RANT HERE thread

I know what you mean when it comes to animal abuse. I'm vegetarian. When my fb friends post pictures of the geese and deer they've killed, it makes me cringe.

My ex's family dog had separation issues. He'd tear apart the garbage or pee on the floor when alone or when the parents left. My ex told me he'd hit the dog when the dog did that

My odds of getting accepted right now are ~ 13/60.
If I gain residency in another province, in two application cycles, my odds would be ~12/24 I think. While living in that province, I am not allowed to attend post secondary education for one year in order to be considered a resident. I've applied for government jobs all over the province. I don't know when I'll start hearing back. They would have to pay me A LOT. I can't afford student loan payments, rent, transportation and living expenses on anything less.

Most of the government jobs require a drivers license, so I may not hear back from any of them at all. All I need is for someone to teach me how to back into a parking space and I can take the test... I'm going to have to shell out $$$ to a training company to make that happen next month. I asked a ton of people if they could teach me if I were to get my beginners and they all backed out when I did. I have two months until it expires

Haha, sorry if it sounds funny. Im trying to get used to using a different keyboard. The shift key is sooo tiny on this one.

I would like to offer the view that of all the various annoying sections of the GRE, of which there are many, Reading Comprehension is the worst.

I am so sick of reading long passages, being totally convinced that I'm correct in every response, and then finding I missed half of them. Hell if I know what the author would have titled his/her little passage and I'm to the point of not caring.

...one relative got so mad at their dog they took it out back and shot it a few times- not to kill it... but as punishment.... someone else was telling me about how they got kicked off of a milking stand and started wailing on their cow with a 2x4.... I had to get up and leave.

Yeah, I don't have much self control with this type of thing, because I would not have been able to get up and leave. 99% of the time I am pretty good at keeping my mouth shut when I know I should, but this subject has gotten me into trouble on numerous occasions. I have told off complete strangers when I have seen them abusing an animal, and I'm surprised they didn't turn on me next!

 

[pennyonthefloor]

Once again I find myself gravitating toward this thread. I HATE MY BOSS. I can't seem to say that enough. And yes, hate is a strong word... but I'm so tired of being in meetings, having my ideas shot down, being treated like a little kid and being talked down to. There was one incident where, indirectly, I was accused of lying on my timesheet. Really? My boss is NEVER here.... why doesn't he look at his hours? Nobody knows exactly what he does yet no one wants to make waves. I don't do well in small town politics because when I see something that's wrong, I won't turn a blind eye to it. I'd rather stick to my morals and ethics and not have a job than waiver from them and be a lemming.

​

All I have to say is that I cannot wait to start vet school. I'm going out with a bang here.... I have no one to report to other than my boss (and if I go to the people above him, it's like signing a death wish-- really never looking to come back to this job.... EVER.... and have a ton of more powerful and supportive people that back me in a different area of the state... so that death wish is something I'm willing to accept...).... at their last meeting before I leave, I will be providing them with a year's worth of problems I've encountered and how the individual they hired is a fool and doesn't deserve the title he has. I can only pray that someone speaking out will change the environment around here for those that will still be left....

YES!

I will live vicariously through you, because you just described my old boss from a job I left in April. I never had the guts to do something like that, due to the politics of it all (the fact that I was up for another job with people that knew this boss 😡).

GO FOR IT!

 

[scb44f]

These are insignificant rants, but I don't really have anyone to talk to at the moment. Anyway, I love my family, but I seriously am frustrated with them right now.

My mom can't remember my answer to a yes/no question that she's asked me at least a dozen times in the past few years. I won't say the question, but my answer is the same as hers... You'd think she could remember that.

She also will not follow directions. I tell her my dog gets a cup and a half of food twice a day, and she gives her 2 cups twice a day, because "she's still hungry". I gave her a half-used bottle of Frontline spray and told her the dosage for her dog, and showed her where on the bottle the dosage is listed. I even showed her how to apply it and what it should feel like. I came back 2 months later and the dog had fleas because she had used 1/4 of the number of sprays because she forgot what I told her and didn't think to read the f-ing bottle.

