, knew that I am working at Pet Emergency Treatment, and they knew that I worked nights. I was immediately impressed. This were things I had told the office manager last week at the sit down interview.  Of course, it was busy when I walked in at 9. Monday morning at a veterinary office, that's normal. So, it took me a few minutes to figure out who I was going to be following around that morning. But, once I was up to speed with everything. The morning went good. They were impressed that I knew how to work their computer system, they were kinda blown away I could do so many things on the computer so quickly. They repeated themselves so many times, saying, "man you are so fast," when they were showing me the computer system. I was introduced to several of the doctors, they were very nice. I think we can get along really well, once I get to know them better and I get familiar with their routines and how they like to work things. The whole office had a family atmosphere and everyone seems to like each other. Close to noon, when the interview was suppose to be over. The head doctor(aka medical director) said, "we want you to work here." they said they were excited to meet me and really want me work with them. So, we discussed when I could start and my pay. I will be starting on Nov.2. I will be working mon-wed and fridays-7am-6pm with a hr lunch break. Then about 1 saturday a month from about 9a-12p. I will get 14/hr. So 40hrs a week plus few extra hours a month for the saturday. So, no more nights for me!! I do have to finish my month at PET, but after that no more. All I could think after I left was, "thank you Lord and no more PET"
 I will be able to have my weekends back!
I am looking forward to having a normal schedule, getting to know my co-workers, and getting to know the clients that use this clinic. It will be so nice to be able to see a person walk-in and know them.
 Thanks everyone for their prayers!

And the story continues.....

So, Heres what happened today,
I had the phone interview for Alaska Veterinary Clinic. It went really well I think. The office manager wanted to set-up an in person interview for next week. We arranged it for this coming tues at 10am. She said that she was really excited to  meant me.

Last night, thrusday night,
 I was dwelling on all the events of the day and everything that happened at my working interview. I just had this strange feeling in my spirit that clinic(VCA Alpine) was not where i needed to go. I had this feeling once before when concerning a job back in Denver. God was telling me not to accept a position at a store, even though at that point i was trying to desperately to find a part-time job. Within, a week I had accepted a job at a veterinary clinic that was that best schedule a student could ask for. I stayed there for a liitle over a year while i finished school. I trusted God then and He worked everything out then. So why am i unsure now? I think God is trying to tell me to not accept that position. I was just in shock that I could have gotten a call from other clinic that very evening that I got home from a working interview at somewhere else. Even though, i think i made a god impression at my working interview at VCA Alpine and the people were really nice. The schedule would be alot nicer than what i have now. Something inside me is saying "no" that this is not the "right" place for me. I know I want to run from my current job as soon as i possiblely can.  i am trying my hardest to make october my last month at PET ER. The Alaska Vet Clinic has even better hours, better equipment, but the down side is that there are several doctors working there instead of just a couple.  But, I got a really good feeling in the phone with the office manager.
Just keep praying that God opens the right door for mr and gives me wisdom on making the right decision.

TWO Possible new open doors.....

Today I had a working interview at another veterinary clinic. It is called VCA Alpine. I was there from about 8am-3:30pm. I really liked the people. It was a much more relaxed environment. I think I made a good impression to the doctors and the office manager. They have their techs work 4- days a week, for 4- 10 hr shifts. Their office hours are 7a-7pm mon-fri and 8am-6pm on saturdays. They are not opened on sundays so I would always have sundays off. I really liked the way the schedule was designed. The only "cons" about the job would be that alot fo their equipment is out-dated including their computer system. They are running on a "DOS" based program. It is going to take me a while to really know how to truely work that computer system, but the employees are really great. They know that the computer system is very outdated and can be confusing on how to get through. All in all, it was a good day. I had a good time. They really sympathesized with me on working nights. They very impressed that I could work them in an ER environment. The office manager said that they had another interview with other candidate and that they were thinking of making "call backs" as soon as Monday!

Then, this evening- I got another call from another vet clinic. They wanted to set-up an phone interview for tomorrow morning, This one is called Alaska Veterinary Clinic. Their hours are 7:30a-6pm Mon-fri and 9a-12p on saturday. So, I'll give an update on that if everything goes well.
Just keep praying!
