career change

God damn I'm pissed off. Took me ages to get onto this equine dentist. Finally got him. Made appointment for 7am today. Wake up super early. Froze ass off getting Dan in (you try finding a horse in a dark 20 acres!), and was at the hitching rail 7am sharp. Waiting, waiting...20mins later I call him. He sounds asleep. I ask how far off. He miswrote his diary and was there LAST week. Did he call me? Fuck no, don't be silly, what sort of equine professional would bother to WRITE DOWN YOUR DETAILS! Seriously? I'm going to go do a farrier and dentistry course, start making shitloads of money and treat clients like crap. Seems to be the way to do it.He has one last chance next Wednesday, if no show or whatever, he can go screw himself. Only re-booked because didn't have number of the other local dentist handy. And the other one uses mandatory sedation and power tools which sounds very, very wrong to me. Esp since the Australian Equine Dentistry Association doesn't approve of this method as there is no proven humane equipment, nor proof that the horse doesn't suffer from excessive heat in their teeth during the process. Mandatory sedation sounds like a quick-fix to me too, shows the person doesn't have any real horsemanship skills. I'll go there if I have to, but will avoid as long as possible. Now sitting at TFE about to find warm beverage and fain interest in Excel. Blergh. Bad mood Maggie is in a bad mood.

Nah, Michael Maskall, same guy who came out last time when we had that big group session thingy. If he screws me over next Wednesday I have another one lined up to try. I don't like to use sedation or power-tools, the whole thing just screams "WRONG" to me.
And re the feed bins, I am PAYING you, woman. So you may as well tell me the price or I'll come over with money and you'll just have to deal with it :P
