SLLLLLOOOOOOWW

That's how I would describe my work at the new clinic. Slow. Especially now that I've gotten about 95% of the computer stuff finished, I don't have a lot to do anymore. Although, I'm getting to be a pretty dang good receptionist. I can answer phones like a motha-trucka now. Oh yeah, I'm da man.

I did manage to get bitten by a dog today. Luckily, it was "just a flesh wound." It didn't really bleed much, and methinks it's gonna be O.K. It's hard working with kids that don't know what they are doing. I was trying to draw blood on a dog, and since the girl that was holding the dog is brand-spankin' new, I got tattooed with some pearly whites on me hand. What hacks me off is that it was my fault for not putting a muzzle on the pooch in the first place.

This morning was a bit crazy but other than that, I've been twiddling my thumbs and answering the phones. And surfing the net. And telling people that they have dialed the wrong number.

Earlier I had the following phone conversation:

Me: Hello, this is the Blah Blah Vet. Clinic.

Lady: Yeah, I was wondering if you could tell me the background of your veterinarians that work there.

Me (not really knowing what in the heck she was "really" asking me"): Well, one of us went to Auburn, and the other went to Texas A&M.

Lady: Oh. Um...I've been going to ABC Vet Clinic down the road, and their prices are way too high. What do you think about that.

Me (Uber-confused now): Well, I don't know what that clinc's prices are, so I really can't comment on that.

Lady: Oh...OK...Thanks. Click

I'm still really confused on what the lady wanted from me. I don't really know what she wanted to hear, or what information she wanted to get from me. Maybe she was a "mole" from another clinic, trying to get the scoop about us.

Who knows.

Time is really draggin' on today. I'm stuck trying to train all of the new employees, which isn't a lot of fun. Basically all of our staff is 100% Grade A Rookie. Fresh off the farm. It's kinda tough since I'm starting to see some pretty crazy things, that need a bit more help from the staff.

Plus, I have to keep answering the dang phone every time it rings.

Yep, I'm a regular Renaissance Man.

Bean is in New York this week. Well at least until Thursday. She even got to fly 1st class today. She's gonna start getting snobbish pretty soon. Here's why.

This weekend, Bean, her sister, and I went to the store to help Bean pick out a pair of eyeglasses. Long story short, she ended up buying a pair of Burberry's. Then the saleswoman suggested that she try on a pair of Chanel sunglasses. They were priced at $375, but since she had already bought a pair of eyeglasses that day, she qualified for a serious discount. So she bought them. The total cost for the 2 glasses was equal to what I paid for 1 pair of eyeglasses the other day. And mine are Columbia brand. It's a said day for the cat without a kickass insurance plan like Bean does.

Keep on keepin' on.
