Callie

Callie pushed open the shining front doors of the clinic. She strode over to the mahogany desk, and tapped her nails on the counter as she waited for the secretary. When she came, Callie said,"Hi, I'm Callie Johnston. I just graduated from vet school and I was wondering if you had a job opening? I have ID and everything you need for proof, and I would be happy to set up an interveiw if necessary." She pushed back her strawberry blonde hair. The older woman spoke in her raspy voice. "Hmmm, well, we seem to have a shortage of vets in here, and there are a large number of patients coming now days. If I can just see some certification of your graduation..."

Callie walked out of the clinic smiling ear to ear. She would start work on Monday, unless there was an emergency before then. her salary would be about $43,000 right now, which was fine with her. She needed money to buy a house, and so she could start saving now.

She decided to go for a walk at the Downs, and so she grabbed her coat out of her used Toyota Highlander, and headed out.
