Xanga-March 8, 2005

So there are lots of things that I should go into but I think that I will try to limit myself.
The law caught up with me...again! So there I was once again, booking it down this little county road in the big ass vet truck. The radar detector goes off but only beeps once or twice. I saw a locksmith truck coming at me and wondered why was the detector going off. At which point, Dr.Matthews points out that this one is real and I see a cop standing in the road waving his arms. Still I don't make any connection between the previously beeping detector and the cop in the road. I seriously thought, 'is there an accident?' Then it hit me and I humbly pulled over. The cop was still busy chewing what I am sure was a donut when he strode over from his motorcycle. At the window, he says, 'Have I pulled you over before?' I answer him that honestly I don't know because before as this time all I can think about is the badge, gun and how I am going to pay off a speeding ticket. He asks for my license and is sure that yes, he has pulled me over before. And honestly, in one Florida county how many Missouri girls are driving big ass white vet suburbans? Probably not many. So with an exasperated sigh, the same cop that pulled me over only a week and a half before says, 'I'll let you go but you really need to slow down.' Lesson learned? Yes, but it doesn't stop the fact that if I slow down too much, I risk getting hit.
I would like to lodge one complaint. The people that work here, specifically at the ERC, make fun of other people too much. The other workers--that's cool because we do it back to each other, but they make fun of clients. Sometimes I understand, people are dumb. But honestly, today there was a horse that came in and was being fed 14% sweet feed and alfalfa. Now granted this is a lot of protein for a horse that doesn't do anything but the horse was old and skinny. And who is the receptionist and this worker (not even a vet!) to say that's too much. Do they know why the horse is being fed this? No. I don't know that much about nutrition but I don't think that too much protein is a problem. If anything, its a waste of money because the horse will just pee out what they don't use. Anyway, they shouldn't make fun of clients.
