Its so hard to say goodbye to yesterday…

So for those who have not heard, I finally interviewed and accepted an official J-O-B with World Link (www.worldlink-shanghai.com) and they conned me into starting on Monday – they said I don’t need an official work visa to start – I’m thinking – hmmm – should I contact the Chinese authorities about that one? Probably not if I want to stay in China

As you know I like to ponder a lot in these blogs... so as I do, I start to hum that old familiar 4 part harmony of Boyz II Men as I say goodbye to yesterday and the magical Tai Tai lifestyle. Chapter 1 “I’m born: welcome to your Shanghai life of leisure” comes to a screeching halt. I’m thinking chapter 2 will be titled: “The Wonder Years” – as in: I *wonder* what the HELL I’m doing giving up my life of leisure to work with pregnant ladies all over again. God always has a plan and I’m wondering what is up his sleeve. You know how God can be – shifty – but in a good way I suppose. (whew, no bolts of lightening on that one).

Even after telling the general manager I was only willing to work 3 days a week and his nursing staff sucks, he was still willing to hire me and pay me a full time salary. Why I ask? Because he said he knows the type of person I am and that I would probably be checking my email from home *and* that I needed a day at home for “continuing education” related work. And I thought I was a good BS'er...The sad thing is, he is probably right. I’m such an ESFJ sucker.

So this is it, my last week and I think my lunches are booked and I’m getting my hair done on Thursday. That leaves me with needing an afternoon massage, a mani and pedi...well, okay I confess, I had a pedicure last week, but another couldn't hurt, right?

Now really... How much longer could you have lived the life of leisure without going more crazy that you already are... I mean um... your a good crazy... Congrats on the new gig and don't stress too much. Just remember you are helping to bring miracles into existance; the real proof of God's existance. Ok that is enough religious talk from me!
