This is an Alter obviously.
So I had a file review with my in state after talking to the dean of admission that is was unlikely that I would get called off the wait list. Apparently there is going to be less people called off this year then average on past years. (Of course cause I am on it).
Talking to him, I had a letter of reference which was considered less then stellar. Something along the lines of me needing more experience in both vet med and life. I submitted 5 letters in total and all others were considered excellent references. I know who wrote the bad letter by process of elimination. The owner of the clinic I work at now. I AM BEYOND pissed off over the whole thing as the dean said that this was essentially the only reason I am not going to be sitting in vet school this year. Why couldn't they look at the other 2 veterinarian references that were fabulous and think hey maybe this vet is just a jerk.
I am seriously ready to quit my job over this. First off the enviroment in this clinic is HOSTILE. Techs out to get techs, techs out to get vets, vets out to get vets, kennel staff out to get receptionist the list goes on. People will find something wrong with a blood work submission and just leave it so that, they person who made the mistake gets what they deserve. No thought for skewed results or lost reports. Ex employees are talked about like scum including past veterinarians whether they quit or were fired. Rumors spread like wildfire. Staff members are in tears on a daily basis.
I ask for the letter of rec about 4 months into working there everything seemed to be going good. Then I would get yelled at in rooms infront of clients because I didnt know something like how many mls are in an ounce. Which would be quickly followed by "and she wants to go to vet school." No matter what I did it was wrong. I was in the bathroom in tears constantly. It escalated until I got an irritate phone call from my boss about my attitude. Telling me that I wasnt ready to be a veterinarian and all this other stuff that was what I considered inappropriate espeically at almost 10 at night from a boss to an employee. My letter of recommendation was submitted at the beginning of this whole tense relationship.
Boss finally stopped scheduling me as his tech and I became happy again working for the other veterinarians they all loved me and would ask repeatedly why Boss really didnt like me. I could never figure it out.
So fast forward Boss has started scheduling me with him again ALL the time. I hardly work with anyone else. He jokes, praises me and tells me I do a good job now. Told me I progressed faster then most techs. I've managed to make it over a year at this clinic which is far longer then most. Now I don't think I'm going to be able to even look at Boss again. I am so furiously, angry, sad, mad, pissed, and vengeful its not even funny. I want OUT now.
I had an interview with an OOS school and the questions they ask me blew my mind. I came out wondering why they ask what they did. Now I know.
Im on another OOS wait list and plan to call next week and tell then that I now have a year of experience at this clinic. The one that gave me a horrid letter, how is that for toughing it out.
I want to fing.
I want out SOOOOO BAD. Tell me its okay to quit.
yes somehow they made sex the most uninteresting and difficult thing ever. thanks vet school!!
Drinking helps in any situation!
