So today we took the Christmas tree out of the bag, and discovered something that may have been a mouse nest. We're not really sure. It looked like a giant ball of belly button lint. Ick. So my dad and I went to Linens N Things and got a new one. That was pretty exciting.
I shopped alot today, and bought alot for the babies and my mom and Zan, and I got vanilla chapstick and mini packages of Puffs tissues for myself.
Tomorrow is finishing up Christmas shopping, and hanging out with Frank. We're hoping to watch a movie but we can never decide on one and then end up watching Gilmore Girls or Heroes. But Gilmore Girls recently, since we finished Heroes. Which is such a good show.
I've been really tired lately, and I'm not sure why. It's annoying.
The job is annoying too. The other girl in the kitchen wants more hours, so they're giving her some of mine. Naturally. I mean, it's not like I'm constantly asking for more hours or anything *is sarcastic*. I would really, really love a reliable job. Haven't had one yet. Even when I was at the Wal, they always cut my hours for stupid reasons without warning me.
Any ideas for decent, reliable jobs that don't require a college degree? ..... Any at all....??
Yea, me neither.
PS- sorry I'm on the grumpy side today. It happens.

Lisa, my job doesn't require a degree, just some training. I'm a licensed nurse's assistant. I don't know about Mass, but in NH you take a 5 week course, and then take a test for your license (it's all common knowledge stuff), then if you work in long term care (nursing home or assisted living)for a year you get paid by the state, so your 5 week class costs nothing. And most LNA licenses are transferrable state to state, so if you ever moved, you could keep your license. And you'll never go without work, because people will always get sick, etc. The pay is pretty decent too. I'm going on 10 years doing this line of work and plan to return to school to get my nursing degree.
Just an idea =-)
That is a decent idea. One question though. Are needles involved in any way? Or dying people? Cause needles and dying people freak me out. I don't like to be reminded of mortality.
Thanks for the suggestion though : )
if you work in a nursing home, you'll have to deal with the dying part. It does happen, and it used to freak me out too, but your facility will have a policy and procedure to deal with post-mortem care. All the "newbies" get taught by me (since i have the most seniority on the floor) and my way of dealing sounds nuts, but it works....just treat them like they are still alive.
If you work in a hospital, rehab center, or homecare, you won't be in contact with people post-mortem (a few exceptions, but I highly doubt it).
There aren't any needles involved. You won't have to give medication, it's out of our scope of practice. You basically feed people, clean them up, and help them with what they can't get done for themselves.
You might want to start in a hospital or rehab place, and gain some experience and then specialize on what works for you. (When I do get my degree I want to be a maternity nurse!)
Hope this was more help!
