Well, right before I left for vacation last week, my manager put her 2 weeks notice in. Seeing as how I was doing the majority of her work anyway, I was really hoping that I could take over everything. The recieving and ordering and payroll were really the only things that I didnt do before. Well, the owner and I had a talk right before I left for Oklahoma and I was offered Asst Manager title with a small raise. (Seeing as how I did the job and more, I didnt know wether to be offended, or to feel...

So I get a call from my friend that has Katie Pony. She is choking, yet again. We went through this some months ago, and she backed out on putting her down after she passed the choke, even though she was diagnosed with an esphogeal (sp) tumor. I was so frusterated, and got down right up front with her and told her that we WILL put her down when she chokes again......
I told her to give her a shot of banamine and I am on my way up there to get done what needs to be done. She was supposed...
