Why is it that I always think of awesome things I should have said AFTER an interview is over? Lol. I will contend to just assume that I didn't get the job until I get my answer Monday. Waiting sucks!

Kind of like when you leave an exam and then remember an AWESOME answer for one of the questions :laugh: Hope you get the job! :xf:
 
Watched my boyfriend struggle again today to make payments on his 70k undergrad student loans.... Then panicked. What the heck am I getting myself into? 🙁 I calculated my loans with interest to amount to 332,000 after four years.... Hello lifetime of Ramen dinners 😕 😕
 
Startng to really hate my job. 🙁
I've talked about it numerous times with my supervisor, but nothing gets changed. I really want to leave now, but there -is notging else in the area that pays well enough to pay my bills and work around a school schedule.
 
Finally found out what the bad news was. Bf's ex found out she either has MS or brain cancer. Weekend definitely ruined.

So much for trying to get out from under this girl's shadow . . . can't exactly tell my boyfriend that he needs to have less contact with her when he's worried about her dying. 🙁

And who the hell tells their best friend something like this over Facebook message?!

Ugh. That's awful. I'm so sorry. It's a weird situation because you're justified in feeling the way you do....but a brain tumor?!

Ugh. Definitely not the bad news I was expecting you two to hear. I don't even know what to tell you to help you out with this one. Hope you can find something fun to do this weekend, even if it's just something small.

I'm sorry, that's definitely not good news. Hopefully this doesn't put too much strain on your relationship with your bf (maybe the ex was trying to keep some emotional distance by giving the news by text instead of phone? Still crummy of her to make you wait to hear the news like that, no matter what her reasons). And hopefully she gets a definitive answer soon, so she can start treatment!
 
**** BD I don't even know what to say. Except that, I think that even if it sounds mean, I would at some point sit him down say "I know you care about her, and you are such good friend. But I can't come second" though I tend to talk things to death in relationship.

I hope things work out well for you. Feel better. 🙁

Hmmm. That really depends on where you are in the relationship and how close he is with the other person.

Too soon, and you are gonna just get dumped saying that.

Long time friend in need >>>>> disposalbe GF being temporarily inconvenienced.. The long the relationship, the more that inequality lessens and eventually switches to the other side (perhaps)

I don't care where I'm at. I don't come second. Baring of course kids.


I guess see where you're saying a long term friend etc. But you get to a tipping point.

Yeah, the difference IMO is that she's an ex that he's had on a pedestal. Not just a long time friend.
I don't deal with that crap so I don't have much advice. I would have been gone long ago.
BUT, it can't hurt to be supportive and help him through this and maybe he will see you in a different light and put you up on the pedestal instead.

Agreed. But I'd have to be in lone with him to make through the situation myself
 
Thanks, guys. I really don't know what to do right now.

I figured out pretty early on in our relationship (we've been together almost 1.5 years now) that his best friend was also his ex, but I never thought it would be an issue. She lives 3,000 miles away, their relationship was ten years ago (when they were both in high school), and they haven't seen each other in person for almost three years now. They're best friends by default more than anything else. I really didn't think it would be a problem since they're so far apart. Live and learn, I guess.

My biggest fear right now is that it's going to turn out to be something really really bad and either she'll ask him to come visit or he'll decide that he needs to go see her. Because I absolutely do NOT trust the two of them together AT ALL. There's no way in hell I could sit idly by and just let him run off to be with her. But then I would be the world's biggest witch for saying "No, you can't go visit your terminally ill best friend." If it ever came to that, I know he'd choose her. Reluctantly maybe, but it would still be her. 🙁

I guess the only thing I can do right now is wait and see what happens. If the opportunity arises and I can do it without sounding ridiculously insensitive, I'm going to tell him that I'm worried about being pushed aside. At least then he'll know how I feel, even if it doesn't change anything. Not much else I can do at this point. 🙁

Holy crap, kudos to you for being as strong as you are. Could you sit down and say something like "I understand that she means a lot to you, and I want to help you through this, but you also have to consider my feelings as well, and how awkward of a scenario this is. I want to be there for you, but I also want to be a priority." ??? i feel like I could've said that more eloquently, but perhaps you'll get my gist.

