Things I will not miss

• Constant chaos in the barn
• Debbie freaking out about weird (and usually inane) things
• Trina's temper tantrums
• Watching people with more money than sense throw money away
• Watching Debbie buy Trina a new horse every four months instead of encouraging her to work with the twelve others she already has
• Seeing good horses pick up bad habits as a result of Trina's laziness while riding
• Having to constantly cater to Debbie's whims
• Having to constantly cater to Trina's whims
• Cleaning the office and bathroom in the barn
• Exercising the miniature ponies
• Tutoring Trina while she sends text messages and refuses to pay attention
• Watching Trina be disrespectful to everyone around her
• Fielding constant (and usually purposeless) early morning, late evening, and weekend phone calls from Debbie
• Having to stand by while Debbie's dogs and horses are under-exercised and over-fed
• Watching Debbie mishandle her dogs and then wonder why they have behavioral issues
• Patiently explaining something to Debbie or Trina, at their request, then watching as they completely disregard everything I've said
• Unforgiving hot weather in summer
• Always smelling like horse
• Constantly shifting plans at the barn, and making plans that always fall through because of a last-minute will of Debbie's
• Watching Debbie coddle Trina and then wonder why she isn't self-disciplined or independent
• The funny looks people give me when I say I want to get a PhD
• Trying to keep the barn tidy, while being the only anal person amongst a group of sloppy, disorganized individuals
• Icy roads in winter
• The creepy woman that lives two doors down from me
• Working in a place where the owners refuses to conserve, recycle, or even attempt to be environmentally conscious, despite claiming to be environmental advocates
• Flies
