I've been watching my friend's kitten for the past few days. So far, she has chewed on my radio antenna, scratched my leather desk chair, picked fights with our other cats, woken me up both mornings by attacking my hands and feet, and has tried to make a hole in my mattress from the underside. Right now she is running around my room like a nut and I want to go to bed. Ugh, can't wait for her to go home Sunday..
 
So today just overall sucked…huge fight with the boyfriend this morning and today at work (work at a small shelter) had to help choose which cats we needed to PTS because we were completely full 🙁 some had medical issues, but others were just scared and needed more work. Also had to PTS a dog that was one of my favorites but she completely went downhill today. It’s never easy… 🙁

I hope you have a better day tomorrow!
 
Ugh, woke up with a swollen eye! My vision is all blurry and I can barely keep it open. Called the Doctor and they are closed until Monday. I have a ton of studying to do this weekend, but I don't think my eye is going to make that easy to do.

DVMD go see a doctor!!!!!

hope you feel better soon though.
 
I am so glad I decided to only work sat and sun this semester. I swear the upper management at the clinic I work at do not give one rats arse about its employees. We have lost 3 receptionists and 3 nurses over the course of the summer and they have only hired a new practice manager and one nurse who is not even training at our hospital so he won't be with us for another two weeks.. Today was freaking madness. I'm sick of being taken advantage of.
 
There's a street dance tonight, that only happens once a year. It's my favorite street dance(of like 6 around the area). Starts at 9pm. And I have to work 16 hours tomorrow starting at 6 am. 😡 Why couldn't it have been last weekend, or next weekend. 🙁 I really want to go, but I also really want to sleep. I should have seen if I could switch a shift with someone. Wasn't thinking. Boo.

Oh, there was bleach involved - I had my whole head bleached for quite a while. I just got tired of it.

Could you unquote my pic please? 🙂

Done! Sorry, didn't see this post until today 🙂

Needless to say, I love the color!!
 
I can't get myself to get out of bed for work. Have to leave in 20 minutes..
 
I had that problem this morning to. Got up 5 minutes ago, suppose to be at work in 2 minutes. 🙄 At least I don't have to do my hair or makeup for the barn. :laugh:
 
I have three hours fifteen minutes left of shift tonight. I have had less than four hours total between 11am Friday and now.

And I have to be awake again less than four hours after I get home this morning.

I. Hate. Graveyards. Not inherently because of the hours but because BOTH of the graveyard rotations here f up the weekend. You can either get completely screwed and work Weds -Saturday nights or Saturday -Tuesday and have to come in at 5pm on Sat.
So all those weekend commitments I have? Yeah, FML
 
I have carpel tunnel syndrome... (add it to my tab 🙄) and when I wear my brace at night it usually helps. Yeah, not today. I can barely move my wrist... typing with left hand only right now. Not sure why it got worse from wearing it, but I have a lot of stuff to do today and this is very limiting 😡
 
There is a very strong possibility that my cat might be gone in a couple of weeks.
 
Apparently whenever I leave Samson freaks out and won't stop barking until someone sits with him. If I bring him back to the shelter they'll definitely put him down.
 
Late rant, but still...

We admitted like 10 patients into our emergency service and ended up euthing 5 of them...most with respiratory issues and one with a large tumor in its abdomen. What's worse is that another 2 or 3 of those ten may be put down tonight and another one is for sure being put down tomorrow...So many patients dying in one night...UGH!

EDIT: a dog that came in earlier just got put down...sometimes I feel like my heart can't take it anymore...
 
My roommate really wants a dog. I don't think he's responsible enough for one. He wants to go look at one tomorrow that's still at a vet clinic because it has parvo. I don't think that's a good idea..

Well, if they cure the parvo at least you don't have to worry too much about the dog getting that again, but then you have to worry about that dog being around your dogs and if he is really irresponsible that could be bad. Can you just tell him no?

I hated those days where it seemed like everything died. I can remember having our treatment sheet (where we record controlled drugs for the day) one weekend filled out with nothing but fatal plus, it covered about 2 pages (6 lines per page).

I did. Last time the arguing worked. I'm still working on it now. Maybe it'll work for about two months again and I'll worried about it then again.

Oh, that's rough.

Those days are no fun, I agree.
 
Dear migraine,

No. Go the eff away. Nonononononono.

Sincerely,
Nope.
 
