I know how you feel. I hate being receptionist. The crappy thing is at our clinic the techs not only prep the room and go in with the doctor but we enter every charge, make all future apt, text messages reminders for all apt, fill all prescriptions and have to figure most doses on our own and get yelled out if we don't know it, pull up all injections, and we have no kennel staff so we have to take care of all that and keep the clinic spotless. If everything isn't perfect we get ripped a new one. I can't wait until Aug 1st!

Mosquitos 😡😡
They serve no purpose other than to make me itch! (Bats can eat moths instead)

Not sure if that is a good thing or bad thing...

It's neither I guess. Your place of employment sounds very unenjoyable and I have similar experiences. The way you described your clinic is the exact way I would have described mine. Which is why I politely declined when they offered to extend my contract.
 
Boyfriend's family trying to micro manage my move to Ohio.... 😡 😡

....If I want to bring my bed 1300 miles on a truck to Ohio, than I am going to do so whether they like it or not!!! HKFHJDSHDJSK
 
Saved the pets 11 straight hours yesterday... Kicked off the morning with the realization that we're shortstaffed, superb. Then a first appointment turned into a gnarly URI for a stray cat, o declined everythin d/t money, backed us up an hour. Add in regularly scheduled appts/surgeries, plus a constipated cat work in, and goodbye lunch. Afternoon kicked in with two work in euths, a watch +++++ cat with an impacted anal gland, and a crap ton of ADR's that required bloodwork/imaging, etc. Knocked the impacted AG cat at 530... STILL made it out by 645 following discharging it/cleaning the clinic/etc. also i had a migraine from 4pm onward.

a solid day of pet saving... it'll get me through this day off. 😉
 
Ok neighbors. I know it's the 4th of July, but it's almost 11 and some of us gotta get up in 6ish hours to get to work. Please stfu with the fireworks soon (which are illegal to shoot off in my county anyway), so I can go to sleep. Thank you.

Having the exact problem. Except I get to sleep a little later.
These are not even wee fireworks. They are the massive shoot up in the air ones.

Yeah they sounded pretty big too. Only boon, took it as an excuse to watch another episode of Once Upon a Time 😛. But now it's quiet, so sleep time...
 
I think my dog loves aspiration pneumonia or something.... he has started coughing again....

if he gets it full blown this will be his 3rd time with it or maybe 4th...

I have to go get antibiotics in a little bit from the vet clinic to try to kill the cough now before it heads south and causes worse stuff....
 
So... I'm supposed to be at work in an hour and it's completely down pouring right now with hail. I already called and said I'd probably be late because I really don't want to drive in this. Our backyard and front street are flooded and it's only been going on 15 minutes. Yay Friday?
 
the whole freaking country is on vacation... except for vetmed.
 
Over this week. Really just done with it.

Other than losing my cat (which was really awful).

I sprained my ankle doing nothing.

My email and facebook were hacked (and they charged my accounts).

Dealing with another cat bite (from my cat while putting in the catheter) and the fun side effects from doxycycline.

So sorry you're having such a lousy weak Dyachei.




The corgi my family adopted back in April just went after my new dog over nothing...at least as far as I can tell. There was no food out or toys. All I can think of is that my guy was under the table and might have tried to get out by pushing past him. No injuries, except a little scratch it looks like on my guy, but I'm really bummed.

I feel like it's ruining my relationship with Hawk, which I don't want to happen. I have no problem separating and doing slow reintroductions, which I plan to ask our trainers for advice on (although if anyone has quick tips to help, they would be appreciated since they're still closed) but I honestly don't trust my family to do things properly. I really don't care if they become the best of buds or not but what seem to be random attacks out of the blue are not okay. Also, I don't want my guy to become afraid of dogs since he's supposed to be good with them.

Just super bummed out because they seemed to be at least tolerating each other but Hawk now seems to be super on edge...doesn't help that my mom is away until Sunday which I'm sure is making it worse.
 
So I found this in the Raves thread from over a year ago...

