I approached my old sleep lab in the UK last year about a job when I knew for definite we were going back.
Keen to see and catch up with my colleagues. Some new faces as to be expected but mostly the "old guard" are still there.
Queue the new head. Quite a force to be reckoned with.
We had a chat last week. My word, the changes. The sleep lab being dragged into the future lol.
Anyways much to my surprise, after the chat about what's happened, is happening and the future plans, she asked if I would start working for them remotely as soon as possible, not only reviewing patients but also mentoring some of the junior members of staff. Eh?
I'm not unkeen (if that's a word) but it was not what I expected. And, I still have a full time job here as head of a department. So, no, it's not possible. But once I leave for Australia it is something I'd consider. I'd have to work at night as the time difference is considerable. But yeah, I'm open to it.
She said it was okay to live anywhere in the world and do this job. That statement blew my mind completely! This opens the doors to the possibility of living in two countries every year.
Amazing what's happening in the world these days. Although I shouldn't be surprised, I am.
