Me and Baby. I love this poodle.
I picked Susan up last night and noticed that her right upper eyelid, left lower eyelid and her snout were swollen. She was obviously having an allergic reaction to something. So, we took her to the St. Francis Animal Hospital. She ended up having to get a steroid shot, and a shot of Benedryl. It cost us nearly $100. GEEZ. But she is all fine now. We never figured out what the reaction was to, but the vet ruled out food allergies. Poor baby.
I had a sneaking suspicion that the reason I was fired was to re-hire the person I had replaced. This made sense because his mom was the office manager (for 18 years), and his wife was the scheduler (for 2 years), and he had worked there for 10. I kinda let the thought slip from my mind thinking it was too messed up to be the truth. But then it occurred to me, if they let me go then WHO would be doing all the work? So, I called and guess who answered? The person I had replaced. This only confirmed what I had suspected. I wasn't fired due to lack of patient flow or low hours, I was fired because the person I had replaced didn't like his new job and wanted to come back. So they fired me, and rehired him. Now I know who's hiring though. And I applied for that job that he left.
As you may know, I got a great job. Well, it lasted long enough to one paycheck. Dr. B let me go due to extreme lack of patient flow. Apparently eye health is a luxury during this economic crisis. So, here I am back in the job search mode. I hate it, and I really loved the job I had. Apparently the ONLY field that I am trained in isn't doing well at the moment, so I might have to venture elsewhere and find something different, so I applying for all sorts of jobs. This is not the way things were supposed to be. Bills are not in good standing right now, although I won't go into that. Just know that I owe money. I've decided to look at the glass as half full. I think this attitude will exude confidence when I'm looking for a new job. I've decided that maybe this job loss was a blessing in disguise. I wasn't making enough to sustain my life. SO maybe this happened so that I could obtain a job that could. We will see what happens. Thanks to everyone for all the support.
So, Monday we woke up and saw the sun. We packed up the jetski and headed to Silver Lake. By the time we got there it looked pretty gloomy, but we decided to set the jetski in the water and take a trip thinking it wasn't that bad. We hopped on, it took a minute to start (I would to), then we took off. With the combination of wind, cold water, clouds, and very little clothing we decided a 15 minute trip around the lake was enough. We packed the jetski up and decided to head back home. But not before Davorin got some horrible pictures of me on the jetski (wearing his clothes).
