It's been fucking crazy. I started my job two weeks ago and its going well. It's non-stop work and you get wet, dirty and smelly. I NEVER get my two 15 minute breaks, and I go some days without having my 45 minute lunch either (like I did yesterday and today). I don't like that, however at least I keep busy and only work 8 hours a day. It's not all that bad... I don't get overly tired or anything, but I should be getting my breaks. It's kinda rediculous there when it comes to the grooming department. They don't schedule it out right so that we can have our breaks and lunches. It's more of a 'if you have time, then take it'. Between taking care of my dog appointments, answering phones, making appointments, taking nail trim walk-in's and checking in and out dogs, I have no time to rest. I've gotten so many cuts and bruises in the past week it's rediculous. First I had sore muscles from the job change. My lower back is the worse. Then I got cut with nail clippers, pinched my hand between a St. Bernards head and a grooming table, slipped and fell on my knee while chasing after a dog and have a horrible bruise that if touched sends a shooting pain through it and its almost unbearable. I also got elbowed in the face by a dog and the nail torn up from under the skin on my right ring finger, which hurts like a bitch. PLUS I smell horrible. I don't get paid nearly enough for this, however I do get paid more than most bathers start off at. On the plus side, I get tips.... sometimes. It should all pay off as soon as I get out of the grooming academy. Then I get 50% commision on every dog I do. During sometime next year or so I'm going to take a few classes and get a Certification in Business and open my own Grooming Parlour so I can hire other groomers to do my work and I can take care of the business end of the job as well as take appointments only at certain times to groom.. ha. Then I can relax while making money.
No other real news except for I talked to my father and things are sort of okay. Not really, but we are talking a bit and he's going to call me next week. We all have a lot of shit to work on. He has already moved to Florida. He'll be back up on the 4th of November. Hopefully him, Travis and I can all go to lunch or something. That would be great. I'm going to make sure I save up the money for that because I know he won't have any. I just hope he has the time to spare to hang with us, and to properly say goodbye... since he never said anything or came to visit or even tell me he was moving, before he left.
Anyways, I'm going to go shower and then head to the grocery store to get some groceries. Then I'm going to come home and clean and eat. I'm starving. Haven't ate anything since last night... Happens when you have a sleeping problem and can't get up until right before you have to leave and then not get a lunch at your job...
I'm starting to get used to it... hey maybe I'll lose weight...
