so i got the job that i interviewed for...a few problems...
1) it's a study focusing on patients in community clinics - right now they have two sites: one in k-town (primarily korean patients), and the other in south central (primarily hispanic and african-american). so they wanted someone who could speak korean or spanish. i barely speak both of those (as many of you know) and i told them so when i interviewed, but they assured me it wouldn't be a problem. still, i may be interviewing some patients in korean by just reading out questions, and it's an std study, so i'll be asking patients about their, ahem, intimate behavior...in korean. that should crack you guys up. it cracks me up....
2) i'll only be working 10 hours for the first month or so...which would be a welcome break, but a financial difficulty....plus...
3) i love working with maria, my supervisor and john wayne, and we were trying to time things so that she and i would find other positions at around the same time...i don't want to leave her in a lurch. there was something promising for her, but it kinda fell through, so now she'll probably be here for a while after i leave...and i feel really bad...so, that, along with #2 is making me think that i might stay for a little bit, but with really cut down hours...though i'm not sure if that will really make a difference. so maybe i should just take off and enjoy a little break? but money will be tight...but it'll be nice to just have to put in one day and two hours for work and concentrate on school the rest of the time...decisions, decisions.
