Yesterday was extremely busy at work. It seems like that hospital always has the sickest patients, the most fires to put out, and is just generally chaotic. I am always exhausted by the end of the day Friday... Emotionally and physically. The good thing is that all this drama makes time fly by. Being a relief vet at various hospitals requires one to be flexible and diplomatic... It is amazing how different each hospital can be... Every doctor practices veterinary medicine differently, and when you find yourself filling in at a hospital, you have to figure out ways to keep the consistency. It can be difficult to keep the peace sometimes.... Especially if you disagree with the other vet's methods... The goal is to provide the best care for the patient without causing conflict... I cannot step on any one's toes, or I may not be asked back to fill in... I am pretty good at this. I typically can keep the peace with clients and doctors, and at the same time do what I feel is best for the patient. Also, I am generally well liked by the staff... That is the other interesting part of working at different hospitals.... you have to figure out how to mesh well with the staff--- the staff's opinion of you is often the most important part when it comes to keeping a job. This is one instance when having a laid back personality is a great benefit...
Last night I took the kids to the "Groove-A-Thon" at the elementary school. Every year they have a dance for the students and parents... It is sooo cute to watch all of the kids dancing their little hearts out! They had a Congo line goin', did the Macarana (sp?), electric slide, etc... It was hilarious! Especially because some of the parents were out there dancing with the kids... Funny stuff! My kids had a wonderful time with their friends... Of course it wasn't my idea of a most excellent Friday night, but watching their little faces made it so worth it. It really was pretty fun! :)
Today will b spent delivering Girl Scout Cookies..... oh boy. I don't think this will be my favorite of tasks...oh well, it has to be done....
