YAWN medicare claims processor YAWN

Yep, medicare claims processor... that's me.
I spend 48 hrs a week trapped in a cubicle trying to sort out claims so that they can be paid for our older americans.
I am NOT thrilled with my job. The pay is fair, the benefits are great, but the work itself pretty much sucks eggs.
I actually interviewed today for a different job and am waiting with bated breath for a call telling me I have the job. I used to be a nurses aide; I worked 3 yrs in a nursing home and 1 year as a private care aid to an elderly man in his home. I also worked 4 yrs as an ambulance attendant. I seriously enjoy helping people, what can I say?
So anyway, I'm trying to get hired as a personal care aid through an agency so I will be able to do what I enjoy and still have benefits.
The interview went well, except that I was told I am "over-qualified". I couldn't help but ask how THAT is a bad thing. I pointed out that I am quite capable of doing the requirements of the job and would be rather handy in a medical emergency besides!
The only thing about the interview that I am seriously concerned about is that I was asked if I could do data entry for thier medicare claims if needed. UGGGGGGGGGG I don't wanna!

Thanks ladies!
I know some will think I'm nuts trying for a "lesser job" but I see it as a positive step in my emotional health and well being.

If you can find what you truly want to do, then it is no longer is work. Money isn't everything. A lifetime of health and happiness is worth more than all the gold in the world.

Well said Janet!
I never minded doing that kind of work, and have to force myself to go in to work now. I know where I need to be...
