My brother and father both went to the same private Catholic high school, and my brother is talking about sending the nephews there. But I'm not so sure about this idea, especially after driving past the school today. They have a giant LED sign out front which today shouted a welcome back to students for the second semester. The problem? They ( Read more... )

Has ended. The only other student in the class no-showed, so we had to borrow a dog from the groomer to use for CJ, who promptly demonstrated how bizarrely food-driven she is. Other dog? No problem as long as I get food. She enjoyed the class more than I did, I think, so we probably will do the second level reactive dog class.

The same community college where I took my veterinary assistant courses has released its spring catalog. Very limited language classes, which figures as I was thinking of taking Spanish, but plenty of...ghost hunting. Demonology. And how to become a clown. OK then.

I am now a certified veterinary assistant. The actual certificate won't be mailed for a couple more weeks, but everything is completed, handed in, checked and approved and we were declared certified. (I know, I've been certified for years ( Read more... )

So far I have ( Read more... )

Well, hopefully I'm done. I had a lot of paperwork to be signed by my 'supervisor', except I never really had one and even with shadowing, I worked with 9-10 different people. There was a lot of buckpassing before I conceded and had one of the vets sign my timesheet, at least. I left the student evaluation for the coordinator, because nobody wanted ( Read more... )

I report for the clinical internship in 3 hours. Theoretically, at least, the guy who's supposedly running this has punted me 3 times already, but now I'm assigned to someone else. Someone presumably more engaged in the process. I'll find out, won't I? But at this point I'd be thrilled just to have a schedule in place and know what and when I can ( Read more... )

Sending the Monster on its way started fortuitously - I filled out the form online, and within an hour I received a call explaining the process, how to do the paperwork, etc and was told I'd get a call about arranging the towing, which I did an hour later. Now things start getting wonky. I thought the tow was coming today, and I needed to get home ( Read more... )

Class is finally finished. I didn't do too well on the final, there were a few things that never came up in class that were on the final, and the instructor is being really uptight on semantics ('sitting' is not acceptable; only 'sitting position'). And we had a Westie in class who wanted my attentions during the test; writing with one hand and ( Read more... )

So, this class is part of the Continuing Adult Education program at the local Community College. My emphasis. So they offered extra credit to my Monday night class - if we attend a lecture at 10am on a Wednesday morning. Most of us are in the Monday night class because we work during the day. Duh. The upshot, it seems to me, is that those who are ( Read more... )
