Got my eyebrows waxed today. The lady took off half of them, like my eyebrows end at the middle of my eyes. It makes me look kinda like an evil cartoon character, but I'm not too happy about it all. 😡

That SUCKS. I have blonde eyebrows, and get them dyed/waxed to look like normal, human eyebrows. It took a long time to find someone I really really liked though. My suggestion (what I did before dyeing, and what I do inbetween dyeing) is to use some brown eye shadow and an angled brush eyeliner to sort of extend them a bit/draw them in (lightly though!). This works best if it has hair to hold onto, but you can get away with it until they grow back. 🙁

I used to use a pencil, but I found that the eyeshadow actually gave a softer/more natural look. I'm super sorry. There is nothing worse than bad eyebrows!

Female, last time I checked... but there's no way I am allowing a perfect stranger (or anyone else for that matter) anywhere near any part of my anatomy with a vat of hot wax.

OHhhh come on now. A little hot wax never hurt nobody....wait.....
 
I finally found a medication that works and I think I'm allergic to it 🙁 FML.

Just promise me, squibby, that you will never ever ever ever completely have your eyebrows permanently removed and tattooed on. (I have a friend that's done this.... looks awful.... sorry if I offend anyone that's done it.... just doesn't look natural... ).

Is that actually an option outside of the drag community?
 
..I would really like the oven to work without having to open all of the windows/doors to make sure there is enough airflow to not set off all of the fire alarms in the house!! What the heck man.. I've cleaned it out and everything.. nothing smells like burning/gas.. grrrrr! 😡

I struggle to maintain my eyebrows.....I shud prolly wax 'em but I usually tweeze :shudder:

Rant: My school needs to stop using me for money. And lying to me. If you don't know the answer to something, tell me who does. Do NOT lie to me & expect me to pay for your mistake. Watch out - I'm not gonna sit passively and let you steal my monies. I need it for vet school, bitchez!!😎

But, on the better note, I got to wear aviators. Best part of my day (since I had to reschedule my 2nd exam now because of my headache & short term memory loss. Not cool, brain. Not cool!)

:biglove:Hang in there, SDN. We'll make it to that finish line, with or without eyebrows 😀 :biglove:
 
Ha ha! you guys are all so funny. luckily my so has a brown pencil, so I finished off my eyebrows somewhat acceptably. Here's to the fact that my eyebrows will grow back! :woot:
 
mini-rant:

A couple days I crossed over the "400" post marker. Now it says I have less than that.

Where did all my hard work go? :laugh:

weird. maybe they thought you were spamming and took some away. 🙂
 
My eyebrows are way too big, but I'm too much of a wimp to do anything about them myself, and I'm afraid of going to get them done and having them look really funny or be too small.

Bleh, I'm exhausted, back from my second interview trip over two weeks, and realized I have no clean scrubs. I wanted to crash into bed after I got home from the airport, but now I have to wait until I move my clothes into the dryer to go to bed so I have clean scrubs for tomorrow. 😴 Shouldve thought of that before I left, but I was in such a busy scramble flying out right after work. Finally, interview and travel craziness is over and all that's left is to wait and panic in the comfort of my own room. Yippee! :xf:

learning that someone you considered your best friend doesn't trust you is rough.

can't say anything else because people who read this board actually know who i am in real life...but lets just say i had a rough day.
 
What a terrible week. Holocaust history professor decided that what was supposed to be an in class essay as part of the midterm is now a take home essay. Essay is very broad and arguments can only be supported by primary sources she has provided. UGH. She is very hard grader. I feel like this is most BS essay I have ever written. Also, I have a huge biochem exam tomorrow on TCA, ETC, OP, glycolysis, carbs, lipids, and allosteric regulation and the second portion of the Holocaust history exam. I have an anatomy paper due on Friday (one due every week), 40 pages of reading I have to take notes on to turn in on Friday, and a ruminant nutrition exam on Friday.
Seriously feel sick to my stomach right now.:barf:
 
Dear colleagues in the kennel 😡

Folks. Our job isn't hard. It's not hard to do it well.
1. Towels. If they're still damp when they come out of the dryer, don't fold them and put them away. Put them back in the dryer or hang them somewhere to dry. FFS.
2. Trash. If it's full, take it the !@#$ out.
3. Kennels. If it's dirty, don't leave it for me to clean in the morning. Clean it. If it's really late and you're tired, leave me a note.
4. If there's no trash bag in the trash can, please do not proceed to fill the trash can with messy trash.
5. I am not washing your breakfast/lunch/dinner/snack dishes, nor am I responsible for cleaning up the results of your behavior in the kitchen that is reminiscent of a 2 year old in a high chair with spaghettios.
6. TAKE PRIDE IN YOUR WORK.

Thank you.

You said it sister👍 I think these problems are universal in vet clinics.
 
