Got the paperwork packet yesterday morning for the new job offer. I had misunderstood and thought it would come by email. Then got the call yesterday afternoon. Background check cleared, I start training Mon morning.
So, the $23.50 is my base pay. I will get paid more in reality. I get additional pay for working PRN and more on top of that for shift differential on evening or night shifts. So per hour I should be getting much closer to what I was paid in NM. I think there may also be differences according to which facility and which units I work. Mental health may pay more than doing med passes, for example. High security facilities will pay more than low security. So the highest paying (and most dangerous) will be mental health in a high security facility. In that case, money may be great but how much am I will to take that risk? Remains to be seen. I know I'll do it at least once and see how it goes. Just because I know me.
Still waiting for my NM tax refund. Got last deposit from the plasma center this morning. All that gives me a good segue from one job to the next where pay is concerned.
GF came over early yesterday. We had a great evening. I was right that her digestive issues were from stress. After she spent some time with me, her stomach calmed down and she felt much better. The irony is that when she does not feel well, I am less likely to see her.
I did the front brakes on the van yesterday. However, it has dual calipers on each side and I got air in the lines. Almost impossible to do dual calipers without having to bleed the system. Not enough fluid and no tubing, so I had to walk to auto parts store a while ago.
Well, NOW I am feeling the humidity here! Less than a 2 mile walk and I was sweating like crazy! Plus while walking, my right leg spasmed badly. I could feel the tendons and ligaments pull taut like piano strings. I had forgotten to take my Baclofen this morning. Bad thing to forget.
So, cooling down and waiting for spasm to stop. Then bleed the brakes.
