BREASTS.

I HATE breasts!!

I know, that sounds disturbing, disgusting, and just really weird but its true. I am a registered Mammographer and I hate breasts. I got my registry just recently and I was very happy about it; I get more money, become a more valuable employee and expand my modalities. Sweet right?? Well I was generally happy about my position within the breast/mammography/titty world, only performing mammos on Fridays and just doing general x-ray and cross training into CT on the other days I worked. Life was good.

But as it would seem, I couldn't be happy and content forever. I now have to deal with breasts and old women four days a week and I have to be happy about it. I work Tuesday through Friday as the full time mammo tech and will be doing said job till about the middle of January. I cannot completely complain about my situation; I do get more hours taking on this position and that is really great considering the "economic crisis". I would however fully enjoy this opportunity at hand if I were in fact working in x-ray or CT but no... boobs.

And you maybe wondering, 'Jessica, why did you register in mammo in the first place??' and the answer is simple. Gotta start somewhere... Mammo was open and I took the opportunity at hand. Don't get me wrong; I am SO thankful for my job, so grateful that I am still working, so blessed in the fact that I am full time, and so appreciative for all my opportunities. I would do this everyday if it meant I didn't have to go back to one of those crappy jobs that I use to work at.

But none the less, I have to deal with old breasts that feel like pancake batter in a plastic sandwich bag....

yeah, hope you liked that one :)

But even more thankfully, this will all eventually end and I will go back to the exciting world of trauma and blood. But for now I thought I'd share with you my horror and disgust.
