Surprise and Surveys

The facility was new, big, beautiful and very well run, in that it was well equipped and managed with great care to horse and people health and safety. The place she was pleased to be teaching was run in a  convenient and logical way and was unfailingly clean and friendly -- like a text book equine biz, with healthy, well trained, talented horses that were consistently well treated and well cared for.

Her students had all ridden elsewhere, and she thought they'd chosen well to be students at their current academy.  And then Jill was pleasantly suprised in the random surveys the boss did when more than half her students said their favourite thing about the place was their teacher...  they'd had to add the option on the blank line explaining "other"

But, could she use that positive feedback for the project?  The head coach didn't get that kind of feedback so it could actually be harmful to Jill's reputation instead of helpful.  

With a disturbing number of her peers and distressing number of former bosses, Jill was already so unpopular she thought she may as well try and get paid to be annoying, ha, as a Horse and Human Health and Safety inspector for the Animal Wellness Media outlet.

Just what kind of outing had she just invited a guy out to? He probably just wanted to horse around and in hindsight she felt bad for the very girlie nature of the live music she expected to subject him to. AFTER a 2hour volunteer training shift? Holy good deed-ism.  She was very impressed that he was good sport about her ideas and just seemed up for the party...
