Good things...
On Monday, I went to Hermitage and filled out an application for a Shelter Assistant position. Jhon and Michelle were there, so Jhon showed me where the office was and got me an application. After I was finished with the application and gave it to one of the office people, Michelle gave me a tour of the facilities. It's basically a big maze of indoor rooms and outdoor cages, and lots of areas for the cats to roam around in. They are in specific sections, such as healthy and adoptable, adoptable with special needs, feral and not adoptable (but, in some cases, may become adoptable), too sick and unadoptable, including special areas for FIV and FELV cats. There are hundreds of cats roaming about and many of them are quite affectionate. One even leaped up onto my shoulders and Jhon said he'd never seen her do that before. I tend to have a real affinity for cats, so maybe they sense that I am a "safe" person to be around.
So, this morning, I was awakened by my cell phone ringing, and it was one of the office people calling to ask if I'd be interested in coming in for an interview, as they were very impressed with my application and resume. I went in at 1:00pm and interviewed with the executive director and executive assistant, and the first thing I was asked by the executive director was why, with all my vet tech experience, I hadn't applied for a vet tech position, and I said I applied for what Jhon told me was available. She asked me if I would be interested in working as a vet tech, as it was harder for them to find vet techs than it was to find shelter assistants. I said I'd be very interested. She asked why I left the vet job I had before and I told her I was having a hard time dealing with so many severely ill animals and especially euthanasias. She told me that when they have to have euthanasias done for Hermitage, they are done off site, so it won't be anything I will have to deal with. I am very grateful for that. She asked me if I would want to work full-time or part-time. I said I'd like to work full-time. She looked a little concerned, and I said, "but I'd be willing to work part-time, if that's all that's available." She said that over the next couple days she would look into their budget and check out who is leaving Hermitage (a lot of people are leaving for the summer or other jobs/places) to see how they can fit me in. They seem very enthusiastic about hiring me, so I expect to hear back probably early next week.
Tomorrow, I'm going to try very hard to get Tom Waits tickets as soon as they go on sale. Then Saturday, I'm trying to get Judas Priest/Heaven & Hell/Motörhead/Testament tickets. So, it isn't going to be an inexpensive weekend, but hopefully will lead to great concerts in the near future.
My mom and I are almost finished watching Rome, the HBO TV series. It's really violent, really sexy, really vulgar, really extremely well done. It's another series that almost makes me want to get HBO for the TV series, but I know I can just wait to get them on Netflix, so why spend the extra money to see them as they come out.
I'm trying to settle on something to read out of this stack of "great literature" I have checked out from the library.
