working at a petshop

today's my 2nd day at work.
to answer the questions that many people have been asking me over & over again:

i'm working at pet passion. it's a petshop that does mostly grooming. my bosses are alson & angeline. my working hours are 10am -7pm, tuedays to sundays. offdays on mondays. as for my pay, i don't really mind much about it cause i believe in doing something that you love & enjoy doing. that way, you'll really put effort into it & feel well rewarded for it. time really flies that way too. i don't even mind cleaning the dusty areas for my bosses. don't worry, i'm not doing cheap labour unlike that darn florist job.

so far, i just handle the washing, drying, brushing, cleaning of the dogs. when i have mastered the basics, i'll have to go for speed & efficiency. there are only 3 of us working in the shop so it's really busy busy busy. alson said i can't mention too much of what we do, so i gotta zip my mouth. i really love all the dogs that i have seen so far, except for one. all of them are really friendly & i love to see them wag their tails! :D

things that i got to remember:
1. show the pet who's boss, take control of them. don't let them sense my fear. that i've got to be tough at some times.
2. before i give dogs a bath, check the sink for fur, the bottles whether it's full & squeeze the anal glands. i must not let water in the ear. if not more smelly earwax trouble in the future.
3. i can't blowdry into the dog's ears.

i just really tired & hungry quickly this week & haven't had the time to read THAT BOOK yet for syc. & i'll try to stick to that ketogenic diet for the rest of the week, though it isn't going to be much help. working at the petshop makes me hungry & i'm hungry even at this point of time when my tummy's quite bloated already.

regarding the hanoi mission trip, i pray that i can go for it? the cantonese language barrier going to be much of a problem. if i really intend on going, someone please teach me! so far, i can only remember the cantonese vulgarities ))): & it was all because of a chinese lesson back in sec2 i think. so you see the help i need now.

i have drawn up a rough schedule for the weeks ahead:
monday: exercise & more exercise
tuesday: work
wednesday: work
thursday: work
friday: work & syc
saturday: work
sunday: work & 3 hours leave for church
please pray for me :D
