I finally got a job! I'm a veterinary assistant/technician in Davidsonville. I still feel awkward, confused, and shut off much of the time, but I'm learning - slowly. I'm amazed someone even hired me to do this. And I'm thankful. I really hope I get more comfortable with time. In my first three days, I observed/assisted with a few surgeries (hernia repair, spays, neuters, dentals, etc), ran heartworm tests, prepped vaccines, gave subcutaneous fluids, and a lot of other stuff I've never done before. And yet, the scariest part is just making client appointments. I hate people.
Due to my job, I won't be seeing Evil Dead: The Musical again next week. Meh, I'm over it. Going to NYC can sometimes be more tiring than going to work. I was just there, and I'll be there again next month. So losing this Tuesday's trip isn't a big deal. I just hope Greyhound lets me use the tickets for next month.
In other news, Bloody-Digusting set me up with an Allied contact in DC, so I can attend film screenings and write for them. I just hope I find the time and energy to do so. My new job is really taking it out of me. My Netflix movies are still sitting here all lonely. Who knows if I'll ever watch them. My cinemtography books are also going unread now. *sigh* Goodbye dreams :(
My goals now are to get good at my job, keep my dogs happy, and make enough $$ to eventually move out. Oh, and lose weight. Gotta do that. Travel and filmmaking are going on hold, for now.
