It was that night that I had realized that I has been very selfish over the last few years. Never once did I look at, or care for that matter, how my job/schedule affected my family.
So for the next few months, I applied for several jobs... got turned down several times... I was getting very frustrated! Then on December 1, it was announced that the UHP was going to hire for an office specialist in the local office! My heart lept, and I submitted my application the first day the job was posted! Well, needless to say it turned out very well and I have taken a transfer to the Uhp to work in their office.
This will be the best thing for my family and for me. I still love dispatching, and wish I could still find a way to do it after I transfer, but that isn't an option right now. I was able to transfer into the position, without quitting, so I keep my current rate of pay, all my years of service with the department and leave status. GREAT!! I was eggstatic when I found out the transfer/job was mine, but what melted my heart was when I told Brinley that mommy got a new job... When I asked her if she understood, she said she did and I asked her what that meant, and she said, "Now you will put me to bed every night!"
