pin pricks and pin heads

mom says i don't put enough of myself in my posts. that they are more like news reports and less like a journal. so as a special treat for mom, i will recount my day at the immunization class.
i drove down early this morning to learn how to be an immunizer. the class was half pharmacists and half new grads, waiting to take their exams. i couldn't believe how annoying the new grads were and that they were soon going to be my fellow pharmacists. i fully expected these things to come out of their mouths:
'when i become licensed i'm going to be the smartest, most specialized, helpful pharmacist ever!'
'i have the same awful haircut as two other girls in the room, but luckily i know how to use bobby pins to make it even more awful with a bump in the front'
'because i'm thin, i like to wear shirts that are so tight, they show off my bra straps'
yes, they were pretty horrible, and one of them (the first example) kept asking these stupid questions to try to show off what she knew, which didn't work because it just made it obvious that she didn't read the class packet beforehand. the class was informative, and the actual vaccinating was easier than i would have thought. i have to go to cpr (yuck) class tomorrow, but at least it gets me out of going to work.

Sounds like you had a blast! One of the pharmacists here kept double sticking the other pharmacist. When she finally got the needle in her arm, she kinda wiggled it around a little and made her bleed. Then she thought the needle got stuck in her arm because she didn't realize they were retractable. I hope that didn't happen to you!
