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.

Sometimes you just need to accept people for who they are and move on. It seems like you and this person are just very opposite people. She obviously communicates very differently than you, but you won't be able to change that. I'd say "just deal with it".

I am sick. Ear and sinus infection. I'm on steroids and antibiotics. I missed a test yesterday because I was so dizzy I couldn't drive.

But yet, the bf has the audacity to accuse me of going out all night last night when he was working an overnight shift...

I left for school this morning before he got home, and because the dogs were acting weird (working him for a second breakfast) and the bed appeared to have not been slept in last night? his first thought is I must have been out all night!

I don't know if he is just plain stupid (or stupid tired from working the overnight shift 3 days in a row) or if this is the start of crazy jealous accusations I know oh so well from previous relationships...

*thumbs up*

I know I need to care less what other people think. It's hard and I don't know why.

1st, I hope you feel better,
2nd, I really hope it's an isolated incident. That's such a crappy thing to have to deal with in relationships. Hope he's just having a moment. Feel better 😍

Pass/fail classes scare me more than graded ones. Graded ones I feel like I have 4 options, A,B,C, or fail. This is two... pass/ fail. So it feels more damning. Is anyone else pickin up what I'm puttin down? 😏

What classes are pass/fail for you??? I've been fortunate enough that the ones that have been pass/fail have been easy for me and based on attendance or take home exams.

It's just ethics. It's our only pass fail (that I know of). But you never know how detailed and tricky they're gonna get and that's what worries me. And this is only the second year they even required an exam. Before it was attendance based. And this is my favorite part... attendance was really low when attendance was required to pass the class, so they stopped making attendance mandatory, gave us an exam instead (with PPs posted online) and then got mad that attendance was down even further. Um..... duh?!

It's snowing, the interstate is closed, and my event that is tomorrow that I have been planning for 2 months will probably be cancelled because of it!!! GRRRRR! 😡 I'm drowning my woes in easy cheese...

[prevetdreamer]

Almost quit my job at a cafe today. Things have really gone downhill there since our manager had a baby and is on maternity leave and two supervisors moved away. We have a new manager who is just terrible and makes working there hell. He's been scheduling me way too much so now I am stressed and burnt out and have no patience to deal with anyone's shiz. I'm turning into an awful, rude, depressed person. I don't want to be that person. I only have to hang on until May 3rd but I don't even know if I can handle it until friday. I don't want to leave the rest of my coworkers hanging, but at the same time shouldn't I be most concerned about myself and my emotional well being? so torn...

 

[cloverbug]

It didn't happen today, but we had the sweetest, best behaved dog we've had in the longest time come into the clinic. She was bleeding from her vulva for a month, lethargic, and had not been spayed. I was worried she had pyometra and being 14, there was little we could do. An x-ray proved my fears right and was worse than I thought. It was the majority of her abdomen, and so we had to put this sweet girl down. It's hard to get attached and then have to say goodbye. I'm still kind of upset about it.

I was in a somewhat similar situation for a year and a half. The vet I worked for tore you down mentally and treated everyone like such crap. In the middle of march she thought it was appropriate to yell at me in front of a lobby full of clients and proceeded to tell me a monkey could do my job. I have never quit like I did that day. I put the clients in the room told my other techs I was leaving and left. Mentally I could not handle the abuse anymore. I lost 10lbs, my clothes don't fit, my cheeks were sunken in...basically looked like death. The day after quitting I woke up refreshed and felt like a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders! You need to do what is best for your well being! Your coworkers will understand and heck they may do the same thing.

