Job Interview!

[Crankin]

You know, I think people in this field (apart from those with their own practices) do not have a clue how the business world works. I always see workshops for therapists, supposedly I am sure my age, who are "afraid" of new ways. I think this is more her personality, but the doc said this is how all these places are, and I should not listen to my DH on this. And he's an older guy, who works at a few places. Well, I guess I just got the first job I've had, with no written letter of the offer. Come to think of it, I don't think I had one for my present job. In many ways, public schools are even light years above this. Yet, everything she told me about the way they operate, the feel of the place, and the way the place is set up made me feel that I will be a good fit. You are right, she is judgmental. I am just so thankful I had prior knowledge of this from the doc. The thing is, I probably have some of the same feelings about the women who have been issues for her, but I have learned not to be judgmental about it. That group was judgmental toward me when I was a working mom of young kids, and I just lived my life, knowing I was doing what was right for me. And, there's the cultural/religious issue, too. Sometimes there's this "one-upmanship" between Jewish women, so I am just going to have to be so nice, it will kill her! It reminds me of the time I took my son to some event at our temple. After the service, a woman came up to me when she noticed me talking to one of her friends, who was not a member. I happened to have worked with the person I was talking to. The woman (mom of one of my son's classmates) said, "Oh, I didn't think you worked. You always look so nice." Like, all I did was lie around, get my nails done, and eat bon bons!
