decisions decisions....

hmm haven't been here in awhile (seems like i start all entries like that eh?)

anyhoo i'm so confused right now. all about WORK and career and what the heck is going on with my life.

so right now i am covering a mat leave, supposed to be until may. but the lady on mat moved away and quit. so now my position is done, like end of Feb b/c they want to find a permanent person.

so i can apply for the permanent position at UBC, which is cool to have a permanent part time b/c i get benefits, sick pay, vacation pay, stat pay, etc. which i wouldn't get if i was casual. plus i've already done the job for the past year so it's easypeasy.
there's also a position in Delta (where i worked last summer so i am sort of oriented to the site) starting in april that's my DREAAAAAAM, doing outpatients/healthy heart classes, and DIABETES education which i really want to get into. plus inpatients so all together adds up to pretty close to full time.  (inpatients 3x/week is permanent, diabetes/outpatients is another mat leave until april '10)

my big predikerment is with vacations.........
see i want to take a month off this summer to go to EUROPE, and a few months off in 2010 to volunteer for the olympics. and a month in end of 2010/beginning 2011 to go to the philippines.

if i work in delta it would be frickin sweet cuz it's closer to richmond and it would be an awesome experience to do diabetes, but i likely would not be able to do europe/olympics vacation....
if i work at ubc, i MIGHT be able to take a LOA for my summer vacation if i can find coverage, and maybe swing a few days for the olympics but i don't know yet..... (b/c i would volunteer i think 8 days for each olympic+paralymic, not the whole few months anyways).

ugh.

or option # 3: just do neither and see what else comes up :D. which is risky. which i don't like ><!

this is making my head spin.  i reaaaaaally wanna try doing diabetes stuff, but i have already pretty much decided i need to travel, so i guess that's out the window :(.... b'oh.
ubc ... ugh i'm so indecisive. >< >< >< ><!!!! i think i should just try my best to get the LOA first... see what happens... i guess i can always quit if i can't...?? ugh that's so not me.  but there'll be lotsa other jobs since it's summer and they're alwayz desperate to cover vacations rite...??? and i DO want to really work in richmond hospital too so i can apply there...

bleh ok me going out for lunch to clear my mind -_-....

later dayz ;)

me sad... saturday when me n dustin were driving from kamloops back to vancouver, we saw a fresh accident (fresh as in just happened myb 5 mins before we got there, no ambulances yet).. a van was toooottally flipped over in our lane (they were driving in the other direction and flipped to the other side) and it was so squished, and i actually saw lotsa ppl trying to help a little kid that was lying on the ground.... very traumatizing...

so today i remembered and looked it up online to see if there were any articles or something to let me know if that little kid was okay.... well. the kid was okay.... one 4 yr old, one 2 yr old, and the pregnant mommy.... but the dad died. right before father's day ... so sad.... he was a youth minister from edmonton. RIP guy.