I went into the anatomy lab to go over some cadavers for our exam next week on the pelvic cavity and limb. Realized that I know pretty much nothing and our book is less than helpful. This exam has me freaking out. The end.

My sister is an esthetician. It's the only way I can afford to have decent eyebrows (she gets the wax and tint at wholesale prices from beauty supply stores). And she knows that I do not want super thin Cruella De Ville eyebrows. If I get into vet school, I have no idea what I'll do. I may have to *shock, horror, gasp* pay someone else. 😱

(Above is tongue in cheek. Though my sister is an esthetician and she does do my eyebrows for free).

I hateeee living here. People are super selfish and never willing to help a girl out with anything.

The joint pain, numbness, fatigue and inability to concentrate that I was complaining about? It's CAUSED BY STRESS.

I have a month until I graduate and my body has decided to FLIP OUT on me. I saw a specialist and he just threw me out the door with a script for an old-school psych med that he never told me was a psych med. He told me that it would "help me sleep" and "relieve my pain". After a looong talk with my counselor about it, he agreed that it might be a good idea for me to try it.

I hate the fact that my body is sooo f***** right now that I have to rely on a drug to help get me out of this little hole I'm in or I risk flunking out (well, maybe not flunking out, but doing poorly). And there is no little spot on my application to tell my vet school that I was diagnosed with a medical condition that prevented me from doing well for a little bit. Perfect.

My only best friend is driving me up the wall. While, I'm sitting here in a daze, not able to concentrate on any sort of school work, she's working herself into a fit of frenzy because she thinks her 15 000 word paper (that was supposed to be 6 000 words) wasn't good enough for the prof and that he was going to flunk her. She's re-writing it a THIRD time and is till panicking about it after he told her NOT to panic.

Also, she's pressuring me into applying to work with her professor this summer after I already told my professor that I am 100% committed to working with him if he got the grant. It seems very very irresponsible of me to go to him and say "Hey, if you don't get this grant, I asked this other prof if I can work with him instead, okay?" Along with that, she's trying to pressure me into taking $1000 diving lessons. Yes, it has always been a dream of mine... but I'm not paying that much right now. Sorry.

Plus, she comes up with the DUMBEST excuses when I ask her to do something and she doesn't want to do it. Yet, she guilts me into doing things with her and tries to keep me out longer than I should be out. As soon as I say, "Hey, I should be getting home now." I get "It won't take you THAT long to do your assignment. Let's just go for one quick drive and I'll take you home" and three hours go by. It's like this every time. But every time I suggest "Hey, do you want to go to a movie next Tuesday?" or "What about going to that psychic? Thursday is better for me", I get "Um.. I have a test *two weeks from the date* that I need to focus on" and then she wants me to go out with her four or five times in that span and not do what I want.

4 years at a university, and this is the only friend who shows interest in spending time with me.

I have this paper due in like 23 hours which I'm really not in the mood to do... all I want to do is go back to bed...

That's my life in a nutshell right now.

hm......I know I have brain issues. It's really been diagnosed as long-term depression...I'm just waiting for treatment to really figure that out 😉 Just need them (human doctors) to figure it out. Cause I don't know what's wrong :shrug: But, for chronic pain, I got shuffled around all week without any successful treatment and I did not appreciate it:uhno:

:wtf: MD's???

Who me?

Apparently just stressed and down and possibly depressed. The doctors I have seen have either been wrong or completely vague. All I know is that now I get to take some pills and see if they work and continue talking about my life to counselor. According to him, being bullied all of my life is probably what ruined me. We'll see.

i think posting on this Rant thread too much probably doesn't help. i'm sure it just brings more anger/sadness/depression the more you write on it.

I can't even read this thread much anymore because it is depressing to see the same people write in it so much, it also makes me mad if people over use it for silly things. not every problem is worth ranting about

Yes. I agree. Yet, I know people need to vent & like reassurance that, in the end, things will be all right.

Back during the Years of FAIL™, my classmates and coworkers were always on my case for being "excessively happy".

Yeah.... not so much. 😳

Balance is definitely better.
 
To make this short and simple. +pity+
Dear Vet Schools,
I hate you for not accepting me. The only thing that is keeping me from :boom: from rage and disappointment is making myself believe the ridiculous notion of fate... That it was meant to be and something amazing is going to come from this. We will meet again soon.
 
I had dental surgery today 🙁. Stupid pain, stupid vicodin making me nauseous, stupid not being able to eat food. I have what my dental surgeons must consider a million dollar mouth. A month from now I'll be getting yet another dental surgery to graft a piece of bone from my arm to my jaw. Lame. Thank the Obama I'm still on my parents insurance.

Seriously. I generally just bite my tongue here, because I'm not much of a "ranter" and I guess this is the "rant" thread and it's where people are supposed to come to bitch/moan/vent. But... wow... I just gotta shake my head sometimes at what people complain about and the energy they expend complaining about it.

