I am rapidly realizing that it’s ok that my time in the Emergency Services is coming to a close. I have had some great times on this job, my certifications expire in 2018, I will most likely go through one more certification cycle  as it makes logical sense especially if I am going to an education role. I am also looking for a right fit Web or Ux job for me, although I am unsure how to address explaining the upcoming surgery to a potential new boss, I can only assume saying “yeah I will be going out for a month or so in a few months to have my hip put back together so I can walk and not be in pain” might be a deal breaker.
Mrs. Zm looked at me and gave me the nuclear option today to quit my job and coast for a few months till my surgery, this of course would allow me to do a lot of her back end work for her Pure Romance Business as well as free me up to do some projects around the house with Little ZM’s help this summer, Admittedly that option is very very tempting, its actually to tempting for me, my teenage years had me with a father who didn’t work due to injury and a step father who didn’t work due to his profession not being relevant, this actually may have instilled in me a bit of comfortable normalcy. I also watched my mother work herself ragged and become distant to myself and my brother, and that is the last thing I want to do to both my wife and my son.
So here I am debating the future, right now I am in dispatch, they are willing to work with my future, although I am having troubles now, it’s nothing that I can’t overcome with dedication, who knows what the next year holds for me, but I’m sure it will be interesting.
