First stick

I have been working at the plasma place for one whole week now. The training process as gone by so fast!! The first day was no fun at all. I sat and read for eight hours straight. I think i read more that day than I have read in my entire life time!! On Monday they taught me how to set up the machines. I had to set up 25 machines before I could be taught anything else. Once I got all 25 of my set ups I was able to start on DC's which is basically taking the needle out of the persons arm when they are finish donating. I started DC's on Tuesday and had to get 25 of those also. I finished with my DC's in one day. Today I started sticking people. I was so nervous to start sticking people. The first one I did I was shaking real bad, but it ended up going in smoothly. Afterward I was relieved I had done a super good job and it was not even as bad as I thought it was going to be. I just have 20 more sticks to go before I can be certified!! I am glad I pretty much know everything I need to know.

New Job

As most of you know I haven't had a job for quite sometime. Last week I went in for an interview at APX alarm for inside sales position. I have never done sales before, but I just thought I would give it a try and see how it went. Well I started training this last monday and the first 2 days went well. Then I woke up this morning and decided that it probably wasn't the right job for me. Justin had text me yesterday and told me to go in to Bio-medic(a plasma donation center) because his frined manages it. I went there this morning and talk to him. He said that everything looked great and I seemed like a great person for the job and I got it!! I am so excited to be working in a plasma donation center. I get to meet a lot of new people. It is going to be a lot of fun!! Thanks for hooking me up Justin!!

Mini Christmas Tree




You can't have a house without a Christmas Tree at Christmas time. None of us really had money to go out and buy a tree, but I really wanted one. I had a Job interview and I decided that if I got the job I would go buy a tree. I got the job so I went straight to the Chirstmas Tree lot. I only had $15 dollars so all I could afford was a little mini tree but it sure was cute. I brought it home and since I bought the tree my roommates had to buy the decoration. Later that night Kara and Tiffany went out and bought some orniments and lights and of course Tiffany couldn't have a tree with out tinsel. When they got home we blasted the Christmas music, made hot chocolate and decorated the tree all together. It is not the best Christmas tree ever but it does the job for us. After we decorated the tree we went and looked ar Christmas lights. We saw a house that had the whole north pole in thier front room. It was pretty cool!
