getting to know the neighbors

Sunday, December 17th, 2006

so dec is usually pretty busy for massage. here in ontario most have extended benefits through work that cover a fair amount of massage. so at the end of the year many have realized that they have a few massages to squeeze in. but thats not why i’m writting about massage. i live in a condo, 2 30 storey buildings. lots of people here. i have been prodded to advertise here as the resident RMT. i have tried that, but not very successfully or aggressively. so i did get a call, and in my nervousness severly undercharged. but hey, a 2 minute commute in the elevator, i can’t really complain. so it was a pleasant experience and i got home in time for dinner. not bad. what makes me nervous about working on residents is the feeling that i know secrets about them. i dont know why that sort of turns me off and makes me not want to massage them. strange huh?
i really love my job. i love it even more now that i’m in the osteopathic program at http://www.osteopathiecollege.com/. i have a little more confidence in what i do on a daily basis and cant wait to finish the damn program. i’m in year 2 of 5. and that is not including the 2 years to work on and finish a thesis. ugh. i ask myself "what am i doing"?! but in the end, i will be able to help people and their aches and pains and make it go away. it has worked for me over the years too. i still have a long way to go.
