I know you should never use the Q word but oh my i started a new job as a veterinary care assistant about a month ago and I am SO BORED! Like every time I'm in and there's an operation scheduled it gets cancelled or I e d up having to cover reception. And then I'm just left to deep clean the same cupboard I deep cleaned last week. This can't be normal? I work across 2 sites so I was expecting to be busier than this.
I have worked as a kennel and cattery assistant in boarding kennels for nearly 20 years and in the next couple of weeks I will be leaving to become a veterinary receptionist!
Any words of wisdom? (apart from don't do it, haha!)
During my time in kennels I have been shouted at by customers for ruining their holidays when we've been fully booked or turned them away because of out of date vaccinations. Had endless conversations about pricing and opening hours. Dealt with animals and have sat with some as they have been put to sleep. I'm used to all the smells and grossness that comes with cleaning up after them.
I guess I am more worried/nervous about the computer side of things as I am more used to picking up poo or talking directly to customers.