Sounds like a reasonable plan. You can't impose what you want on someone else (at least not without poor results often times), but you can share your feelings and hope they accommodate that. No guarantee of that unfortunately, but it's better than leaving them in the dark.

Sounds like you're stuck in a tight spot Blackdog, hoping for the best for ya.

Why don't you trust him? Have you ever met the best friend or seen them interact in the flesh?

2 of my 3 best friends are guys. One I dated for 8 months in highschool, around 8 years ago. We are extremely close - we share everything. But for us, the fact we dated once a VERY LONG TIME AGO is irrelevent. We used to live 3000km apart until my 2 best guy friends moved to the same city that I moved to vet school for. My SO, who I had been with for 1.5 years at the time, was really apprehensive about him moving here - he doesn't really have friends of the opposite gender, let alone close ones, let alone exes. But he was a good sport and gave it a go - because he knew my besties are not negotiable.

They are now best friends. Sometimes I think they like each other more than either like me!!! 😛

Sometimes in life I just think you have to accept that sometimes your feelings DO mean less than someone elses. I think it would be genuinely horrible if you told him he could not go see his best friend and potentially say goodbye for good because you feel insecure. For me, a best friend dying does mean more than a problem in a relationship, especially one only 1.5 years old. And if your going to make a big deal about me wanting to spend time with a dying friend, your not going to be around much longer than that 1.5 years.

In fact, I don't think you should even say something to him about your insecurities if he does go. Unless he's cheated on you in the past, thats your problem, not his, and this is a hard enough time for him as it is. I do think you need to suck it up and deal with that on your own, as harsh as that sounds.

So he shouldn't see his potentially dying ex-girlfriend who is his best friend because of your own personal insecurities? That is selfish as ****. Its not "coming second" its compromising - which is extremely important in relationships to me. No-one can come first all the time.

Never once did I say he can't visit her. Did I? I could just see it becoming a long term problem where the SO is always on the back burner. One of my best friends is actually my ex husband. But like I said in a later post, there comes a tipping point where SO becomes more important. OF COURSE I'd be there for him in the event of something like this, but not to the detriment of my relationship (barring that it's not new or whatever). This response was stemming from the fact that BD has felt like she was living in this girl's shadow for a year and a half! Is it selfish? Maybe. Do I care? No.

Yeah, sorry, I read back through the thread and realised that other things i replied to was clouding what I was replying to in your post. Does that make sense? I'm really tired lol.

I still stand by the fact that I don't think you can come first all the time, and that security and flexibility is what keeps long term relationships going. Sometimes other stuff is going to be really important and your relationship has to go on the backburner, or atleast be low maintanence, something thats there that you don't have to worry about. Does this make sense? It doesnt mean its not important or its not the number one thing most of the time. I don't really know how to say what im trying to say lol.

I totally understand BD feels this girl is on a pedestal and that she is in her shadow. But is that genuinely an issue the boyfriend has created or is it an issue of BD's? Is it a "meet me halfway" issue? Either way I don't feel that right now is a particularly sensitive time to try and solve it, given its been an issue the whole relationship.
 
Blackdog I really hope it doesn't come off as trying to attack you, its really not my intention, I'm trying to offer a different perspective. I personally hope that the ex is actually an attention seeking b**** who is doing this just to try and drive a wedge between you guys 😳 Good luck with the suituation though
 
Been on clinics for a month now. First rotation was great. I learned a lot, I enjoyed my time, the staff were helpful and friendly. Second rotation was ok and then awful. For the most part, the doctors were rude, mean, or had no interest in teaching. Some of them were good, but unfortunately they were the ones that weren't there often. My next rotation, which starts tomorrow, has a doctor on it that apparently makes everyone cry.

