so about a month or so ago i had a dog come in, that apparently got burnt in the eye with some shampoo. never seen or heard of that happening before. anyway... i get over it... and try to remember with every dog i bath not to get any shampoo in the eye, which is actually pretty difficult and time consuming when you are in a rush and gotta get the dogs face and gunk under its eyes really clean.
anyway on tuesday i help a lady take her dogs out to the car... 5 mins later i get a phone call saying whateverherdogsnameis has one of her eyes closed. i think, oh crap... i go out to the car with some eye cleaner and flush it out, just incase its just some hair in there... give her the bottle and tell her to give me a call in the morning if it is still bad. I didnt notice anything when i clipped it, but i do put them in their cages and move on to the next thing and dont usually sit there looking at the dogs. anyway, she calls yesterday and says she is taking her dog to the vet. i asked her to use the vet work uses and she said she would... anyway, i dont hear anything back all day, call just before finishing work, no answer, leave message... anyway i am hoping like hell that it is all good, because if its the shampoo thing again i give up... in 6 years of grooming i have never had this happen before and now its twice in like a month. fuck that... i know i dont have to pay the vet bills (if i did i wouldnt groom cos there is a risk with every dog of injuring it, not purposely but when working with mega sharp scissors and blades, a dog can move the wrong way and its cut) I still feel shitty about it all... and especially this time cos i have actually been making an effort. to top yesterday off with all the worry of this shit, I had shitty dog after shitty dog. maybe they could just sense i was upset or pissed off and played up... or maybe they were just fucked. either way i was glad when i got home and chilled out with a bit of a smoke, and ate too much pizza.
thennnnnnnn, today i get to work just fucking over it, and thinking about whether the lady will ring the other work today about what happened... my first appointment is waiting outside the door at like 15 to 9... i hate that, cos i have to walk past them to get in the main doors, and then they think they can follow me in, but we dont open for 15 mins, and i like to just potter around and get ready for the day... so i sit in my car for 10 mins cos i dont wanna deal with trying to explain shit... so anyway, we all get inside and i get pissed off at myself for booking 3 dogs in first thing. then i go out the back to my room... put the dogs in the pen, then do my usual thing, put my apron on, get my scissors and brush out of my bag cos i have been working at the other store the last two days, then put the first dog on the table... secure it, go to grab my clippers....
hmmmm.... where are my clippers???? i look in the top drawer of my stand thing.... hmmmmm........ where are all my blades????????????????????????????????? hmmmmmmmm.....
i go out the front to check if anyone had used them or moved them or something cos sometimes they borrow my nail clippers.... i check with jess, she says no... in my head i am screaming but i just start laughing. it was either laugh or cry. i went back and checked again... thought back.... ok i left my keys in the door saturday cos i knew i would be back in monday but when i was in on monday they were there, cos i had to pack the stuff i needed for cannon hill, and i locked the door cos i took my keys, and i had to unlock the door to get in this morning argh argh argh nooooooooooooooo.
fuck
so i dont know how they got in, but it had to of been tuesday or wednesday cos i am 80% positive the stuff was there on monday.
whoever took the stuff knew what they were looking for. they took all my finishing blades and even my toe blade and 40 blade with was in another drawer in a box... but they left the skip tooth blades that were in the same box as the 40 blade. luckily they left my very expensive scissors in there (which is weird, but maybe they didn't recognise the brand).
so all up they took $280 set of clippers and about 10 blades with i guess are on average about $60 each.
super!
so now i am waiting for something shitty to happen tomorrow... i will cry if its something to do with my car... but it will serve me right, cos i have had a month to get the stuff thats wrong with it repaired and i havent.
FUCK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
GRRRRRRRRRRRRR
