Character Guarantee
Today's job was vaccinating the weaned calves.
Today's job consisted of 3 shots, and some pour on pesticide.
My "shot" actually was 1 cc given up each nostril with a dull plastic attachment on the syringe.
Today's job is one you *can't* apply for if:
You value manicures.
Your fancy clothing can't get stained with "green" (we are talking bovines here), ripped on gates/fences/alleyways, or absorb the "eau d'work" (dust/sweat/manure).
Processes of repetitive nature drive you ga-ga.
You are frightened by "baby" large animals... who are totally clueless about what a pounding hoof, slinging head, or a quick reverse can do to a homo sapiens.
Neither can you attempt this job if you are in the least bit allergic to calf snot or calf slobbers.
Because I can GUARANTEE that by the end of the day... calf snot will be part of your "character"...

You SERIOUSLY need to provide a warning in the heading on entries like these.... my poor keyboard!!!!! And another mouthful of diet coke wasted. Maybe it's just because I have "escaped" those fine, fine work opportunities for a calmer life but you make me laugh every time. Thank you!

This was great - quite humorous. I want to be slimed by cow snot and slobber and whatever else comes with the job.
I have to say I really like the links you have been providing from previous stories. I have been following you for almost two years and a story such as "Wildlife" from last year will come up that I do not remember reading. I do not understand how I can possibly forget some of these stories - 'tis a mystery. Thanks for the refresher.

Oh yeah ... been there, done that! Especially when they throw their head and *sling* the snot and slobbers in a wide arc!!
