Everyone has to compromise SOMETIMES

One of the many benefits of working for a start-up dental practice is that Sofie comes with me 2-3 days per week and nobody minds if I spend most of my time taking care of her.

Currently our patient database has more Test patients in it than real ones and I am often on the phone with our software support learning how to navigate this program. We are operating on a shoestring budget and are working hard to book our days and generate income.

Part of being a small office means we all have to handle various activities to help the business grow. For instance, I am member of our local Chamber of Commerce, which is awesome and super fun. Sadly, not all tasks are so pleasant.

Today I was asked to clean the windows. Mud-spattered windows on the outside of our building. I squinted in the sunlight as I scrubbed, trying not to get dirt or cobwebs on my clothing and pointy shoes, and grumbled, "Way to apply your MBA, sistah. Good thing I graduated with distinction."

And yet, I'm still mostly happy here.

Mostly.
