joy to the world
Two wonderful things happened today:
1. I was accepted into the Summer Class of the Emergency Medical Technology Program (aka Paramedic School) at Austin Community College. There are only 15 spaces. I have to get a physical exam and start the Hepatitis B vaccination schedule (3 injections.) We have a mandatory orientation on April 24.
2. I nearly have a job. I finally got in touch with the HR guy at AMR, and went in and got interviewed and took the written exam. Now I have to pass the drug screening test and the physical 'agility' test, which is supposed to see if you can lift things like stretchers and people and haul them around. I have grave doubts about my ability in the endurance portion of the test. Very grave. However, we shall see. I have to get the drug screen and the agility test done before Tuesday of next week, when I'm scheduled to start. The HR guy said that only 3 people have failed the physical test, but I sincerely do not want to be number 4. Not much I can do in this short period of time, though.
