Had to help a little boy say goodbye to his dog last night. It was a tough one...

Yet, it usually seems that they handle it best.

My husband is trying to pick fights over everything today. I don't know what his deal is. I am trying to study for my bacteriology quiz tomorrow but I can't focus because he has literally found four things to fight over, from me not having done the dishes yet today to me asking him to leave money in our bank account so that I can get gas tomorrow. Apparently now I just use him for his money (he is a firemen- they don't make a lot of money).He made me cry and then told me to quit crying and act like an adult. All I want to do right now is study but I can't focus. Oh, and I'm lucky because the only thing I have to worry about is school while he worries about everything else. 😡 I'm really tempted to tell him to take a freaking midol.

I'm so sorry, Lissa. That bites when there's another stressor in the situation. I really have no advice, except maybe tune him out and take some me time at a coffee shop to study? I always need to get away to cool down before I flip my lid. It always seems like the grass is always greener, and he might not be seeing that it's just as muddy brown without the rainfall we should have gotten this year.

OT: I thought firefighters made little money, but can't they make really good money after a while? Meaning after years of service and promotions (and when I mean good money, I mean better than vets lol)

Maybe it's only in big cities like LA and NYC where there's an increased chance of danger.

Over time he can make decent money. I think the average fireman's salary is 42k or something close to that. He is in his first year at this department so yeah, a lot less than that. Fire chiefs make a lot more than that but that takes a long time to do. Retirement pension is where the money's at but that's like 25 years down the road

Yeah, my stepfather is a fire chief, and is eligible for retirement already but just waiting around until my mom is eligible to retire from her crappy job that she hates so that they can sell their house and basically become vagrants living nowhere long-term and just traveling all the time. It sounds like they will be all set!

Sorry your husband is being a dick Lissa. Hopefully he just shoves a tampon in it and shuts up until he gets over whatever little hissy thing is actually bothering him.

 

[Lissarae06]

Thanks guys! Unfortunately, I have another rant. I ordered something from amazon. It didn't qualify for 2 day free shipping. Whatever, no big deal. It got here today which was sooner than I thought. I open up the package and it's the wrong thing! It's the same type but wrong brand. I got on amazon to see what the difference was. The thing I bought was $5 more than what they sent. I'm a cheap ass so it pissed me off. Also the brand I received had horrible reviews. Ugh! Get your **** together amazon seller. Now I have to wait for the seller to approve the return before I can even send it back.

Aw, Lissa, what a crappy day. Sound like captain crankypants is just bitchy in general today and it has nothing to do with you.

My husband gets like that, too, and I've found (for us) the perfect way to diffuse the situation: I flash him.

He usually stops whatever he is bitching about for enough time for me to give 'em a little wiggle and make us both bust up laughing. Warning: this did not work 10 years ago, though my lady bits were better then!!

Ok, so I just need to share that I do the exact same thing!!! And it really does work 😳... CC: confession thread.

I guess there is still a lot about life that I have yet to learn..

 

[TigerWillow]

Ridiculous. This thread just got ridiculous!!! 😀

 

[wildcatj]

The head vet/owner of the practice I work at breeds bengals with her partner. So she had a cat that is a first time mom give birth over the weekend. Mom laid on top of two of the babies and killed them, and then stopped nursing two of the remaining four one after another.

So said vet was taking care of the two that weren't being fed. She was tube feeding them because she insists they wouldn't take a nipple (which she didn't try), but the little guys don't like the nipple at first, it's not mom, it sucks until they realize milk comes out of it.

She wasn't feeding them often enough, wasn't keeping them on enough heat. So then today she decided she wanted me to take them. Now these are $1000 a piece kittens, so I was a little reluctant to put in a whole bunch of time and energy just so she could sell them in the end. But obviously when it comes to kitties I can't say no, so I agreed, but at this point these guys look like crap.

So one of the other vets who is my mentor and who raises a ton of kittens every year had told her last night to give them to me, but owner vet hadn't wanted to then. So now mentor vet looks at them today and says they are going to die and I shouldn't take them because I'm just going to slave over them, they are going to die, and then I'm just going to be upset. She was furious with owner vet for not taking better care of them, and told her if she had given them to me last night they would have been fine (which is awkward as you can imagine). So I don't know if owner vet took them home or mentor vet took them, but either way it's just a sad situation that is going to end in dead kittens. Bleh, today just stunk.

Haha this is so great! I'm totally telling my gf if she ever wants to stop a fight this is the way! I highly doubt she'd ever go for it though 😛

Yeah good luck with that. And just, by the way... it doesn't work the other way around... we don't wanna see your shiz 😎

 

[TigerWillow]

🤣

Imagine wiggling that around. OMG can't take it anymore... need to focus on something else lol!!!

Just saying, but it has made me giggle in the middle of a fight before.. 😀

Hahaha I told my bf about this thread and he thought it was a great idea! But I have to say if he started whipping it around when I was mad at him I might bust out laughing, so maybe it would work lol🤣🤣🤣

 

[psilovethomas]

I will acknowledge it on my own terms, thanks.

Lol great idea. I will definitely try that trick next time

 

[that redhead]

Four day break that I can't go home for. I should study but I have zero motivation. I think I'll drive in to school and force myself to sit there and study for a couple hours but ugh. Do Not Want.

