my day starts at four o'clock in the morning. that's when my feet hit the floor. i'm at work at five-thirty,and i finish at two in the afternoon. in between i do a lot of walking. i wear out a lot of shoes each year-maybe four or five pairs. and my poor feet, at the end of the day they're really hurting. the other problem is the dogs. sometimes you can make friends with them and they'll follow you around. but other times, they can be mean. I've been bitten a couple of times. i can't say as i care much for dogs any more. but it's not all bad, my job. one thing i like is the way you meet a lot of people. you learn all about their private lives, too. it never gets boring.
