dog walking= steaming pile of shit

The past week has been INSANE! Who knew being a "professional" dog walker would mean I was on call every second of the day?@?? Basically I am a human pooper scooper. WIthin the past few days I have received frantic phone calls......

1) "You didn't leave a note?!?! Now the owner will never know if her dog pissed or shit, or both! She had to to race home from work and let them out immediately!" However, before she took her dogs out, she made sure to call my boss, not me, voice her complaint, wait for my boss to call me, and thheeeennnnnn find out if she needed to walk her dog. Idiots.

2) Number two was more of an accusation. "I heard you were wearing a dress and heels to meet a client. she was concerned you wouldn't be able to walk her 8lb dog" Ok, so it was 8am and i swung by this ladys' place to meet her, NOT TO WALK HER DOG AT THE TIME. I threw on a dress from the night before....no heels, when was the last time I wore heels?!

3) and I quote..."However, I am very disappointed in Kirsten's watering skills. Basically, my heirloom Brandywine tomatoes are dead and crispy brown, my dahlias almost dead, so probably no flowers this year, and everything else was very wilted, the earth caked and pulled away from their containers, my front yard a disheveled mess, when I got back on Sat. at noon. She was supposed to have watered on Mon and Weds and Friday, and clearly she didn't. I showed her the hose in the front, it should have been extremely easy. I even called her cell phone on Fri. to check in, she didn't indicate any problems. One of the MAIN reasons I hired your service was the plant watering aspect. We are going away again for a week in August, and I would consider using you again, but I would like some confidence that the person will actually be able to water the plants correctly. I would prefer not her again."
I am officially a plant killer. ( and i did water her plants all three days, for the record.)

This job sucks.
