RANT HERE thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Haha, same here. First it took Emiloo's post earlier to remind me that I had laundry I wanted to wash, and now your post reminded me that I should move that laundry over to the dryer.
Not sure what it says about us that the internet is how we remember to do laundry...

At least you guys are doing yours! 😳
 
If you are being serious, I am sad we are not classmates. I think you would appreciate my tarantula collection.😀

I am totally serious. I LOVE spiders and bugs and creepy crawlies. They are so cool. On a hike a couple weeks ago we ran across thousands of springtails on top of the snow and everyone got a good lecture about evolution. 🙂

haha nice!!

i think it says a) we spend too much time on SDN, and b) that we clearly are procrastinating something(s)! :laugh:
 
Erm, half the time I get as far as washing and drying....... but never get around to folding it.... just pull clean socks out of the basket.... :d

when i'm at home, laundry usually doesnt make it past the washer without me forgetting about it. then it proceeds to sit around (sometimes for days😳) until someone else in the house needs to do laundry and finishes my load off😀

Don't feel too bad. It's my Achilles heel as well.

I'm a motivated motherf-er in most aspects of my life, but getting from start to finish on a load of laundry baffles me every time.

Instead of actually folding things, I usually end up just forgetting everything in the basket, and then de-wrinkling my clean clothes in the morning with steam from the shower.

I'm a grown up.

I do the same thing. I pick out the wrinkly clothes I want to wear, and then throw them in the dryer while I shower 😳

For the most part my chosen wardrobe of jeans and t-shirts is pretty safe to just throw on.... wrinkles and all lol... But I have used both the dryer and steam methods. I suppose at 27 I really should have an iron in my arsenal of tools....🙄

Are you kidding? I'm almost 32 and haven't used an iron in at least 6 years. #wifefail

emiloo and dsmoody-at least you take the time to de-wrinkle them...if i (or a family member) don't immediately fold them upon finishing them, they go in the basket and i wear wrinkly clothes for multiple days/weeks 😳
 
Ugh, my futon is our permanent dump for all clean clothes. I hate hate HATE folding clothes. HATE. I don't mind the washing or the drying, just the FOLDING And the PUTTING AWAY!!!! HATE!!!!!!! 🙁 🙁 🙁

Btw em, I know what you mean. I've been in ruts like yours in the past. Once you're there, it's hard to get out. How big a deal is it that you aren't taking your meds? Also, I hate to bring up the d word, but your symptoms do sound depression-like. Don't ever hesitate to go talk to someone if it gets outta hand, lady.

I cannot seem to pull my head out of my *ss and take care of the things I need to do lately. I've been needing to go to the dentist for months now, and everyday I wake up, say "I need to make an appointment" (how freakin simple is it to make an appt) but then just sit there all morning and don't do it. Then I find myself making stupid excuses like, I don't know where my insurance card is... then get off your *ss and find it, Emily! 😡

I have laundry all over the place... it is NOT hard to put laundry in a washing machine and wash it. It is NOT hard to get off your freakin arse every morning and just DO STUFF!!! What the hell is wrong with me? 😕

The only thing that got me out of bed today.... my roommate and his flavor of the week bangin it out on the other side of the wall. Could you BE more rude when you are in MY HOME?! BLEH! 😱

I have SOOOO much school work to do and I literally say I'm gonna do it everyday... haven't touched it in months. :scared:
I even cancelled my singing lesson on Monday because I didn't want to get out of bed at 1:00 PM!!! It was the ONLY thing I had to do that day. :nono:

I have been off my thyroid medicine for a while now, and have a dysfunction in my back that causes me to always be in pain and want to lay down, but I have never let it stop me in the past and sure as hell don't want to let it now.
UGH! GET IT TOGETHER!
:slap:
:whoa:

