 Sorry About Yesterday
I am sorry for not posting anything yesterday but it was Fat Tuesday and I need to celebrate before Lent!
I realize that I have not even wrote about what I do for work yet so today will be all about that. My job is a dog/cat groomer at a large retail chain. I love my work. It is extremely hard and pretty frustrating most days, but I can pretty much guarantee a good workout. I love my customers and do like being around dogs but a large secret that most dog owners don't like to think about is that most dogs are not good for grooming. Yes even your precious baby doesn't like strangers washing, touching, or poking them for hours. I myself am in denial about the fact my three babies are good, but they aren't, even for me. A side effect with grooming a dog that is not happy to be getting a bath is large amounts of stress that many take to very aggressive levels. Any dog is capable of biting me at any moment and they definitely have their good days and bad days. I will NEVER abuse anyone's little babies but it's really hard to keep your cool when you have to make them look beautiful but all they want to do is take your finger off and you are being watched through a window by a whole crowd of customers. I have been grooming for 3 years and have fortunately only been bit seriously by 2 dogs and thankfully they were small dogs so they just took chucks of skin instead of whole fingers or hands. 
Lately I haven't been happy at work and it has nothing to do with my actual job, like I wrote above I love grooming, but with the actual company that I work for. The rules and regulations change so frequently and corporate people will come and either yell at us for not following certain regulations and then yell at us for following regulations. It is very confusing and extremely frustrating. I never know what tomorrow will be like and what needs to change the second I get there. I have been looking for a new job at vets offices and had an interview that went really well so hopefully I can be a little happier at work. 
My Food For Yesterday 2/5/2008
Breakfast - Bowl of Cinnamon Struesal Shredded Wheat 200 cal
Lunch - Rigatoni Lean Cuisine 320 cal
Dinner - Bowl of Lobster Bisque, BBQ Chicken Breast w/ Cheese no idea on the calories but it was Fat Tuesday and I am fasting today for Ash Wednesday so it evens out 
That's all for now and I plan on posting tonight after dinner.. Thanks to everyone that replied to my last posts!
