RIP "pineapple" lovebird
So my life has been, as my mom puts it, interesting.
I have trained race horses for a living for the past several years but I just don't want to deal with the industry anymore. Clients don't pay their bills if they don't win races, and let's face it, only one horse wins a race. Plus they're athletes, they get hurt, sick, etc.
So anyways. I completed two years of college and have always wanted to go back. I just can't figure out how to afford it.
So I've been working on rehoming a few horses, collecting the current delinquent bill that's owed me, and figuring out how to start classes either for nursing or teaching degree. I found a job that would allow for this.
I already did the first test for it, second test is Tuesday. I'm so nervous!!! It's a 911 dispatch job so an EXTENSIVE 45+ page background is also due on that day. I have bills that have gone to collection over the last several years while trying to make my living through the race horses. I just hope that doesn't keep me from the job which I hope would take me to more stability.
I still have a few horses to rehome (I'll keep the ones I've bred and raised and train them
As a HOBBY on my fathers and I terms instead of for clients that don't always pay).
I just hope I do well on this test and pass the background check. I spoke to a state police officer and he said many dispatchers take college courses because you have ample time as long as you handle the calls when they come in. Which is PERFECT.
So nervous. They said it takes about two weeks to get the results of the test and the background check.
Meanwhile, my father is having open heart surgery on dec 7. He has been my biggest supporter (besides my mom), and has always been a rock.
So it's a little scary. I am flying home to Boston for the surgery due to the generosity of a friend that booked it using some of his millions of miles. (So grateful for this).
Anyways... The test is Tuesday.