I was so excited about clinics because I feel like the actual practice of veterinary medicine is what I'd be good at since I was a tech for so long and had so many vets tell me that I'll make a great one or their excited to have me as their peer. Instead, right now I kind of hate them. All it seems I'll be doing is being scolded, talked down to, and writing paperwork for the next 6 months.

Why do these doctors think it's ok to treat people this way. Honestly, since it's a school and all referrals or emergencies basically, I guess it doesn't matter if every client thinks you're an arrogant ass because you don't rely on their repeat business for your well being.

Rant over....for now

I realize this is a hypothetical situation but if it does come down to him going to visit her why not go with? You can meet his supposed best friend if you hadn't already, show some support for your SO, and remain in the picture in case he thinks of trying any funny business. Of course there's the whole "if he wants to do funny business do you really want him?" question but that's another kettle of fish...

I totally get what your saying too. About other things being bigger and needing more attention sometimes.

I wouldn't blame him in the slightest for wanting to go see her. And I wouldn't blame him for choosing her over me in that situation. It's what I would do if the roles were reversed. But I wouldn't be able to stay with him if he did go. There's just too much history there, and too many unresolved emotions from their previous relationship for me to be comfortable with it. Especially if it was a "this could be the last time we ever see each other" type of thing. No way.

I did think of that, but I feel like that would be really weird. I mean, if this girl really is that seriously ill, would she want some total stranger tagging along while she's trying to visit with her best friend? I certainly wouldn't, if I were her. And that's assuming that this happened before I go off to vet school and all.

Anyway, this is all completely hypothetical at this point. She doesn't even have a real diagnosis yet. So maybe I'm just stressing over nothing. So far things have been okay - bf seemed a little distracted and distant earlier this weekend, but that's to be expected. Otherwise nothing has changed. Hopefully I'm just overreacting. :xf:

Wow, I did not mean for my personal problems to completely take over the rant thread . . . sorry guys. 😳

I guess I was thinking maybe you two get a hotel and you come visit once and then they can have some hanging out private time while you wander the city? I guess it all depends on where she's at and of course all the other factors (since this is purely hypothetical).

My rant: Why do people post ads on Craigslist and then not respond to people who contact them? Or why do they say they accept pets on a case-by-case basis when really they mean they only accept small pets under 25#? I leave the country in less than 3 weeks and I would really like to know I have someplace to live when I get back! URG!
 
I am so embarrassed. I almost fainted today at the raptor rehab place where I volunteer, in front of the manager and the newer volunteer I'm helping train. They were both really nice about it and told me it was no big deal but I'm just so embarrassed. Especially because I know exactly why it happened: I was dehydrated. That was it. I drank a bunch of water and then felt fine. I feel like an idiot. I was doing moderately physically demanding work around moderately dangerous animals outside in 90 degree weather with very low humidity, often in the sun, wearing heavy work clothes, for three and a half hours. And I didn't drink lots of water? Why am I so stupid sometimes?👎

I haven't read everything on the page yet so I don't know if someone suggested this already, but why couldn't you go with him if he went to visit her? That way he can visit his terminally ill friend while you can keep an eye on them since you have those trust issues. It'll also help you better understand their dynamic together and maybe show you that you have nothing to worry about, and you'll seem like a very caring person for going to help her out too. I'd say that's a win/win for everyone.

ETA: Nevermind I saw your response. I think if you go and help occasionally it shouldn't be too awkward. You've been dating him for almost 2 years, she should know who you are by now so the only awkward part would be their feelings for each other.

Today has been sucky. My throat has been sore and swollen to the point that it seriously hurts to talk while being at work where I have to talk all day, but my day started with trying to find 5 charts my coworker never pulled and then another one was 20 minutes late so I had to do his work and mine. I then got into an argument with my fiance during my lunch break about his inability to communicate when he's in a bad mood to me and that being ignored for no reason is dumb and extremely annoying. After that I found out one of my favorite patients passed away, which was proceeded by me accidentally hitting a dog's head on the exam table while picking him up. Now I feel like an absolutely horrible person. Yay Mondays...
 