Sorry to bring this thread back into reality, but thought a few of you might like to know how the 'huge, horrible, ugly' chem test went. Here it is in a nutshell:

Hand drawn lines with letters - no line diagrams.

Misspellings of terms - Enantionners anyone?

Pharmacology questions (hello!?!)

Which of these alcohols magically turn into X? No other info, just pick an answer.

Biochemistry questions on the physical actions of carbohydrates. Joy!

Essays asking things that make it clear the test was written by a madman. I'm simply hoping that I answered enough for partial credit.

I should have my results in about 2 weeks.

this makes me sick. sick angry and hurt. what is wrong with people, seriously.

 

[twelvetigers]

That sounds terrible. I encourage you to let the admissions know how relevant you felt the test was - like, was it a good indicator that you had taken chem and then refreshed it in your mind well enough to pass? If it really was just a pile of random and seemingly irrelevant crap, tell them nicely that they may want to consider exploring some other way for a person to refresh their old prereqs.

I hope it went well enough for you to eke by, at least. I want you here this fall!

Boo hiss. I'm sure you're not the only one ranting about this exam. I'm sure there will be a nice grade adjustment in your favor. I'm not too familiar with the set up--was it online? in class?

[Emiloo4]

Dude just hit me with a bunch of low-blows in a meeting about shiz he has NOOOOO clue about! He is a worthless piece of crap and they have been trying to fire him for 13 years (It's hard to fire someone where I work). Departments literally shove him onto each other bc he is literally good for NOTHING! So dude thinks he's gonna hit me with low blows today... too bad they've already cleared out his desk for him tomorrow! Don't let the door hit ya on the way out! 🙄

I can't help but think in the back of my mind, how much I wish this could happen for Dyachei too 🙁

 

[LMMS]

Emiloo - 👍 on seeing the last of that guy!

Moving on...

That you rocked the test!!! Let us know when you find out the results!!!

Thanks much. I will be sure to report back once the results are in - hopefully on the rave thread.

Thanks, TT. I did consider contacting them today to tell them the contents of the exam. However, I've decided rather to wait until I get the final word. I would hate to, by some miracle, have them call me with an acceptance, find out I squeaked by on the exam, and then have to do some other god forsaken chemical ritual in order to qualify for admission. So, I think that sitting tight is the way to go right now.

Boo hiss. I'm sure you're not the only one ranting about this exam. I'm sure there will be a nice grade adjustment in your favor. I'm not too familiar with the set up--was it online? in class?

Really, I don't know. Apparently, they haven't had someone sit for this particular exam in YEARS. Could be why it was so antiquated. For your notes... This was an examination the medical school I work for gives to pre-health professional students that want the chance to 'test out' of a lower level course. This was their test for 'General Chemistry II'. **You may now put your eyes back in your head.** I actually took the exam in a deserted office in the back of the continuing education department. The coordinator there is a riot - she lead me into the room and when I tried to put my coat down she told me to use the chair because the only flat surface she dusted was the desk I was about to sit at. The nice part was that I was the only one taking a test today; so I was allowed to talk my way through the questions that I needed to.

Oof. 🙁

That's a good word. Kinda how I felt at the end of the 2 1/2 hours. Thanks.

I appreciate the thought👍. I am currently searching for new employment in the FL area and have a couple of leads. Nothing promising yet, but I'm going to keep trying.

I did have a deal with another vet who owns his practice - he would match up to my current salary if I could go part time with the current clinic and work 2 days a week for him. But they pretty much said "we'll see" on that - which probably means no.

I can't complain for once about mine... finally! He has really turned around the last few months. Of course it helps that he is at work and school all day and I don't have to see him all the time

 

[Emiloo4]

Ok.... whoa!

Apartments searching today, I called a place and asked their pet policy. The lady said the price varies based on the dog's size because......
"BIGGER DOGS GIVE OFF MORE HEAT" 😏

Unless you're paying my electricity, why the hell does that matter?

I literally can't stop laughing about it. And then... after I "hung up" with the lady, me and a girl I'm working with were making fun of how stupid it was and we heard "hello?" on the speaker phone... I never hung up 😳 hehe.

Didn't you break up with him just a month ago? Or something?

 

[Emiloo4]

Didn't you break up with him just a month ago? Or something?

Yeah early February. Things have been awesome, not holding my breath, figured I have 3 more months to figure it out so we'll see. Not overly optimistic for the long haul, but so far, everything's been good.

 

[psilovethomas]

Bahahahaha!!!!!!!! That's ******ed!!!!!!!!!

Use a better word next time.

Rant: My check engine light is on and my cruise control light is flashing. Awesome. I need my car on Friday to pick my boyfriend up from the airport, which is like 80 miles away. Hopefully it is a quick fix. Won't be able to get it to the dealer until Monday. Ugh.

Also, my boyfriend has been toying with the idea of moving up here to live with me. I wish he would make up his mind so I could find someone to take my lease and find a new place to rent.

It really is a bad week. I think I might be getting dumped for our 6 year anniversary. I can't say much right now since I'm still at work and just thinking about it makes me cry. I've been pretty good so far without breaking down. Just 3 more hours and then I can officially breakdown....
