New job offer.

Wow, things are a bit odd here. The hours are really strange! Also, I completely agree that there should be at least two people there at all times, and I think this should be true of any workplace.

And I've never heard of a kennel person carrying so much responsibility! Usually you are the poop-scooping grunt worker who makes minimum wage even though you do lots of physically demanding things.

Probably a good idea not to take the job, this vet office seems a bit odd to me.

I would be uncomfortable being there alone, too. There are always at least 2 people, any job I ever had. And that sounds like a heck of a lot of responsibility for one low-paid person- seems like it shoud be someone who knows more in charge of all that scheduling-like a secretary or vet assistant. At least you know that you looked into it, so you don't have to wonder if you passed something great up!

Good for you for taking the time and carefully evaluating the situation. I wouldn;t have woried about being the only person there, I have been the "opener" for retail places before, but Paul claims I do not know the meaning of the word "worry."

I still think you should start your own Pet portrait photography business on the side!

I think being alone would be dangerouse, I love my dogs but dogs can turn on a stranger, especially when they are sick are in a strange environment.

Sounds like way too much responsibility for what they wanted you to take in pay.

Wow, that's extremely low pay for what they want you to do! I think you made the right decision, it did sound great to me at first, but not so much now.
