No, I wanted to help all the fluffy aminawls
when I was 15 I did my work experience at Langford Veterinary School. Which was nice.

You just want to play with the squirty blue juice ,)
If you want to get into it, there's other pathways open now, especially if you already have a biology degree.

It's a lovely idea
but I spent most of my 20's sitting exams to become an accountant. I physically dont have it in me to go through the revise/exam cycle again.

Do you really want to be an accountant for the next 40 years though?
Show a little fucking backbone. A friend of mine qualified as a vet when he was 38 because he spent so long mithering about exams. Passed first time.

I'm reasonably happy where I am

my sister's an accountant
She did the harder one so I didn't see her for a few months whilst she was revising. It was nice.

Harder one? I thought she was ACCA?
I'm ACCA

I got it wrong
she's the other one. ACA?
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Tue 6 Jul 2010, 12:40, Reply)

Yeah, ACA is a bit mad
a much tighter timeframe for passing the exams, and if you dont you're fired.

yeah that was what made her go a bit mental
the other trainee before her had failed his so he was fired. No pressure!

I hated my work experience
it's what first made me question whether or not I really wanted to do it. I just watched dog after cat after dog after cat getting neutered, it was so boring. There was an interesting one where a kitty had been hit by a car, but it's eye was all mangled, which made me nearly vom, so I realised I was probably not cut out for it. Plus there was a total bitch nurse there who made me do all her cleaning jobs for her while she sat in the staff room reading magazines.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Tue 6 Jul 2010, 12:35, Reply)

That's what work experience are for. When they're not there we have to do all the cleaning ourselves.

( fuck shit up the best you never had, Tue 6 Jul 2010, 12:36, Reply)

I know, it just embittered me
mostly because the woman was a total bitch.

I did get a whippet out of it though, she was abandoned at the beginning of my week there so I took her home with me at the end.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Tue 6 Jul 2010, 12:41, Reply)

That's not bad going, whippets are awesome :)
Our last work experience guy was fucking useless. He wanted to be a vet and thought that cleaning cages was beneath him. He'd mop one handed which pisses me off anyway and make endless cups of coffee for himself and no one else. A cat came in seizuring when he was there and he vomited all over himself because the cat shit itself.
( fuck shit up the best you never had, Tue 6 Jul 2010, 12:48, Reply)

haha that's a bit lame
I nearly vommed over the cat that had its eye hanging out of the socket, but other than that I was pretty brave.

I've since turned so squeamish I had to leave the cinema during hostel to reverse the direction of my slushee.

I thought I did a good job of the cleaning but the nurse bitch always made me do it twice when the other nurses were happy with my work. I think she was bitter because the vet didn't fancy her.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Tue 6 Jul 2010, 12:55, Reply)

She sounds like a cunt. Probably is.
I only get queasy when there's maggots present. Hate the bastards.

I can look at most things
It's smells that do for me
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Tue 6 Jul 2010, 13:03, Reply)

Ahh but I used to work for Lush, I have pretty much no sense of smell now. Comes in handy sometimes.

( fuck shit up the best you never had, Tue 6 Jul 2010, 13:07, Reply)

Really?
I can smell a Lush from blocks away.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Tue 6 Jul 2010, 13:10, Reply)

Yeah, it was boring in the small animal unit (or whatever it was)
but I managed to go out with the farm vet which was ace (apart from dropping her pen in ankle deep cow shit)
( Colonel Dracula Two manky hookers and a racist dwarf, Tue 6 Jul 2010, 12:39, Reply)

I did get to go on a farm for a bit
while the vet vaccinated all the coos. I liked helping the vet, I hated it when the nurse used to 'borrow' me, taking me away from watching the vet to clean up her shit.
