and life...

Hey, I can't complain. I got laid off a week ago Friday. They told me it was the economy and that I had the least seniority. I have been through the hurt, the anger, feelings of betrayal, and now I'm in a place of acceptance. I'm determined to finish school. I loved the job because it was comfortable. I had the privelege of talking to all types of people daily, yet getting my down time to do paperwork. I thought it was perfect. I realize now that it wasn't. If I'm not challenged and learning new things, I'm just getting by. I have to learn and be challenged to be truely happy. That is the reason I have taken the path in life that I have, with the people that I have. It's the reason I am who I am today, with no regret. So, I'm thankful. I get to start a new challenge in my life. I'm in a great place right now with my kids, my relationships, my determination, motivation etc... GOD...greatful is good:) And just for the record, my use of GOD is in no way referring to a certain religion. Higher Power just doesn't fit in the sentence. My God is different than his, hers, and the other. I have what I have, feel what I feel, and do what I do. In no way do I wish I was someone else. I lost my house, my ex, my job(s), and everything I knew less than one year ago. I've been closer to death than ever in my life, yet, I'm happier than I've ever been. I just can't complain. Life is good. Seriously though, some people should not be sticking other people with needles:)

some people...

Some people, as my experience has re-enforced today, should not be sticking other people with needles.
If you work in the health care industry, especially in a lab taking blood, and cannot finger poke someone without fucking up, you should definitely not me sticking anyone with a needle.
It's always the same person, always asking for my right hand. I know who you are. I'm not a mean person, but seriously, it's not good and I'm just tired of being nice about it. Two weeks in a row now, a finger poke (no matter how insignificant it may be) should not be this painful. I shouldn't have a fucking cut on my finger!!! I gave birth to two children, I really do know pain. The fact is that going to lab to get a finger poke should just not piss me off this much!!!! I've been through 4 band aids since 9am. This is not normal. I had blood on my debit card because it's a cut, not a poke like it should be. 4 band aids to keep my blood off laundry, door handles, etc...Shit...if you want, I'll give you a drop of blood! Just don't fuck up my shit!! Sorry, had to vent because it really is an issue with me. I go weekly. I know what it should be. This isn't it. No more Monday's at 9:00am.
