Aww that is an important job.

It was all luck and faith ...
I was in between jobs - the librarian were I worked became"ancient" and "stubborn" so our chemistry was gone after 9 years working together. So I quit that job on an impuls (still shocked about that one ) I did some work as waitress, that too is a calling, so couldn't keep that up and started looking for jobs online. Stumbled upon the Red Cross website and I saw a free position to assist on mobile collections of blood - there was no history in being a nurse needed, just First Aid and motivation was enough. So I applied for the job. A week later got a call from the CEO - after 15 minutes he rounded up the conversation, with the words "we'll contact you." 30 minutes after that call my current teamleader called for a more detailed chat. I had to visit a collection to see how things went "on the floor" that same evening. The day after that I had to call and let know if I would go through with it... Within two weeks I applied for the job - had the call - said yes and signed a contract. After the signing they had to give me all sorts of courses and practice. Meanwhile I started my 3rd year working for the Red Cross, received all necessary training (I am highest level of assistant) and I get to work both on the road (for blood only) and in transfusion centers (for both blood and plasma). __________________

Wow, Mary, that sounds serendipitous. Too bad about the chemistry going away with the former boss. There has to be chemistry if you're going to work 8 hours a day with someone.

Should we continue this conversation on the OT thread? I think that's a more appropriate place to talk about non-book things. Quote:
