You say that ..."Kate quit 3 days later."<br /><br />You say that as if you are surprised. I know you have some strange folk to deal with, but I suspect you are better compensated for it than employees like Kate.

She had just been bitten by a dog. Usually people coming in after something like that just want proof of rabies vax. This crazy lady starts yelling that she has to have a rabies shot RIGHT NOW. I explain that the human rabies shot is much different than a dog or a cat, not to mention that the one species of animal I am *not* allowed to work on is the human. She left in a huff. <br />I next saw her out on a morning walk in the neighborhood wearing a big turkey hat on her head.
