pets
New job training has started. Holey Moley, am I in for it! I will now be the community outreach/programs coordinator for the Humane Society. Which means, I'll be giving tours of the shelter when groups come in, I'll go out to places in the community to speak (usually schools), and help the community service high school students come and do work. Also, I will be coordinating and running this years summer camp. This was my dream job last year, but now that it's here, I feel overwhelmed and underqualified.
So it's a great shift, and I'm happy that I have these responsibilities but I'm so damn nervous. I got to learn about so much, especially about animals, which is something I am not very familiar with. For instance, I tried to pick up a dwarf hamster from a cage today to show a little girl and I could not do it. That little critter kept speeding to every corner of its home. The 5 yr old girl Miranda saw me struggle with it, and pushed me aside so she could do it. It took her 2 seconds.
I just don't do animals. I like em a lot, and I will agree to the fact that they are cute and cuddly and great companions, but I lack that warmth that I see between owner and pet. That connection is something I've never experienced because I never owned a pet. My mom was too much of a clean freak to tolerate the animal stuff. Isn't that sad? I mean, I think I have an emptiness in my emotional cognition that needs to be filled with the love for animals.
I'll get it now I'm sure.
But I have to learn so much about pet care!! I mean I don't know what to do around dogs and how to train them properly and what vaccinations they get and the diseases and regonizing breeds and all that other stuff.
I will be working 28 hrs in addition to the nanny thing for 20. I will work a lot, but have benefits in 90 days and be able to save up lots of mula.
I think I am planning something really big, but I'm keeping it a secret for now.
