Pet-sitting and a Near Death Experience

I’m sorry I have been neglectful of my blog. I’ve been working everyday for 2 weeks and haven’t had any time for much else. 

Work has been sooooo slow. Plus management keeps hiring new girls, which boggles my mind. At least everyone gets along at work, and all my friends are there.

 I CAN’T WAIT TILL THE SUMMER IS OVER and business everywhere picks up. I guess I’m pretty sick of 110 degrees everyday too.

I narrowly missed being in a bad car accident a few days ago. I was driving home on the freeway and was about to take my normal exit. I was driving in the right lane after changing over from the left, and okay…I admit I was speeding a little. All of a sudden I noticed a truck at a complete stop with its hazards on in the middle of the left hand lane. The shoulder next to it was blocked off due to construction. As I was passing the truck, I thought to myself, “That’s a really dangerous looking situation”. And right as I got off my exit, I looked in my rearview and saw a Dodge Magnum come speeding up behind the stopped truck, slam on its brakes, and start spinning across the freeway, then it looked like another car T-boned him as the car completed a 360. If I had been a few seconds behind, I could’ve ended up in that mess or in the traffic behind it. WOW! I felt pretty lucky when I got home.

Today, I’m babysitting my girl, Angie’s 3 cats and 2 ferrets while the exterminators bomb her apartment. I guess they can’t be in the apartment for 24 hours. I used to roommate with Angie so her cats should know me by now, but her male tabby keeps hissing at me whenever he sees me. Her 2 others have hid from me the entire time also. They must think I kidnapped them. Cats are cute but I’ve never owned one and I’m much more of a dog-person anyways. I used to have ferrets also but I will never own one again because I just hate their smell, and I really don’t think they should have been introduced as pets anyways. One of the ferrets that I’m boarding is getting old and barely has any hair on most of his body. It’s pretty sad. And let me tell you, they are NOT cute naked.  Thank god I only have to do this for one night.

Surprise, surprise…I’m heading in to work again, for the 13th day in a row. I swear I’m going to need hosptalization for exhaustion by the time I gather up enough to get my bills from last month paid. Hopefully we’ll only have to struggle through august,  and things will pick up again when September rolls around.
