So, it's been quite a long time since I last blogged. Suffice it to say, I've had A LOT going on to occupy my thoughts and time. Firstly, I spent the entire month of June studying for my board exam in psychiatry, which I took on June 2nd. With the time I have freed up by not having to study for the boards, I am now working on a "research project" that I will be presenting as a poster at next week's Grand Rounds at the hospital at which I work. I am also finishing up all sorts of crazy paperwork on my current patients since I will be leaving the hospital clinic on June 30th....
Which brings me to the good news. And that would be my new jobs!! For most people my age (early 30's), a new job is exciting, but not the same kind of exciting as when it is your first REAL job. Yup, for all intents & purposes, I have been "in school" for my entire life. Yes, I've been paid for the past 5 years during my residencies, but not the kind of salary that one dreams about when they start a career in medicine.
But, now, is a totally different story! I have not just one, but two (!), real jobs at which I will be paid what I like to call "the big bucks". I won't disclose how much that is, because that would be tacky, but let's just say that I no longer need to worry about paying my rent.
As a reward to myself for having REAL jobs and making "big bucks", I decided to treat myself to a lovely Burberry bag that, in years past, I would have laughed at and thought to myself, "what kind of crack-head would pay that much for a purse???" (Answer: Me!) So, without further ado, here is my lovely bag:
And, as Carrie Bradshaw would say, "Hello, lover!!"