Emilloo don't forget being off your thyroid meds could be doing this! I don't know if your usually hyper or hypo but going to far either way can make you feel like a sack of **** and totally unmotivated to do anything. Worst few months of my life was when a high dose of meds sent me hypo - i was super depressed and unmotivated and no idea why - and as soon as I lightened up on the meds I felt amazing! (My thyroid function was nonexistant). I have a standing agreement with my doc that I can pop in if im feeling crap and get my levels retested anytime, maybe you should look into getting them checked?

you are just gonna love doing laundry in grenada then :meanie:

but it kinda works out because you have so few clothes folding takes a couple of minutes :laugh:

true story: i have a hamper for clean clothes and a hamper for dirty clothes. i also basically only wear scrubs or pajamas anymore now, so wrinkles aren't a huge concern.

i justify this by saying i'm still unpacking after moving back home post-graduation, but it's been almost 10 months now, so.

Yeah we thought I had the d word once and that's when we found my hypothyroidism. I feel silly for even being this pathetic since so much is going right for me right now.

Yeah I know it's probably that I'm back to having an essentially non existent thyroid since I've been off my meds for a year. The last time I was tested the doc said I had one of the worst cases he'd seen 🙁. My insurance is almost as pathetic as my thyroid lol so it's been hard to pay for constant testing. Now I am at the point where if I go get tested now, getting an insurance company to pick me up in August is almost impossible . They consider it a pre existing condition of it's not under control. I've had it happen before. I'll have to figure out the best way to do this, because I can't keep being the pathetic version of myself when I have so much going for me right now. Thank you guys, as always, for your support. I think I need a swift kick in the arse 😉

Send me some blood and ill have it tested in our lovely socialised health system? :meanie: So so lame though 🙁
 
I actually like folding laundry. I do it when I'm in a bad mood. I just stand there, sing and fold my clothes and after a while I feel a little bit better.

Putting it away now is a whole nother story.. Hate that..

Whyyyy?!? But yes, I was actually going to say something like- I can't freakin wait to get to Grenada since I'll have like 1/4 as many clothes to fold and they'll all be light little tanks and shorts- EASY!!!! Mwahahaha 😀
 
I need kittens and they aren't coming! That's all I want right now, just one little sad foster kitten. But no! No kittens for wildcat 🙁.

lol, I read that initially to mean that you will only drink things that are in frosted glass. Like a beer in a regular old beer mug wasn't good enough for you. Apparently I wouldn't have gotten the hint from your shirt. Probably would have come by and been like "aren't you a lil high maintenance?" and thus pissing you off some more 😛.

Hang in there emiloo 🙂 its okay to have some down moments every now and then but I hope you get your thyroid issues sorted out and find that it helps with everything!!! Damn insurance companies for making everything so hard!!!!!!

And I hate folding laundry or doing it for that matter. My closest is pretty much acting like my hamper these days. If I don't quickly shut it, it all comes tumbling out. Oops. :laugh: maybe tomorrow I'll do laundry.....but probably not

Haha, we have a 15 foot long walk in closet that we are turning into a bathroom (there's a 15 foot closet on both sides of the room... score!) and I have been using the bathroom/closet as my laundry pile as well 😀. You all have made me feel MUCH better bc I am clearly not alone in my laundry struggles :meanie:.

Ohhh man sooo jealous of your closet space!!! Though that would probably mean more dirty clothes for me to pile up...yay for converting it into a bathroom! What a fun house project! I need to wash my sheets so bad. Buuutt here I am. Clearly NOT doing any laundry still. Sigh.
 
I am sooo sick of this doctor at work. He drives everyone insane. Most of the time I have to remind him of things that would be beneficial for pets. For example: the time that he put together a treatment plan for a cat that he was going to open up a huge absecess on and place a drain in; I had to remind him to add sedation to the treatment plan (and I wasn't even the tech on the case I overheard another tech saying that we weren't sedating and was paying enough attention to what was happening that night to realize what was going on). There is much more to that story of what happened that night but I will leave it there.

