Keep non-horse people away from horses

Dec 02, 2010 23:34

The good - my job with the government is officially permanent. My first official day as a permanent employee was December 1st.

The bad - I invited my branch, Martino's branch and all our non-government friends to come out and celebrate at an Irish pub called O'Hanlon's tonight for a drink after work. Not counting Martino, 3 people came. Fucking ( Read more... )

It really didn't help when my friend came out to help me and she didn't have any trouble holding Champ. In fact, her poor thigh has a huge bruise from where she's been holding his leg for me for the past 3 days! Her solution? Use her glove as a buffer between his leg and hers. No big deal!

You never know what can happen! I started as a one-month scab and was in the management position within 3 months! It only took 2 years to finally get permanent... No one's ever accused the government of being fast and efficient!

Ahahahahahahahaha. That is hilarious! I've had non horse people come up to me and go "OMG have you ever got your foot stepped on by a horse??? I did once and I couldn't walk for a week! It hurt SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO bad!!" And I just laugh. I get stepped on all the time and I hardly notice anymore, I just push them off me and carry on, lol.

LOL, I know, what else do you do, right? The experience is relative, I guess. Maybe when the average person has a 1,000 lb animal step on them they think they're lucky to survive, while for us it's not even worth mentioning most of the time, unless it's a brief "fucker stepped on me today!"

And I love Martino too, but he likes to tell war stories. I beat him to the punch on this one though, because I'm sure he'd have been telling quite a different story to our friends! He'd go one about how he's pretty sure something was cracked, if not broken, etc. No bruise, no swelling, just one really badly injured ego!
