- Mood: A little excited !
- Weather: overcast, rainy
And as the reflexology clients are hardly banging down my door, I
might do it.
So, my wonderful acupuncturist Karen, who I've become very friendly
with lately as she's helping me with my pelvic pain issues, calls me
up this morning. She starts telling me about this new technology called the Relaxation Bed (here's the link of you want to check it out, it's a little
technical,
http://www.flodestressing.com/index_files/page0001.html)
... and says the medical researcher is coming to her place (she has
her own business) to train her and 2 other 'technicians' how to use
it. It's full on 2 day training and it will be the first 'bed' here
in Florida, they're mainly in PA and MA and the Netherlands.
So there was me thinking, as I'm so fu*ked up right now, that she
wants a guinea pig for it. Nope, she wonders if I want to train as
one of the technicians ! She says it's only $15-20 p/h (she knows I
get $60 for my reflexology, as she does for her acupuncture), but she
thought I might be interested as through all the talks we've had, she
knows I have a wide interest in alternative therapies and healing.
She said it would start at probably 2 days a week, then upto 30 hrs a
week when clients start getting interested.
Firstly I panicked... I haven't worked for anyone else for about 7
years, and never intended to, hence the reflexology. BUT, Karen is
way cool, and despite knowing all my medical issues, is willing to
employ ME...??!
So now I'm thinking that might be a way cool job, and SO in the right
'industry' to help me get reflexology clients too (she's already
recommended me to people for that).
I know generally that jobs here pay crappo to what I'm used to... for
instance, 'they' want me to have a business degree just to be a
secretary, when I have 14 years experience of not only being a
secretary, but a high-level personal executive assistant, office
manager, team of 30 supervisor blah blah, experience over education
doesn't seem to count here, and even if I DID have a Biz Degree, they
would still only pay me $12-14 ph 
I got paid $70 ph in the UK 10
years ago !
So, I'm guessing that for a 2-day trained 'technician' that $15-20 p/h
is not bad.... any thoughts on this?
Whaddya think? Should I go for it?? At what point do I mention that
I need 2 weeks off at the end of August for Burning Man hehhehe? Oh
and most fridays' off to travel to central florida for camping. Oh
and a week off for ski-ing or scuba diving?
I don't want to screw up a good opportunity by being inflexible on
vacations. HELP !!
