Things I miss...
(about the previous job)

- I knew my way around the hospital
- I could park in the garage and not get a ticket (grr)
- There were places to hang out and friends to hang out with when I didn't have anything to do
- I could just go home if I didn't have anything to do
- I got to sit and talk to patients for hours. Learn about their lives, their families, their struggles. Sit and pray with them if I wanted to. Develop relationships with their families.
- Talking to my supervising doc on the phone was fun. And I wasn't afraid of him.
- I could make medical decisions when I wanted to, totally manage patients' needs on my own, unless I wanted input from my supervising doc.
- I could just hang around with my coworkers and talk about their lives, encourage them, etc.
- When I went home at night, I wasn't thinking about "I wonder if I'm going to know what to do with the patients tomorrow." (most of the time)
- I knew what was expected of me
- Nobody cared if I was late

Yes, there are things I definitely don't miss. And I'm not saying these are bad things, or that I've had problems so far. But these are some of the things I've been thinking about today.
(and I did get a parking ticket today, grr).

Then I went down to the potter's house, and behold, he wrought a work on the wheels. And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.Then the word of the Lord came to me saying, O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the Lord. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel.
