I read Michelle’s blog yesterday, she clean her carpet after her dog decided to poo on the floor. As I was reading her blog, I kept thinking “wow that sucks.” If you own a dog, you know how badly dog poo can smell. The same for babies, I’m sure, right?
Anyway, as I went to walk my dog this morning in darkness, where did the light go?! I noticed she made some poo and I went to pick it up but um it was dark and I couldn’t find it. I picked up what I could and took her back in. I went about my day as usual, headed to the gym but the whole time I smelled something.
Yes, I stepped in it. A big steaming pile of poo on the bottom of my sneaker, just one thank god. Unfortunately, my sneakers have this weird pattern on the bottom and the poo was stuck in every weird corner possible. I tried washing it out in the bathroom but the horrible poo wouldn’t leave for at least 15 minutes. I didn’t want to waste a gym day so I sprayed my sneaker down (thank god it was finally clean) and I went to workout with one wet sneaker.
The morale to this story- Bring a flashlight when it is dark out and you need to find poop.
In other news, round two in set for Friday, woohoo. I’m going to meet with two supervisors and the rest of the team.
Holy wow batman! I’m kind of freaked, what do they ask during round two?

Sorry to hear about your sneaker. If it makes you feel any better, I stepped in cow dung in the province once, and I was wearing flip-flops. It was the most disgusting thing EVAR.
Good luck on Friday! I’m sure you’ll blow them all away.

I have slipped numerous times in dog poo whilst taking my puppy outside. At my apartment they have a puppy path. A designated area where you are supposed to take your animal to defecate. But they never clean this area and I refer to it as the “minefield” I’ve written countless letters to management that they need a trashcan at these puppy paths so that we can clean up after our animals and also so that we don’t kill ourselves on a regular basis.
My guest bathroom’s bathtub it filled with the shoes that I’ve cleaned from slipping on the dog path. I should really put those away now, I’m sure they’re dry by now!
Also, GOOD LUCK on your second interview!

I maintain that cleaning up the poo is a LOT better than trying to get their pee out of anything. I’m so lucky that my dogs graced me with both at my office. Good times!
Good luck on round two!

oh no! i hope i didn’t jinx you!
good luck with the second interview! — and you were worried a few weeks ago about the job search? you’re a pro!
they’ll probably talk more specifics of the job as well as pay. so be prepared to talk salary.

gross about the sneaker!
i’ve found on round two its some of the same questions, with a lot more “why do you want to work here” and more “about you” questions … usually with the same interviewer and one new person or so.
i hope it goes well.
and gross about the poop!

ugh…we step in dog poo more often than we’d like since EVERYONE in our neighborhood has a dog and some people aren’t too great about picking up after their pets.
tip for the future to clean out the little grooves in your sneakers: toothpicks. it works!
good luck on your second interview!

Round two means they already love you, and are trying to confirm you are a good fit. And also to find out how you deal with stress, like a giant poop underfoot. Too funny! What else can yo do but laugh?

Also, yay for Friday! Sending good luck your way.

I admire that you actually stayed at the gym. I would have totally seen that as a “sign” to go home. haha it doesn’t take much for me.
