This week I worked 52 hours.

Well more than that if you count my Sunday job…that would make it 57 hours. I worked last sunday, monday through friday, I have to work 5 hours today, 5 hours tomorrow, and then monday through wednesday, and friday, and then sunday again. I got a $2 raise…$2! My boss left for vacation and put me in charge, and he said I did such a good job that he wanted to give me a bonus…feeling ballsy I asked for a $2 raise instead, and he said yes. He then told me he was considering me for the manager position but I told him that while I love doing all the paperwork, working with patients and insurance companies and processing all the payments, I do not want to manage. I think it was the right choice. I had already gotten my raise so I didn’t see it as anything but too much responsibility. I want to keep my head down, do my work, and keep the two close friends I’ve made there happy. It is safe to say that I wont be looking for a new job any time soon. With the opportunity to have control over my work and up to 50 hours a week available…well I am really not going to find anything like this anywhere else. I also like the patients, I like the atmosphere of a small family dentistry, and I see nothing but growth from this job.

Im this —- close to getting my license. I have a car, almost moved into my apartment which is getting internet today. I actually have a decent amount of money saved, in 30 days my love is coming home for two weeks, by then everything will be together, I’m confident of that.
