And it got worse today. one of the other doctors had a room this morning while he was supposed to be doing sx and I was supposed to be seeing rooms. There was 1 pet dropped off and they wanted a second opinion on some x-rays. So, since I had nothing to do, I started looking up the rads and pulling up items the dog was due for. I had the tech go get the dog. As this was happening, one my patients walked in and wanted to drop off. Both pets were written on the board and my name was next to both of them. He asked me why I was seeing both drop-offs. I explained I had already started seeing this pet when the walk in came in and I am the primary provider. He went off on me about how I shouldn't be seeing both pets on the board and I should redistribute. I explained the situation again and he continued to raise his voice at me.

I'm pretty sure it's because I asked him to stop trying to take rooms during my hour yesterday - we have a computer system and doctors see different hours. Every time it was a case he wanted, he would put his name on it. I asked him to stop doing that during my hour. He told me the front desk told him it was a walk in so it was ok. Even when they were appointments. Front desk says they never said that.

At least he gave me the cold shoulder for the rest of the day. In addition to throwing his name on all his rooms right away (presumably so I wouldn't take them). Talk about passive aggression.

Jeez Dy. this doc sounds awful. Have you talked to your MD about this? Is there another hospital you can transfer to? I'm sorry your having to deal with this Prick.

I just transferred 7 months ago so not sure they will let me again.

this is the same guy that cut on my surgery the other day. However, I work with 2 vets and the other guy can be just as bad depending on his mood that day.

ETA: the MD knows about the cutting on my surgery and has not done anything. He apologized after the fact (2-3 days later) to the PM but hasn't said a word to me about it

That sucks. I know in my area there seems to be a lot of doctor shuffling between hospitals for whatever reason. We have an awesome MD/FD though. I hope your situation gets better.. This company is already a pain in the butt sometimes.. Working in a miserable situation coworker wise makes it even worse 🙁
 
I ordered a handmade rat hammock set for $38 on Etsy.
I put the hanging cube in tonight.
Guess what they chewed a hole in?

I really feel like the hospital environment that you work in jut brings out the worst in people. I'm sorry you have to put up with it. And it isn't fair that you've worked so hard to get to this point and there are people making your job miserable. If you want, I can keep you posted about anything I hear about around us. Not sure if you're contacted or not.
 
If I seem like a wretched female dog please put me in check but here it goes...


SOs parents have grown to be a major part of my life, his mother more so than his dad (he's kinda....idk...hard to get along with and I feel like he views me as an accessory to my SO) and we finally sat his mom down and told her about our move for school at the end of the year.

They're both pretty well off, divorced. Before the housing crash they owned several properties and their house appraised for over a mil. His mom currently lives very well, drives a high end car with a payment about as much as SO and I pay in rent every month.

SOs mom starts going on about how her and other family lived in the area we are moving and how wonderful that "care free college life" is. She told us to enjoy not having to work and have fun! I just...what? I told her we are going to both have to work to survive and we probably aren't going to be living like she and other family did...because of our budget. She seemed surprised and asked what sort of living we are looking at. I told her probably either a cheap house or a mobile home on land...but I'm not sure yet. She seemed very put off by that and went on to say how SOs cousin lived in a ****hole while he lived there and that she didn't like it. Well...um....I'm sorry?

That was then followed up with how her SO is going to get a bigger plane so they can visit us and maybe fly us back too. Just....what? They're both awesome people and her SO has worked hard for what he has but its just so far off the grid for me.

I am blown away by how far from reality they seem to be living. Like, she has no idea how broke we really are...?! Or what it is to compromise... and I can't help to think about all the money that was blown on property and lavish things (I recently found a price tag on a random basket we took with us when we moved out...$75...on A BASKET) and wonder why a pre paid college fund was never set up or anything like that for SO and his sibling. SO is having to take out student loans to live on because he doesn't qualify for financial aid because parents make too much....yet we are struggling.

I understand that when you come from money and have remained in it reality is hard to swallow. When SO and I moved out he had to swallow that pill but has adjusted nicely. His idea of being "broke" back then was having less than 1000 in checking....my idea is when you have to pay for gas in change you find around the house. Just the differences in how we were raised I guess. We both work very hard for what we have.

I just don't get it. I really enjoy his mothers company but that really blew me away.
 
