A Bad Case of the Mondays
I left my house at 7:30AM this morning. I knew had a long day at work scheduled, but I had no idea today would be so long. My day at the veterinary hospital was a fairly typical Monday. The hospital was busy, and I was scheduled 8AM to 7PM. Now, we closer at 7, so I tend to actually be there a little later just to finish medical notes and closing. Every patient that I saw today was either a sick pet that needed extensive treatment planning, or was a new pet owner that had a lot of questions. I enjoy answering peoples questions and want to make sure that the patients that I see have their needs taken care of. Having said that, every patient that I saw today I spent at least an hour with if not more. I ended up at work until 7:45PM. The co-worker that I car pool with laughed because I was so busy today we literally didn’t see each other all day long. She is pet siting currently, so we needed to stop by the house to give medicine before she brought me home. We walked in to find water all over the floor. We spent the next hour cleaning up water and shutting of water to the pipes that were leaking all over the house waiting for someone to come look at the damage and call a plumber. We both missed dinner so we made a quick fast food stop on the way home. Finally, 14.75 hours later, I arrived home and was able to sit down and relax while doing my own dog sitting.
It’s going to be a long week.