She also offered for me to get a smart phone since I'm due for an upgrade and she's offered multiple times to pay for me to have an iPhone or something equivalent. I finally said yes when she offered again when I got home from break, so I found a phone I would want, told her, and she said, "Ok then. I can do that." I left the next day, came home a week after that only to find that she had since decided that the money she could put toward having a smart phone would be better spent on the wedding which won't take place for a year and a half at least. I'm fine with that logic, but I'm not fine with her laying an offer down, me taking it, and then her backing out on it. I really just want to get rid of the piece of crap phone I have and am disappointed that it hasn't happened yet even though I could've upgraded nearly a month ago.

My sister can't read her emails. I sent her the list of what mom wanted for Christmas, then said what I would get for her off of that list. Weeks later, just before Christmas, she called and asked what I'd gotten for mom, only for us to find out that she'd gotten 2 of the same things because she didn't read the email. Awesome. Then she was cranky at me because of my "bad" dog and tried to poke fun at the fact that I was sleeping in (go figure... a college student sleeping in until 9 am on a day during break when there is nothing to do).

I'm currently loving the saying, "I love you, but I don't have to like you."

I think we're all on this site to help each other. I think that it is really kinda snooty to say that you won't put feedback up for a school 'cause we should all be equal (which is true) but give your reason as you're being selfish when you've already got in to your IS and another school. I don't want to start a war on the topic, which is why I'm in the rant thread, but some of us are pinning our hopes on this one school, and you've got two + acceptances, what's the harm in telling us what went on.

I wasn't going to say anything (also because I didn't want to start a war), but I totally agree. I'm glad you said it. 🙄

At least there are many others over the years who have posted their feedback, and I know that that info alone will take me a while to get through!

ok, can someone please tell me who we are talking about?

I didn't see the post in question... to be honest, I've been avoiding the interview/acceptance threads at the moment because (although I am totally happy for you guys!) they stress me out a little too much at the moment with my one rejection, four schools in waiting, and rather bleak-feeling prospects of remaining in the states. 😳

I get that maybe that school is their first choice and they're afraid that sharing info might give someone else an edge in the interviewing process (thus diminishing their chances). However, I think it works both ways. If you're going to use the information generously shared by others to your advantage (and I have no idea whether or not the poster in question has: I'm talking hypothetically here), you should also be willing to offer some feedback for the benefit of other applicants. Those who are willing to take should also, IMO, be willing to give. If someone isn't using any of the resources provided by others, while I think it would certainly be nicer to give feedback, I can't fault them for not doing so.

I didn't see the post this is referring to but I think it's pretty harmless to post interview feedback. I interviewed 1st day in the morning at OSU and posted my feedback several hours later. Maybe that wasn't smart, but my feeling is that if the adcom thinks you're qualified, you're going to get in. A specific question that they asked ME isn't really going to help you in most cases, but maybe it makes you feel a little better since you have some idea of what to expect. I'm all for a little peace of mind in this very stressful time 🙂

I guess you know you've made it big on an internet forum when you really piss everyone off. I do agree that my word choice was poor (and not really expressive of what I was trying to say...), and the tone was not right.

For everyone who is now angry, I'm really sorry. I tried to explain more in the thread at question. And for those of you getting super angry, make sure you look back earlier in that thread and see that I already posted about the questions I got.

And thanks everyone for keeping score on my application cycle.

Dude, gone2dogs...you DESERVE the success you're getting so far this application cycle! I'm so happy to see a re-applicant with this many acceptances on your belt. You do your thang and rock it.

My rant is going to be for my co-worker who left the kennel at work a mess when she KNEW I was doing her a favor by covering her in the afternoon. On top of that, she decided to have a hissy fit on our message board about garbage cans being left out for 1 extra night. Really??! Totally immature and last time I'm covering her butt 😡.

 

[drwildlife]

This is long overdue but, one of my roommates is about to drive me insane. Little background information, she was accepted into the nursing school program at my school and has just now finished her first semester (at the time this started she was barely into it). We used to get along pretty good but, it all started when she decided to get a kitten. From day one, this kitten was terrified of her. She brought it home in a box (yes, a box) and then as soon as it was out proceeded to take pictures of it, in its face (with a flash.) Then, she got mad that it was so skiddish and said she'd probably take it back in a few days if it didn't work out.

All I did was take the kitten to the food bowl, and, as it was eating pet it a little. In a few minutes, we were basically inseparable. Since that day, the kitten seems to love me. I'll wake up and it's curled up by me, it follows me around, it plays with me, etc etc.

One day I noticed the kitten was scratching her ear and whining and tilting her head. First thing I think about is ear mites. I tell her this and she says "well, I haven't noticed it yet so if I haven't noticed it then it's not that big of a deal." Four weeks later she takes her to the veterinarian only to find out she had a severe case of ear mites (Bingo on my part).

I would say more but, this is going to turn into a life story. Basically, every time I say something animal related she replies "well, you're not a vet yet." Oh, and, she's getting the kitten declawed...despite it never clawing us or any piece of furniture 😕 😡

 

[RaiderTXgirl]

UGH! People like that are my biggest pet peeve. It drives me absolutely insane. 😡

 

[pennyonthefloor]

Alright.... I'm in just a tearful mood today. The SO and I got in a huge fight last night about things that I feel are trivial but are a HUGE deal to him.... *sigh*

I didn't sleep well last night, I woke up this morning and instantaneously started bawling. I have to suffer through work and put on my happy face when all I want to do is sit and cry.

This whole month of my life has been a rollercoaster of emotions and I am ready for some normalcy. I haven't been able to celebrate getting in to vet school (it's sad that this should be the most exciting time of my life yet when I think about it I don't get as excited as I feel I should.....).

I hate being whiny.... I really do... but as of late that's how I've felt. Sorry for all of you that choose to read all my rants.... seems like I've been on this thread too much in the past month... *sigh*

Hang in there, potf! What you have accomplished is outstanding! You're almost done with that Master's, and this Fall, you begin on the path you've been hoping for. Nothing can stop you now. Our class is going to ROCK! You're going to have a whole bunch of new, supportive friends (albeit, a little strange 😛...um..not that I'm talking about me or anything ) Keep plugging along, cuz there's light at the end of that tunnel you're in!

"well, I haven't noticed it yet so if I haven't noticed it then it's not that big of a deal."

I don't think I'd want a nurse that was this unobservant. Between my mom and dad, I've spent a ton of time in hospitals, and nurses are the first line of defense for the patient. They have to notice changes in a patient. If this chick can't find behaviour changes in a cat she lives with, I question how she thinks she'll notice changes in a patient she sees for a couple minutes a few times a day. 🙄

Thanks LSD. I'm just in one heck of a funk as of late.... it doesn't help that I'm physically distanced from all the usual people I use as sounding boards.... *sigh* Doesn't help that I got to see my family (whom I spend typically see at least for a week over Christmas) for 8 hours. Sucks getting older. Really really sucks.

Exactly what I was thinking! Sigh...sometimes I want to just kjsdlfsfdjkflsk. I guess she feels competition from me since I'm going to end up a Doctor and she will be "just" a nurse even though I don't see it that way at all. Although, one of the veterinarians I have worked with has always said "pssh, I'll be snooty to them if I want. My degree out ranks them." Jokingly of course 😀

Penny, sorry about your difficult times! Just know it's these small amounts of troubled times that make life interesting. If it was all a piece of cake, it'd be boring! Keep your chin up.

 

[168135]

If I had to provide a reference letter for the vet tech program and go through an interview and testing before I was accepted, you'd think they'd do the same for the nursing program... because... oh man... the drugs... the tramp stamps... the drama... the cheating... and the laziness I witnessed from a good chunk of the students... it makes me kinda scared

I know a couple of nursing students who will make great nurses, but I know a lot more who are suited for different careers or just aren't mature enough to handle the program and responsibilities. My mom is a nurse... she's told me some pretty terrifying stories... she currently works with a couple of CCAs and LPNs who just don't have the personality type or the maturity to handle the job... and they're either struggling with the job or deliberately making things difficult for her.

