tomorrow i take another test, the Written Registry Exam. it's two hours long and one hundred questions. it's the first half of a 2 part test. if i can get my RRT, registered respiratory therapist license, i can apply at Kaiser hospital. i'd really like to work there.
i am so nervous about interviewing. i haven't received my CRT, certified resp. therapist, license in the mail yet. when i do, i can start handing out resumes. the thought of going job hunting petrifies me. i'd rather take another state exam...
why? because i don't like feeling rejected. i have a tendency to "rub people the wrong way". people usually either get me or they don't. i had a falling out with a friend earlier this year. we were on a rotation together, just the two of us. she was all excited because we'd be car pooling and eating lunch together and blah blah blah. well. by the end of the month long rotation, we weren't speaking to each other at all.
one morning she accused me of hogging up all her experience. and then the dam broke. i was also told that since i am "super-smart" i should let other people who "need help" have more opportunities to learn. good freaking grief. there was soo much work to do in this hospital. we were the only two students. all that because the guy she was assigned to for the day pulled me aside during a code and had me draw blood on a patient. once.
anyway. i tend to be pretty open when i express myself. and i worry that my quirkiness is gonna turn off interviewers. with my luck i'll have a sneezing fit in the middle of a sentence.
and i don't like getting dressed up. for some reason, i get diaphoretic when i put on fancy schmancy clothes. i can't walk in heels very well. do you think anyone'll notice if i wear sneakers painted black?
i need a dose of bugs bunny. he is always so together. even when he's on the brink of madness, he's still in his game. i love bugs.
screw it. maybe i'll go on a couple bogus interviews just go get the fucking-up out of the way.
eureka!! that's it!!
i'm going to get all my stuff together, dress up, get my hair did, and apply as a respiratory therapist at all the fast food restaurants in my area!
damn, i am a fountain of good ideas...

I know what you mean about the interview jitters. I'll be going through that myself soon and it's never really fun. But you're going to do great. I know it. Just think of all the stories you mentioned of instructors and such who've been impressed by you. The only worry is if there are a lot of applicants and they can only pick one, otherwise it would be in the bag.
Congrats on your licenses!
