Just watched this past week's episode of Grey's Anatomy. It's not as interesting as it used to be in my opinion because it hasn't been that dramatic or as funny as I remembered. But despite that, I still enjoy watching it because it reminds me of things that I've had on my mind. Like for example, Christina was mocking the dermatology department because the doctors there had an easier time, they were friendly and kind towards their colleagues, no drama, and everything was super kick back. So part of the show was about how Christina, Meredith, then eventually Izzy and George sit on this couch and watch the dermatology clinic like it's a show (hint: like Grey's Anatomy...duh! Haha. Basically was making fun of itself in way). As attractive as doing something easier and extremely chill was appealing to them, they realized that there are not the happy go lucky easy going people like dermatologists and they crave complex challenges and attract drama. So now I will get to the point of how the episode ties into ideas about my life.
I realized that despite how challenging it is for me to balance, work, school, and other aspects of my personal life, I don't want an easier job. I'm trying to consider what other jobs out there have a schedule that can align with my current lifestyle but still combine the challenge and skills that I use in critical care. I have issues with my job, but nothing I haven't learned to deal with already. No matter what I decide eventually that works with how I want to use my time or what time I choose to work, I love my job. It's not easy for me to always show it at work since I'm so tired and dragging most of the time. I would love to have more energy to be able to apply myself much more and work more efficiently. Anyways, in the meantime, I'm trying to figure things out along the way and we'll see how my story plays out.