Today he was pissing me off. I was in surgery with him today and we had a client bringing in their dog for a c-section this morning (the dog gave birth on Tuesday evening, but money issues, etc, etc). The tech that went up to get the dog had told the owner to please stick around since the dog was now actively pushing and seemed to be trying to deliver the one remaining puppy. When the doctor (idiot man) gets in and I tell him what is going on and ask if he would like to examine the dog. His first question, "Are we doing surgery?" I don't know why don't you tell me you have the DVM after your name; I don't. Then he asks a whole bunch of additional questions that again, I DON'T HAVE THE DVM YOU DO!!! Those are questions YOU should be answering. 😡 So, he finally examines the dog and says that the puppy is still really high and recommends surgery but tells me to let the owner know we can either a. do surgery right away or b. wait until later in the afternoon to see if she delivers on her own.

The owner chooses to do surgery right away. At this point, the dog is really starting to look uncomfortable so I am hoping that he will just jump into surgery right away, nope. (We end up doing another dog's neuter first). He then asks if we are going to spay the dog afterwards. I tell him yes. He says I don't think you are sure that the owner knows we are spaying the dog. I tell him that the doctor who saw the dog yesterday placed into her notes 3 times that she told them we would do a c-section/spay AND I told the owner this morning that we would spay her after so that she can not have any more puppies and she said that is what we had planned on. Nope that was not good enough. He made me call the owner to verify this when I had just talked to her 10 minutes ago. I ended up leaving a message. His response: "We won't do surgery until she calls back." 😡

It gets better... he then asks me to put the dog back on IV fluids and to use the same rate that the pet was on yesterday. I tell him, "Ok. That rate was 15mls/hr." He then says, "Well how do you know that?" Because I read the patient's history from yesterday this morning when I first got to work and it said that in the history. His response: "Oh I did not read her history from yesterday." 😡😡😡😡 :smack:

He kept bugging me while I was on my lunch today asking me to do things...eating right now. Ok well when you get back do: this and this and this; don't you think it might be better to ask one of the other 5 or 6 techs that aren't on lunch and available right now? Or how about when he calls me AFTER I AM OFF to ask me what the various temperatures where on the dog and what times we took them at. Thankfully, I have a rock solid memory and was able to tell him all the times and temps but seriously I told you all of them WHEN I TOOK THEM! (Actually, another new tech took most of them but relayed them to me so I was able to remember all of them). 😡


I am so sick of this guy. He is the biggest idiot I have ever seen. He comes off as a cocky prick but in reality he is insecure and uncertain of everything that he does. Whenever he forgets something or his insecurities get the best of him it is ALWAYS someone else's fault. He is one of the reasons I wish I could quit my job now. There are definitely others but he is one of the main reasons.


:boom:


If you actually read this whole post I give you kudos!
 
Ugh. So sorry to hear about all of that DVDDream. I don't know how long I could handle that. 👎
 
its cool having skinks and other lizards running around the house- but not when the big lizards make huge terds and you step in them with your slippers and then smell **** for like 3 hours not realizing you've stepped in skink **** until after you've walked all over the house. 😡
 
Gosh, DVMDream he really does sound like a jerk. Is there no management you can report him to?
 
DVMDream- I sympathize with your incredibly irritating work situation. I myself had an incredibly horrible work day... starting off when my boss b*tched at me for showing up 4 minutes late... even though I never take smoke breaks and work basically flat out for my entire shift without breaks, and also show up early for shifts normally.

Then, the patrons were all just being jerks including one guy who gave me a tip... and then took it back....!? 😕

All I wanted to do was just have a cry or at least txt/talk to my boyfriend... but NO. I dropped my phone into an old cup of coke (in his car!) as I was getting out of the car... and now my phone has a black screen and is stuck on vibrate. 🙁
 
Wah! Biochem exam Monday, huge paper due Tues, and Orgo exam Tues. Why does everything have to happen all at once?! At least I only have one exam every week for the rest of the semester after that? At least that's manageable... I wish I had some semblance of motivation at this point.
And my damn boyfriend (who's in Ireland) dumped milk all over his computer and ruined it. So I haven't skyped with him in almost a week, and probably won't until next week.

