Well today I am headed in for an interview for an hourly manager position at the Chipotle here in OKC. Yes, I know most of you are probably thinking that I am crazy considering I already have a part time job and I am in medical school and working on an MBA. I agree that I may be crazy, but it will be something to help get us by money wise and depending on the hours that they are looking for, I have the time to give. I would be able to work evenings especially the close shifts and I would be able to work Saturdays and Sunday evenings because I do not work those currently. This is just another way to be certain that our family will be able to make it through all of this. I am not certain that they will be able to work with such a tight schedule so nothing is guaranteed, but I thought it was at least worth a try. Plus, as a bonus I think I get a discount on food there and that I could really use because I love their food.
For those of you that are wondering why I need to work so much the answer is quite simple. Rent and all the other bills pile up fast and after my job money is put toward bills we are still having expenses in the amount of about $400-$500 a month. Loan money is picking up this slack currently, but I would prefer to hold onto as much of the loan money as possible so that when we are ready to start paying it back we have something to start with. Jennifer will help pay me back for this hard work in a little over a year when she is a resident and making the money for the family and I am in elective rotations. For those of you concerned about school, no I am not quitting either MBA or my MD programs. That is one of the major questions I will have to ask today, because if they cannot work around my MD clinicals then I cannot possibly work there. Hopefully they can though and are in need of someone for mainly weekends. All we can do is ask…

I admire the lengths you are going to take care of Jenn and your family (dogs)… I know if my husband had to do the same thing there would be no questioning from him. We are such lucky women!
Best of luck with the job!

[…] UPDATE: The Chipotle interview did not happen after all. On Wednesday, Jen and Cecil got off early and wanted to go to lunch and a movie so I called Chipotle and they asked me to come in the next day instead. Then that day my dad called me (with some tones like it was my mom as well) stating that he thought I was trying to take on far too much at once and that until I get my score back for the USMLE I should just stick with focusing on the MBA and my part time job I currently have. Therefore, I heeded his (and my mom’s) advice and decided against that for now. I felt bad because I did not call Chipotle this time and explain my situation, but I just was really disappointed and didn’t know what to say to them. I know usually that parents actually do know what is best, but sometimes it is really hard to see the correct point at the time. I am certain that their advice will actually be beneficial and every time that I have followed it in the past it has worked out so I am hoping for the same here. […]
