I have received an offer to work for a primary clinic in town, and I have accepted.

[Aristus]

I sent my acceptance e-mail off a few minutes ago.

My base salary is actually a little less than I was earning before, but the position comes with a generous signing bonus and quarterly production bonuses.

I’ll be working four tens a week, which means I get my extra day off to spend with Mrs. Aristus without having to take a pay cut to do it.

I’ve already met the medical team I’ll be working with, and I like them all very much, and they seem to like me.

Thank you all for your support and encouragement since I got laid off. I raise a glass in gratitude. I love you all…

23. My step daughter is a nurse practitioner. She worked in a primary office for 18 years until the place got bought out by

a large firm. She received a payout of over $ m. Last week, she started a new position in a section of a primary. She is the managing partner of her office. She runs it and the supervising physicians practice is a couple of miles away.

I expect her to make another $million or so when she retires in a few years.


I hope your career is as successful.

[Mr.Bill]

24. Does this mean there will also be a Thursday night drinking thread?

Congratulations on the new job, and since I quit drinking, I will toast you with an Arnold Palmer Friday night.

[True Dough]

62. An Arnold Palmer?

Sounds like you'll be swinging...


golf clubs!

[Mr.Bill]

78. No, I don't golf. An Arnold Palmer

is half iced tea and half lemonade. Pretty good substitute for an alcoholic beverage.

[Figarosmom]

25. Congrats

Many times a layoff leads to good things.

[sheshe2]

26. Congratulations, Aristus.

They are lucky to have you on their team.

[Phoenix61]

Same day as Mrs. Aristus, who also works four tens. Wednesday off is great. You’re never further than two days away from a day off.

[Aristus]

46. January 27th.

So I'll still have some time to relax. But credentialing is a dense, tedious process, so I will be spending a lot of time on that.

[True Dough]

63. Good on you!

Nice to have that remaining time knowing you have something in place in a few months. Enjoy the hell out of it, Aristus!

[niyad]

74. Didn't you just go through all of that for your previous job? You have to do it all again?

[Aristus]

75. Yep. Credentialing is a headache.

Rounding up all of my documents (medical license, DEA number, etc.), making sure everything is up to date, downloading them, uploading them, frontloading them, ( ) sweating out the “Here’s a list of fifteen more documents we need from you” phone calls…

[joanbarnes]

and on the same day I took the COVID vaccine. I also had my flu and pneumonia vaccines with the past few months so the only one remaining is for shingles.,

Anyhow, congratulations to you and I think that you will be okay with the four day work week. I know that I enjoyed the extra day of freedom when I had that schedule.
