Oh hey, and this just happened. I submitted my application for a program at an out of town school to become a Medical Device Reprocessing Technician, which is terrifying on so many levels. It's only a three month thing if I get in but still. I mean, I've been looking into living in residence. AAAHHH NOOO. I'm hoping they have a special building for "mature" students.
Oh wait, nobody knows what the hell a medical device reprocessing technician is? It's basically all the boring parts of my tattoo shop job but huge and in a hospital. So anyway it's some kind of career move. All I know is you get to wear scrubs all day and not do customer service so it's kind of like a dream job for me.