This especially hits me seeing a lot of my classmates complain on Facebook about literally ANYthing and EVERYthing. The room is too hot/cold, the free lunch lecture wasn't exactly what they thought it would be, people can't drive in the parking lots, can't go out drinking tonight, the speaker is boring, blah blah blah it just goes on and on. Maybe it's because I'm older and I've learned to just more roll with things and not sweat the stupid isht, but I just really wish sometimes people could be grateful for some of the fab things in their lives. I'm really not some Suzy Sunshine who walks around whistling and smiling all day myself, but if people could spend half their negative energy doing something positive they might find a lot less to complain about.

So there, that's me, complaining about complaining. :laugh:
 
Now I'm wondering what stupid, inconsequential stuff I may have ranted about in here over the past month or so. :whistle:

FAILCat goes in for bloodwork tomorrow because he will. not. regulate. (Normally, you adjust his insulin, find happy numbers, and he's good for another 6-8 months with minimal tweaking.) I'm kind of worried about what might turn up on the panel. Western will be sending out e-mails in another week or so. I haven't slept in close to 48 hours courtesy of a paper that is not happening (in spite of much effort). And I actually found myself engaging in pointless SDN drama today :smack:. (Bad CT. Bad bad.)

Be forewarned... I sense an asinine rant materializing in the very near future. :laugh:
 
So I'm essentially in finals week only its midterms because spring break is next week. And I've put off studying for this last test with all my other tests this week and working, so I have to stay up and cram all night. I took an hour long nap after work to refresh except apparently I did one of those things where you turn your alarm off in mid sleep and go back to bed. However, luckily I woke up just one hour later. Why? I just had a terrible nightmare, and I hardly ever dream at all. I was doing some type of surgery on a cat and everything was great but the technicians weren't monitoring very well apparently or something because suddenly the cat was wide awake and struggling, and they were all yelling at me to do something about it. Then the heartbeat just stopped suddenly and they were screaming at me to do something. And I had no idea what to do, and if the cat died it was going to be completely my fault. And I woke up scared out of my mind.... AND I'M NOT EVEN IN VET SCHOOL YET. I think I need to de-stress lol

At least on here and on FB, it's relatively easy to ignore for the most part. It's when people are doing it to your face 24/7 that I just want to take them and shake them. Lately, my best friend has been adding to my stress levels by doing that. For the past month, she would cry over the fact that another student *might* be doing an honours thesis with the prof that she wants to do a thesis with. I really don't know how I managed to not snap. Before that, she was crying over the fact that she had to re-write her microbiology exam. Now she's crying over the fact that she spent sooo much time focusing on micro, that she's doing poorly in everything else. And it goes on and on and on...

So, now I need pills 🙄

I don't mind the thread at all. When you think you're having a bad day, someone else always has something bigger going on. And when you need a laugh, there is always something superficial here to read.

Very rarely does it bother me... unless it's about animal neglect or somebody doing something about really really stupid. Last week, a girl on my FB posted pictures of her cat's battle wounds and went on about how she wants to kill the other cat that did that to her. So, I went on a drunken rant about how she should keep her damn cat inside and she came up with all of the excuses under the sun (he's 10 and it's a sin, it's natural for him to catch birds and mice, and it's not like they're endangered, and it's easier to kill this cat than to trap it and take it to a shelter).

Also, my friend graduated with a BEd and has been working at a video rental store for the last year... before that, a call center. He hasn't been paying student loan for 2 1/2 years because he "can't afford it" (he lives at home and home and doesn't have a car or anything... buh?) He posted one day about how he wanted to upgrade his 2 year old laptop. The next day, he went on a huge rant about student loan lost his paperwork and now he has to start making payments, which he can't afford, and that he was planning on calling them up and screaming at them.

There are absolutely NO teaching jobs in the province. I saw a news story that talked about the lack of jobs, how the 22% cut is going to make it impossible for new teachers to get sub jobs, and how most new grads are going to India, up north, or to the US to teach. I asked him if he was planning on going away. "Uh, I was looking at going to Switzerland or the Czech Republic..." Uh, WHY NOT THE PLACES THEY TALKED ABOUT ON THE NEWS? "India is unstable, everybody goes up north 🙄, and a teacher in the states makes $10 000 less/year than a teacher anywhere else." I just want to take him and shake him. STOP COMPLAINING AND GET A REAL JOB YOU CHUMP.

End rant.

in order to meta-rant, wouldn't he have to be complaining about complaining about complaining? 😛

I had a social studies teacher in high school who taught history, psych, soc, government, etc. I took his psych class, and he was OBSESSED with metacognition. Like, we did an entire unit, and he would drill in our heads that metacognition was thinking about thinking about thinking and is what separates humans from computers. We had to watch 2001: Space Odyssey, and play chess, and gernerally be tortured 😉
