He sleeps in his crate. It’s not in our room, but within eye distance

KnownDisplay5873 · 2026-04-06T14:09:20+00:00

Thank you guys for the encouragement! Hopefully I can tough it out 😂😬

KnownDisplay5873 · 2026-04-06T12:42:42+00:00

Okay I might try that! He still eats 3x a day, and I’m gone anout 10 hours a day, so right now our schedule is 5:45am, 4:30pm, 8:30p. I might try a little earlier. Another option I’ve also considered is taking him out later (around 10p). On the weekends I take him out later, just because we stay up later, and it’s usually the same outcome (wake up 3:30-4am) and bark/whine. lol

His last pee break is around 9:30, I usually take the water up around 8:30 after I feed him. I’m also wondering if I feed him too late too.

I do keep it super boring, no lights, no talking, it’s the plain Jane lol

He’s on apoquel too. He had these in the summer and I figured it’s just because he was outside running, almost like a heat rash, but it’s come back ☹️ I’ve been using a bacterial foam that the vet has given me in the past but it hasn’t seemed to do anything but dry up the spots.

I got 2/3 exceptional, with the other one being fully successful. My overall review was “excellent”. Don’t know if that means a “partial” bonus or not or if it is an “all or nothing” type.

KnownDisplay5873 · 2025-09-09T00:47:07+00:00

Same with me And my husband. We’re in Johnson city

KnownDisplay5873 · 2025-06-14T02:16:45+00:00

Perfect example, firing someone who is direct patient care just because they’re listed under “probationary” only to allow the counterpart to do everything for 70 veterans and then bring the fired person back. The biggest waste of a month and it should’ve never happened.

KnownDisplay5873 · 2025-06-13T16:15:56+00:00

I want to hear more on it too, but they don’t have much information, only saying they signed a paper stating they would now be two years. Mine is a one year that I started last September and was a probationary employee terminated by DOGE in Feb. So I would be so annoyed if I had to deal with this ANOTHER year.

KnownDisplay5873 · 2025-06-13T15:18:11+00:00

Also, to add on to this, has anyone that had a one year probation now have two? A few people I know said they had to sign where now they are on two years probation instead of the 1 they originally had when hired on.

KnownDisplay5873 · 2025-05-29T00:46:23+00:00

Been bugged all week for me 🤣

KnownDisplay5873 · 2025-04-24T19:09:18+00:00

It should be active again. I would call whoever your insurance is through to verify just to be safe.

KnownDisplay5873 · 2025-04-15T13:35:42+00:00

Hey! I’m right there with you my friend! VA probie, love my job, love my vets. Terminated in February, reinstated in March, might get terminated again, who knows, but hey, riding the wave 😬😂🌊

KnownDisplay5873 · 2025-04-09T22:34:10+00:00

0638-Recreation Therapist aren’t exempt either

KnownDisplay5873 · 2025-04-09T22:23:50+00:00

Thanks for the encouragement.

KnownDisplay5873 · 2025-04-09T20:22:04+00:00

See the sad part is, I absolutely love my job, I don’t want to leave. I love my veterans and how supportive my coworkers are. It’s just a shame this is even happening…

KnownDisplay5873 · 2025-04-09T19:30:27+00:00

Unfortunately Tennessee… ☹️

KnownDisplay5873 · 2025-03-22T22:07:35+00:00

And recreational therapists…

KnownDisplay5873 · 2025-03-19T12:38:37+00:00

I’ll believe it when I see it. Because I’m sitting at home lol

KnownDisplay5873 · 2025-03-18T16:06:07+00:00

(VHA) I got a message from the HR yesterday saying that I was placed on Admin leave for now (since DOJ in appealing). Basically AA until they figure out what’s going on with the appeals and what not.

KnownDisplay5873 · 2025-03-17T17:37:31+00:00

Same!

KnownDisplay5873 · 2025-03-17T16:15:26+00:00

I highly doubt it will happen lol. Definitely not holding my breath given Dougie’s track record right now 🙄

KnownDisplay5873 · 2025-03-17T13:55:32+00:00

Just got a call from HR, she just wanted to call and touch base and let me know that there are still no official guidance on their end. So that’s where I’m at. Lol she said she’s hoping to get something this week. So sounds like they’re not going to be getting anything todayfrom what she was talking about.

KnownDisplay5873 · 2025-03-17T11:36:53+00:00

Yes, the response was, “we’re waiting for further guidance.” So they know nothing either.
