GOOD NEWS, GOOD NEWS! I have been given a job offer! I'm SOOOOO excited. Not just because I really need a paycheck but because I'm excited to work where I will be working. When I learn all the details I will let you know but for now I can tell you that it's at a girls home that is set up for teen mom's and their babies. I will be working overnights 3 days a week and as much as I am NOT looking forward to that, I think I can make it. I still need another part time job so I'm working on making it all come together and hopefully it will...soon!
Anyway...so yesterday I go to complete paperwork and of course I have to go get a drug test, a TB test (for the 3rd time this week...no need to panic, I'm just in the middle of doing my health screening for my internship as well), and a physical. I leave the HR department and am looking at the map of health clinics that I am allowed to go to and trying to decide if I should go right then or procrastinate and wait till the morning (after all, I only have 24 hours to get this done). I figure out the one closest to me and start to head over there. I notice that it says, "CALL TO MAKE YOUR APPOINTMENT TODAY!" I think that is just fantastic cause I don't like waiting in health clinics at all! I call and ask to make an appointment and the conversation goes like this:
Health Clinic:"Thank you for calling Concentra how may I direct your call?"
Me: "I am calling to make an appointment for my preemployment health screening."
Health Clinic: "You don't need to make an appointment just come on in."
Me: "Can I make an appointment so I don't have to wait in line as long?"
Health Clinic: "No. We don't make appointments, we are a walk in only clinic."
Me: "Oh. Do you know what clinic does make appointments?"
Health Clinic: "None of them. We are only a walk in clinic. We do not take appointments. Emergencies get first priority."
Me: "Ok. How busy are you right now?"
Health Clinic: "We are really busy right now."
Me: "When is your least busiest time?"
Health Clinic: "We are always busy."
Me: "What are your hours?"
Health Clinic: "We are open 24 hours."
THOUGHTS IN MY HEAD: Really...you're open 24 hours and your totally BUSY ALL THE TIME? Maybe, but doubtful!
Me: "Ok. Thank you!"
Health Clinic: "Anything else I can help you with?
Me: "No. Thank you. Bye."
Health Clinic: "Bye"
So I drive over to the health clinic perplexed by the "Make an appointment" invite only to find out that you can't and when I get to learn that "BUSY" is only ONE other person in the clinic!!!! That's right only ONE! I was a little annoyed that she said that they were busy. She must have thought that I said, "HOW LAZY are you?" not "HOW BUSY are you?"
Anyway...I have now completed 3 TB tests, a full physical, a drug test, and have had to receive an MMR vaccine (NOT my idea of a good time!). I'm as healthy as a horse, drug free, and I don't have TB. GO ME!

I love that! Maybe she can not think of two things at once so she was already thinking about one question when you asked her another. Come on Jess, give the lady a break! YEAH YOU HAVE A JOB! I can't wait to hear all of your fun adventures during JLCC time.
I always love to read your posts! In a situation where I would be annoyed to the point of wanting to get to the clinic just to punch the lady in the face, you just laugh it off and keep moving forward. I love that about you!
