Can you be too healthy?

I have always been a healthy person. I don't mean that I have always eaten everything I should or I have always taken vitamins, I mean I don't really get sick and I heal quickly. Even if the entire family is sick, I am the one running around taking care of everyone and I never end up with the sickness myself. Wouldn't you think this would be a good thing? I always thought it was until today. Me and Marcus have been selling our plasma as our primary source of income for a a couple of weeks now. You can make pretty good money doing this if you have the right vaccinations!! I got up this morning at 7am to get ready because my days to go are wednesday and saturday. I thought " I am going to get there right at 8am when they open so I don't have to wait for an hour for my turn to go back"!! Well, I get there, they call me back, only it was to an office, not the donation room. Huh?! She sits me down and explains in terms I don't understand that I am "TOO HEALTHY" to donate my plasma!! What does that even mean!? My antibodies are so strong that if they used them in anyone elses body they would kill anything weaker, including the other persons healthy stuff!! That pretty much puts me in a superhero category!! I was so upset that I couldn't talk or I would have started to cry!! I hate when I get like that. So, I now have to find a normal job where I have to actually do something besides lay there and pump my arm while watching a movie if we want to pay our bills!! I know, I know, you are probably thinking boohoo right? Marcus is going to be going to school fulltime again starting in the fall so we thought this was a good way for both of us to make good money while not having an actual schedule and being able to take care of our 4 kids. Luckily Marcus can still do the plasma thing. I just need to get off my booty and find a job that won't be satisfying because I am not trained to do anything special. CRUDDY!!!! Life goes on......I am done complaining now. Let me know if anyone is hiring in the evenings in Pocatello!

When you are typing, do you type faster the more mad you are? LOL!! I just noticed that is what I was doing!

This is so crappy for you! First of all, I think you're incredibly brave for wanting to donate in the first place--I have a hard time when it comes to that stuff!

I'll check around and see if anyone knows of something available in Pocatello. Cleaning buildings at night pays pretty good!

Anything after 5pm would be great!! I stooped so low as to apply at walmart today :( You would think I would take some sort of training to get a better job, apparently I am not smart enough yet!! haha! Disclaimer: I am not saying I have a problem with the people that enjoy walmart, I only have a problem with walmart itself!

Melissa, You need to look at the good in this, "Too healthy". They won't take my blood either, because "I'm not healthy enough".
My blood would probably for sure kill someone. HA