You sound just like where I was 2.5 years ago! Life was totally in the dumps still living with my good for nothing cheating ex, and I felt trapped without much to do or places to go. Then bam! Random stranger comes out of nowhere and every week thereafter was full of fun and exciting new experiences. Seriously the best time of my life! And 2.5 yrs later my bf and I are as close as ever and talk about our future a lot. Couldn't be happier, but I'd give up almost anything to re-experience the magic that was the first 6 months or so! The too good to be true, must pinch my cheeks and make sure it's not a dream moments that keep happening over and over and over. I'm so happy for you!

I don't know what happened between then and now, but it really feels like my life just crumbled beneath me and I feel so lost. It's been 5 days since the love of my life broke it off with me, and I've never felt lonelier. He said goodbye in person, and at the time I was sobbing so hysterically that I was essentially in respiratory distress for a good hour. He held me and tried to calm me down, but it hurt even more to hear over and over that it's not because he doesn't love me or that i did anything wrong, that it's because he's become very unhappy in this relationship over the past few months and that he doesn't think it's something that can be fixed. I've never been so heartbroken in my life. The next two days I would spontaneously burst into tears the second I was alone outside of the hospital. I'm pretty proud of myself for having held it together and taking care of my patients as if nothing had happened during the workday. This morning was the first time I didn't wake up in tears, and I was pretty hopeful that maybe I wouldn't be crying myself to sleep. My friends were awesome and kept me company tonight. But now that I'm alone, I feel so extremely lonely. What hurts the most is that he was the person I would call when I was very sad or happy about anything and I needed someone to share it with. I would call, and he would make me feel better and everything would be okay. I've had the urge to call/text him multiple times, but I know it's a bad idea and won't do it. But that just leaves me sad and lonely. I just don't know how else to make myself feel better. The worst part of it is that I lost my best friend and my future. I honestly have no idea what to do with my life right now. I thought I knew exactly what I was doing after graduation, but now I'm totally lost.

I told my younger sister, who let the rest of the family know... so at least that's been over with. My whole family loved him so much. Both of our families thought we would for sure be getting engaged as soon as I graduated. My family is worried about me, and as sweet as that is, it makes it that much harder for me.

I know I have no choice but to move on. And so I will. I know that I have a bright future ahead in the profession I love. I know that I will figure out my future. I mean, I have no choice. Graduation is creeping up, so I have some choices to make. I know that. And I'm sure in due time, I will probably be happily in a new relationship. I know that one of these days, I'll be happy again. But it still doesn't hurt any less now. I've been trying to just take it one day at a time, and I've been able to function. But I am so goddam hurt right now.
 
Oh Minners. I'm so so sorry. There's nothing I can really say, nothing anyone can really say, to make you feel better. Just know that I'm here to talk to any time. Feel free to pm whenever. A hundred times a day if you need. I'm here to vent and cry to. If you want to say the same things over and over. If you want to ramble. If you just need to talk, I'm here. Whenever.
 
I love my jobs, and this field...so I'm not sure that this totally qualifies as a rant, but here goes:

I am laying in bed after working at the ER clinic, knowing that I have to be at the day practice where I also work in 4 hours. I hate trying to decide whether to sleep, and risk sleeping in, or to wait for 9 hours and sleep after that shift is over. Again, I love my jobs. But geez, the sun is coming up!
 
Minner I'm so sorry 🙁. And you're right, one of the worst parts is losing the person who always made you feel better at a time you need someone more than ever. That irony just blows. You have a wonderful attitude about it which will help you get through the bad days. Time truly does ease the pain and I hope it passes quickly for you. (And this is my summer break I'm wishing away for you 😉 )

Thanks Ems and Abs. Can't say I'm feeling all that much better today, but there's not much I can do about that. Abney, I'll probs take you up on your offer at some point. We can start planning on our animal hoarding colony 🙂 The good thing is that clinics is so busy that I have very little time to dwell. So most of the day, I'm doing just fine.

Doooo eeeettt! I love to chat. And I'm recently dumped so I'm feelin ya
 
Packing a little more today and I'm feeling super overwhelmed by my stuff... I come from a family of pack-rats and I try so hard not to be them. Time for a drink.
 