Stupid people. It is the day before a major test, and our third test in a row. I'm at school so I can efficiently study. Why do people think study rooms are a good place to have a party? Don't bring your dog to school, especially if it barks at everything. There are also blinds between the study rooms on purpose. You're just being a jack hole to keep opening them yelling loudly "who is in there?"

Go home to have your loud study session. I thought we learned the importance of inside voices when we were in kindergarten...

Ugh. I hate with a fiery passion the people who go in study rooms and seemingly 'forget' that they're not alone in the building and that everyone around can hear all their damn noise.
 
MammaFox...you're definitely not a wretched female dog...it's more that your bf's parents are testament to alot of reasons why our country is in the huge financial crisis we're in so tightly. Whether it's through foreclosures, personal debt, educational debt, stock, investment market & real estate shocking realities or plain vanilla selfishness, some people put too much emphasis on personal material pleasures. On one hand, it's their money, they can do with it what they want. On the other hand, there are those who believe it's the responsibility of those who have $$ to support and educate their offspring before buying a Mercedes. People have been living high on the hog and beyond their means for several decades. Now we're seeing the result of that. I'm not saying parents should be responsible for funding their kids college and vet/grad school education in full, without any responsibility placed on the kid. However, the difference between buying a $75 basket, a $60,000 car, a $250,000 plane instead of funding ones kids education, is mindboggling. It's amazing how some ignorant people have emassed boatloads of cash. It's bf's mom's loss. Can't imagine how a wicker basket is even remotely satisfying as seeing a show of confidence and achievement in one's offspring.

Her SO has children as well, and he has always payed their way through private school and now college. As envious as I am, his kids are extremely appreciative and far from spoiled brats. They're awesome, well rounded kids. I just don't understand how she can sit around and watch how he does things and then not really do much to help her own. She's a great person but that's always been something that bothered me. As broke as my family is, they have always offered to help me when the could, even if it meant that my parents had to go without.

You're not alone in wondering why this woman has a disconnect where her kids benefit is concerned. Is she selfish? It appears she may be. 🙁 Most kids are actually appreciative of the schooling parents afford them; even moreso when its a tremendous sacrifice. My own parents have always put their kids first, too; especially for education and the associated expenses. Has her son ever approached her and asked for assistance. I know it's difficult, but maybe a light would go on and she would realize that she's being unreasonable for the sake of baubles, beads and knicknacks. :idea:The government doesn't give grant aid to kids for undergrad whose parents can afford to pay for college. That is reasonable...

I agree that it is reasonable for the government not to give grant money to those whose parents make a lot.....IF the parents contribute. Without their help, he is barely making enough to scrape even let alone pay tuition out of pocket. I don't know if he has ever asked his mom for help. But I distinctly remember when he wanted to go to college right out of high school his dad sort of went "well, how are YOU gonna pay for it?" and SO decided to work out of high school instead because he had no credit for loans and no way to pay for school. Nothing wrong with that...just sort of made me WTF?!

I honestly don't know if it bothers him as much as me, or if at all. I feel weird bringing it up because idk, I guess its not my buisiness.

Well the problem with this is that rich people generally get rich by finding ways to not spend the money they have if they can avoid it, so it'd seem like a lot of rich parents would just plain opt-out of contributing to their children's education or would find some way to do it under the table while still allowing their kids to reap the benefits of government grants that really SHOULD be going to kids whose parents flat out can't afford it.

Maybe I am really jaded about upper middle to upper class people because I grew up like you and am now in a place where people who claim to be "middle class" and kvetch about rich people are...well....pretty rich by my family's standards.

Yeah, I agree something like that would be difficult to regulate and do. Its just frustrating when his parent have the money, they just don't care to contribute. I feel like that's much worse than me knowing my parents would if they could...they just absolutely can't.

I just hate to know what she thinks of our current place (its very nice by my standards...nicest I've ever lived.) And our place we will have when we move. Things like this make me not want to invite her over.
 
Thanks to a random draw, my waste-disposal buddy is my least favorite coworker. The week we are assigned, we have to remove old samples from the fridge and take it to over to be stores. We also have to dispose of samples that are older than 3 months.

She is a militant ex-vegan who has no problem loudly announcing "All gum contains horse fat" but rambles on about how she wanted a Big Mac post recent appendectomy and got it.

She never smiles or looks you in the eye.

Whenever I am using the sink, she never says "Excuse me" when she needs to use it. She just butts right in and gets too close for comfort.

She slams chairs around me when they get in the way of her cart.

