I guess it kinda balances out
Jun. 20th, 2012 05:13 pmIt's been a very up and down kinda day.
I had a job interview for a personal care position for a woman who's wheelchair bound. Nothing medical just helping her around the house, and with "transferring." She said you need to be able to assist in moving a 90-100lb woman. I got there and she's more like 120lb and assisting means picking up entirely dead weight. I gave it one go and while they seemed perfectly happy as I hadn't dropped her I could tell instantly it would be very bad for my wrists. and that I WOULD at some point risk dropping her. So no job for me :-(
But then Rob booked a REALLY nice big gig for a week in Arizona. It's all expenses paid and will more than cover the cost of getting the new laptop we've needed for AGES with enough left for bills. And as it's in Phoenix where his parents live, they agreed to schedule his return flight a few days later so he can spend 4 days with them.
In the end I suppose it's a wash...I better get back to studying bones. I have my big practical exam tomorrow.