Whoa. I think the doctor you were working for and the one I work for are related. I've never been yelled at, yet, but she certainly has her ways of making me and the other technician feel like idiots. Business has been kind of slow lately (we see mainly cats, so no duh) and I think the stress of bills and everything has put her on edge even more. I don't graduate until May, so the schedule I have at work is perfect for my classes...ugh and she lets me attend all the CE seminars and wet labs. I will probably be looking for a new job after graduation, though. Difficult decision, for sure. 🙁

 

[Bracco Pointer]

My dog looks and feels fantastic. She eats like a hog, has chubby fat lumps on her butt.... And of course the dingbat's creatinine is 6.0. Dog, why you so BROKEN? I was hoping she might have another year in her, but with values like that it's doubtful. I'm just glad I don't have school till August, so I can spend lots of time with her. I love this dog so darn much, and knowing she's going downhill kills me.

I hate that clover, why is it that some just melt your heart from the moment you meet them? I have patients I've known for years and it doesn't bug me when it's their time to pass. but a pug I hardly knew came in Monday HBC with fractured pelvis and no feeling in her back end and she just had this look in her eyes like "I'm not ready to die". She was only three. Sometimes this job sucks!

 

[InfiniteSatori]

Roommate complains to me about how busy and stressed she is about school. Her parents pay for her school/ rent/ food. She just received huge scholarship to pay for her entire next year (we graduate next year), she is planning a huge Europe trip in the summer and wonders why I can't afford it.

I go to school full time, work 20 hrs/wk, volunteer roughly 10 hrs/wk, pay for my rent, food, gas etc. Paying for/ have to take out loans for school. On top of that, I do all of the cleaning in our apartment.

She's one of my best friends, but she drives me crazy!

The worst was a cat that came in with a broke tail and a horrible infection that had to be at least a week old. The cat had disappeared and came back like that. We ended up euthanizing him because he was in such a bad state. The problem was he looked almost exactly like my cat, down to the brown patch on his chin and speckled feet. I had to try so hard not to cry when he was put to sleep.

 

[Trematode]

Sorry for another one.

I am getting written up at work. Nothing major, but the whole situation pissed me off. It was the perfect storm of events that made me screw up a client's sample.

We do presence/absence of coli forms in water. All you do is open the sample, add a pack of Colilert, add an anti-foaming agent, shake and incubate.

This was my first time doing it alone. I was the one staying late that day to deal with samples that come in after everyone goes home.

When I was trained, we were just working on a procedure for determining fecal coliforms in water.

Apparently we have a packages of Colilert that test specifically for fecal coliforms that come in an identical box (although smaller), that have the same colour powder and have the same colour print on the inner packaging. The name is slightly different, which I missed.

It was sitting there on the desk.

I added it to the first sample and it turned red (not yellowish). Damn.

Luckily a supervisor was also staying late so I immediately got her.

We looked around the room and the box of Colilert I needed was on the GD floor half under the desk.

So, no one told me about the new Colilert for fecal coliforms, put the box of stuff I needed under a desk and I was dumb enough to miss the different name on the inner packaging 🙁

The guy who usually does the micros is going to flip out. If he had stayed an extra 5 minutes, he would have caught the samples in time.

I hate PEI weather. April in Atlantic Canada isn't beach weather by any means but at least at home in NS they get the odd warm day. I'm sick and tired of bundling up every day.

Why do you feel like you can't cry? I think if that emotion comes to you, let it out. Honestly the owners I've known take it to heart, and it can really show how much you care about their pet. I'm not saying to be a blubbery mess but there are just those ones that affect you more than others. I don't cry very often but sometimes you just gotta let it out, just my opinion, I know it depends on your workplace too though.

I wasn't in the room when it happened and I had other clients to handle. Unfortunately, I just didn't have the time to cry.

Ugh, I really struggle mentally during the winter, so the thought that I am headed somewhere with even MORE winter than I'm used to is depressing. It's been sunny and 50+ degrees here for the past week and I'm just finally starting to feel okay again. 🙁

I'm gonna guess no. I'm a tomboy. I've met lots of personable tomboys.

Yeah, I agree. I'm a tomboy and I am overly nice sometimes lol.

I am really bummed. Not only did I bomb my bio test, but it means that I need to get a really realllllyyy good grade on the final in order to scrape a B.

