So for those following my job shenanigans – an update. I got two interviews, one for job1-with-little-pay-and-many-hours and one for PhD-with-little-pay-and-very-flexible-hours- where-one-can-also-locum, I went to the PhD interview and won’t know til Mon/Tues whether I have it or not. However job1’s interview is Tues also, and as much as I like the people I work with I decided I can’t afford the job. So today had to send an email to my boss cancelling my interview. Of course there’s a sense of guilt for not staying there, but I wouldn’t even be able to save on that salary, let alone actually get somewhere to live. So today was decision day. If I don’t get the PhD I’m quite interested to go back into practice, perhaps with charity, and see what happens.
In other news, Charlie the rabbit got flystrike. Which is rather rubbish for a vet. In my defence, I see him once a week at the moment and though my parents care for him well, they can’t pick him up. It takes only 2-3 days for the maggots to get going. Nothing too serious – only 10 maggots and the skin is fine, but now his appetite is rock bottom. I think he’ll be coming back to work with me tomorrow for syringe feeding, since he’s only nibbling grass and ignoring all other food currently. Ok in himself, just not eating enough.
