Conversation with my new coworker tonight. (Side note, usually in the evenings there are just two of us working and it's not very busy so there's a lot of down time. Previous coworker and I had lots of long chats about life, happiness, friends, & guys.)
Me: Where do you go to school?
Her: ____ Community College
Me: So what are you going to school for?
Her: Nursing. But like, I don't want to be a nurse. I .don't want to do anything really. A stay a thome mom, maybe. You know how women in the 50's just stayed home? I want to do, like, that. That'd be perfect.
Me: Umm, oh?
Her: Yeah, like nursing school is like so hard. I mean to get into. They want me to have good grades, like a 4.0 or something. I can't get that! Maybe if I only did school. But I have like, a life. And I work. Community college is like, actually hard. If they need so many nurses, why do they make it so hard?
Me: Uhhh?
Her: Anyway, I did some nursing work for awhile. It was fine. You know, bodily fluids don't bother me.
Me: I get grossed out.
Her: I thought about being a cosmetologist because I like, love hair & makeup. But that sounds like no money. Also I thought about being a massage therapist, but I cannot like, rub people.
Me: So bodily fluids are ok but rubbing is not?
Her: It's just like impossible! Anyway, I don't know why they even look at grades. What you want is a nurse that's just like, nice, ya know? I'm super nice. I would be great in an interview. I hope they just like interview me. And look at things I do in school besides actual school.
Me: I'm going to go check the laundry.
Ladies and gentleman, that's the future.
