Joy: Hey guys, this is Joy.

Claire: And this is Claire.

Joy: Hi. 

Claire: Happy Thursday.

Joy: Happy Thursday forever and ever. You know, would we ever switch the days? Probably not. That would just be too much change.

I’ll easily be like, “I don’t want to do that” if I have some type of goal.

Claire: Interesting.

Joy: Like recently I had to take this exam – so if you’re in any type of field where you have to do continuing education credits or get a license in the state of wherever you’re practicing in. Because now I work for a telehealth company,
