Uncle, Uncle

Yesterday was a pretty rough day. Work was pretty bad.

Here are the lowlights from yesterday:

1) I didn't sleep very well/much at all.

2) I got to work and there were about 15-20 animals that I had to see from the last 2-3 days. Those animals should have been finished by Monday, but they couldn't get to them, so I was lucky enough to get to work on them.

3) We were booked solid, and even double booked. Then I found out that I am only going to have 1 technician from now on, when I normally have 2. Needless to say, only having 1 tech makes things much more difficult.

4) Since there was only 1 tech, I spent about 50% of my time doing "tech" work, which is VERY, VERY inefficient. I'm being paid to be a doctor. It just seems to me that they are paying me a lot more money that is needed to be a tech.

5) I had to put down a dog that I really liked, because he got pretty dang sick. *tears, sniff, sniff*

6) I had to give a homeless man really, really bad news: 1) his dog has heartworms, 2) his dog has a Rickettsial disease, which is not good, 3) his dog has kidney disease, and 4) he has no money to treat his dog, which has a high likelihood of not making it.

7) I found out that my "horse-like appendage", is more like a "donkey-like appendage." Shame. *tears, sniff, sniff*

8) This morning, I showed up 15 minutes late because traffic was a beeeeoooooooch. I realize that this happened today, but it's more of a continuation of yesterday.

So, all in all a pretty rough day. There was a bright spot though. I did manage to get in a 30 minute nap in my truck. I love naps.

Keep on keepin' on.