I have had the biggest headache for hours. Tried taking a nap earlier and it didn't help. Tried drinking more water and it didn't help. I really need to read more of my repro book but it's hard when it hurts this bad.
 
Surgery final in the morning that I dont feel ready for.
Took a study break to get caffeine. Pull into starbucks at 9:53. This starbucks is usually open until 11 pm. Before I can even get out of my car, the fat guy behind the counter sprints to the door and locks it. Sign on the door says hours are now until 10 pm. Either way- it wasn't quite closing time yet.

I want to cry. All I wanted was a latte 🙁 Now my only option is gas station coffee and the ulcer I'm developing does not appreciate that. Neither does my heart - regular coffee gives me heart palpitations/major tachycardia. Weirdly enough, espresso does not.

Lack of caffeine on an already crappy day is not good 🙁


ETA: The gas station's cappucino machine is down for cleaning. I usually mix it half and half with coffee so my heart doesnt pound its way out of my chest. This night is not going well.

cga cappuccino has espresso in it - why would you mix it half and half if you do better with espresso and worse with coffee? just drink the cappuccino...?

(i know it's moot in this case since it's down, but still...)

Sweetheart. Aspen. Open until 11pm.

And it's better than Starbucks, not that I really believe I can ever convince you of that! 😉

Well crap. I thought they closed at ten on Sundays. Does the one on 12th have different hours than the rest? I feel like Ive tried them before on Sundays and had no luck.

Really not a big fan based on yumminess factor of their lattes, but it would have suited just fine tonight.

During the school months, I think that the one on Main is the only one that closes at 10pm any day of the week.

Summer hours are shorter, though. Just FYI.

And I hope I'm not leading you astray, but I'm pretty sure the other two are open to 11pm daily... yeah. I would bet on it.

And try a mocha. Or go for something a bit different and try a chainana... they're pretty amazing.
 
#%$&#$^& My legs and feet huuuurt!!!! 🙁 OW Felt fine until I sat down 20 minutes ago. Just got up and HOBBLED to the kitchen. I miss the younger days where I could work double shifts and feel normal.

All of the gas stations I have been at have cappuccino that has been made with powder, not expresso. It has caffeine in it, but not as much as coffee does.

I guess that explains why I fall asleep in class after a medium cappuccino and not after a small coffee.

I hate Tim Horton's coffee. Before they got lattes, I would usually get a cafe mocha (half hot chocolate, half coffee). It would keep me awake too. 😛

I would call the manager and make a complaint. In all of my 4 years working fast food, we never closed the doors early.
 
What's wrong with tea?? I choose tea or coffee any day! 🙂
 
The drink, cappuccino, is an espresso drink. Yes, it is often crap quality and tastes like sugar crap from a gas station, but that is what cappuccino is. The only difference between latte and cappuccino is that there is more foamed milk in a cappuccino vs a latte, where it is mostly steamed milk. So the cappuccino comes out "creamier."

Also a caffe mocha is supposed to be half espresso, not coffee.

cowgirl you should get a low-midrange espresso machine for at home. It really isn't that bad to make in a pinch and is good for those times you need the fix and those aholes at Starbucks are closed.

I'm actually selling my Krups. 😀

Like $30 - it's still $100 on amazon. But CGA is prolly just fine with her Keurig. Sometimes you just want fancy coffee made for you.
 
I realized what a real cafe mocha was once I moved to a city that actually had cafes, not 4 of the same donut chain.

Tim Hortons and Robin's Donuts use half hot chocolate, half coffee, stick some whipped cream on top and call it a cafe mocha.

Now Tim's also offers "mocha lattes" which are real cafe mochas with expresso. And they are darn good. Especially the iced ones.

I actually have an espresso maker in the back of a cabinet. But yeah, it's a nice study break to leave the textbook and have someone make the yumminess for me. Its faster to drive to a coffee shop than it is to dig out the machine, find everything I need, get it running, etc.
 
I've been in my bed for 14 hours. Haven't eaten in 15 and still do not have the energy to get up and go to kitchen.

I know you all don't care about my night shift and are prob jealous of 14 hr but this is not restful it's exhaustion.

🙁

Use the time to your advantage to get rid of the exhuastion. Just think you don't have too much longer at your current job and then you will be in vet school! 🙂
 
Have had annoying, nagging lower right abdomen pain since last night. GO AWAY!

GET OUT OF BED! Staying in bed too long will make you feel more sluggish and gross in the long run 😎
