I was watching the news today, and they say that even with the slumping economy, and the unemployment rate climbing, there are some fields that are still creating new jobs. Not that I am in need of searching for a job, as I am pretty secure in mine. My previous boss freaked out when my landlady called him for a reference, as he thought she was calling for a job reference. LOL, she called me the next day and told me that she had to spend a few minutes calming him down, and then he called me and yelled at me for giving him a heartattack. Even though he has been replaced, the president of the rescue league has pretty much told one of my friends that the manager or I would have to probably physically assault someone, or start stealing the petty cash to be fired at this point. But, I don't allow this to give me too much security, as the future of the league itself is still in question. But anyway, I seem to have gone off on a tangent here. The point is, that on the news, they said that anything regarding healthcare is still growing. There is a need for something like 40,000 phlebotomists across the country right now. Phlebotomists are the people who draw blood. I had been considereing that to begin with, and now I hear on the news that they are always looking for more, and the idea seems to be getting better and better. And phlebotomists make more money than I will at the rescue league. The problem is that previously, when I had looked up phlebotomy classes, they are full time classes for 3-4 months, and I would have to quit my job to take them. Ugh, I can't afford to do that. Phlebotomy is certainly something to keep in mind though. My car is in desperate need of either some rather pricy repairs, or in need of being retired, which would put me in need of a new car... again. I want to take Fred to the vet, as his ear was itchy, and he seems a little wheezy, but not bad enough to make me rush him to the vet. And the vet very well may laugh at me because there may be nothing wrong with him, and I could just be paranoid. I also need to take Gita to a good bunny vet, and get him neutered. Oiy, I'm below the upper and above the lower, I'm stuck in the middle where $$ gets tight, but it looks like I'm doing alright

Its so nice to have a friend who I can be crazy with, and who I can be so open with. I mean, I still keep a lot of things to me, but to have a friend IRL who doesn't seem to judge me, and who I am comfortable around is such a nice thing. It had been such a llong time. Its nice to be able to be me, and to not feel like I am holding sooo much back, and to not feel so stuffy and repressed. Ahhhhh the sweet taste of freedom lol.
