Someone stole a pit bull from my dog rescue. Police found the guy and asked him about it, but he no longer had the dog. I am really worried about his safety. He is such a sweet boy.

Ugg, bad situation to be in. I always do the opposite: do really well in the beginning of the course so I have some slack come finals. I'm just usually so burned out by the time finals come around that I will barely study.Dumb decision for the semester: slacking off for the first two biochem exams because, whatever, if the final exam is my highest grade, that will be the semester grade, so I'll just do awesome on that.
WHY did I think like that?!?! I hate HATE cumulative finals, especially when I need to consider it 100% of my grade and I seriously slacked off studying until this weekend.

I am so mad at my husband. He NEVER has forethought. Ever. My car is in the shop because the check engine light is on. He rides his bike to work so I drove his at his suggestion. Well crap. The check engine light is on in his too. So after bootcamp and heading to the grocery store his POS car leaves me stranded. Call him to see how long the light has been on. "It's because the gas gauge doesn't work." So you're telling me you sent me out in a car devoid of gas? "Maybe." Are you kidding me?! He's like this all the time! Can't think more than 10 minutes ahead!!! Refused to consider coming with me to vet school and when asked if he'll visit me he says that may not be doable but that that is too far in the future.
Sorry. This car thing just set me off.

My first thought was: Whoa! You're married? Cool.
Then it was, dang this rant has multiple things that I feel bad about. The whole not coming/visiting vet school sucks a lot! The car! I would be so mad. The check engine light always freaks me out and then to be stranded?! Ugh! I hope your day gets better.
Thanks I don't really talk about being married because many, many things over the last couple of years have left us VERY shaky.

So over working where I do. I'm over being the only person that does their job. I'm over knowing we'll be short staffed and not calling anyone in and being lectured about how I don't do enough. I'm over other doctors giving subpar care to animals (making a dog that is bleeding out the nose and mouth and can't walk in wait 10 minutes before seeing it).
I am angry at the place you work at Dyachei!!!! I wish you were in a better circumstance! And I cannot believe the dog that had to wait! that sounds horribly cruel!!!!! When can you get out of there?!?!?!
That is just an awful situation to be dealing with. I really hope both you and your husband find something much better and soon!I need a job offer. I can't leave loans unpaid.
So the full situation is this: my husband hates his job and I hate mine. This new Dr., Dr. B is sapping my will to work there. My husband is sapping my energy at home talking about his job. He finds out at the end of the week if he has a new job that he would start in July. I've interviewed with 3 places and am waiting for more. I interview again with one of them Sunday. Dr. B is so freaking stupid sometimes I want to pull my hair out. On a regular day with both of us working, I typically end up seeing twice the pets she does because a lazy slob. She constantly tried to undermine me. She treats our clients and their pets like crap. She is super shady and has now (thankfully) attracted the attention of higher ups. I was looking at buying a practice in GA, but think I will pass on it if my husband gets the new job (no good opportunities for him there).
Today, she saw a vaccine allergic pet. The owner was coming in at 3:15 with another pet and wanted to pick up then. Because shes a lazy slacker, Dr. B didn't have time to go to lunch until 2:45. I reminded her the dog's owner would be here at 3:15.
1st response: Why don't you just put your name on it? The owner hasn't met me yet. I told her hell, no, I won't put my name on a pet I've never seen.
2nd response: Well, I can't wait another 30 minutes for my lunch.
As you can see, her priorities are out of whack.

This is actually a rave, but ...They found the stolen pitty, and he has been returned to the shelter! Now if we can only get him adopted by someone great!
Yay!! I literally just got all pissed off again when I opened this thread and saw your original post about it at the top! So glad to hear that!
And Dyachei... did you ever hear back from the place you went back to a few times???
Yet another interview Sunday.
Hoping things start to look better for you Dyachei!!!!
And my rant is about financial aid forms. They're just a pain in the butt to fill out. Asking me how much undergrad aid I got per year. I can tell you my direct loans but hell if I remember when my Perkins/other institutional aid was taken out. I can just tell you the amount and how much I'm going to owe but not the year. I used to be able to pull it up on Webadviser through my school but I no longer have access to that.
Institutional forms of any type are a huge old pain in the butt.
Just had to deal with filling out insurance forms yesterday. Spent a while yelling at the forms and the computer search system and the directions that tell you to choose a search option that doesn't exist. I think someone purposefully designs these things like this just so they can laugh at everyone going crazy trying to fill them out.
Also, best of luck to you on Sunday, dyachei. Really hope one of these interviews works out for you!
So I'm going to use this thread to make a confession...
I actually have no freaking clue what a WW game is, or about, or how its played.
There. I said it! Lol. I feel like such a n00b!

