Pay Roll

Nothing much has changed at the Clinic except for the fact that I am there way more often and am now getting paid!

A few weeks ago I heard they were looking for a new Kennel Assistant that would be able to come in Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday every week and then one Saturday a month. By the time I had found out about it, they had already filled the position but they told me I could fill out an application the next time I come in to shadow for the future. When I came in a few days later they informed me that the girl didn't work out and I was hired. I didn't even need to fill out an application or have an interview. It worked out very well!

My job is basically cleaning up at the end of the day which isn't glamorous but it pays well and is fairly easy. Plus, I still get to watch all the interesting things that happen there everyday. Saturdays are probably the coolest because there is only one vet tech working so my job becomes helping her with whatever she needs like holding the animal and things like that which is a lot more hands on than cleaning. I'm really excited to be working at a place that I love and even with all the extra hours there, I'm still excited about the idea of becoming a Veterinarian!

All Creatures Great and Small

 

This week we were given a new iQuest assignment... reading. I am not one to usually pick up a book and read during my spare time, especially for school. But, since our books our based off what we are interested in for iQuest it became more bearable.

The book I am reading in called All Creatures Great and Small by James Herriot. I picked it because, for one, it was one of the first books I found when I typed in Veterinary Medicine and also because it actually sounds very interesting. The book goes through all of the happy and sad moments Veterinarian James Herriot experienced during his first few years as a county vet. I am excited to read about things that I will, hopefully, experience myself one day.