I have been working at this clinic for almost two years (in August) but I have been working for the same company (not Banfield or VCS) for nearly 7 years. Luckily, I am able to put him in his place most of the time without getting into trouble. I really don't think he is a bad person but he just is not the best vet and when he can't handle something he tries to blame it on others. It gets old really fast and I find myself having to tell him quite often that he can't blame others for his mistakes. He did come up to my yesterday and tell me that he was leaving for lunch. My response, "Please do."

Gosh, DVMDream he really does sound like a jerk. Is there no management you can report him to?

Yes. I can. Yes. I have. He is just an associate doctor he does not own any part of the clinic. Unfortunately, the company I work for is kind of complicated in their management system. This doctor has had problems (big problems) before and they almost fired him but one of the on-site practice owners decided to keep him on because she thinks he has "potential" (he makes the clinic too much $$); I don't see it. All I see is her doing this.....😍. So not too much I can do if the one person who could probably get rid of him is infatuated with him (he is married with a kid), but it is still obvious that she has something for him. All of the other partner doctors would let him go without any problems. I have worked with one of the main owners for the entire company for 5 years, he really trusts me and will ask my opinion but without the other doctor agreeing he can't really do much.

Sounds like my boss bitching at me for wanting to use my well-deserved sick time. 😡 Sorry about your cruddy day and I hope you can get a new phone soon or that your current phone will miraculously fix itself.
 
WORST
DENTIST
APPOINTMENT
EVER!

Ever had a deep scaling and rootplanning performed? Yeah, NOT FUN! 😡 I literally have a blood clot between every single one of my teeth, I look so freakin gross and I would rather punch myself in the head than be awake to feel this right now. Apparently the hygienist had "never seen someone's gums bleed so much before." 😡😡😡 Then to make it even better, she injected antibiotics in my gums... thanks mom, for your awesome genes! 😡

Best part.... I have to do it every four months... my dental insurance runs out in 2 😱

My dog will not stop smelling my mouth now and it's really starting to annoy me! He could tell I was hurting as soon as I walked in though... love him 🙂

I always get compliments on my teeth and have never really had any issues, but I guess the tooth devil has been taking my mouth health from under my pillow :meanie:. Too bad she doesn't leave me hundred dollar bills to help pay for this ****!😡
 
So much pain in my back. I have scoliosis and it's really painful today. Had to leave the vet clinic early because of it. All I could think about wanting to sit down, so I figured if I had trouble following everyone's conversations, it might just be better to leave.

Also: I need to get my driver's licence. 😳

Ugh I have it as well. And sacroilliac dysfunction. People without back pain don't understand what it's like to be in pain everyday. It makes you slightly crazy. Hope you start to feel better! Take something for the pain and rest in a comfy position 🙁.

I've gone to the doctor in Germany, but he thinks it's not bad enough to do something about it. I've had it twice now that I could literally not walk. First time I missed school for a whole week because I couldn't get out of bed and the second time I almost missed my flight in Germany to come back here because I couldn't stand up long enough. Not bad enough?! 😡

But yes, I think, too, that people who don't have it don't understand it often times. My bf used to think I was just whining. He knows better now after a while of watching me with it.

It's hard to sit (which usually helps, not this time though), so I hope laying down for an hour or two will make it better, because I have a few hours of history and chemistry homework waiting for me that's due tonight.

With my SI dysfunction, sitting hurts, and with scoliosis standing hurts lol... I pretty much just deal with it now that I can't afford my physical therapy and chiropractic appts. 😎
Hope you feel better in time to get some work done! :xf:
 
I've always wanted to go o the chiropractor, but can't afford it.

Thank you 🙂
