Adventures with Dr. Lady Cutie Troublemaker

So I’m at Helios NOT looking for a job. I’m just visiting with friends and surfing and drinking coffee. No guilt, no muss, no fuss. No more feeling like I want to will people to call me back. No more trying to force reality to finally do what I want. No more wondering what’s going to happen. I don’t have all the details I need just yet, but I will know soon. What a wonderful feeling.

I called the other place where I was really trying to get a job and told them about my offer from this other place. Apparently, they had a LOT of highly qualified people apply for that, so I don’t have a decision to make. Honestly, I’m a little relieved. This would have been a REALLY difficult decision for me.

So a few more details. This is a position in a brand new group practice that is co-owned by two women who work primarily with children and families. There was a nice little waiting room with music playing. There are three offices and a playroom. The financial arrangement is good. When it’s group practice, there isn’t a salary exactly. Instead, I pay a certain percentage of what I bring in to cover the overhead (rent, billing, supplies, etc.). They have already done a lot of marketing, so I will go in with referrals already in place. Very nice. I will also get supervision from them for a while, which I like. I will be doing individual, family, and group intervention and assessment. I don’t know yet when I will start, but I imagine it will be next week. Very fancy!
