Tomorrow, the rest of my life

[Haunted]

Tomorrow at 2pm sharp I have my interview for the Veterinary Technician school. I am soooo fucking nervous. This woman, Dr. Blakenship holds my life in her palm. I've already written these four lame ass essays.

Please wish me luck.

[Elvis_Christ]

Hope it all goes well for you! Best of luck holmes :)

[Dante'sInferno]

I wish you the best! :)

[Geddy]

I can certainly identify with being nervous over something of this sort, and it's the worst type of nervous. Good luck, I hope all goes well.

[Roderick Usher]

YOU hold your future in your own hands.

Sieze the moment. Do not allow her to have some sort of godlike power over you in your mind. You should be interviewing her to see if this is the school for you... there are other schools and other gatekeepers.

Relax.

You've got this.

[Haunted]

You're exactly right, S. However I can't sleep. I want to eat like a champ (not gonna happen). I've been texting Posher all night.

She is not the Goddess. She does not control my destiny, but damn she could make it a little easier.

I just hope she doesn't ask me any bullshit questions in the interview.

[fortunato]

I just hope she doesn't ask me any bullshit questions in the interview.

Probably no way to avoid that, unfortunately.

But like you said, Sean's right.

And the very best of luck to you.

I just hope she doesn't ask me any bullshit questions in the interview.


Interviewer: What would you consider you worst fault?

Me: Well I'm a perfectionist. If anything i try too hard to make things perfect..That and the fact i piss myself alot..

[ManchestrMorgue]

Good luck with the interview.

Things that are very important to us tend to make us the most nervous (naturally). But it's rarely the end of the world - there will be other opportunities. Just do your very best, and try to get a good sleep the night before.

[hammerfan]

H, you know that I'm sending all my good vibes your way. I know you'll do great. And I couldn't agree more with Roderick - he's absolutely right.

[Papillon Noir]

Good Luck! Just take deep, slow calming breaths, make sure you're early to your interview and you'll do fine. :)

[newb]

drink about a six pack before the interview....it will calm your nerves. :D

[ChronoGrl]

Good luck!!! That's so exciting.

[ferretchucker]

Isn't that the woman who babysat Michael Myers for the druid cult?

Anyway, best of luck to you.

[Haunted]

I'm such a whore for posting in my own thread...

Well, I'm off to my interview. Goddess go with me, and thanks everyone. You're right on, Sean. I've got this.

[scouse mac]

Good luck and dont be nervous! Look her in the eye when answering questions and you will be fine!

[The Mothman]

keep us posted.

[hammerfan]

So, how did it go?

[ChronoGrl]

Yeah, how did it go?

Also: What made you want to go into Veterinary Technology? I am honestly considering changing my career path to this direction, but would love to hear from someone who has already made the leap. What did you do before this? And have you already gone to college (I'm just wondering how it works if you already have a degree and then want to get into Vet Tech - do you go for the second Bachelor's or do you go for the Associates?) - Sorry to be nosy; these are all questions that I'm asking myself as I'm looking at local Vet Tech programs.

Concerns that I have before completely changing careers:

Being around sick and dying animals that I can't help (of course this is countered by being around sick animals that I CAN help)
Crazy hours - What ARE the hours? (then again, it would probably depend on where you work; private practices are more M - F, but emergency care is any time)


Were these concerns that you had? Or are they non-issues? Not trying to pry - this is what's going through my head right now.

[milktoaste]

An ex co-worker of mine is going to vet school next year. He's a real loud mouth a-hole so it's hard to weed out fact from fiction, but aparently there are alot of options in veteranery care. For instance, my co-worker(27 yrs old) wants to specialize in large animal care so he'll be working with horses and cows on sight at farms and ranches. This would be quite different than a city vet who would work more with household pets. I believe all vets need to know the same basic skills, but that you can then 'major' in a speciality.


It's never too late too follow your dreams yadda yadda yadda, if you aim for the moon, surely you'll land among the bla bla bla.

[EatMySkorts]

Wowzers! That's so ambitious.

This has given me new hope! I just might trot down to the funeral home and ask for an internship. Bet they'll let me play with the dead guys!

[Doc Faustus]

Or the morgue. I once read a kickass story that posited the question "what if Freddy Krueger worked at the morgue?"

[EatMySkorts]

Oh, I'd suck Freddy.
