I'll say, thanks!
As if I am not busy enough, LOL!
I got reamed out at my first job today, had to stay late to get reprimanded
for not being fast enough and for being too "open" with my mouth. Then, I went
to my second job. The I got home, and had to do all my Rescue/personal cat care
jobs. And my first job wants me to come in EARLY tomorrow, to make up for how
slow I was today. They do NOT understand I work there until 4:30 on a good day
(today I was there until 5:30, yes, I got an HOUR of being reamed out), then I
go to my second job, and was there tonight until 8:15, then I did my FIV+ cat's
cage and let him out for a while, scooped the rest of the litterboxes, and NOW I
am making dinner at 9:45pm. Even if I go straight to bed as soon as it is done
and I can woof it down, I'll still only get a few hours sleep. Normally I get up
at 7:00am to be at my first job at 8:00am, but they want me in at 6:00am
tomorrow. Ahh, yeah, right. I told them I'd be there when I got there. The boss
wasn't too impressed by me doing my nails while he was getting onto me though,
LOL, at least I got that much in for myself. He was like, "Jenn, please look at
me, what are you doing, I like to be looked at when I am speaking to someone."
LOLOL.... I'm like yeah, sorry about that, but this job eats the skin off my
hands and rips up my nails, and I wont have time to fix them tonight unless I do
them now, cause I have to go to my other job after I leave here, and I don't
like making eye contact because then I will start crying and have an anxiety
attack... at which point, I broke down, and had an anxiety attack, LOL!
Ahh, a day in the life, eh? MY biggest worry right now, is FAR away from
that place, this poor FIV+ cat is SO sad in this cage, all alone all day. I
REALLY wish I could at least find him a fosterhome for the meantime (in hopes of
someone wanting a nice housecat adopting him, as opposed to being added to the
feral colony like he will be if he stays here). I don't know how ANYONE runs a
shelter with all the cats in cages like this, it's SO heartbreaking every night,
to have to put him back in there, and tell him "I'm so sorry Zack" as he gives
me this pitiful sounding pleading scratchy meow. But, what can I do? I can't let
him out, he hates the other cats, plus he's not adjusted to the location yet,
and if I let him out with the ferals he might try to go "home" to his "family"
in Mass. I tell you what, I now know WHY most experienced rescuers have such a
shitty attitude about "owner surrenders", it's because WE have to WATCH as their
cat's hearts BREAK because of THEM. On one hand, I know they tried to find a
place that allowed pets, but on the other, they didn't CRY when they left Zack
here either, so how much did they really LOVE this cat? This cat LOVED THEM
though, and he cries about it every day when I have to stop petting him and make
dinner and go to bed and he has to go back in that cage for the next 23 and 1/2
hours!
Anyways, you can see why my sh*tty day at work pales in comparison to the
IMPORTANT things in my life. My boos, at one point, was talking about how good
he is at his job, and I began to cry, and he's like "What, why are you crying?"
and I was like "Because I'm REALLY good at doing the job that I love,
but what I love to do costs me money, and I have to work a REAL job to pay
for it." and anyways... yeah. I think he knows where my loyalties lay now, for
better or worse. I got to go, eat quickly and go to bed... no time for a shower
tonight. I'll catch up with email on Saturday, see you guys then!
