In preparation for my afternoon shift at Cat City, I was reviewing some of the closing procedures. I actually ran the place by myself last weekend, including doing the cash register and making a bank run, supervising volunteers, closing up shop, and returning frantically an hour after closing because I forgot to turn on the alarm. I loved it. I would do it every day if I could.
But I was reading through my staff guide, and I came across something that just totally encompasses the attitude of PAWS and also makes any corporate job I've held seem, well, inhumane: You get one full day paid bereavement leave if your companion animal dies. I didn't even have one unpaid day for a human at my last job.
I'm going to try and remember to take some pics of Cat City tonight if we're not ridiculously busy (adopted out 14 kittens and 4 adult cats last weekend). I'm helping out with write-ups and photos for our Petfinder.com web site stuff, too. Think I can include some of those shots in my portfolio?
Have a great weekend. We'll see if I remember to update tomorrow.
P.S. Chelsea was my first intake -- I got to worm her. And I named her!
