So, I seriously love the career that I've chosen. 

I am a Spanish Interpreter & Translator. 

The work that I do may seem simple and honestly, most of the time it is pretty routine. That's not what I love about it though. I love it when it gets complicated, when there is a sense of urgency, when life really matters & you are the one who can make a difference. The other perk of my job is that the medical providers have learned to trust me & my professionalism. They know that I respect what they do & am fascinated by all sorts of medical procedures. They know that I want to see what their job entails & that what they do is amazing.

I have had the privilege, honor to witness some amazing things in my work.

I have seen the attempts to resuscitate a life. The medical staff never quit, they tried to do chest compression so much that I literally saw & heard the ribs break. I have seen a patient bleed out & the floor being splattered with blood. Seen a C-Section. That one was kind of intense. At the time, I was 4 months pregnant & nobody knew but they let me watch. I thought, that I was gonna pass out as they opened the lady up, not because of the sight but because of the smell... but when the baby came out, everything was ok. I also realized, that I never wanna have one of those done, unless it's an emergency! 

I saw a CT guided liver biopsy & realized how precise everything needs to be. Today, I saw a pacemaker be inserted. I used to work as a Unit Clerk on a Cardiac Unit & throughout my time there, I saw plenty of patients go get that done & come back but never witnessed one until today. I also don't want one put in haha.

Hmm...I'm noticing a pattern...I don't want anything done to me but I want to watch everything done to others haha...sorry, laughter may be inappropriate.

I'm not listing everything but those are the ones that right now are making an impact in my mind & that I can comfortably post about without worrying about posting it.

I don't know how many people can have that much variety in their daily work lives but I am glad that I can enjoy it. It sometimes, makes me think that I should change my career. I would love to be a surgeon. My specialty would be neuro or plastic surgery. I like cutting into stuff & making it better. 

Although, then there are days that I think that I'd be great Private Investigator, Criminal Analyst, CEO to some big private company, or get back to competitive dancing....oh there are so many things that I want to do! I blame my desire to be SO many things on this one show I saw as a kid. The Pretender.

Who else saw this show? Seriously, the guy could do anything at any given time. A new career every single day! He was who I wanted to be. Freaking show, making me think that I could do that in the real world. Maybe I should go into acting so that I could pretend to be something new everyday.

Although, at the end of the day, you know what I'm happiest for? Being a mom! That is by far the most challenging job ever! The love & patience required is astounding. At my job, I could technically walk away from an uncomfortable situation. At home, the easiest way to solve a conflict is to tell that person, I love you & keep going strong.

I'm thankful for my chosen career but earnestly, I can't wait until the day that I can be a stay at home mom. My children are by far, more interesting & amazing than anything out there.
