And reality hits.

This week I had a working interview at dental office in Vegas. Being that this was my first working interview and my first patients since beginning of May, I felt like I could puke. The day went ok but there was this one patient that halfway through the appointment, he looks up at me and says, 'you must be new at this'. It definitely broke the tension and we joked about it the rest of the appointment! By the end of the day, I was beyond tired!

That night the dentist called and let me know that I GOT THE JOB! It feels like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders! The position is full-time (Monday-Thursday) with benefits (two things that are hard to find in my profession). The office is a 'dental spa' so we have complimentary paraffin hand waxes, heated neck wraps, warm towels, freshly-baked cookies, aromatherapy, and of course, calming spa music. It's fun!

Here is the website if you ever want to come and get your teeth cleaned from one stellar hygienist!

Horray! That is awesome! I know you were worried about that and it turned out fabulous! So cool that it is a spa place with waxes and cookies. Hopefully you get to enjoy some of those perks for free! :)
