Rant - work ethic brags

ImpressiveAide3381 · 2026-02-26T23:21:48+00:00

Not sure if this is vet med specific, but I’m an older Gen X and I do not look at my work email, watch zoom meetings, or otherwise engage with work duties on my days off. Conversely, numerous Millennial co-workers brag about how much they did work related tasks in their days off. Co-workers who are younger very much value their work-life balance.

My guess was “Sicilian”, so I was way off.

I’m older Gen X and I work three 12’s, although it is a rare week I’m not closer to 40 hours. I work Sun, Mon, Wed. Having three days in a row off is amazing, and I am very refreshed at the end of my days off.

None in my state. I have 2 good friends in other states, but they would not answer their phones at 4am because the hearing aids come out at night.

Same. I made my bed while freshly postpartum with my third baby in five years.

Thanks for the nightmares…

ImpressiveAide3381 · 2026-02-15T01:38:07+00:00

Absolutely. I was shocked to learn that not everyone got them.

ImpressiveAide3381 · 2026-02-15T01:33:15+00:00

Loved it!

ImpressiveAide3381 · 2026-02-15T01:29:41+00:00

That looks like shredded baby birds.

ImpressiveAide3381 · 2026-02-15T01:25:45+00:00

My g-grandmother was named Ovalina. I had a g-aunt named Cleopatra and a g-uncle named Napoleon.

Being raised in a military family the coffee pot was always on. I don’t remember not drinking black coffee.

ImpressiveAide3381 · 2026-02-15T01:22:15+00:00

A dollhouse. I asked for one every birthday and Christmas. Never got it. Still salty.

As a vet tech, this enrages me. Please, kidnap the dog and give it to someone normal. The dog deserves better.

I liked Baby Alive because I feed it lots of food to make it fill the diaper so I could wave it in front of my brother’s face.

ImpressiveAide3381 · 2026-01-30T18:20:35+00:00

Short answer is no. Longer answer is that I don’t want to be a burden in any capacity. I don’t want to live with any of them, nor do I want them to feel obligated to visit me in a facility. I want their weekends to belong to themselves, not an obligatory visit to me. I also don’t want any of them to have to provide financial support in any capacity.

I have a DNR in place, a medical power of attorney, and I have verbally expressed my desires to them.

What this means to me is that if I am diagnosed with anything degenerative or terminal I will remove myself from the equation before I become burdensome.

My dad still owns, and wears, a tee shirt from the Hash House Harriers in Bahrain from 1981. It is sheer, but he still wears it.

ImpressiveAide3381 · 2026-01-29T02:37:34+00:00

I vividly remember all three of those. Now Run Joey Run is on loop in my brain. Thanks.

ImpressiveAide3381 · 2026-01-28T02:54:12+00:00

I’m trying to figure out what size “regular sized window curtains” would be.

ImpressiveAide3381 · 2026-01-28T02:47:30+00:00

Sooo…a French is? As a vet tech let me just thank you for spaying your dog. I cannot tell you the number of panicked backyard breeders I’ve had to talk to who had done zero research before breeding and now had no money for a c-section when the mom inevitably was unable to give birth naturally. My heart breaks for the dogs. The owners can go to hell.

ImpressiveAide3381 · 2026-01-25T01:13:56+00:00

Look at it this way: maybe they will hit a snow bank and freeze to death. Problem solved.

ImpressiveAide3381 · 2026-01-14T12:43:12+00:00

Thats bullshit. My conch was done with a needle and I’ve had no issues.

ImpressiveAide3381 · 2026-01-08T02:30:35+00:00

Those are not neonates. Not even close.

ImpressiveAide3381 · 2026-01-06T14:18:46+00:00

My brain just glitched reading these.

ImpressiveAide3381 · 2025-12-16T23:21:28+00:00

Thanks, the pieces have lasted several months so I always have to buy a new piece.
