The quiet mouse

As I have said in some previous posts I left my job at the end of August. I have applied to over 65 places. I have only had 4 interviews.

I think it’s mostly that I don’t have the computer skills or more of a college education behind me.

One of the classes I took in college was hospital phlebotomy and I really enjoyed that. I wish I would have taken it further. There were 14 of us in the class and only 2 got jobs.

I had a chance at applying for a traveling phlebotomist but my parents were not happy that I was going to be putting that many miles on my car. It was an older lumina.

I guess I got persuaded and dragged down and I just gave up.

I wonder how much of what they told me was true.

I almost drove back out to Indiana to visit friends. One of my friends was a really good mechanic and he said that my car would be able to handle the drive. I guess I should have listened to him more.

My dad didn’t normally do things out of his comfort bubble.

But my friend did things out of his comfort bubble all the time.

I’m learning how to step out of my comfort zone and do things that I want. It’s kinda freeing.

I just wonder how much of what we did as a family was just staying in our comfort zone.

Anyways. I’m really thinking about taking some classes again. At least getting a degree after all these years. Alot of the work from home jobs are ones with a degree. I honestly could take one class at a time and just take forever to get it done.

I guess I need to add college to my bucket list.
