RANT HERE thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
UTK got scratched from my list because of that requirement - if my 3 semester hour survey to biochem was good enough for everyone else (besides Texas, lol) then I wasn't worrying about it for UTK. That, and I had to have *some* way to narrow down my list.

But I feel your pain, and was also wondering about how strict that requirement was. Since it's pretty odd IMO.

ETA: A rant! Why do I always have to pee right after lecture starts (instead of before)? Urgh.

MAJOR RANT. and I hope I do not offend anyone... as in those on this forum that are attending UTK

So after weeks of leaving messages and trying to get in touch with the school regarding my current Biochemistry course (being taken at a legitimate university, but only 3.0 and not 4.0 credits), I finally get a brief message this evening while I was at work. UTK requires a 4.0 credit course, but does not require a lab.

I'm surprised that you weren't able to get into contact with Dean Thompson, or Associate Dean Brace. They are usually very helpful (as are their assistants), but I'm sure they are swamped with questions.

What if you take 2 semester of your biochem course? Would that count? I know that you can take pre-reqs in the spring and still get in, as long as you make a C in the class. I was taking Biochem when I had my interview, and they just said make sure to maintain a C and send a transcript.
 
This is more of a rant directed at myself, more than anything.

So I finally got my butt in gear and bought a GRE practice book, and yesterday I finally took a GRE practice test. Well, I bombed both sections. My verbal score was in the 400 range, and I was totally shocked, until I started reading through the answers to the questions I got wrong, and realized that the type of questions were labelled as "ANTONYM" - I was trying to find the synonym. Apparently there aren't any direct "find the best synonym" questions; just antonyms and analogies?

I'm hoping my bad math score was due to the fact that I made a lot of stupid mistakes, and I ended up finishing the section with 16 minutes left, so I need to take time to slow down and check my answers. And I somehow got the impression from reading the Princeton Review testprep book that "the relationship cannot be determined from this information" was never the right answer, when apparently it is the right answer sometimes...

Anyway, I have a little less than 2 months left, so hopefully I can get all of the stupid mistakes out of the way now.

Also, did anyone ever pay the $6 to have the service grade your practice-test essays? It seems like a smart idea to do once, but the essays seem so painful to write that I don't know if I can even motivate myself to write a practice essay.
 
So, my gerbil got out and ate at least half a birth control pill two days ago. I just discovered the chewed up package now.

All I wanted to do was come home, make supper and relax.... so much for that.

TEMPLE GRANDIN is speaking at OKSU today in less than an hour, and I have a molecular microbiology lab instead. How did I not know about this sooner???

That totally sucks. I'm soooo sorry!! 🙁 She's simply amazing to see speak in person. If you haven't read them yet, I highly recommend her books Animals in Translation: Using the Mysteries of Autism to Decode Animal Behavior and Animals Make Us Human: Creating the Best Life for Animals if you can get your hands on them.

Hopefully you'll get another shot at seeing her someday (chances are you will as she's been on the 'circuit' for a while now) and that your birthday present was enough to make up for this loss. Happy Belated by the way! :hardy:
 
u know what sucks about an "anonymous" forum, when your identity is revealed and you cant vent anymore 🙁 can i make a second screenname?!?! lol
 
yes.

as long as you're not 'ranting' about me 😉
 
This mythology class is kicking my butt. 🙁
Memorizing the gods, their symbols, attributes, and myths feels like such a waste of time.
 
So, I think I've finally accepted the fact that I will never like my personal statement and I'll just deal with what I have. Now that I've finished that, I'm on to planning for next summer and next year. You know, like when I don't get into vet school and have to join the "real world" for a while? (I'm a pessimist.) I'm planning ion applying to an internship for the summer and need to write about why I'm interested in it.

This is like the personal statement all over again. Anything I want to say sounds cliched and stupid and just ughhhh. I used to be able to write. I don't know what happened to me. 🙁

And also! The professor I asked to write me an eLOR hasn't even looked at the site! I asked him like two months ago! And sent an e-mail to him a week or two ago as a subtle reminder to make sure he knew. This is stressing me out so much.

Thank God I still have a week until school starts.
 
I am so far behind on these applications. I was excited that I was going to have tomorrow and Saturday off so I could get some stuff done on them. But today the office manager asked me if I could come in tomorrow since they are short staffed. I really need the money and since it is over time I said yes; with the hopes that I will get to leave early (yeah right like that ever happens especially on a Friday). So now I feel like I am putting myself even further behind on the apps. I need to learn to say no and do something for myself for once; I am way too nice (ok not always but most of the time).

And when I got home and turned on my laptop. My computer has done something funky and has changed all of the settings and now it is saying that it has failed to connect to some service service (yes it repeats it) and so some users may be blocked from getting in. I am the only user. This is the second time my computer has done something stupid after a windows update. The first time it would never start right and I would have to keep running windows startup repair and then the updates would fail and it would do the updates again and then not start up right, then do the startup repair. It did that for weeks. Finally, one day the updates just magically worked. Now it is ****ing up again. It is driving me crazy. It had better not totally crap out because then I will never get these apps done. 😡

Get a mac. 😀

But in all seriousness, I hope things get moving for you! And that your computer stops screwing up!

I know all too well how you feel. For some reason I got scheduled extra hours in these two weeks before apps are due. And its not like the vet does not know I am freaking out about it either, I am constantly talking about my stress level and things of that nature. Though work is a good way to get my mind off things, and plus it reminds me of why I am there, and what I want to dedicate my life to 🙂. As my boyfriend always tells me, don't stress because its all going to get done, you'll find a way somehow. And he's right. Don't we always just find a way?
I plan on dedicating all day Sunday to finishing and tidying up my PS (which may mean rewriting it, a third time).
You can do it! I have faith!

Thanks! I plan on spending all day Saturday getting things finished up. Including starting my PS. I hate the PS. Good luck to you too. You are right we will always find a way to get it done...it somehow always works out.
 
Went out to the barn yesterday, found out two horses were euth'ed over the past two days for ridiculously severe colic. Both were gorgeous horses - one JUST finished a George Morris clinic and his owner and I have become chat buddies. The other was 6 or 7, one of the more talented school horses there. Sad.

I'm waiting for my chemistry class to start. It's a lecture for a lab, which is beyond ridiculous. I make myself go but it's just a waste fo 50mins. At least I get to go to the barn tonight.

Finally got something out for the ISU second supplemental essay, which is good I guess. It just looks like two different people wrote my two ISU supp essays, though; my first one is so awesome and coherent and sexy and this one is just like "Ohai, I'm a fifth grader. I write sentences. They can be kind of redunant. They lack punch. Did I mention this experience? The one in my PS? Oh, I did. Okay. Pick me! 🙂"

I WILL revise/finalize my PS this weekend. I WILL revise/finalize/submit my ISU supp this weekend.

So after weeks of leaving messages and trying to get in touch with the school regarding my current Biochemistry course (being taken at a legitimate university, but only 3.0 and not 4.0 credits), I finally get a brief message this evening while I was at work. UTK requires a 4.0 credit course, but does not require a lab. Most schools this translates as 3.0 credits or if you're like my undergrad, 1.0 credit unit. Apparently, my course only covers 40-50% of the necessary material that the Biochem department requires a prereq course to have. How many weeks do we have left? Oh right, 2. So now I have to scratch UTK (which was very high up on my list). A suggestion they gave me was to take the course somewhere else. I am already a few weeks into the class and its not as if I am surrounded by universities. I realize schools are swamped with questions, but with something this important, I should have been notified sooner. I plan on calling them tomorrow to sort out the details but this is outrageous and I just needed to write it out and vent a bit.
Sorry if I happen to offend to UTK vet students in the meantime. I just don't understand how a legitimate biochemistry course (with an organic chem as a prereq for it) can be insufficient?!
so frustrated 😡

No offense taken. Actually, i was in the same boat with my biochemistry course. in the end, i just emailed/scanned/sent by snail mail a copy of my biochem syllabus to pretty much every department and every person on campus trying to get an answer...which came weeks later. The same thing also happened to me when i was waitlisted. I must have emailed and called every week to find out about my position on the waitlist and never heard back from anyone until i was called off the waitlist. ugh.

My rant for the day: bacteriology exams...i HATE them. pretty sure i failed this one and now i'm screwed for anatomy.

You may have heard this before from your big sib, but seriously don't worry about bacteriology. Everyone passes. Our year, the high grade was ~70% and I can promise you I got way less than that and still made it out with a B of some sort (can't remember if it was a B+). Nobody made less than a C. Dr. Bemis knows the questions are challenging and curves accordingly at the end of the semester.

Totally unrelated, but omfg I saw your post on LJ equestrian about the euth's at the barn.

Also, is it a full moon this week? Because the number of whackitrons we've had to deal with this week (ESPECIALLY today) has been ABSURD. I mean, we all see some crazy people in GP, but this was reaching new heights of insanity. DON'T DRINK THE KOOL-AID, people.
 
Why do clients think that it is important that you know they "used to be a vet tech" or "used to work in a vet clinic". I dealt with 3 clients yesterday that all claimed they "used to work in vet clinics". The first one was a lady with her cat who "used to be a tech" and then proceeded to say that she does not want her cat vaccinated for rabies because it stays indoors and she also does not want it vaccinated or tested for felv/fiv because of the same reason. Then she proceeds to ask if she can just get the distemper/parvo vaccine. 😕 Uhhh....you own a CAT...they don't get those vaccines.

Then there was the lady who said she "used to be a tech" and then asked if there was any way if we could tell if the dogs anal glands were full without actually expressing/checking them. Yeah...if I stare at your dog's rectum for 30 minutes, then snap my fingers twice and spin in a circle I will know whether or not they are full. 🙄

Then the last lady claims that she used to "work in a vet clinic" and then she starts complaining about prices and how vets are money hungry and overcharging her (We were already letting her decline phenobarb bloodwork because she could not afford it, the dog also looked as though it could have a possible thyroid problem or diabetes). Then she asks me if I "Have a bullet with the dog's name on it." And when I say no and continue on with checking out the dog she asks if I own a gun. WTF??? NO!!! I am not killing your dog because you were too stupid to realize that owning pets is a RESPONSIBILITY and not a PRIVILEGE, they cost money, they have health issues, they need to be fed and cared for. They are not accessories! Take the responsibility to be prepared to AFFORD a pet before getting one; you SHOULD know this if you worked in a vet clinic for any substantial amount of time.
 
Oh....And I almost forgot about the idiot who brought his dog in because it sliced open the pad of its foot. We had bandaged it, gave them antibiotics, and then told them to come back in a few days to have the bandaged replaced. The owner came back TWO WEEKS later with a makeshift bandage that the owner had duct taped on to its leg. 😡 Luckily he brought it in only a few days after he did that and the leg was still ok...sticky but ok. We rebandaged it and then told the guy that the dog will need to have repeated bandage changes with us until the wound has healed enough to leave them off. We explained why putting duct tape on is a very bad idea and this guy is an *******. He says, "If I can deal with having some random tape and a little gauze on my wounds, then he can handle some duct tape on his leg it is not going to hurt him; I am not going to keep bringing him in to you guys so you can keep charging me for bandages." :scared:😡 FINE!! Just come back when he needs his leg AMPUTATED then. Then, you really will have a reason to complain about prices because instead of spending $15 for each bandage you will get to spend around $1500-$2000 to save his life because you were too cheap to begin with!

