So, its 3am in va, and im wide awake. dh and i tried going to sleep around 12 or 1, he ended up sleeping. i, however am on cafemom, lol. and watching a lifetime movie.
today was rather exciting. other than it being friday and im off this weekend, i got a call from the other animal hospital in town for a full time receptionist job. 35+ hours a week, 10am-6pm mon-fri, and 8-12 every other saturday. perfect hours! she said she recieved 45 applications for the one position, she narrowed it down to 15 (including myself), and will call at the begining of the week for an interview! im so excited! we could sooooo use the money.
whats new with you?
Lol, I can so see the first story happening. I bet the guy's face was priceless.
The second story is probably something I would do. Dh says I am so clumsy that I need to be wrapped in bubble wrap, lol. I hope you were ok!
I remember having the clean the kennels when I worked at Kennelwood a long time ago. I didn't think that the dogs would use it as a restroom so I just crawled right in. My hand landed in pee as soon as my knee landed in another, older puddle of pee. Lesson learned! Thank god it was the end of the day, lol.
Quoting KeheleyLayna:hahaha. well i have 2. the first one was we had two dogs boarding with the same name, Baxter. and both of their last names started with the letter K. so this guy comes in to pick up his dog, they call back to us to get the dog and bring him out.. i go to give the guy the dog, and he says, that's not my dog.. I'm like wtf, yes it is. lol. i got them mixed up. one was a pug and the other was a lab. HUGE difference. lol. i was so embarrassed.
the other is, my boss had told me to clean off the vents in the dog rooms, which are on the ceiling. the way the rooms are set up there are 2 rows of kennels for the dogs, and a long drain in between the 2 rows. so i walk into the room looking up, and didn't realize there was a slight ledge stepping down into the drain. so my ankle turns out, i come down on one knee in the drain. i scream shit, fuck that hurt! lol. so loud the girl i was working with heard me down the hall over all the barking dogs. so im laying in the floor staring at the damn vent i was suppose to be cleaning. she runs in asks if im okay, then starts laughing lol. so embarrassing! i told my boss ill never clean the vents again.
Quoting .Diddles.:
That stuff is so sad. I would be crying with her! I'll never forget seeing my dogs right before they did it. Ugh, so sad.
Ok, changing the subject. What's the funniest story you've encountered at the animal hospital?
Quoting KeheleyLayna:
true. i have a herniated (sp?) disk, so i perfer sitting. when i first started working there, i thought i would be crying all the time, but i felt i always had to be professional.. but i was totally crying on the inside. especially when i witnessed my first euthanasia. ugh, it was this ladys cat, like 14 years old. i wanted to cry with her. ugh.
Quoting .Diddles.:
I'd rather sit with the option of standing than have a job where I was forced to stand for eight plus hours,lol. I injured my knee doing that. Plus the animals coming in would be fun to see. As long as its for good reasons. I'm a softy when it comes to injured animals. I would be crying all day, lol.
Quoting KeheleyLayna:
Photoshop is fun. =) thanks for the good luck wishes. I currently work at another animal hospital, and the receptionists there are pretty relaxed, i mean, you do a lot of sitting, which is annoying, but i'm expecting it to be crazy especially on friday afternoons before closing.
Quoting .Diddles.:
Playing around with siggie stuff in Photoshop. I'm tired, but it's Friday so I wanna stay up! It's 2am here though.
Good luck with the job! That sounds like an easy, but fun job!!
I'm awake because I can't sleep. I was in a horrible car accident yesterday, and not only does my entire body hurt, whenever I close my eyes ... I just see the accident. It's like my brain has it on repeat. :(
I'm so tired too. I fall asleep for like 5 mon and then jolt awake - which hurts like a SOB.
Sooo...now I'm laying in bed, on my phone, playing on CM.
