Emiloo, can you file for a restraining order?

I am mostly worried about my SO who will not file one because "it's [his] brother" :slap:
I'm half a country away so I'm not really worried about me. My SO just promised me he won't be seeing him before he goes back to jail (hopefully for at least 18-24 months according to what we've been told). :xf:

You work for an engineering firm as well, right? :laugh: I'm not an engineer, but I almost wish I was happy with what I have on the purchasing/procurement end. My life would be so much simpler. But if this job has taught me anything, it's that money alone truly doesn't make me happy.

Yes, I work as a mechanical engineer and it is painful. The only reason I'm sticking it out for now is the money - allows us to save and pay for school out of pocket but every week I am happy to be that much closer to leaving! I would be utterly miserable and depressed if I wasn't working towards something I love!! 😀
 
On top of my work woes, some of the gossip got back to me... apparently mean coworker who I ranted about times my lunch breaks and bathroom breaks and has told the supervisor on me. Yes, I'm guilty of going over my time when work is dead. Other people do it to. They also chat for long periods of time in the lab, surf the web, check their phones and take a third break in the morning when they come in a little early (I don't participate in any of those... when I am in the lab, I work... when work is super dead, I finish my tea at lunch or read an article. My bad for not rushing off to stand around and chit-chat or shop online). I skip breaks when I am super busy. I don't take long breaks and then work overtime. I don't take a break at all when I have to come in on weekends. Just a month ago, a few of us were chatting about how dead it is and what we do to pass the time.

I went to see my supervisor and apologize about it rather than stressing about it. I didn't snitch on her. I just explained what they other employee said about my behaviour and that I wanted to apologize and make sure it didn't happen again. She apparently didn't tell him about my break habits and he said what I knew he'd say: everyone does it. Everyone does it in a different way. As long as work gets done, nobody cares. When it's dead, he doesn't blame us. He also said that if this person has an issue with me, it should have went through him.

I was feeling good after that, until I realized that another coworker had a problem with me for taking long breaks. He also said I was "too negative". Which sucks, because I feel like I have done very well handling some of the crap that has been flung my way lately. He is also dealing with a piece of broken equipment. I don't stomp around and scream swear words like he does. He gets snippy at the one of the sample receiver technicians when she brings him samples when he is overwhelmed. I thank her and stop her when she tries to apologize to me. It's not her fault clients bring her samples that have to go on immediately.

I'll be looking for something else. I don't need this job for any particular reason. It's not helping my ultimate goals. If I am unhappy for any reason, I shouldn't have to settle. It doesn't hurt to browse.

Even though it's just a pay cheque, I still take my job very seriously. I do not want
to produce bad data for a client... even though most tests I do are pretty unimportant (suspended and dissolved solids in water samples... I filter stuff, dry it, weigh it and report it).
 
This is a stupid rant, but I HATE when I message someone on Skype and they sign off a few minutes later without responding. It's so unbelievably rude. I know they had to have seen the message/notification when they went to sign off. Would it kill them to take two seconds to say "Sorry, I can't talk right now" instead of just snubbing me?

It happens so often that I'm starting to take it personally. 🙄
 
My genius cat decided to chew on a freaking cactus that my brother bought today. I checked out his fangs and noticed one of his incisors has gum recession and is potentially loose. He's supposed to be my good kitty. His sister is the one with problems. Ugh.
 
I splurged and bought myself a beautiful pair of wood plugs. As soon as they came in today I went to put them in and realized that they're flared at each end and they won't fit.

So I tried a few more times with more neosporin and almost blew my lobes out. I haven't gauged them up in years....yet here I sit with thread tape on my old plugs waiting for my lobe to give way so I can wear my beautiful new jewelry. I didn't want to go any bigger than 6mm.

They were only $10, but still. That'll teach me for trying to have nice things.

Omg I know. I have seen people with blown out lobes, but never have done it myself. I couldn't imagine the pain. I have had a lot of different piercings...some in more delicate places than others...and none of them hurt as much as gauging did .That's why I stopped trying to get them in when I did. Slow stretching is much better. It took me almost 8 months to gauge up to where I am now.
 
Such a stupid petty rant but ya know...

I've been talking to this guy with rentals in Utah. I tell him where I'm from and that I'm unable to get out there until mid May. I work and have school. So he emails back asking if I can come out before mid May. Uh... He's already asked me how much furniture I have and I told him. It's not a crap ton but it's not nothing. So he sends me specs on this diiiiinky studio. Again, uh....... Just frustrating.

Trematode, did I ever tell you that I've spoken with who I presume to be your PI is? If you're still working on apples, that is.

No, you have not.

Unfortunately, that was only a summer student position. They couldn't hire me on after that.

PM me!
 
I have a credit card payment due the first of every month... easy, right? I go online, pay some money on it, takes 20 seconds, except the first of the month will come around and I will tell myself: "Hey you, self, you have that cc payment due TODAY, don't forget!!!" And then I ALWAYS forget about it. I have done this for the past few months and the cc company people are buttmunches (thanks for that word, Jam) and instantly put up a late fee as soon as the day passes and they will NOT re-consider it..... :bang:

It isn't like I don't have the money, just that I get busy and forget about paying it sometimes and then I send the payment the next day because I will be, "What is today? The second... ****EEEE!!!!"

