Tech: ...and there is no large nutritional value in this food source, meaning that it is an overall infeasible investment that I will not allow our credits to be wasted on. Further more...

Today sure was a helluva day
Today marks the ending of my training for this job, for this season. I really was quite certain it was still too soon for me to be taking calls, but for the most part, I'm pretty well ready to rumble. I guess it's fine that the place I went to interview hasn't called me back, and really, my only stumbling blocks are unique situations we never went over in training. I have no problem trying to funnel a call the direction my management wants me to go, and I have no problem being flexible with calls that aren't going to go that direction.
I did bumble one a little bit today, I got a call from someone requesting a specific thing by name and I just willingly assumed they knew what they wanted, even though it was a poor for and I knew it. I'm going to work really hard so that doesn't happen again.
We had pizza, and I worked some more on this produce bag. So far, it's one row of regular chain stitch, then one row of single stitch, one row of treble stitches into each stitch from above, a row of single stitch, and then a row of five chain to five stitches alienating with three stitches. Between the end of class and rushing out the door to the vet appointment, I started, frogged, restarted, and re-restarted a round of alternating treble and chain stitches, creating this open kind of grid, and I even started another round of single stitch.
Using plarn that was cut into rather thin strips (about a quarter to half an inch thick), three hundred base stitches is a length that could probably encompass a cabbage, for example, or several potatoes.
At the vet, the nice tech who helped us checked out our boy. He didn't like having his temp taken, but didn't seem to mind getting weighed. He was also keenly interested in all the shelves he could possible mount. We put him away and brought out our girl. I held her and she permitted the thermometer in her ear and was even well-behaved when I put her on the scale for the tech. I left her out, since the backpack is a softer container than the plastic carrier. She got tons of scritchies while we waited for the vet.
She didn't seem to like that the vet was dressed in blue scrubs, but permitted the inspection. When the vet grabbed the syringes though, she friggin hissed! No fucking way was the vet getting near her with that shit!!! I'll probably ponder over what the hell happened there for a few days. While the vet and the tech puzzled out how to vaccinate her, she fled, so we moved on to our boy.
He was eeeaaaaasssyyyy. He was the center of the attention of not one but three ladies, getting all the pets and yummy treats. Did he get jabbed? Twice? Who knows! Not really sure when he got put back in his carrier, because then the vet was trying to get me to hold our girl who was NOT HAVING IT. So she got the towel and that was a good time for me to stand down. I know what you get for trying to restrain the Keen Queen. They got her jabbed up real quick, she went and his under the bench till her tormentors left. I talked her out real sweet with some treats--they got like, six months worth of yummies, you guys. Spoiled!
So now they're good for the next three years, in case we ever need to board them or anything.
I find it hard to focus on main projects during kind of transition periods, like moving from training to taking calls, which is where it's nice to have something else to break out--like this diamond painting, which honestly, I would like to just finish....
When we got home, I went into the office to work on my poster. I got a good amount done, but I'm just utterly, deeply exhausted. I think I'll at least work on it for some of tomorrow.
