An Army of 1....100 million per mL
Okay, so there are more random things that keep happening to me.
The big event for today was the health job fair in the Bone. I got all dresed up and walked around, handing out my resume to various hospitals throughout the state. I even made business cards - I feel so professional! The job market for med techs looks pretty good - and I talked to a lot of people and actually ran out of resumes to pass out - so here's to hoping that there is a job opening somewhere!
Because of my ROTC days, I was drawn to the Army medical booth. So I talked with the recruiter. Bascially, its the same thing I would have had in ROTC, I'd enlist as a 2nd Lt., but instead of basic training, I'd get officer training geared towards a medical professional. They have some great benefits and really take care of their people, but there's that whole "minimum of a 4 year commitment" thing.....and I'm such a commitment-phobe!
Anyway....most of these tables had goodies. Sometimes I went to a booth just because they had neat stuff (mini FM radio, back massagers, sunglasses holders, bumper stickers, magnents, lunch bags, coin purses, chip clips, business card holders, pens, ect.). Well, at the Army booth, among other stuff, I found something in a clear package that at first glance, I wasn't sure what it was. Being a scientist, and naturally curious, I looked closer and found that it was a rather large-looking condom.
The United States Army is handing out condoms....at job fairs.
Does this bother anyone else? It shocked me -- it was so out of place! What is this world coming to!? What message are they trying to convey -- be safe, join the army? An army of 1, an army of sperm; here, check out both? I just don't know anymore! Maybe I should just go Air Force, ha ha.
So that was my random event of the day.
And now to do some homework that I really don't want to do. So if the kitchen is clean again, you know I got really bored and never got to the homework.
On a side note, about the Army, they had this REALLY NEAT quick reference card thingy you can put on keychain that has all the laboratory values for blood and stuff like alcohol levels and other medically fun knowledge. I know, only I would think that's neat.