...I just noticed that this thread has almost twice as many replies as the rave thread. We're a depressing lot, aren't we? :lame:

My minor rant. Last minute walk in appointments annoy me sometimes. When you've been at the clinic for 11 hours and someone shows up 10 minutes before closing and it ends up making you stay an hour past closing...just wanted to go home and sleep
 
So.... Burnt out. Literally came home today and just cried. Ughhh.🙁

Rant:

UGH THE OFFICE MANAGER AT WORK!! Everyone there has noticed she has completely changed and is just hateful towards everyone now. We aren't sure what is going on. I wrote for the July schedule that my last day was to be off on July 12. Before I knew that (since I had no idea I'd be leaving so early due to getting into Mizzou) I had taken off July 13 and July 16-22 (for Comic Con, yeah!! I had taken that off almost a year ago). That only left Monday July 15 that I did not have taken off, even though I clearly said my last day was to be Friday the 12th... and you know what she did, SHE SCHEDULES ME!!! UGH.

They are short staffed that day, I get it, but I've worked plenty of short staffed days for other people. I don't really take any days off much except for in the summer usually just for a week. So then she is just yelling at me for something that is not my fault. You can't blame me if you couldn't read the schedule right, that is not my fault. She goes on about more BS about it in front of everyone, which, I personally don't mind since I'll be leaving and my co-workers now feel all the same way about her.

I am so glad I'm getting out of that place in less than a month. I cannot take my office manager anymore... no one really can stand to be around her. I also did start my week vacation today (leaving tomorrow to visit my friends, yay!!) So glad to be out of there for a week.

UGH THE OFFICE MANAGER AT WORK!! Everyone there has noticed she has completely changed and is just hateful towards everyone now. We aren't sure what is going on. I wrote for the July schedule that my last day was to be off on July 12. Before I knew that (since I had no idea I'd be leaving so early due to getting into Mizzou) I had taken off July 13 and July 16-22 (for Comic Con, yeah!! I had taken that off almost a year ago). That only left Monday July 15 that I did not have taken off, even though I clearly said my last day was to be Friday the 12th... and you know what she did, SHE SCHEDULES ME!!! UGH.

Thanks KP. I already told her I am NOT working that day and all my co-workers will back me up. They all saw that I wrote on there the 12th is my last day and it is going to be. She is just going to have to deal with it. :meanie:

A mini-rant:

I have been looking for a flat to move into at the end of July. I find a place that looks nice, I like it, and it is in a decent location (close to school bus routes and close to friends)...the letting agent tells me he will email me the application. So I looked at the flat on a Saturday, didn't receive anything all weekend. Send him a text Monday asking if he sent the email, he said that he did. Told him I did not receive it so he re-sent it. Waited.. nothing. Sent him a text yesterday telling him that I still did not receive it and here is an alternate email address please send it there. He texts me today and says, "I have a tenant that will move into the flat this week so the landlord is going to accept their application." Um, ok, that is understandable but still would have been nice to get the application. I respond back saying, "Thanks for letting me know." He responds with, "Sorry about that, must be a disappointment." Seriously... jerkface. I don't think he ever even tried to send the application.

Back to flat-hunting some more. Luckily, had not really stopped and had kept looking just in case that one didn't work out.

I dated a guy for a while who owned a bunch of rental properties, and he did this all the time. Any time he didn't like the look of a potential tenant he'd tell them that he "forgot" to bring the application and he'd email it to them later, and then he'd never send it.

I could understand doing something like that if the potential tenant seemed like a total deadbeat or a rapey murderer. But he would pull crap like denying a single mom an application because he knew there was a hot college girl coming to look at the place the next day. Yeah, he was a major douchecanoe. 🙄
 
Freaking car accidents. Girl pressed the gas instead of the brake...WHO DOES THAT?

All okay. But freaking pissed off.
 
Im glad everyone is okay!

I idled into someone while learning to drive a manual. :smack:
