New Job

It's been crazy the past few days. I have a new job that I didn't really apply for...but I'm happy about it. Here's how it all went down.
Last Saturday I was visiting my mother-in-law at Legacy (a skilled nursing facility) nearby and was walking in the hallway with her. As we walked back to her room there was a physical therapist getting a patient in the hall. My mother-in-law is quite proud that I do what I do and introduced me as "this is my daughter-in-law who is a physical therapist." Well this PT also happened to be the Rehab director, he looked at me and asked "When do you want to work?"
I had the boys with me of course so I asked if I could call him the following week. He later dropped off his business card to my m-i-law and she passed it to me. I called on Tues, he had left for the day. Wednesday I happed to be up in that area so I printed off a resume and wandered in to see what it was all about. He saw me and asked "Do you have something for me?" I told him I had a resume and he escorted me to his office handed me an application and told me that he had to have me fill it out to go through the proper channels and told me to just put "see resume" on most of it. As I did that he wrote down days that he needs in the next 2 months.
I walked out 20 minutes from the time I got there and had a job that I hadn't necessarily intended to apply for. I actually worked today and REALLY enjoyed it. So I'll be picking up a few more shifts. That's got to be some kind of record, beginning a job that I hadn't really applied for and starting less than 48 hours later.
Man, I LOVE that I have a job that I love and have so much opportunity to work and help others.