... people can be such idiots. 😡
we had a person who brought in her 8 year old min poodle (obese, but otherwise no major health issues) to be euthanized. she claimed it was because the dog was covered in sores. Um, one tiny hot spot... drs refused to euth of course and we just gave a steroid injection. The owner came back to use the bathroom and on the way, stopped by to talk to the dog in our treatment room - spent a ridiculous amount of time cooing at the dog about how yay, they were going to go home and play and go swimming and complete goo goo gaga at the dog for the longest time until we made her leave. At that point, we hoping that maybe she was just clueless and thought the hotspot was a huge health concern and was excited to find out it wasn't... but nope, can't even expect that. Found out a week later that she had taken the dog to another clinic to be euthanized, but they refused as well. Poor dog. had to go home with a mommy who didn't even want her around. Don't know what happened after that. I hate convenience euths and the people who want them, they should be on a list where they can never own animals again and all vets are warned against them.

I'd like to be an optimist, but in most cases, we dont want to know what happens to that dog after someone refuses to euth.
I'd rather euth and do it right than have the owner try to take matters into their own hands. I've seen that plan go wrong many, many times. People are stupid, and half of them can't even place a bullet well.
Or, they think FiFi the Princess will be just fine hunting in the woods by herself. Or "free to a good home" on craigslist, because we all know how well those situations can turn out.

Or heck, if a vet doesnt want to euth, give the owner the option of surrendering. That makes me 🙂 because then things are good. The owner was willing to pay for the euth/disposal-- take that money, use it for food/vaccines/boarding until a good home can be found.

/end rant, that was not directed at thedogisgreen, but to all the stupid people in the world

Oh, I completely agree. What pissed me off about this situation is that the owner wanted a convenience euth, then acted happy to take the dog home and like she wasn't going to euthanize after we explained the situation to her (and all wanted her euthanized instead!!!).. and then she went elsewhere to get a different answer. If she kept to her original plan to euthanize, I would be all for surrendering, but she didn't even leave that as an option for us because she acted like she was going to keep the dog.
 
I too would like to briefly comment on the irresponsibility of pet owners. Though you all get the shortened version, as I am to leave in 5 minutes to head into the vet for a lovely Saturday morning shift (such dedication).
Anyway... the other night we had a dog come in completely drenched in blood. It looked as if you took the dog and hung it by its back legs and dipped it into red dye. Being a small animal hospital, not open 24/7, we do not see too many "emergency" cases like this one. This owner had never been here before either. She too was covered in blood. The dog, a pit bull of course (as if they don't get a bad enough rep). She, "Gracie" had gotten into a fight with another dog (I think the other dog belonged to the owner). The owner had NO money to treat the dog. The dog's ear was split down the middle, lacerations and abrasions all over its head. We cleaned her up (to make her look less like something from a horror movie) and treated her as best we could for free. I got on the phone to shelters and things like that in the area to see if they helped out people who had no money. Turns out they don't only if the critter came from them. I am panicked thinking this dog is going to be put down if I can't figure out the solution, so naturally I am frantically calling once the dog was settled in a crate, watching me intently. It really pulled at my heart strings so to speak. Then I heard from another tech that the owner's father came in and was wondering what the big deal was, seeing as they could just wash it with water and it would heal on its on. Sure, possible, but the possibility of infection and other complications was also extremely high. I hate ignorant people who own pet(s) and do not have the funds to support them. I asked the doctor how much the surgery would cost, and it was more than I was willing to pay for (yes I considered saving this dog). But as a future vet, I guess it is true, you can't save them all... but it just aggravates me more than anything knowing that such people exist in the world... treating animals as mere possessions. Whoops I am late for work. Worst part is, they will probably never come back and I will never know if that dog will be okay...
 
Not many people seem to understand you need to have SAVINGS in order to have a pet, so if they get hurt you can help them. It makes me wonder how they care for their children, too. My pets are so dear to me, I'd do ANYTHING for them, and there are always people who come into our office with YEAR+ year old dogs who've never been even vaccinated and are only there for an emergency of some sort.
The veterinary world is definitely not for the faint of heart, I work at a tiny small animal hospital in a low income area, and even the things we see are so terribly sad- I can't imagine working in emergency... even though that's what I am leaning towards I think hahaha!
These people yesterday came home to find their 10 week old puppy unable to even get up, and it was because they weren't feeding her enough and she'd crashed 100%... I was astonished...
 
