Birthday
My birthday was yesterday and I worked. Everyone else takes their birthday off, but I did not want to hear the "you owe me" or the "geez, alright I'll cover if I have to". Being the Lead Vet. Asst. means I hear all the complaints about anything having to do with the Assistants. I chose to work my birthday so I wouldn't hear any complaints about my taking the day off. The positive side...the clinic bought a Baskin Robbins ice cream cake for me. I'm not a dessert or sweets eater, but everyone else enjoyed my cake. I was glad my birthday gave them a special treat.
What a headache with scheduling when co-workers say they can't work this day or they prefer not work that day. Such whiners and immaturity. Whatever happened to the days when employees were happy to accommodate their employer rather than expecting the employer to accommodate them? The behavior of people today is a look into the future and it shows a world of selfishness, little conscience, lack of ethics, distrust...a destructive world.
Too many people feel the world revolves around them and everyone else is just an obstacle hampering their self-importance. Selfishness. And I swear if someone ever causes me to have a traffic accident because they were on the cell phone or raced through the yellow light or tailgated me or cut me off...I will definately lose my normal easy going manner. I dream of a Norman Rockwell world.
Enough of the bad demeanor.
On a happy note, my kitten rescue had a kitten adopted today. George found his permanent home.
This is George. A real cutie of a kitty.
Yes, we name all our kittens rather than using numbers to identify them. We are in our fifth year of rescuing kittens and have had over 500 adoptions. Pretty darn good for a rescue that operates with only four foster homes. Only 10-15% of the adopters have changed the names of their new kitties.
Cat names: the common ones are Callie for Calicos, Tux or Oreo for the black/white, Garfield or Morris for the orange tabbies, Snowball for the whites, Stripes for grey or brown tabbies. With very imaginative people helping, we don't use such common names. We name by personality or some theme on how the kittens came to us; Havoc, Chaos, Screamer, Rebound. Sometimes we name a litter of kittens by picking an alphabet letter. We had a litter with kittens named by "B"...Bach, Bangle and Bacall. And the "O" litter of Onion, Oops, Omelet and Olivia. The "K" litter of Katrina, Keepurr, Knickers and Kaboodle.
So, anyone adopting any pet, be imaginative in the name you choose. Make your pet an individual rather than just another Spot, Morris, Stripes, Oreo, Callie.
Yeah, I'm talking about various things. It is procrastination. I have to prepare the Veterinary Asst. schedule for the next weeks and it is a monster task since we are loosing a Technician and an Assistant and the rest of us have to cover their hours. Procrastination for sure.
Happy belated Anniversary to Jayne and Jeff.
