helping

i'm in the middle of my work-filled week but it hasn't been so bad so far. i'm actually off today so i got to sleep in but i'll be going in for the wellness clinic tonight if i'm feeling up to it. i was also off yesterday but had to get up early to help out with snip. i'm glad i went though because i was the only volunteer that showed up. so i got to do everything. it's nice to be useful for a good cause. i've also been taking pics of the new arrivals at the kennel. i took jake and carmen's here. this is the new puppy ginger in quarantine at the house. i've been able to hopefully help some birds too. my brother's having an event for project perry next month. i've been working on getting some great stuff for the silent auction. a gift certificate for a weekend of boarding at the hhs. a large terrarium from chrisi. and possibly a piece of art from gloria clifford. i'm really excited and hope the event is a success. gareth and i went to see the social network last week. it was pretty good but almost makes you not want to use facebook. he didn't do a review. he's been promoted to assistant manager at bbuster. that's the only way to get a raise there anymore. so i'm glad he's finally getting more of what he deserves. my manager's giving me a hard time about my availability now. i just hope they keep me on so i can keep my benefits. i've learned how important it is to have health insurance with everything lately.
