First Day of Work

August 26th 2002

Wow, first day of work today, and I really love it. I got to hold kittens and pet some of the animals. And there are two abandoned puppies there that need adopting, so I might adopt one. Apparently their former owner abused them pretty badly. One was so covered in ticks and fleas it was almost dead. But they are both in fine health now.

One thing I didn’t like about the job though was seeing all of the animals in ICU. There was this one cat that looked so pathetic, it was drooling and sagging, and dripping everywhere. It just looked miserable. I think they are going to put it down tonight though, poor thing. I almost cried it looked like it was in so much pain.

The job seems pretty straight forward. Just learning all of the forms, types of appointments, and vaccinations seems a little overwhelming.

There seems to be a bit of…..’drama’ in the office too. Two employees quit recently and 4 may get fired for either just not showing up or not doing their jobs, stuff like that. So I can see why they were desperate for me :) I want to stay out of the drama though.

Everyone seemed to like me and I really enjoyed it, so I think it will work out great.

    This sounds like a great job, and fairly meaningful, too, even if it is mainly office work. I’m so glad to see you happy.

    Yeah it’s great, and I do get to help out with the animals at least a little bit so I’m happy. At least I’m happy with work, can’t say much for anything else.

Sister Visiting - Being a Fashion Designer

My sister is visiting for the weekend. My best friends came over yesterday and we all went up to the organic markets in Frederick for shopping. I fell in love with the market immediately (even though they are pricey), and fully intend to molest the markets on a regular basis.
My sister told me […]