I need to staple a note to my head or maybe tattoo a reminder on my wrist.

Some banks will do automatic transfers for free or a small fee. Set it up to go every 1st. 👍
 
I packed an apple and a granola bar for lunch today so I don't have to step foot in the lunchroom at all.

I do this ALL THE TIME with my rent payment. I keep reminding myself throughout the week that it's due, then on the first of the month I completely forget. Fortunately my rental company is pretty lenient if I get it in the next day.

My credit card is another story. I only use it for big things like car repairs or when my mom asks me to pick something up for her, so we've agreed that she will pay the bill. Only problem is that over the past few months, she's just stopped paying the bill. Doesn't tell me that she's not paying the bill, she just ignores it. Then next thing I know my credit card is getting declined and I have to pay the bill myself PLUS a late fee and my credit score is probably in the tank. It's so frustrating. 😡

Mine used to be 00g, and they returned almost to normal when I took plugs out (I had to kind of reverse stretch w/ smaller and smaller sizes so my ears didn't look weird in the mean time). However, I agree with you- 6mm was the perfect size. When mine were bigger, they got in the way.
 
Being disrespected, talked down to, and treated like a child is definitely my favorite part of vet school. So glad I pay 100K for this.

My main concern is that they won't go back to normal when I decide that I don't love the way they look anymore.

It's just the few in between that treat you that way. Most of our professors and clinicians are amazing and treat us as peers, but there are a few who are just really really rotten, defensive, nasty, snotty people. 👎
 
I am officially looking for jobs again. I applied to one so far and have leads on two others.

Stupid manager didn't order my meter this week.

Meanwhile, sample volume has increased a ton because of the warm weather. It took me 6 hours non-stop to prep 23 samples today (normally it takes me half of that time with the other meter). I couldn't get all of the samples done yesterday, so I did the rest today. I put some more on so I could get ahead for tomorrow.

While I was prepping those 23 samples, 26 came in.

Also, my other work list jumped from like 30 samples to 160.
I have to do those one at a time because the machine that does six at a time broke before I started working there and has not been fixed or replaced.

I cannot get ahead.

I hate working overtime in a job I don't enjoy.
I hate being scared to take breaks because Big Brother will tell the government on me.
I hate that I am not allowed to utter a word about my workload because it is "too negative".

Oh yeah, I have been working full-time for 6 months now. They just now told me how my sick-time and vacation works. I also have flex days that I didn't know about. I was not told this when I switched to full-time. I asked for login information so I can view that information like everyone else can and was told to just go to my supervisor when I needed time off and that I "didn't need" my log-in. I was sick one day and could have taken a sick day but didn't know. I missed out on a day and a half pay!
 
On the tentative job hunt as well. It sucks.



I love my job, but cannot be a part of the direction my shelter is heading. 🙁
 
Was listening to the news and happened to catch my aunt's name. I looked up and saw her house wrapped in crime scene tape.

She got shot and killed last night.

My dad called me a few minutes later to tell me.

I am just sitting here and I don't even know what to do. I need to figure out where her dogs went.
 
Oh my gosh... I am so sorry Mommafox... Sending positive thoughts and prayers your way <3

Momma Fox, I am so incredibly sorry to hear that. 🙁
 
MommaFox, I am so sorry to hear that... my thoughts are with you and your family 🙁
 
Sorry to hear about that MommaFox🙁 My thoughts go out to you and your family
 
Thanks guys. Everything is alright. I'm okay. Sorry to drop a depression bomb but I just wasn't even sure what to do or how to deal.

Her dogs are taken care of and we are just waiting from more details from the police.
 
bahhh stupid oral ulcer (or erosion? stupid path 😉 ) i cut my gum right in front of my right lower canine tues night nibbling on my regulator mouth piece. i nibble when i get nervous - perhaps this will teach me in the future, this hurts!!

and of course this being grenada, i can't get things like lidocaine oral gel or chlorhex rinse...🙄
 
I can't sleep. No matter how hard I try, I can't fecking sleep. I'm beyond exhausted and I'm in physical pain due to severe lack of sleep... I wish I could sleep and stay asleep, I so desperately need the sleep. I'm averaging about 2, maybe 3 hours of interrupted sleep per night, it has been like this since at least January... Ugh.
 
I was just petting my dog and playing with her(not roughhousing). She rolled over, so I started scratching her belly and under her chin like she likes, and then she effin' PEED straight up into the air ALL OVER THE PLACE!!! All over me, the floor, the blankets next to us.

WFT?!
(yes, I know it's submissive urination, she's done it since I got her(on the floor). Hoping she grows out of it, but it's extremely gross and annoying as hell!)

I need you to know that I read this before bed last night and just now realized its the reason I dreamed about having 2 more submissive urinators (I have one already).

Also, dog started puking last night, jumped out of bed, onto my broken foot. OOOOOWWW!! Took my cast off last night for the first time to sleep better. Nice goin. 🙄

And lastly, my manipulative soon to be mother in law :uhno: told the family at Easter (I wasn't there so I just found this out) that she hopes I have an "oops", accidentally get pregnant, and have to drop out of vet school so she can have grandchildren. Thinking of tying my tubes Monday just to spite her.
Someone said, "Don't you think her accomplishing her dream is more important?" She said she doesn't care about my dreams, I'm just a babymaker. $&@(#+^£€%¥ 😡