I really thought I knew the material and felt really good when I handed in my test. I just dont know what happened. Its only Bio 1 for goodness sake. 😕

I dont know what I am going to do if I get a C. That's unacceptable. 🙁

Just do your best and try not to get too bothered by it; it'll work out.

 

[BulldogMS]

Ditto. Spent quite some time in undergrad and still do, unfortunately; dragging myself back up after bombing a test. Too often, it was stupid mistakes because i couldn't control my anxieties during the test.

 

[HorsesRLife]

Just found out work is switching my schedule. We work 4 days on 4 days off and are open both sat and sun. I have worked weekends for a month and the switch will keep me working weekends for another month... they are blaming switching my schedule on me because they are going to have to replace me when I go to vet school in august, but in reality it is because another girl that is head tech on my team is leaving in may when her husband graduates. I just keep telling myself only 4 more months, but I still have to work there on breaks 🙁 I wish money grew on trees... Not looking forward to working with the people on the other team either.

 

[MommaFox]

Thanks everyone. I guess I will just have to try and not stress over it until the final.

I guess on the bright side I did a lot better on a chem test last week than I thought I did. So strange how your confidence just screws around with you.

The thought of having a C in a prereq(especially bio 1) just makes my blood run cold.

 

[Trematode]

The Rehtaeh Parsons suicide is sweeping the Internet. It hurt me because I was bullied at her age and developed issues because of it. It hurt me because it happened near where I live. I just found out the mother is a volunteer with a group I am with. I just haven't met her since I started attending.

The whole thing sucks. Raped at 15, photos circulated the Internet and the guys get away with it all. The police failed. The schools failed. And someone felt like they had to end their life because of it.

I consider myself very lucky. I attempted to hurt myself at one point. I swallowed a bottle of Tylenol with the hope that someone would take me to a hospital so I could talk to someone who wasn't going to yell at me to "stop being negative". I was ignored by my peers and yelled at by my parents. All I wanted was for someone to listen.

It has been 10 years since the junior high bullies ruined turned me into an anxious, scared person. Slowly I have gotten better. Last time I went to the doctor though, I was told that my health problems may be caused by stress. And the fight I had with my ex-friend may not have happened if I didn't take every misguided statement as an insult.... or if I wasn't so anxious that I couldn't bear to speak to her in person like she had wanted. So, whether I like it or not, I am the way I am because a group of girls thought it would be fun to stalk me, insult me, touch me and threaten me while the schools turned a blind eye.

Have you seen a mental health professional? My situation is different than yours, but it was hard for me to accept that I needed help. My friend took me to the ER when I hadn't eaten for days. The doctor didn't really know what to do with me, so he called a social worker who drove an hour to come talk to me in the ER. She was very helpful, but couldn't do anything medically for me, other than set me up with school psychologist. The psychologist did wonders for me. If you want to talk about it, you can send me a PM, but I understand if you don't want to. Or you can send me a PM through our facebook group🙂

I had the same problem in biochem years ago. I got a D on the first exam, studied harder for the second and ended up with an even lower grade, and nearly broke down at that point. I smacked myself out of it, changed my study habits, and pulled off a low B for the third test. I then had to get a 95 on the final to scrape by with a B and thankfully I pulled it off. Sometimes you have to change how you study, not how much you do. Just stay focused and calm and I'm sure you'll kick that final's butt. If you need any assistance you're welcome to PM me. I haven't studied gen bio in a while, but I don't mind helping out if I can.

 

[Abnerrs]

Omg. I'm sure everyone remembers my ochem melt down last year...

 

[kernel]

C's in pre-reqs can feel devastating. I had two: one in o-chem I (worst. professor. ever. I swear 50% of the people in my class were retaking it. Part of my soul died from working so hard. Needless to say, everyone was doomed), and one in my first quarter of biology (I blame myself 100% for this one. I went into it feeling to cocky and got a swift kick in the hiney 😳).

