I miss Minnesota roads.

I love living here, love my job, excited for school this August... but hate Philly roads and Philly drivers. I love hopping on my bike and disappearing for a few hours, which is nearly impossible around here. 2 miles of stoplights. 5 miles of multi-use path. By then I'm so annoyed by aggressive drivers and oblivious joggers that my ride is mediocre at best. I want some empty country roads!!!

And snow. I will be very grumpy if we don't get at least a few feet of snow this winter. Or I will just go to Canada for December break.

100% agreed. I've been riding the schuylkill to the wissahickon and back. Probably 13-14 miles round trip from center city, but boy, is the boathouse row area annoying.
 
For everyone having a rough time....

Have someone take you out to New Bolton Center area. Empty country roads abound.

The best thing about Philadelphia has always been that it is easy to leave, and there are a lot of places close by.

1hr car or train ride to :
Big City: NYC
Beach : AC
Nations Capital: DC
Countryside: Lancaster etc.
Mountains: Poconos

So take advantage of Philly's advantage and LEAVE. :laugh:
 
I shouldn't be complaining because I at least have a job. And in a clinic no less. But it is really hard to get up and go to work at place where you feel like an outsider and not wanted there.

They're clearly just intimidated by your pure awesomeness.
 
I don't like driving. It makes me nervous. And I can't park. And I'm expected to get my license in the next few days and drive to work next week. :scared:

I agree, driving sucks. But it's better to be able to go where you want and not have to, say, bike to and from work in the rain. Good luck with getting your license! 👍

I guess so. Thanks. And the good thing is that there aren't many people out when I go to work in the morning, so that makes it easier..
 
Omg I could not imagine not driving. Though living in northern Nevada it makes it tough if you don't. Everything is so spread out. You'll be alright PP.

I'm not sure how I've made it without, to be honest. But we'll see. :laugh:
 
Touching that cat even with gloves if giving me the heebs lol. I called my mom and her and her doctors said MRSA isn't too terribly communicable between animals and humans but it's still making me widgy lol

I worked with SEVERAL baby monkeys that came down with MRSA. They were so freaking adorable and wanted to cling all over you and you walked away just feeling disgusting. I never did contract it though 🙂
 
I have a widening swath of hives making it's way up my left arm. Just the left arm. Even after a dose of Benadryl and copious amounts of steroid cream. What the hell. GO AWAY I HAVE THINGS TO DO.

:laugh: I got MRSA from the pigs I work with last year. One little nick in my knuckle and I was down for the count. Had to have it opened up, wet to dry packed and missed my finals week (which I had to make up while on pain meds and heavy antibiotics). I now wear gloves religiously!!!! I also give a lecture on MRSA to every new undergrad that walks through the door. Pig farms are notorious for housing MRSA though. Prisons and human hospitals are the only places worse (supposedly).
 
The bf cancelled all his horse shows and is planning to leave for Mexico in about 18 days. And wants to work that entire time. I can't even be upset right now because I'm so mad. He doesn't really think about anything but himself right now. I have no clue when I'll be able to see him again once he's gone.
 
Definitely messed up my back.. I don't know how...

But getting up from sitting hurts, bending over hurts, sitting back down hurts and walking hurts and creates shooting pains down both legs...

I am hoping I just slept weird and it will be gone tomorrow morning.. :xf:
 
😡 😡 :boom:

Little backstory here first. Roommate is a guy. I moved in with him to take over his wife's lease. They are getting a divorce, still legally married after months of both being too lazy to do paperwork! Roommate was 'seeing' this crazy lady(10 years older than him, mind you) for a few weeks last year. Decided she was bat **** crazy and stopped seeing her. She pesters him a LOT to come help paint, or bring her to work, or move something. Drives him insane, but he still goes and helps, and then I have to listen to him complain about it.

So, last week he tells me he is having dinner with her and then doesn't come home that night. I understand when you just have to get some, but come on! There were so many other better options! (I am not one of them, he's too negative, hates life, way too depressed and down on himself/others and downright gross. I'm going crazy just living with him! House is too cheap to justify moving though. I'm hoping he finds a job elsewhere and moves first)

And now, I find out she is spending the weekend living on our couch because she 'can't afford to drive back and forth to her job'. (she works here PT, lives 20 miles away) He didn't ask me, just told me. :wtf: :boom: I offered to give her $20 for gas, to keep her out of our house, but he said he already offered her that. I call :bullcrap:

My roommate and I have opposite schedules from her this weekend, so she will be in the house ALONE! I do not trust her. AND she will have to get up at the buttcrack of dawn, so I can't sit in my comfy chair in the living room listening to music when I get off of work at 2am. I have to hole up in my bedroom. Grrrrrrr.

