After dropping off my resume yesterday at the vet when we took Oona in for her liver enzymes to be drawn (excellent!), I got called in today for an interview.
The job is mine! I didn't even have to compromise on my pay requirement. Well, it's like .30 lower than what I make now, but I rounded down because I thought there would be no way they would pay me that much. The fact that it's a 7 minute walk from my house totally makes up for that loss.
I get to play with kitties all day! Literally, not only is there an office cat, but there are cats who need to be adopted running around quite frequently. So I'm going to wait until next week to figure out the specifics of how to give notice at the hospital. I'm so glad to be moving to a small practice environment.
It was so funny, apparently both of the vets that worked on Oona were really excited about me and the owner really puts a lot of stock in how people's cats act as a reflection on them. And this was Oona, so of course everyone loves her because she is super sweet. If I hadn't mentioned it, this vet only services cats. It may be the only place in Houston that does so, and I know people come from all around to go there just from hanging out in the waiting room. I'm really happy and excited.
So, I leave you all with this. Cat love while the sheets were being washed:
