I'm not really leaving...Not yet at least. But it will prolly be a while before I have something interesting and worthwhile to write about. And I'm sure no one wants to hear about how I get bitten or scratched everyday at work. Maybe, I will check back in a couple weeks... Or a couple days, to share random thoughts of mine. BTW, thinking about transferring my blog back to myspace. I liked how on myspace you could pick and choose which blogs u wanted private or who was allowed to read it...Yah, might do that! Toodaloo! :o)
Oh, yah and I might join Gold's gym, which I fear might be a cult or something sinister and foreboding. Cuz someone gave them my number one time and they called me like three times a day, and once I stopped answering the number, they started calling from a different phone number...Well maybe not Gold's but I wanna join some gym. Hmmm, maybe I will take up kung-fu again...I need something to do with my time when I'm not working. Something to exercise the demon! ;o)
I'm not a big cusser but the title fits. Seeing as tho, the last two weeks of my life have revolved around poo...Which is ok, because it's animal poo. Cuz CLEARLY I would not have a job where I am constantly surrounded by human poo! Ewww! So yes, ladies and gents. I have a job! A kennel/pet boutique/groomer/doggy daycare is where u will find me the majority of the week. And so far it's o.k. Although definately exhausting work that is not helpful to my bad back and weak knees but it's refreshing getting a paycheck weekly! ;o)
So a few specs on the job cuz believe it or not alot of people have been asking me what I do at work... I deal wit lots and lots of dogs and cats. I do kennel cleaning, bathe the animals, clip thier nails (which about 99% of them try to fight me about), clean thier ears, wash doggie bowls and dishes, walk dogs, clean up poop, mop poop (yes, I mop poop) and mop pee, sweep, vacuum, clean cat rooms. Give them food and water. On average, I have gotten bitten about twice everyday. Usually once while trimming nails,and once by an overly eager dog that is just playing but doesn't realize that humans dont like play biting as other dogs do...
Right now, my biggest challenge at work is keeping up wit the newpaper room type pace, and fighting the urge to not adopt another animal from my job. Cuz there are lots of cats in there that need a good home. And there are two that I really like... But I cannot turn into a cat lady! Even tho one of my co-workers said I will prolly succumb and adopt a cat at some point in time...Yargh! I must fight the power!
If you are wondering if I smell bad after work, then the answer is yes! I smelled myself the other day after leaving work and I must say all those furry friends and poop and pee catches up wit ya by the end of the day...However, that didn't stop me from going to get my "hot and ready" pizza from lil' cesars right after leaving work! ;o)
So as for my social life this summer....Pretty much non-existant for the time being. All my friends went back to thier far away hometowns for the summer and my bf is kinda far. And we both have wack work schedules. But it's ok cuz I'm gonna see him soon! My McSteamy! ;o)
Thank goodness, I have my stinky puppy Daisy to keep my company. Cuz I would surely go insane without her. (Even tho she is part of my sh*tty sh*tuation since she likes to throw her poo around when she is in her kennel). For the longest time, I used to be puzzled and wondered how there could be poo on my bathroom floor when she was locked in her kennel. Yeah, that girl has the arm of a pro football player...My lil poo-slinger.
Right now, I am sadly looking at my brown and white arms. Yeah, part is brown and part is white. The brown part is my normal looking skin. And the white parts are the many many itchy spots that I have acquired from being around all those animals everyday at work... (Btw, I'm allergic to animals...) Go figure, a future vet is allergic to her career... So yah. My arms are full with white scratch marks, which wouldn't be so white and noticable if I wasn't so ashy...And I wouldn't be so ashy if I didn't have to wash my hands and arms all day...And I wouldn't have to wash my arms and hands all day....Eh, u know the rest...
I'm rambling as usual. Must be time to go to bed... Or might just be another day in the life of Chocolatte! ;o)
I decided to do a lil something different this time. I saw this video a while ago during a Christian Veterinary Fellowship meeting. And I must say, this video MOVED ME. I guess because I felt that this video so completely illustrates my spiritual past, present, and future. Being a Christian who has constantly struggled throughout life by being torn between the forces of good and evil, it is refreshing to be reminded how wonderful and magnificent the outcome will be if you just trust in the Lord! ;o) I might add on to this blog a lil later...But now, I lay me down to sleep. And I pray the Lord my soul to keep! Good night! :o)
Personal journal that expresses thoughts that I have...
About Me
Name: Chocolatte Home: Auburn, AL, United States About Me: Unique is how many describe me. Inconsistancies rule my life. How I am depends on what day you catch me for the most part.However, one constant thing is that I attempt to keep God as the pilot in my flight of life. ;o) <