While that's what makes veterinary medicine so heartbreaking, it's also part of what makes it so wonderful. As a DVM you're in the best possible position to influence people and try to make positive changes. A lot of these people are just ignorant, some through no fault of their own. And while it's unacceptable, because an innocent animal has to suffer at their hands, there ARE many people out there willing to learn if you take the right approach. That's why customer service and client communication are such important skills to master.

Whenever you see something like what you're describing and get discouraged, keep pushing on and think of the strides you'll be able to help make once you're a vet. The animals need us, but the owners who care for them day to day should be their biggest advocates, and we can help many people to see that.
 
To my friend:

Yes, I UNDERSTAND you just got your first boyfriend. HOWEVER. I DO NOT CARE HOW LONG YOU MADE OUT, or WHERE. Or how many hickies you have.

Pleasseeeee stop telling me. I do not want to hear about what happens when you get your ears nibbled on. :scared:

Yes, I will admit, I am jealous. It is not in my moral boundaries/personality to make out with someone for six hours on the first date. Congratulations for your boundaries. I will also admit I am horribly shy. Took me six months to kiss my boyfriend on the mouth. Far, far longer than that for a "deeper" kiss. Congratulations for lacking any sort of my inhibitions.

...however, please stop telling me about them. x_x 😡
 
I kind of feel like I'm being discriminated against because I don't live in the city where my university is. Everyone I know lives with their mommy and daddy and drives to school every day. I go back to my hometown on breaks and I rely on the bus to get me to school and back.

Anyway. On to the rant.

I just started volunteering with Girl Guides this year. Our first meeting is Wednesday night from 7-8:30. I received a call last Wednesday and I confirmed that I'll be going. I'll get to meet the girls and their parents for the first time.

Yesterday I received an email from one of my profs. There is an honours meeting Wednesday night from 7:30-9:30. All the other honours students knew about it two weeks ago because they were here and got to talk to the prof. I was at home, enjoying my last two weeks of summer. Did anyone tell me? No. Did anyone send me an email? No. I just get this stupid reminder email YESTERDAY.

I had made arrangements to go to half of my Guide meeting and half of the honours presentation... and spend $10 for a cab to get from the Guide meeting to the university. Problem solved! Not quite. Apparently the meeting is not at the university. It's at a professor's house about 45 minutes away. So getting a cab there is no longer an option.

So it's either one or the other. I hate going back on my word. If I back out of the first meeting of the year, it's making a bad impression. If I don't go to the honours presentation, then all of the biology profs are going to hate me.

😡

This sucks.

It looks like I'm going to the biology meeting and give a stupid 10 minute talk on my honours... I wish I had more time to prepare for it so I don't go up there, forget what I'm going to say, and end up looking like a doofus.

My honours supervisor was less than helpful. All he said was "That's what happens when you take on too much." OMG, I TOOK ON ONE ACTIVITIY. IT'S EVERY WEDNESDAY. THATS IT. Any other evening is FINE. I need ONE night a week where I get to do something I love and be social with people! I have no social life. My boyfriend is gone. The other activity I was involved in doesn't exist anymore. If I don't do this, I'll get depressed and I'll have to seek counselling. It's happened before... and I really don't want it to happen again.

This is one of the reasons I want to be a vet, actually.

I remember when I was a tech at a busy SA hospital. Did the "puppy talk" for this sketchy guy with a cute yellow lab puppy, Maddie. Few weeks later he comes in and asks about cremation and stuff and we're like um, why? And he says that he left the puppy out on the deck in the middle of the summer with no shade and no water. Surprise! She was dead. The worst part was that a few weeks later, he's back with another yellow lab puppy named Maddie. He'd gotten another dog and just replaced the first he'd so irresponsibly let die. Sickening.

I bought a bag of Hershey's chocolate today. Big mistake. I ate about half the bag today. I told myself I can resume enjoying it once I finish my supplemental. It's sitting on the corner of my desk now and I swear it's driving me crazy.
....must..resist...don't..have..willpower...

at least it was you who ate it and not your dog!
 