I really really really hate cockroaches. Being from the Northeast originally I was used to seeing only small ones in ghetto areas. Now I live in Miami and they're everywhere and HUGE! It's one thing having to see them at work when someone else is there to kill them but I just saw a live one in my apartment. I've found 2 dead ones in the kitchen and my boyfriend was there both times to clean them up. But this time I was alone and had to kill it! (I've refused to kill them in the past, freaks me out!) It was crawling across the carpet in my living room! Then while I was freaking out deciding how to pick it up it STARTED MOVING AGAIN. I lost it under the couch and then 5 minutes later it was crawling across the floor again! I smashed it until there is no way it was alive and got the courage to throw it in my trash. Now I'm upstairs and terrified to go back downstairs...

I really hope there are less cockroaches in whatever place I end up at for vet school (assuming I get in! )

Ah, the infamous 'Palmetto Bug' a.k.a. a roach so large you could saddle it up and ride it to work! You have my sympathies... I had an internship in lower Alabama during grad school and had to live to them. Nothing's quite like waking up at 5am, staggering to the shower and finding one 'greeting' you on the end of the shower head. Spare yourself the trouble of having to 'hunt them down' or having to 'smash them beyond recognition' (hence grinding them into the rug) by using the following method:

Get yourself a LARGE can of CHEAP hairspray - Aqua Net, or any other brand containing nylon will do ya. Then, when you see one of little monsters crawling (or heaven forbid flying) across your living space, give it a good spray. The hairspray will 'freeze' it long enough for you to find a pair of gloves and a receptacle for disposal.

I learned this from one of the 'locals' and it saved my sanity! I'll keep my that you head to a more 'bug free' environment!!

I have kind of a funny rant... Phoenicians are so ridiculous when it gets cold here. Everyone keeps claiming it snowed today, and on the news they've been calling it "snow pellets." Last time I checked, that was called HAIL.

 

[thedogisgreen]

Why do new clients bring this pets in for exams and vaccines but have no memory or records of when or what the pet has had in the past and expect us to magically know/hunt down records from an old vet they forget the name of?
And I need some news from vet school, now. Or, Monday morning since nothing will come over the weekend. I'm sick of panicking constantly. But I guess so it shall be for the next several months.

Best advice ever! I've lived in Miami for almost 5 years now and no one has ever given me that tip! I'm very excited to go out tomorrow and buy some hairspray.

I'm glad someone understands how ridiculously large the cockroaches are down here! Everyone up north thinks I'm crazy for freaking out so much.

I wanted to get a job in the province that my school is in to gain residency, but I got yelled at. "How can you afford rent making $15 an hour AND pay off your student loan? Blah blah blah".

If it's any consolation, it can be done! In fact, I'm doing it right now. I'm 22 years old and living on my own in Northern V$rg$n$a (my family is in Massachusetts). I'm making $15.25/hr and not always getting 40 hrs/week (sometimes more like 30 hours). I'm paying $600 in rent and $340 every month for student loans, have a dog and don't skimp on food for either of us. I can't afford a lot of luxuries, but that's totally fine. Just some encouragement. Don't let anyone tell you that you can't do something! If you want it badly enough, you can find a way to make it work... so go kick some ass! 😀

Well, cause you have computers, right, so of course you can just look this stuff up? And that's your job, right? To magically know every single dog, cat, hamster, goat, parakeet, goldfish and Himilayan hairless sea monkey that comes into your office. As well as its favourite treats, its nicknames and where it likes to be scratched. I mean, they're just owners. You don't expect them to know their pets do you?? I mean, you charge enough, you ought to know something!

(Note: The above is firmly tongue in cheek. If it wasn't immediately obvious.😉)

Hehe... I will go kick some ass 🙂
I just have to be patient in the meantime.

The last two summers, I made minimum wage (~$1000/month... I wasn't working full-time hours) and was only paying $495/month for rent. I lucked out though... heat and lights are included in my rent and I'm in a safe neighborhood. The other apartments I looked at were over $500, didn't include heat and lights and were in pretty dangerous locations. Mom probably thinks I won't get lucky like that again if I move.

$500 inclusive for an apartment is great! One-bedroom apartments start at $1000+ plus utilities around here, so my $600 only gets me a bedroom and private bathroom in a house (I have use of the rest of the house and it's really nice and in a good neighborhood, though). I've had good success finding places like this on Craigslist. Of course you have to be careful like with anything online and might have to see a few places before you find people you mesh with, but it's a great resource. And while it's not necessarily ideal (who wouldn't prefer their own space?), it's a small sacrifice to make to save yourself some serious cash!

