mad_andyDamn but I'm getting tired. This is no real surprise though, because since last thursday I've worked every single day - and I'll be doing seven days a week for the forseeable future, or until I get to quit the vets and can start having days off again.
I don't care, though - I'm enjoying myself far too much! I'm learning, and I'm being creative, and I'm enjoying being around the people I'm going to be working with for a long time - with any luck.
Twice today I've been asked to draw something, and have been able to come up with the goods. That's a great feeling, especially when one of the designs (a vine, leaves, dragonflies etc) is really not the sort of thing I usually draw.
I love that it's assumed that I can draw something, then do, and it gets inked... great feeling.
Oh, and hanging around with a bored piercer leads to getting new holes in one. Nurse was staring at the side of my head this morning....
"You don't have much in your ears, do you?"
"Nope," I said, knowing what was coming.
"Are you going to have more?"
"Sure."
"Now?"
"Why not."
"I'll do your tragus!"
Five minutes and a crunch of cartilage later, one tragus piercing.
She was still bored later (it's been a very quiet week for piercing, sadly), so she talked me into getting my conch done. Which hurt less than the tragus, actually, which fact disappointed Jon greatly. He says I'm no fun because I don't fall for all the stupid tricks most apprentices do!
I tell him that's the price for having someone as useful as me on the team, and then he rolls his eyes and sends me to put the kettle on.
Incidentally, this diagram explains the different ear piercings quite nicely. I now have three lobe piercings in each ear, as well as the tragus and the conch in my right. (Nurse tried to suggest doing my left ear as well but I told her she'll have to wait!)
Back to the vets tomorrow. I'll admit, I don't want to go!
