Things have been rough lately. I nearly got fired from my job, and instead it seems as if I'll be transferred. Which is good I suppose, except that everyone else involved in the mistake is not getting in trouble. Therefore I've decided I needed a new job and some training would be nice too. After talking it over with my parents I signed up to take STNA classes. I'll have to take five weeks off of work, the classes take up a lot of time, but afterward I should be able to get a job basically doing what I'm doing now, but for more money. Also I would have more training, which the place I'm working for now is seriously lacking in. Most of my family is happy for me, except one of my Aunts who reacted by telling me 'So you're mom finally won, huh?'
It threw me. My mom has been trying to get me to get this qualification for awhile, and I had looked into it before and was unable to fit it into my schedule. Now I can. I'd rather not look at it as if someone convinced me to do something I don't want to do. I'd rather look at it as advice that I looked into then took. I don't know, it bothered me. I'm looking forward to September though, when I'll be taking the class. I've been working constantly since I was sixteen so having a month off will be nice.
