May. 6th, 2025 09:52 pmLast night was my last dog walk shift. I have been walking dogs for 25 years. It's weird, but I'm okay with it. It's time. While I am strong enough to take out the big dogs, I am not fast anymore to get out of the way from getting bit. I have been tagged a couple times, but never hurt. I just dont ant to any more. I probably won't be missed. When things settle I may head up and work with a kids program at the shelter... hopefully they won't bite;-) I may not agree with how the city handled the building and the poor design choices. but I do believe that we have to do something for the animals.
On Friday I brought in a couple of unpainted ceramic gnomes for my coworker to give to her children along with some craft paint. She had asked me if I knew anything about fairy garden pieces and I told her how I have gnomes in my tree stump garden. Well the kids loved them and sent me a video thanking me. They even bought the gnomes to school for show and tell (or what ever they call it now). That made me very happy.
The boss and I got into a couple of things... she wants me to get the concepts. I told her that filling in fields on a spread sheet doesn't give me concepts. Concepts have to be taught. I have been looking for classes on line but nothing fits with credit union reporting. They are all regular bookkeeping...like if I owned a store..and I GET that. She told me that she likes my work ethic, my attitude..even if it is rather up front. Great, but she isn't teaching me and can't find me a class. It is frustrating.
Today they also had 3 interview scheduled to find a replacement for the guy they let go last month. The first one was a no show. The second was late. The third was 15 minutes early. My money is on the third. She was nice and seemed she could be nice to customers and would not show boat like the guy they let go. He customer service skills sounded decent and she had experience at service counters so she could handle face to face interactions. If the boss asks my opinion I will say what I think.
