Veterinarian - sam martin it’s fun being a vet i like (t because although it is hard work, every day is different! it all depends on what is wrong with the animals that come at my clinic, i work long days on mondays, wednesdays and fridays, and short days on tuesdays, thursdays and saturdays. sunday is my day off so i can spend some time with my family. my day at my clinic begins at 7 am. my receptionist opens the door, turns on some music, and makes everyone a cup of tea or coffee. my assistant cleans and feeds the animals. the phones start to ring, and people make appointments. this is a very busy time of day! at 9 am, pet owners start to arrive with their sick pets. appointments take up the whole morning. at midday, i stop for 2 hours. i don’t examine any new animal patients. i use these 2 hours to have lunch and do all my paperwork. at 2 pm, i start to see sick animals again. at 5 pm, three students from a local school who love animals arrive to help out. i am always happy to see their smiling faces! from 5 pm to 7 pm, i continue to see animal patients. then, at 7 pm, we close our doors and the clean-up begins! we tidy the clinic, and feed and clean the animals. of course, we also stroke them, and give them hugs and cuddles, too! then, we turn off the lights and go home. this (s the type of day i aim for. but of course unexpected things sometimes happen!