AND she had the balls to just say she was bringing her dog. I put my foot down to THAT. No way! Especially, when she didn't even ask. Her dog is one of them yappy tiny dogs and my cat does not like dogs. My cat would beat the **** out of that little thing, and I don't want that fight in my house when we are not there.

And on top of that, our house is a disaster. Does he even think to help clean? NO. I, for one, do not like a dirty house when people come over. And she's suppose to be here in FOUR hours! 😡🙁

She has a 9(?) year old daughter, full custody I think, and a dog. Where are they staying while she is here?!

:bang: :annoyed:
 
I am in a FOUL mood. I was asked to work Fridays because the girls are swamped and they want to schedule knee sx releases. Okey dokey. Well the afternoon was "light" so they sent the other girl home and left me with a girl who's been here a few months and a girl that's been here NINE DAYS. The doctor has appointments, I have appointments, I have the sx release, rads to take, drop off pts to see to and the phones are blowing up. And the other girls are nice enough but they are so new and don't know what the hell they are doing. The xray machine is running hot, we don't have digital, so I have to retake some of the rads because they are too dark. I get yelled at by some of our clients because of our pricing, cuz you know, I'm in charge of that as the tech.One lady spazzing because we don't take cards at the vax clinic tomorrow. My freaky ass MRSA pt, declaw pt and euthanasias out the yin yang. And to top it all off I have a beardy staying overnight, I need to give her SQ fluids, SQ and IM meds and I have to force feed her. And everyone bails. Whatever.

O.M.G. What is wrong with people?!
 
And now I find out I missed the damned WW sign up because I was busting my ass. 😡

And also I'm really hungry but I'm waiting to make sure my beardy is ok before I leave. Sigh.
 
My grandma has officially entered in-home hospice care and has about 1-2 weeks left based on the nurses assessment 🙁 it's just not fair, and it just doesn't feel like enough time. There's so much left I wanted to share with her and ask her. I'm staying with them for the next few days and I hate to say it out loud, but I'm petrified of her dying while I'm there 🙁 I just don't think I'm ready for that.

Blah. Friday night blues 🙁

🙁 Katie I'm so sorry.
My grandmother died while I was away at school. Couldn't even get home for the funeral. I know it would be hard if she passes while you're there, but every moment is special now.
*hugs*
 
I appreciate all your kind words so so much. Losing someone is just so hard and she's been such a huge part of my life and I hate going through this. This is definitely a time where I really dislike being in a LDR, I just want my snuggle buddy 🙁

I'm sorry, Katie. I hope your remaining time with her is meaningful. I just lost my grandma two weeks ago so I know how much it sucks. Sorry 🙁
 
Grams are special. I'm sure she is so happy you are sharing her last moments with her. And not having your snuggle buddy is the worst. 🙁. Even when he is a big, sneaky wolf 😉
You will look back and cherish the time you spend the next few weeks. Soak it up. *Hugs*
 
Ahhh. I'm at work alone right now, came in early to check on my pt. And there is a creeper looking in through the windows!!! Like around the side of the building!!!! I don't see a car in the parking lot besides my own, and no animals in sight.........

Could you go pick up a drill out of the surgery suite and walk towards the window holding it with crazy eyes?

Parallel lives? I had to call the police this morning because there was a passed out homeless man wrapped up in a tarp in my clinics side yard. I thought he was dead, but he was just asleep...

Sent from my DROID RAZR using SDN Mobile
 
One morning we got to the clinic around 7am to open and there was a man passed out in his car in front of our door with a freakin gun on his lap. We didn't want to wake him up in case he freaked and pulled the gun on us, so we called the po-po. Scary arse shiz. He turned out to be completely hammered and fighting with his GF the night before 🙄.
Maybe he was really on bath salts...😉
 
We had a rather dirty homeless woman laying on the sidewalk in front of our clinic one morning. She was pressing her dirty feet up on our front door, legs spread wide open, shirt way up high so her belly was hanging out... We couldn't even get clients in, so we had to call the po-po to come make her move because she was just ignoring us... Then we had to clean the glass on the door... :barf:
