RANT HERE thread

I was recently diagnosed with eosinophilic esophagitis and now will have to be on two medications for a very, VERY long time. Allergy testing in two weeks to see what food or environmental allergen(s) is the culprit 🙁
 
Oh goodness. There is too much sadness on here for me to handle currently. I suck at comforting words, but all I can really say is that nothing or anyone could ever make any of you *less* of a person. Whether that be a test score, a breakup, a job loss, any of it. Life sucks so much and while I can't understand what y'all are going through completely, I've been getting hit with the brunt of it myself. This is a great community and none of us are doing this alone! Sending all of you happy thoughts.
 
I had four clients today whose spouses had either recently died or had been diagnosed with a very, very serious illness. They were all very nice clients, and it was all quite sad. One client felt embarrassed that her dog's vaccine was overdue and that he hadn't been groomed yet for this summer. I tried to gently reassure her that it was nothing at all to be embarrassed about, as professionally as I could, but I really wanted to say OMG who gives a sh-t about the dog's haircut when your husband is XYZ?!?. Very nice people going through a whole lot. All showing up on the same day within 2-3 hours of each other. WTF, universe. Are you telling me to be more patient with my husband or something? You could've been a little more subtle, you know.
 
Super minor rant but I keep forgetting to pick up the cat food I ordered and it's been there for like 3 weeks now... the distribution time was from 5-6pm and for the first time in ages it feels I actually got out before 5 so I happily drove home in rush hour traffic without a care in the world, only to realize I'd forgotten it yet again. We're scraping the barrel at home... I hope I don't have to resort to buying full price food just because I keep missing the dang distribution times.

It smells really, really strongly of dead, rotting animal outside of my lab building. I don't have a sensitive stomach (or nose) but walking to the building from my car made me gag. Can I sleep under my desk instead of going home?

Dead animal smell is awful.

However, the worst thing that ever happened to me during a necropsy was when a coworker pointed out that the dead dog smelled like onions. It still makes me gag when I think about it.

We had one of those too! From an aggressive dog spraying it everywhere. Then I gave it drugs. I like drugs. 🙂

Ours was a farkin' spaz-brained Weimaraner. Also gave drugs. Drugs were not as effective as one could hope, but we managed to get the job done. I was smelly for the rest of the day though. Thankfully no more appointments after that.

Yeah, drugs weren't very effective in this one either, I had to add more and give ISO. Little poodle mix thing.
 
Put in an online request for gas service. 3 days later, still haven't heard back. I tried calling -- "Your expected call wait time is 120 minutes."

Nope.
 
Ugh. I've been looking for car insurance quotes online and Farmer's has spam called me like fifty times since I looked up their quote. I blocked all of their (three!!!) numbers and they are dead to me.

I'm just trying to get something that's mandatory for me to have, calm the *@#&^%*=+~%$@%*$+ down and leave me be.
 
When 5 years is reduced to the distribution of stuff and your ex SO won't even look at you or talk to you. And you hurt for them... because you don't hate them but now they hate you. It sucks, it sucks so hard
 
So sad. This gentleman's PTSD dog is so very sick and there isn't much we can do. Constrained by finances and such. But I could just see the strength in their bond. Such an emotional room.

Sending you all the hugs, Jam. I'm so sorry 🙁
 
Had one of those shifts where most things were a struggle for no reason. I ended the shift with trying to call a lab follow-up and having the client's kid answer the phone each time and hang up on me. :annoyed:
 
Moved up here almost a week ago and I feel so lonely already. 🙁 I definitely have friends up in Fort Collins (and I've already hung out with a few of them since I've come up!), but I really miss my mom and not being able to talk to her in person really hurts. I tried to call her earlier tonight, but she's at Disney World with my stepdad and I didn't even get two rings in before her phone went to voice mail.

Add that to the seemingly never ending cleaning I have to do in this apartment and it's really stressing me out. I want to have my friend over again, but I get really embarrassed and anxious when my place is dirty and I don't think I can deal with that right now.

I'm just having a lot of flashbacks to desperately trying to clean my whole house while my dad re-filled every clean space with junk as soon as I finished. Sometimes I would clean the whole kitchen for literally 10-12 hours and wake up the next morning unable to see the counters again because he filled it with junk overnight. I am very good at cleaning and organizing huge messes because of this, but it gets overwhelming to do it because I haven't lived with my dad in four years and have gotten so used to having a space that I don't have to fight to keep clean.

I know it'll stay clean once I'm done, but there's always that thought in the back of my mind that I'll wake up and it'll be dirty again. :sorry:

This ended up as a much longer rant than I was intending, but... whatever.

Put on some fun music to lift your mood while you clean?

10-12 hours cleaning one room? You have lived my greatest nightmare. I'm so sorry. 🙁

I'm right there with you. I didn't have to talk to any annoying kids though 😛
 
I made the schedule. Doesn't matter - still couldn't remember what shift I'm working tomorrow, so I had to drive back to work and find out. At 9 pm, after a long day and long biochem exam, before anyone had been fed (cats, dogs, me). Sigh.

Went through this with an ex prior to my husband. When I walked the dogs he followed me crying and begging me to take him back. When I moved out he locked himself in a room and said and did nothing. It was so incredibly difficult but it was the best decision in the long run. Stay tough and know that it will get better with time 🙁

I just moved away from FoCo. I would have loved to have met you!

Now I just get tormented on Facebook and WhatsApp by my friends going to breweries and enjoying town without me.

If you need something to do or want to meet more people, I can help there even from here. And if you are looking for volunteering options with either small or large animals, I can help there too. (If you want to volunteer doing a ton of Spay/Neuter work and work so hard you forget your troubles... I will send you to Sara. She will definitely help.)

Hey, @kaydubs any improvement on the migraine front? You mentioned in WW that you were in the hospital a few times last week

Hey still a work in progress. You actually reminded me to call my neurologist. I had my neck adjusted last week but I would say I'm now coping with the idea of living with low level chronic head pain that sometimes manifests as a migraine to end all migraines. Thanks for checking!

Haha yeah, it's definitely not something I recommend doing. Any time I wanted a birthday party or a nice holiday it was like a week long ordeal of cleaning to even remotely get there, and that was with rooms that we explicitly roped off and didn't allow people to enter because they were floor-to-ceiling junk. -11/10, do not recommend. It's been significantly better since my dad moved out and we moved to another (smaller & easier to clean) house.

I've just been taking breaks when I get too overwhelmed and watching cute TV shows on Netflix. It helps!

This is exactly what it is! I don't usually get homesick at all, but for the past six months or so it's been hitting me hard whenever I'm away from family.

Also, I've gotta ask - which organization did you do spay/neuter work with? The only place in town that I'm vaguely familiar with who does it regularly is the cat rescue, but I'm sure there's many others.

Thanks for the positivity, everyone. I needed it. :biglove:
 
+pissed+ Dealing with financial aid at my new school is turning into quite the frustrating experience. Everyone in the office there is super nice, but mistake after mistake is being made with my aid. I'm tired of calling and sitting on hold for ages just to be told there was an error and I need to just be patient until they fix it and they don't know why it happened, only to have another new error happen.

Have they diagnosed anything?

I just got off the phone. Altering my meds a bit but I've got migraines :sorry:

I get them as well but I have mine pretty under control with exercise and a low dose anti-depressant. I still get low-grade migraines that last for days but I'm still able to function. But one of my best friends gets really bad migraines that take her down for a few days and require a trip to urgent care. She's been getting Botox every 3-4 months for a few years now and it's decreased the frequency substantially. Maybe that would be an option for you since yours are so severe?

Migraines are the worst thing ever, I wouldn't wish them on my worst enemy :dead:

I'm on an anticonvulsant. I'm going to try another preventative but I'm definitely considering the Botox injections. I'm trying some natural supplements too. Thanks for the suggestions!

Hey--sorry to hear you're still suffering with this awful condition (as am I). Finally found a combo of meds that seems to work for me. Feel free to message me on FB if you want to vent. I know how much it sucks 🙁

Reading all your plans makes me jealous. My big summer plans might involve buying a set of new tires. If I decide to get real crazy I might replace my windshield too!
Click to expand...

So in March I made this comment about tires for my car. Wife told me to stop pouring money into my car because I need to get something newer. During to work today in rush hour traffic my rear tire blew out. I'll have to figure out what's wrong with my alignment, only the tire that blew had worn bald.


But I lived, still made it to work on time, and got tell my wife "I told you so". Maybe this should have went in the rave thread lol.
 
If a long term friend is willing to dump you because you called them on their bluff, was that ever really a friend? What happened to just telling each other the truth? I'm genuinely worried this person will never grow up and learn to have a mature discussion.
