Yesterday I met with the volunteer coordinator from the
shelter where I used to volunteer (and later work) before going to veterinary
school. We talked about possible help they might need from a veterinarian
including performing surgeries, assessing sick animals, and prescribing
treatments for them.
I’m pretty excited to get back volunteering for a couple of
reasons. One, I firmly believe that volunteer work is good for the soul. Two,
it gives me a change of pace and perhaps a chance to practice different skills
(high volume surgery, infectious disease management) than I would at my day
job.
The people I met seemed SUPER excited at the prospect of
having me back, which was flattering and also a little weird because I didn’t
feel very valued as an employee there. (That could have been due to weird
politics and the way the organization was set up – who knows.) At any rate, a
couple of the people-in-charge hinted at me potentially working there again.
Also flattering, but unless the politics have radically changed there I’d
rather just volunteer and stay out of that mess, thankyouverymuch.
