Bad Day, Good Day

[kriadydragon]

Definition of a bad day - Attempting to take the cover of a razor blade and slicing a big chunk out of your thumb and bleeding all over the place. In your haste to stop the bleeding, knocking the rest of the package of razor blades into the toilet. Being in a hurry to make it to an eye appointment in the rain and the fog. Spending a large chunk of money on said eye appointment and a pair of trial contact lenses, and one of the lenses ripping. Sliced thumb causing you pain and making it impossible to do anything.

Definition on a good day - finding out that I don't have to pay a ton of money to learn how to be a vet assistant, I can just be hired as one or do an internship thing and be trained on the job. This is a relief because as much as I wanted to get the training I didn't want to spend all that money on training only for me to still not get a job. Having a contact lens to compare the new lens to and decide if it's something I want. Tamales and chimichangas. Top Gear and cereal. The strays sheltering in our garage actually using the cat litter I set out for them. Getting my Sheppard H/C fic exchange story started and getting five pages in. Getting more done on the new original fic.

ETA: Developing the ability to write two stories at the same time, on the same day, even. I work a little on one story, take a break, then work a little on the other. I don't know if this would work if it was two original fic, but it works with two fanfic or with fanfic and an original fic, so who knows.

Hi, you don't know me, but I'm a big fan of your White Collar fics. Anyway, I just stopped by to say that I hope your thumb is better and that you get the chance to be a vet assistant (an internship would probably better than just being trained for the job). I'm on my fifth year of Veterinary Medicine right now, and it really is a wonderful and fulfilling line of work.
Hope your luck improves and tomorrow starts as a good day and stays that way...

Thank you so much:D

I was actually talking with my sister one day about the good old days when all you needed was an apprenticeship to learn a skill. I want to work in the Veterinary field because I love animals so I know it's something I would enjoy doing and be good at, but my ultimate career choice is to become a published writer. So spending money on something that I didn't plan on making a career really wasn't sitting right with me.

You really never know what the future might bring. If you get the opportunity to learn something new and don't have to spend a lot of money learning it, then that's a definite plus. You'll do something that you'll enjoy doing and make some money from doing it (and along the way you can work towards your ultimate goal as a writer!)
