Whhhhaaa?!

So I got a job. I know you're thinking, "Whhhaaaa?!" Please-- no sounds of astonishment. I got called about a job in necropsy and histology at UT's vet school, so I had an interview with them 2 weeks ago, waited a week, and got offered the job. Woo woo! Monday was my first day on the job, which I spent in UT's HR orientation until 12:15 before ever going to work. I then played on the necropsy floor where vet students and pathologists were cutting up some animals. There were 3 beagles, a himalayan cat, a 5 lb puppy, a horse, and a beaver. Yes, a beaver. It was pretty cool, I must say. My boss and I worked on chopping up the horse for disposal, and, amazingly, I didn't gag or vomit while doing this. I didn't really handle much of the cutting-- I mainly worked the wench that lifted the body off the ground. I realize that I probably won't get to talk about this position much if I value all of our readers' stomachs, soooo I'll just sum it up as "lots o' blood and guts." I didn't really mind all of the nasty stuff. Also, my boss is pretty awesome, so we can make light of all the gore. The other half of my job (necropsy is going to be my morning job) is working in the histology department helping with the biopsy samples that are sent in by different clincians. I haven't really done anything in that department yet, but I'm guessing it will be a good learning experience if I want to continue in the scientific field. Mmkay, well, my lunch break is almost up, so peace.