I've been away from home for more than a week now dealing with a family emergency. Emergency is over now and we were supposed to go home on Monday or Tuesday, but now we're staying here another week. There's absolutely nothing to do here and I'm bored out of my mind. I've done nothing but sit around the house for a week now and the thought of doing the same thing for another whole week makes me want to scream. I feel like I'm on the verge of a total meltdown right now.

To top it all off, I had plans with my boyfriend for next weekend which I now have to cancel. I haven't seen him in three weeks, I only have a month left before I go off to vet school, and now I have no idea when I'll get to see him again. The thought of spending time with him next weekend was the only thing getting me through this terrible week, and now that's ruined and I have nothing to look forward to. Not to mention that this is the third or fourth time I've had to cancel plans with him recently and I'm worried sick that he's going to get tired of waiting for me and move on to someone else.

I just want to home and go back to my own life. WHY is that so freaking hard for everyone to understand? 🙁
 
I can't find my passport. I have looked everywhere. I have to go to the US in a few weeks. I'm praying it's at my mom's house, but I can't figure out why it would be. 🙁 You know that sinking feeling when you go to get something from where you think it is, and it's not there? Yeah... There's a lot of that right now. 😡

This happened to me the night before my AVC interview....😱

Do you have an expired passport hanging around? A few years ago my wallet got stolen while I was petsitting for someone in Canada (I live about 20 minutes from the border). License, passport, nexus card gone. I was supposed to go back to Canada right after work and my wallet got stolen from the breakroom. The only form of ID I had was an expired passport and I called and was told that an expired passport is sufficient to cross. I used it a handful of times without a problem.

Good luck, I hope it turns up! :xf:

Are you going to come around with us again? lol I think he scared away all the other pre-vets. One girl just stayed in the truck half the day and missed out on a C-section. Lots of interesting stuff going on too. Last week we saw a lamb without an anus. XD
Click to expand...

What?! Why would you possibly stay in the truck during a c-section? That girl definitely missed out.

I've been meaning to call you guys but then all this stuff with my family happened and things were so uncertain that I couldn't really commit to anything. Once I get back next week I'd love to go out with you guys again!
 
I have never cried AT a job before. I absolutely HATE my job right now ajd I cant afford to quit and find another one.
 
Holy cuh-rap. My hand freaking hurts! I squeezed muscle out earlier when I was squeezing the blood out. Heh. Aaaand my stomach hurts something fierce. Pity party for one please!
 
Abney, you really should go get that looked at and get antibiotics. Dont take chances with you hand or fingers. You need those.

Oh yeah thank you! I already did. I knew it was a bad one so I wanted to nip it in the bud for sure! It's so freaking swollen and painful though! Sheesh. (probably why my stomach hurts, abx don't agree with me 😡 )

Good. 👍 Did they give you any pain meds? (maybe try crushing aspirin and making a paste and putting it on it? I've done that with tooth aches, works wonders)

Nope, no expired ones. I think we have to turn in our old ones when we get our new ones. Going to start round two of tearing apart everything I own. Mom says it's not at her house. If I can't find it, I need to drive to Halifax (4 hours drive) to refile a new one because if I mail it, I'll never get it on time. I hate PEI sometimes. (Most times, actually.)
 
i. fracking. hate. migraines. i hate them, i hate them, i hate that i lose my life, and that i can't control them, and that they sucks. i've had the aura for a severe migraine since wednesday, it hit friday night, i took meds and slept, survived work yesterday somehow (only 3 hours anyway), came home and collapsed on the couch in the AC with ice packs on my head. i finally feel like it's diminishing (enough to sit up) but good god i hate them so much. i should revisit the neurologist soon, i think its been about 9 months, but probably due for another MRI. 🙁 GAAHHHHH

👎 I get them bad, too. Thankfully, only a handful of times throughout the year, though.

that's not fun at all 🙁 i'm sorry.

i get 1-2 a month here on the east coast, when i lived in KY/OH i got a minimum of 2 a week... so it's greatly improved since i've been back home for a year, but holy balls this summer is kicking our asses and with the increased heat/humidity i feel like it's gonna be a rough ride for the next couple of months. 🙁 they are so awful.