Hang in there! There are plenty of us who have overcome more than one C, whether we got the grade even after trying incredibly hard, or if it was a something we knew we might have been able to avoid 🙂

cloverbug makes a really important point here!

 

[Jamr0ckin]

I had to take Physics ll three times, because I got a D the first two times. Part of it was medical, part of it was the professor, part of it was me just not caring. When I took it for the third time, I got a B+. But I had a great teacher, my medical issues were resolved and I really cared about doing well.

I withdrew from a record of like 12 classes. Attempted biochem twice, as well as orgo -ll. I had multiple Cs. I'm in vet school. It's possible. 🙂

I really feel like this is awesome advice. I used to be a quiet studier and do so FOR HOURS. in college I've started studying out loud...aka talking to myself like a crazy person...
"0.3 to 1.9 is POLAR!"

 

[Trematode]

Where do you guys go to school? I usually had 1-2 midterms in my sciences classes and a final, never several tests throughout the semester haha

 

[cloverbug]

Talking out loud and explaining things to myself have been really helpful to me too. For ochem, I had to write everything out over and over again until I could do it without glancing at my notes. Sometimes I even make up little stories to help me remember complicated things like the flow of blood through our bodies. Just don't give up hope that you can do well in this class, just find your weaknesses from the last test and adjust accordingly.

 

[503372]

I have no idea what to do. I'm enrolled in a graduate online course (took it for interest purposes, not for credit) and I had a review paper due yesterday. I've been trying to get in touch with the class professors for two weeks with no luck to get my topic approved. I chose a topic, but I don't know if it is approved. I've done hours of research and have written 16 pages on the subject. I'm very worried that I wrote it on the wrong subject, but I've had no feedback so I can't tell. I'm kicking myself for not contacting them a month in advanced.

 

[Coquette22]

Nerve blocks. 👎 (That is, trying to learn them. By Monday. Ugh.)

 

[Trilt]

A frog (toad?) landed on my foot while running and nearly gave me a heart attack. That's okay, but I instinctively kicked him away and sent him flying into some nearby spiny bramble bushes and I hope he was okay. This day is just bizarre. #stupidguilt?

 

[MommaFox]

I'm in FL. We have 3 tests throughout the semester and that's all we get grades on. No quizzes or homework. The final test counts as a final. Its only like that for me in Bio though.

I *finally* went in to get a sonogram today to shed some light on the medical issues I've been experiencing lately. ...It was pretty inconclusive, at least, according to the sonographer (she said she thought things appeared normal). I know that I shouldn't jump to conclusions before my LNP looks at the results, but I'm still pretty disappointed. I had been so sure that I knew what was causing my symptoms...

Basically, if they can't give me any answers from this, I have to wait another two weeks to go see a specialist. And who knows whether we'll get to an answer at that point.

😡 Grrr. I'm so tired of being in pain/being inconvenienced by my body doing strange things.

I'm sorry your body is being stupid, and I totally understand the frustration of not knowing what your body is doing, but don't let it get to you too much. I had a similar problem in high school when I was vomiting for no reason for hours and passed out every time I stood up. I saw the doctor three times and even did a barium ultrasound thingy and they couldn't find anything wrong. I finally just searched online for anything that seemed close to what was going on and found out I had cyclic vomiting syndrome. It sucks because there's nothing I can do to help it or treat it and it's nearly impossible to diagnose because it has no physical signs on exam, but it was a relief to know I wasn't crazy either. I hope they give you some answers soon and I really hope you feel better! I'm sending love your way.

Thanks for the sympathies and love, cloverbug. I recently read an AMA on Reddit about someone with cyclic vomiting syndrome--it certainly sounds super unpleasant and frustrating 🙁, I hope you are managing it well enough. *hugs*

*hugs* Yea, definitely not a fun time but I've figured out the beginning stages of it and as long as I cool myself down right then and there I can usually avoid an episode. It's hard having heat be a trigger and live in Arizona though. I can't wait to leave this state. Best advice is just to try to stay positive even when you feel like crap. It won't always be this way.
