Thread: In Cal if forn i ay

Oh Whyemier I am so pleased to read your post, I did wonder if after 40 years in the same job the ole patience was wearing thin or if it was some people becoming more demanding, in some cases dam right rude or very often b****y thick..... When you entered our surgery there where mobile phones signs everywhere asking you to turn them off,most people did but some forgot & would apologise but the odd few would ask you to wait while they finished a buisness call in the waiting room,excuse me either you finish now or I get the next person in,not taken very well or we have had someone actually take a call in the middle of a consult & wondered why his animal disappeared out of the room when it was obvious he intended to sort out a social visit rather than listen to the vet,just unbelievable but I am lucky that my boss was happy for me to do it & wished that some of the other members of the staff were more strong minded although on a few occasions he has told a nurse to take a client out & bring the next one in so he is learning.....! Those out on reception though apparently used to luv it when we had a client that was "wet" as far as I was concerned when trying to weigh a dog in,sometimes you just couldn't believe that something so simple could become so hard,get the dog be firm weigh in over consult can begin but some would be spending all the time trying to entice the animal on,then out come the titbits then we would have a cuddle & be told what a good dog you are {no you are not we haven't got three legs on yet let alone four} in the end I would say sometime today would be fine & preferably before surgery closes that normally made them hand the dog over so on the scales it would go as good as gold,brilliant,thing was they said that out in the waiting room the staff & clients all got the giggles when Jackie done her bit & the vet used to be straightening his face out too but for goodness sake there is a job to be done & sometimes you just can't zip it can you....
Although now retired I am helping out on a few odd surgeries but as yet have been a very good girl so perhaps I have answered the first line myself......xxx