👍 to you, too, cowgirla!

 

[thedogisgreen]

I am so, so weirded out right now. My roommate's little slider turtle seems to have run away. I've been feeding them this week while she's gone, and it's not fun. The little one died a few days ago from what was probably vitamin insufficiency/lack of UV light. Felt guilty about it, especially while seeing him suffer with neuro issues for several days prior, but turned more annoyed at my roommate when she wasn't upset about his death and just said she would go buy a replacement this weekend. (This coming after the last six months involved the death of many, many fish and snails as well as a puppy, who she took to the vet way too late despite my nagging 😡 and he died of intussusception.)
So I go tonight to feed the remaining little guy, and he is nowhere to be found. Took everything out of the tank, checked inside the filter - gone. I'll do a more intensive search of the house tomorrow when it's light out. Nice way to spend part of my day off. I feel pretty bad that this is all happening to the turtles while technically in my care. 🙁 But also annoyed at her yet again because when I told her the turtle was missing, she thought it was more funny than anything and said that she'll just need to buy two this weekend when she goes to the Chinese market. 😡

That sucks.

I was cat sitting for a friend of mine's parents a few years back. The cat was indoor/outdoor, and the parents insisted that he be put out every night. The first night, when I came over to feed him and let him out, I had a bad feeling about it, and seriously debated leaving him in... but I was afraid that if he got annoyed and destroyed something, they'd get rid of him. (They aren't big pet people.) So I waited until he finished eating, played with him for a while, and opened the door. He hasn't been seen since. 🙁

I still feel horrible about it, and no longer pet sit for anyone who doesn't keep everybody indoors.

I know that feeling. I have a spiteful pooper in my house. Don't give her the amount of attention she feels she deserves and you're guaranteed to come home to piles in the living room.... It's been really trying for both my SO and myself.... At least yours is temporary...

Not a big rant, just feeling out of sorts today. Boyfriend went to do some work on another house so I have a little time to myself, which is peaceful. My mom and sister invited me to lunch/movie but it's a 45min drive and I just feel apathetic and mopey today for no apparent reason. I'm going to take the stuff off of the tree and maybe do some cleaning so that at least I can say I've done something.

I hadn't realized how badly I wanted to get into my IS. I really hope its good news for me this coming week, even if I'm rejected from all seven others 🙁

Best advice ever! I've lived in Miami for almost 5 years now and no one has ever given me that tip! I'm very excited to go out tomorrow and buy some hairspray.

I'm glad someone understands how ridiculously large the cockroaches are down here! Everyone up north thinks I'm crazy for freaking out so much.

Glad to be of service and I really hope it works for you! It's been a long time since I was down there, so the buggers haven't developed a resistance to nylon. And I totally understand the freak out - those 'things' really are a freak of nature!!

And now for a mini rant... I'm supposed to be down on 2 Street today, but I woke up 'sick'. 🙁 Really bummed because the weather is better than it's been in years! So, here I am stuck watching the festivities on TV. Oh well, at least I'm in touch via text and I'll get to watch the Winter Classic.

the capital one bowl game has been a disaster for Michigan State. every. single. player. has come out of the game with an injury, we're on our THIRD STRING quarterback, and we're being shut out 42-0 by a team that is, when healthy, arguably the best team in the country.

boooooo.

The spawn of satan is boarding at our hospital this weekend and I have to take care of him. He happens to be a 2 year old Siamese with some serious aggression. I feel bad for the owner because she is apparently getting bit by this cat on a daily basis and she's 80 years old. I can barely get close to his cage without him lunging at me batting, spitting, and hissing. I filled his water bowl with a syringe through the cage bars 😡. I don't know how I'll get to his litterbox but I'm going to have to find a way to get kibble into his cage. This animal should not be boarding with us and according to the interactions with the owner, this animal is not a suitable pet. I shouldn't let animals like these stress me out...but they do 🙁.

This may be crazy to say but, I'd much rather have to take care of a non-social dog than an aggressive cat. Cats just seem much more terrifying when they're pissy like that.
