 Where did October go? 

Today was so pretty out. My windows were open and this evening I enjoyed hearing the bugs, frogs, and even an owl.

My Sarah took a job about an hour away from her house. It is 11 minutes from my house. She works 2 12 hour shifts back to back. So she is going to be spending Wednesday nights here.

I was so excited all day for her to get done with work. When she arrived we chatted. I do miss being in the clinic and working with the clients and their pets. My body just says “no thank you.”

I have to find joy in other ways in the industry. Tonight, I had a girl that wants to start off in the field but she has minimal experience. I was able to find a clinic that is willing to give her a chance. She sounded young and nervous but very eager.

I her interview is tomorrow. I asked her if she would like to have a mock interview to prepare for her day tomorrow and she said “yes”. 

I spent about 40 minutes on the phone with her and I am hoping that tomorrow she hits it out of the park. I will follow up with her. My fingers and toes are crossed for her. I am hoping that she will get an offer letter.

After talking to her, I realized that I really enjoyed that. It is not in my job description, but I hope that it made a small difference for her. We all started out in that spot no matter what industry. We all just needed a chance.

Paul has really enjoyed the festive signs on the expressway this week. He has been sharing them with us.

“Hocus Pocus, drive with focus”

“Pay attention -my Mummy works here” - this was near a section of road work”

“Drive sober -no Boos allowed”

“Ghost your phone - slow down”

So silly. I can’t wait to see what tomorrow’s sign says. Very clever.