Okay, so I feel like every time I post in this thread it's about my room mates, so I will make this short. I have to vent though, even if no one reads it, that's fine! lol

This guy who has moved in to replace the total beezy that used to live here is my worst nightmare. Honestly, I'd rather have ANYONE here but him. He slams doors (their bathroom door handle now is almost coming off) no matter WHAT time it is, (literally, 3AM he woke us all up coming inside and had no apologies.) he leaves his shoes all outside of his room cause he has this weird thing about pet hair on his carpet- which WHY he moved in when I have two dogs and a cat and my room mate has a dog, too, I have no idea. He locks his door, like we're gonna steal something? So shady! He works from home and he is SO LOUD on the phone you can hear him no matter where you are in the house. He told us he had a 9 to 5 job and traveled a lot... okay 9 to 5 at the house where you make deliveries like 3 times a day to doctors offices is not quite what we pictured when you said that, sir.

He is 36 years old and goes out to bars every night like he's in college and then, in the morning while you're trying to get out the door to WORK or SCHOOL or your LIFE he feels the need to tell you about how hung over he is and how much he drank. I have had a double transplant and feel like I'm hung over every day from my meds, spare me the details about how you brought it on yourself. kthanks. He literally says the most random crap ever to you. We have no relationship at all, like, I don't even know anything about him, yet he pokes his head in my room and announces this afternoon his hang over is gone after his nap. I was like "... cool..." and then goes on this tangent about how he's going to be in a match.com commercial cause he met some guy at a bar who is going to hook it up for him. He's so enamored with the fact he lives in LA it's disgusting. (if he's on the commercial I will tell you all, lol so you can see what a weirdo he isssss...)

Then, he is like anal retentive clean. He leaves notes for me about how my dog food needs to go on a certain shelf in order not to contaminate his food (the dog food has a plastic lid and is probably better than whatever he is eating...) and the other day he took the liberty of moving ALL my dog things to my room because they were on the kitchen table and he doesn't want anything on the kitchen table because it will attract flies and looks messy. He hates my furniture, as does my other room mate, but if it weren't for me we would literally have a TV, a desk, and kitchen appliances, so they need to be appreciative that I let them use MY THINGS at all! He bleaches the sinks/shower/tub/laundry areas daily, like we are lepers or something. He wears gloves in our house when he does his cleaning. He's used ALL of the swifer sweeper pads (30 pads!!!) in two weeks (which those aren't good for the animals anyway, I don't like to use them more than a couple times a month.)

My great dane barks or growls at him every time she sees/hears him. She despises him, probably getting that from me, but still....:laugh:

OH! And the best part of all, we have lived here 8 months, me and the other room mate (who is usually a royal pain, too, but tolerable compared to him) and he's been here 3 weeks. He's changed EVERYTHING yet pays $400 less a month than I do and $200 less than she does. (I have my own bathroom and parking, but still dude, come on.)

He is... an idiot... I hate him. So much. so... so... much. *headdesk* every time I hear him come out of his room I squirm...

EDIT: so much for short.... 😉
 
I woke up this morning with a sore throat, and figured it was just from yelling a lot at soccer yesterday.

Then the coughing started...and my throat never stopped hurting.

Ditto. Mine started yesterday morning. The boyfriend has been sick for 2 weeks and I have been avoiding him like he's got the bubonic plague, because I REALLY DON'T HAVE TIME right now. So of course my Sunday morning starts with the sore throat and the sniffling and my entire head feeling like it's going to split open.

I am on so much medicine. My endo test should be AWESOME tomorrow.

It's going around, I have low fever every night, a cough, and a scratchy throat. It's a bummer 🙁
 
Walked Ella today, passed an apartment where a young dog was tied up to the bars of the balcony outside. No water, had been out there long enough to do some damage to the screen door. Contemplated climbing up to balcony and taking dog with me. Idiot people. Why the **** do you get a dog if you don't plan to take proper care of it? Just because an apartment is dog friendly does NOT mean that you should get a dog.

I emailed the community manager right away. Considering calling animal control. Angry.
