Update: work pt. 3

I worked with our extended family at the Montgomery hospital last week.  It was a nice change of pace & atmosphere from my home hospital.  I'm looking forward to going back.  They're a great group of young charismatic individuals.  I am giving it my all to help spread positive energy within the workplace.  I can be charismatic too!  Working with the combination of animals and high quality medicine comes with its own stress and tension.  I'm not changing over night, but everyday I am giving it a little more effort to become a different person.  Since our hospital has changed to an associate hospital, our staff has been more than double.  I don't want to run away any of the new people with my "attitude".  Trust me, I know I'd be tempted to leave a job if I had to work with me some days!  Haha - and it's not that I'm mean or bossy, but I like things a certain way (yeah that doesn't sound bossy Antonio haha); every pet I see isn't just a dog or cat they're like my own.  I want them to be treated with respect.  My focus is make sure the pets are as comfortable as possible while under my care.  I think I am one of the easiest people to work with on our team, but when it comes to new people I am very cautious and slightly overbearing only because I want them to understand the importance of giving every pet respect and not stressing them out.  A stressed out animal is more difficult to treat and usually becomes known as one of those that none of us want to see.  I'm imperfect but I'm going to work on my personality flaws before I scare away the newbies lol :)
