Internship is all fun and lots is being learned but sometimes time away is required. This weekend I took an evening off to escape to the city, see some of the festival and meet up with a few old friends who were visiting. It was a great night out!
I find it far too easy to stay late here and follow cases that I've become involved with even if I should have been away hours earlier. Work-life balance is important though, and so more time will be spent escaping.

Night Shift
Well that was fun! I survived my week on the night shift. It was fairly bad with at least 3 cases there each night, but everything survived, even the 2 animals that tried to die at once.
There were a variety of emergency cases such as the feather plucking cockatiel at 3am and the sick Labrador (has he eaten something? Are you sure?), although most of the people that called me weren't actually our clients. It was very strange that I had to send at least 4 people back to their own vets, including one complex cases that was in Northumberland who we'd never seen! They weren't even in the area! Weird.
Still catching up on sleep. I went to a friend's wedding this weekend. It was great, but I was exhausted.