Sent my bengal to go live with my mentor vet (the one who took her from crazy breeder vet originally). She's breathing heavy even in her sleep and we had a long convo debating about when to pull the plug on her today. I feel so so guilty, but I just couldn't watch her dying anymore. I'm too emotionally attached and it's getting so hard to stay rational. The vet's going to give her a little more time since she's still playing a little bit. We also ordered an oxygen condenser for her to see if that helps with the breathing. I just really feel like I failed her. I should have been able to see her through. I think I could have, but it would have killed me. I don't know. I just feel so bad.
Stopped at an Amish bakery on my way home from camping.
They had pies. Fresh out of the oven.
Hello chocolate cream, hello blackberry.
Goodbye diet
Currently reading a dogs purpose by w Bruce Cameron. Totally made me cry in a part where the dog character dies because it totally reminded me of when I had to euthanize my dog. Last Friday was the one year anniversary. I was totally bawling my eyes out a few minutes ago and I'm quite sad.......more than I've let on to my friends and family....can't stop thinking about it and wondering what I could have done differently......sigh
Really sad day
Last night I did the overnight at the emergency clinic I work at at home. I got to work with one of my favorite co-workers, we've always gotten along and work really well together, I really look up to her and we are two of only three people left who still work here from when the clinic opened.
While we were catching up she told me that she had been butting heads with our office manager and one of the vets and techs from the day-time practice. From her side of the story (the only side I've heard so taken with a grain of salt) it sounded like she had no idea why these people were being difficult with her and that she was trying to fix it. She said she had spoken to one of the co-owners of the practice, who is also one of the emergency vets and thought that the situation would soon be fixed. I listened to her and gave her my good lucks and then didn't think much of it.
Well When I woke up from my nap this afternoon and checked my facebook her status was all about her being fired! She then proceeded to go into detail about how "so and so is a B**** and their day will come and such and such" I was totally shocked 1. because I never thought she would be fired and 2. because of the way she was conducting herself about it. I mean she outright called out one of our other co-workers on her facebook blaming her for getting her fired and lots of other bad stuff.
I'm just so dissapointed in my work place right now, dissappointed that these disagreements went so far that they resulted in our losing a very good worker and dissapointed at her behavior afterwards and I'm also worried that I will somehow get dragged in to this drama. But above all I'm really sad to have lost such a great co-worker, I'm really going to miss working with her :cry:.
then to top off the day I took my car in for an oil change and ended up having to replace a bunch of parts (car illiterate, the mechanic (that i really trust) gave me a list of things that were broken and would result in me stranded on the side of the road) so my originally $45 bill turned into a $400 one .
(re-directed to more appropriate RAVE tread)
So I'm actually graduating with a ba in psych .. went to our psych department head to get a signature for my degree (this was wayy before i got my academic relief from my horrible semester) and she basically told me "there's no way you are getting into vet school... these grades are sticking with you forever...you can't do anything" I was a little stunned. I tried explaining to her my plan on how to bounce back and let her know what I have been going through. She just spoke over me and told me to save it for someone else. I only got as far as telling her that I am taking summer school and she cut me off saying that I should just graduate and get out of the university since there really isn't anything that I can gain from attending more classes.
Made me even more depressed ... and now that I'm feeling better these days, I just want to succeed and one day just show her up.
IMO she crossed the line. I don't think this was a "harsh truth" .. I think she was careless and didn't think twice before speaking to me, a student, in that manner. Just thinking back on that moment makes me so angry

to thisScrew her! I have a close friend in vet school at RVC that was told something very similar by our college's pre health adviser (we called her the dream crusher). Fast forward a year, my friend got in to RVC and the adviser wanted a copy of my friend's acceptance letter for HER success file! Of course my friend said no.
What does this psych adviser know about vet school admissions anyways?
Let your haters be your motivators

She definitely crossed the line. If it helps at all, advisors, profs etc are notoriously bad at predicting who will or won't get into graduate schools. I won't bore you with my own story, but my adviser gave me VERY bad advice and I feel lucky to have survived the process. Go ahead with your plan!