I made a joke about Crosby the other day to get in on a conversation and she said "That wasn't very nice." I said "Sorry, I meant it as sarcasm." and she bluntly states "It wasn't funny" making me look like an awkward chicken.

She is also dumb as rocks: "I had signed up for a personal trainer too. I felt she wasn't teaching me anything and then I bought a car and couldn't afford her. The stupid gym wouldn't let me quit the training. I even called corporate." (No ****. You signed a legal document and agreed to pay for X number of sessions over X amount of time)

It could be worse, but omg, she doesn't even acknowledge it when I attempt to be nice to her.

Our week is this week 🙁 and I have a lot of other work to do 🙁
 
And one of my tests at work is failing epically 🙁

I no longer have a probe that works after spending the last two hours trying to get my newest one to work and checking the broken ones in the box. I told the supervisor a few times over the past two weeks that mine is on the fritz. He is just now thinking of getting one today.

I settled for a probe that shuts off if you jiggle it too much, but both sets of quality controls are not working so maybe there is something wrong with the water I made up.

On top of this, my other tests are backed up and I don't have the time to mess with a broken probe and/or a failed test.

The attitude here seems to be "Just go with it". I knew I was going to be screwed today when my probe readings dropped and wouldn't come back up.

I worked with someone like this for almost a year. She would just say "MOVE" when she wanted to get in somewhere. Would throw her stuff all around and expect others to clean up after her...she was also extremely stupid. I honestly believe that the lack of common(or any) sense is just how they were raised. I also think it is just pure unhappiness on the other persons part, and a dash of terrible self esteem. Does yours obsessively diet and find herself in terrible relationships, always? I know its so so so frustrating to deal with, but try not to let it bother you. Also, dont make jokes around her if you can help it.

She has a weird diet haha.

She is my youngest coworker and one of the only ones who doesn't not have a degree, just a water quality course. She is very tomboyish, so maybe that is why she isn't very personable. I don't know.

I am trying to look on the bright side. It's hard some days haha!
 
my dog is having an awesome day.

so far she's torn open her favorite toy, eaten some deer poop, rolled in something stinky, and then taken in a nap in the stinky spot in the sun. 🙄

Sorry for the series of mini-rants.

Just found out that my personal trainer is likely leaving our gym because he is disrespected.

I really liked him. He was quirky and fun. Now we'll have to get used to a new trainer 🙁

It pisses me off too that we pay about $30 a piece per session and he makes only $15 from the two of us. We're also paying close to $2200 for our sessions plus 10% interest and he makes $13.50 an hour. I thought I had it bad.

On the plus side, if he goes out on his own, we'll be able to train with him this summer for cheaper. I was originally going to take a long break to save funds.

I hate what chains are capable of. We were originally going to go to the YMCA but there is zero parking. We opted for Good Life because of parking.

🙁

I sort of want to cry.

Hire him yourself as a Personal Trainer. He doesn't have to work at the gym to be allowed in to help you. :idea:

And I already mentioned that my coworker tried to get out of her contract. You can only get out of it if you have a medical excuse.

So I am roped into another 40 sessions.

Can't afford to just blow off the rest of my tab.

Urgh.
Apparently he was supposed to do 5 consults last week and only did 3. His manager threatened to take away his own personal training that he pays for as punishment for lying.

Who does that?!?!?

I know what it's like to be treated disrespectfully in the workplace 🙁 Stupid fast food restaurants.
 
I should not have stereotyped. Sterotyping is bad.

This is how I see things.

There is three types of people in the world:

The "Life Is Great" people: They are friendly and happy. Nothing can bring them down.
The "Sunshine Comes Out My Bum people: they basically think they are entitled to everything.
The "I Have a Stick Up My Bum" people: they are negative and sullen.

We can be any one of these at any point in our lives, sometimes even a combination.

Since I met this girl, she has an entitled attitude towards one thing we have in common (healthy eating and working out) and I really have to bite my tongue whenever we talk about it.

Other than that, she acts like she has a stick up her bum by slamming things around, not making eye contact, not using manners and not even trying to start or participate in conversations that are with people who are not named C or J. My other coworkers feel that way about her too.

I am still just hoping she is having a bad 3 months or something. She was actually quite nice at our Christmas staff party. The boyfriend and I talked to her for most of dinner. I donno what happened before that night and after that night. I donno if it's me or if it was the booze served with dinner.
