Temporary work



             I have finally managed to get a temporary summer job whilst covering for two employees' holiday period. It is certainly not too much... but it is better than nothing. Anyway, I am so glad that it is not clinical work any more that I can hardly express it with words.

             Ordering the clinical and surgeon vets what to do and where to go first are part of my duties... and today I could'n help feeling an enormous relief that I no longer was one of them. It was one of those awfully stressful days with loads of surgeries, difficult births and long distances between the customers in the hamlets... I truly felt sorry for them, while at the same time I was happy that I wasn't in those self-same jams, as I used to be not so long ago. I heartedly hated them!!  For me all that stress and ungrateful farmers and bosses have never worth it. Hence, I quit! As simple as that.

            In fact, for all these months during which I have been unemployed I have never regretted having left my former work; not even once! This afternoon I was amazed that I had coped that situation for more than four years. Maybe the sheer stress didn't let me realize how on edge I was. Otherwise, I would probably have gone crazy. I can't think of any better explanation.

           It's a pity that my current contract is just for a month cover! :( I'll keep looking for something longer. Meanwhile I will have to take advantage of what I have.
