I'm not sure why I'm having such a hard time being happy today. Maybe because it's going to take yet another two weeks for the agency to actually get me my test certificate. It seems they charged my card, but then lost my application and didn't enter it into the system. *head desk* I feel so fucking drained about this whole phlebotomy thing. I

"I feel so fucking drained about this whole phlebotomy thing."

OK, I hope you don't mind that I chuckled a little over the "drained" and "phlebotomy" thing. *grin*

Overall, I have to say I understand where you are coming from. I have a job, it is a good job with a nice boss and good bene's + pay, etc. However, it is *not* my life’s passion. In fact, I don't know what is. If I did, and I knew how to get paid for it, I think I might try to work my way towards it. I say "might" because frankly, I have bills to pay and a husband to assist through school (thank GOD he knows what HE wants to do!) and gambling on getting a job as a history teacher or museum curator seems a little out of touch with my reality right now.

Besides, as much as I know I would love those jobs - I am not sure that "passion" would describe the experience of having them.

*shrug* So for now I go through the motions and keep my eyes open. You never know what you might find.

not sure what agency you are applying with. here are 2 sources that might work out for you. first - portametic. Yes, it's an agency. they make appointments for you and there is the option of setting your own area/zipcodes. their website is www.portamedic.com.
secondly there are blood centers in your area, i believe you have red cross. there is additional training required because the needles are a bit bigger. but you can count on a fixed set of hours.
hope that helps.
