I was informed today that the current Director of the ambulance district I work for will be leaving by the end of the month. He applied for, and got hired at a different job. Due to financial problems and the stress/family strain that comes with it, he's calling it quits after 4 short months.
I have expressed interest and been assured that the job will be mine. This is a tremendous opportunity for me career wise, as NOBODY ends up Director of an entire district after 5 years of service and especially at only 28 years old.
This district is in dire financial trouble, owing a lot of money to the IRS due to poor management and oversight. Assuming I can turn it around and get us financially "healed" it would secure my career, and boast my reputation :D

This will take a LOT of work however. I will essentially be working Monday-Thursday 8am-4pm, and be running ambulance calls periodically throughout the day on those day, and then be working 24 hour shifts, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. So working 7 days a week, I will literally have no time for lasers.

I'm hoping I can fix this place, and run a stable district for the next 30 some years. This is what career medics shoot for, and its being offered to me just a year from being licensed as a Paramedic so it's something I cannot pass up, even if it fails.

Thus, I'll be trying to sell off what I have over the next 2 weeks as I will not have time to sell any of it after the end of this month.

That is a great opportunity. You must chase the career you want. Laser business is just a hobby.
Grap this chance with both hands and I wish you good luck with the next move in your life.

I'll miss you, too, Matt. You are an asset to this community. And I suspect you are an asset to anything you set your mind to do. I think I speak for others when I suggest you don't be a stranger, and keep us posted about this wonderful opportunity of yours.

Best wishes to you.

it's a long shot.....but hopefully I can pull it off. If not, I have friends in medium/high places (lol) at other districts so I can have a replacement job in no time.
