Is your state an at-will state? I sure as hell would quit this second without giving any sort of notice and go to someone higher up and tell them what's happening. Yeah, this may currently be your only option for working with animals, but you should NOT suffer through emotional abuse while you're working. Other opportunities will come along for working with animals especially if you look hard enough. And if you can't find a job working with animals right now but need a job for the money, find something in a different field and shadow a veterinarian on your off-time.

Please update, I wanna know how this endedFirst of all, happy Thanksgiving to all who are celebrating today!
Second of all, I am at my boyfriend's cousin's house today, and many of the people here I haven't met before, nor do they know I am applying to vet school this cycle. I heard a conversation just now about how vets are all money hungry cons and I couldn't contain my thoughts so I thought I could come on here to vent. My favorite comments of the convo: "the vet said my cat had tartar build up and wanted 500 dollars for the dental. I said no, I can do this myself, how hard could that be?." And "He was having seizures and they wanted 300 to euthanize him, so I just said screw it, I'm taking him back home to shoot him. Crooks!"
Major sigh. I know this kind of talk is not uncommon but still hurt to hear. I can't wait to see their faces when we go around the table mentioning what we are thankful for, as I will proudly say getting my first acceptenace to veterinary school.

Definitely start looking. And since you're an at will state, I wouldn't give a two weeks notice simply because I have a feeling that this boss will try and make your last two weeks even more miserable if he knows you're quitting. Good luck in the search!!! I hope you find something soon so you can leave that place.I am in an at will state. I really need a job right now as well as benefits so I'd be hesitant to quit before I found something else. But maybe it is time to update my resume and start looking around for something different and get out of this place. Thanks for the reply! I was originally so happy to get this job...but I guess live and learn.
Will they ship it??Figures that when I finally allow my mom to drag me to bridal shops, I'd actually fall in love with a discontinued dress. Off the rack for an amazing price, but 4 sizes too small. I could get a corset put in and that would get it to be about 2 sizes too small...feasible but I wasn't planning on overhauling myself physically for this wedding.
Found the same dress in a closer size, but in Missouri. Decisions.
I'm still trying to get them to send me pictures of the dress. I'd hate to fork over $900 for a dress I can't see. I'm trying on in MI, but the shop in MO is only about 4 hours from Champaign. Not too bad of a drive...Will they ship it??
And I'm guessing you've checked lots of other places around MI too(I assume you're trying them on in MI and not IL?)
Yeah that's true.I'm still trying to get them to send me pictures of the dress. I'd hate to fork over $900 for a dress I can't see. I'm trying on in MI, but the shop in MO is only about 4 hours from Champaign. Not too bad of a drive...
I'm sorry things are roughNeeded a place to vent so here it goes.
These past few weeks and especially Thanksgiving break has been rough. School is actually going great for the most part grades wise (silver lining), but everything else in my life seems to want to fall apart. My long term relationship seems to be trying to crumble due to the stresses of vet school despite my best efforts. Financial situation has been really tight and things just keep happenening that need money. My phone is literally on its last leg, my cars engine light came on, and my poor doggo got really sick (she’s better now) so that required attention. And personal problems with some of my family hasn’t helped. It’s just been one thing after another and my stress levels are at their peak and finals start this week.
I just keep reminding myself of the things I’m thankful for (loving parents, amazing friends) and Am hoping things turn around soon.
Have you tried the AZ Humane Society (south mountain)? I volunteer there in the summer and they usually have assistant/tech openings. Not sure where you live in the Phoenix area but the AZHS South Mountain campus is in the same area as MCACC, just a little farther south. AZHS has another location in N. Phoenix too.
I am unsure if you didn't realize this is the "rant here" thread or if you just really don't like your new kitty family member
Our new member of the family. His name is buck. He's a rescue Maine Coon cat.
We weren't sure how the dogs (we have 3 Samoyeds) would react to his presence. But they got along with him (and vice versa) very quickly.

Soooo the average for my class's most recent midterm was barely a passing grade. Maybe it's just me being a whiny student, but you'd think someone would wonder what the problem was when a decent chunk of my normally academic class starts failing exams once we started third year.
I know mine have, but oddly, my grades have gone up. I'm not sure how that happened. I'm not complaining.Your give a ****s have disappeared, obviously.
But they haven't! I actually studied really well for this one. I even felt pretty good about it afterwards. This just further proves my 'The harder I study, the worse I do' theory. Maybe I was hallucinating the whole time, as having my first surgery just 3 days prior took a toll on me hahaYour give a ****s have disappeared, obviously.

the class average for the last test for one of my historically difficult professors was failing as well. Professor then spent almost an hour lecturing to us about not working hard enough for the exam/ being lazy and entitled.

I hope you're keeping yourself on heartworm preventative year round!I think I just got bitten by a mosquito, through my jeans in December in PA! It’s pretty cold outside too.

I remember hearing about a species of mosquito that does ok in colder weather, but I still don’t like them.Possible. Some species overwinter as adults so they hang around longer.
Wow, it's already December in PA?I think I just got bitten by a mosquito, through my jeans in December in PA! It’s pretty cold outside too.
This is how you know finals are coming... I have lost all track of time!Wow, it's already December in PA?
I'm sorry, Coquette. Such a crappy time of year for him to do that, too!So that guy I'v been seeing? The one I really like and really click with? Yeah he broke it off tonight. I am hurt and angry and numb and a wreck.

Yeah I know. This was supposed to be the year that I finally had someone to bring to dinner with my parents, that I finally had someone to kiss at midnight on New Year's Eve.I'm sorry, Coquette. Such a crappy time of year for him to do that, too!

Speaking of chili, don't you owe us a video or something?Someone needs to PM me or message me on FB and remind me to make chili Friday night to take to work Saturday. I'm totally worried I'm going to forget, and my techs are counting on it.
