First PA job interview: I think I'm going to throw up

Soooooooooo, Husband has a job interview at 6 pm today!!!!!  And I'm so nervous I think I could throw up.  I even bought one of those take and bake pizza's for dinner for me and the kids (so that I can't burn anything or add too much Tabasco to the chicken while I'm totally preoccupied and poison us all) and I'm so sick to my stomach with nerves that I don't think I can eat it.  And y'all, I have to be pretty nauseous to turn down pizza.

More about the job:  It's in his top 3 choices of  specialties and he is meeting them in a really casual restaurant.  Perfect for my husband to tends to get nervous is stuffy situations. The PA who he did a rotation with has recommended him for the job and she will be there as well.  Another praise that he will have an allies with him.Thank you, Jesus.

Now, when they told us that rotations were the best interview anyone could have and that a lot of students got jobs where they rotated, I honestly didn't believe them.  Husband has had great rotations (with the exception of 1 where the preceptor purposefully called him "student" instead of using his name.  It was some sort of strange hazing thing.  What is your opinion, Paige? Oh, well I'm so glad you asked.  I think the chick was on a power trip and has never been in a real leadership position until now and thought this was a cool, funny thing to do.  When in actuality it took every ounce of self control not to go to the clinic myself and give this chick a piece of my mind and a lesson in TRUE leadership to boot.  Whew. Glad I got that off my chest). 

So, IF he is offered this job, we will have some major decisions to make.  First being what to do with a real paycheck?  You know, the ones that actually cover all of your bills.  Yeah, I haven't seen one in so long I can't remember what it's like either.  But oh my goodness. What a blessing it is to have a decision to make?  It's crazy cool.

If you are reading this and thinking how your PA school journey is just beginning and will never end, trust me.  It does end.  And regardless of the outcome of this meeting tonight, the feelings and excitement of this day has been.worth.it.all.

And yes, I did tell him what to wear.
