Today I am feeling a little under the weather. After just 6 hours and 50 minutes of sleep I had to head into work for a 8.30 - 6.15 shift. The lack of sleep was definitely my fault, I end up sitting on my iPad for far too long when about to head to bed. I get distracted by the most minor of things and can end up spending an hour reassuring into stuff that I really don't care about. I also blame the alcohol consumption for last nights poor quality of sleep. I spend my nights in a single bed with Luna. It's not the comfiest sleeping with a 27kg dog, but she does keep me warm and comforted, I just wish she would give up the habit of nudging me to help her under the duvet. She is very sweet looking when sleeping.
Today at work we had a new lady that I had to train. First off we started cleaning out the animals, I explained how to clean out the small animals and then cracked on with the bird enclosures. It took her a while to get everything done, but it's to be expected on her first day. She hasn't ever worked or studied animals, so there's a bit or work to be done. I didn't really get a chance to talk to her properly because most of the day was spent with her reading through outdated paperwork. I must admit that I was rather jealous because I would have loved the chance to sit out the back away from customers. The majority of customers are pleasant, it's probably only around once a week that I have to deal with someone lacking a few brain signals. I'd take animal customers than clothing customers any day!
I sold a couple of Guinea Pigs today, the lady had recently lost her one so she thought she'd surprise her daughter once she came home from school. It was a fairly easy sale as she was already clued up about the Guineas of course. My favourite animals to sell are either hamsters or fish. I like selling hamsters because after owning many of my own I am very clued up about them and can answer almost any questions I am asked about them. I also like selling fish because they are easy, the only things to check with the customer is whether they have a heater, filter, clear water, use the correct treatment and if they are going straight home. I've recently acquired some tropical fish, but I'll mention that on another day.
Nothing much happened at work really, just deliveries, deliveries and more deliveries. Having something to do did make the working day pass quickly though, so I appreciate that. Tuesdays are when both of my nans come round for dinner, we all had a chicken curry, mine however was Quorn chicken pieces, it is without a doubt my favourite dinner. It was nice to see my nan after the break in yesterday, she seems a lot less anxious today and more settled. She will be staying around my aunty Fiona's again tonight as the police need to come round to do some forensics, see if they can find anything worthwhile. I really do hope they find the bastards, but again I am doubtful.
