March 21st

we went to bed 11:27.. but we were still awake after 12:30 😏

I had dreams of work.. both Avon and MAVH.  I had a dream I’d forgotten to order catalogs for campaign 8 but turned out they didn’t print any for the whole campaign- and then I woke up to an email in my inbox that their prices had increased on catalogs in campaign 8.. it was a foreshadowing that I didn’t even know about.  my other dream was of still being stuck at work at 9:30 and trying to escape.. there had been 2 white dogs for surgery but I thought there was only 1 and information on surgery hadn’t been updated so that delayed the process.. those 2 dogs ended up being our first appointments of the day.. blood pull and vaccines for him, plus vaccine for her. I was scratching his forehead to distract while they tried to pull blood and I made a mark on his skin— well, the owner was convinced he’d bumped his head and Dc had to show the owner that there is nowhere for him to bump. the dog is such a panicky dog that the owner was sure he’d regress from this. he didn’t believe that it was a simply petting type of scratching. I don’t know if he was ever reassured. 

then we had another helicopter parent with dog. there is no perfect way to hold the dog as the owner kicks down anything we try. can’t hold his throat. and can’t squeeze his butt. BUT the owner will just pick him up and almost throw him in your arms, as that is “okay” 🤨 we also pulled blood which wouldn’t have been her approved method of hold. she wanted us to do it in the room but that wasn’t allowed. I thought she might pitch a fit for that as well. last week she wanted dc to look as his peepee and hear his heart. I had suggested she schedule an exam as she was squeezed between appointments and we wouldn’t be able to do an exam today.. she said “or yeah we’ll just die. I didn’t expect her too.” you are not the only appt. we are so fully booked it’s ridiculous. 🤬

We are overstocked on Purina low-fat, so it overflowed onto the shelf for RC low-fat.. but we are also overstocked on RC low-fat.. I feel like the toilet paper hoards.. or gas (fuel) hoards.. we run out of room to store it, and coworkers reorder thinking it’s gone, when it’s actually also stored elsewhere.

a coworker brought in a boarding dog because she might have eaten/swallowed a foxtail. so they did surgery at 8pm.. which meant I had to wait to get all my remaining files for Wednesday appointments. hooray.

I worked on 3 afternoon appointments because ‘previously mentioned’ coworker takes 2 hour lunch breaks (the rest of us get 30 minutes.  and it is always noticed if we go past our 30 minutes…)

I was hoping to get out between 8:30 and 9:00, or by 9:30 at the latest.. nope. I grabbed all the trash (my daily chore) then once I got inside from putting the recycle can at the curb, the ‘previously mentioned coworker’ asks about the poop in a glove on the counter. I tossed that! so had to grab the trash bag out of the van — and go to the very bottom to find it, because it was the 2nd thing I’d tossed out of the whole entire hospital. 🤬

by then the doctor was done with one of the 2 files I needed.. so I worked on that file. then I tried to catch up on drug logs but the surgery from today was never entered into the computer.. so that will be for another day.. when I’m trying to catch up on out-of-order logs.. and find files to account for the miscalculations 🤦‍♀️
