A Rant by a Special Snowflake.

Published

I am a college student going to school 5 states away from home. I have my CNA cert in my home state but the reciprocity app. has not been processed for Maryland yet. So, for now I'm looking for non CNA jobs.

Here's my issue... They all pay way better!!!!!! I know what CNA's do is "unskilled labor" but you'd think jobs requiring a certification would pay more than a cashier job at dunkin donuts would!

Geez Louise. Good thing there's nothing I love more than my cranky, confused old people.

Ok. I'm done being a special snowflake... for now.

Decaf instead of regular?

Well, actually the last one would be tragic and could turn fatal in the wrong hands.

Acute hypocaffeinemia! Not only is it a danger to the patient, it's a danger to anyone who gets on their wrong side! Life threatening condition!

Yes, I am one who suffers from hypocaffeinemia. No one wants to see me without my morning dose having been consumed. My coworkers can just look at me, they walk away, and when they come back they're thrusting a caffeinated beverage at me as a peace offering.

I once had a taxi driver rant about how recent changes in legislation and Uber's popularity meant he was making less than 30$ per hour.

I gave him such a stink eye! And of course, he was driving me to work, making the sting a bit worst....

I wish mine would! I put on a good facade when I'm hypocaffeinic (wow, I just made up a word!!)...maybe I should let the claws come out--then I may get some coffee.
