what is your job

[Duck on Wheels]

I am several things:

To make money, I am one of the most hated people in the hospital, lol. I'm a phlebotomist, aka "Vampire."

I, for one, do NOT hate the "vampires"!!! When a doc or nurse has jabbed me black and blue and we're both sweating from the stress cuz she/he can't find a vein, along comes a "vampire" and gently, smoothly, solves the problem.

I agree with Duck on this one....I'll take the expert on vein poking every time!

First, let me state I'm insane for no sane person would do my job, really! I'm a middle school science teacher. Wait, let me add I teach 7th graders. You know those little ones with raging hormones. The ones that think school is for socializing, who needs an education. I typically get in the way of their socialing (this translates into "you're mean" which means I'm doing my job) thus hindering the development of their networking skills. I must be crazy to think that my discussion of genetics is more important than knowing who just broke up or who was sent to the office for sticking french fries up their nose at lunch. Back to the insane part - I must be for I've been doing this job (and loving every minute of it, well most) for the past 18 years.

Only 24 more days to go until summer vacation (I'm not counting).
