This week I helped the walk in clinic, which isn't always walk in everyday, I have learned. I helped them file stuff for a couple reasons. One, I'm not usually working in that part of the center but when I am I noticed their filing system was off, some drawers didn't have any labeling and others the labeling was off, so I fixed those. I also found two people with the same name but different animals and addresses so I put on their file what type of dog they had, one had a boy and the other a girl. I also found a repeat file. I really like helping out because I understand they can't always get to small work like that, so I know when I'm not there at least things are easier for them. This week I watched Audri's Rube Goldberg machine video. At my volunteering job there isn't a lot that's very difficult. It's usually pretty simple tasks. However in my real job I'm a waitress and one thing I find difficult are food trays. They're very large and obviously very heavy with food on them. One girl even told me that when she carried a pizza once, she hit a wall with the spatula we put under the pizza to serve it, made the pizza slice fly and hit the wall. The only way to get better is to use them, so even if I get a table that only orders two things, I put it on a tray just to practice. Last night, Thursday, 9/29/16, was the first night I had multiple tables and I loved it. I made $27 which I freaked out over, our bartender and my trainer Blanca, thought it was kind of silly because some girls make $200 on a Thursday, but I was excited for a little bit of cash. ******side not, I'm doing this Friday 9/30/16 morning and probably won't be able to upload my time sheet tomorrow, Saturday 10/01/16, morning because of work

This week I helped the clinic prepare for their vet clinic for the Warren low cost vet clinic, on Saturday. I helped open packages of syringes and make cones. I also helped put files in order for the transport vans. The transport vans carry the animals here, if their owner can't. I've seen lots of cute dogs this week. I really enjoy working there.

I really liked working at All About Animals this week. On my first day, Wednesday the 14th, I helped out in the surgery center. I mostly just highlighted paperwork, but I also got to make cones for the dogs. I also got to see the dogs and help clean out the cages. On my second day I helped out in the wellness center. That day I got to file paperwork and highlight. I couldn't stay as long on my second day because I had a job interview. It was still very fun though. A common interview question I struggle with is "What's your biggest weakness?" because, I don't know how to answer it. I usually try and tailor my answer to the job I'm applying for. However, math is my basic answer.
