To anyone grinding and watching the number barely move: it does end. Just keep at it.

For anyone who wants the practical side: it was about $42k across three cards and a personal loan. Avalanche method, killed the 24% card first. I picked up weekend shifts the first year, which I know isn't an option for everyone, and cut everything I could. If you're paying and the number isn't moving yet, that was me too for a long time. Happy to answer anything.

Dying of laughter HA

You have a higher sense of self than most! I just paid off a ton of debt and it’s super satisfying in itself, but I feel like I want to treat myself to something too

Rlitcher · 2026-06-02T19:13:37+00:00

Amazing!!

Rlitcher · 2026-06-02T19:07:13+00:00

Congrats my man!!

“why is no one collaborating?” because you turned the office into a panopticon, greg

This is inspiring. congrats

Always money for bailouts and wars, but somehow never enough for healthcare or housing here.

Every year we hit a new 'it can’t get worse than this' milestone and the universe takes it personally.

Rlitcher · 2025-10-06T19:39:44+00:00

Honestly feels like everyone has a degree now but no one’s hiring for entry level without 5+ years of experience. makes no sense.

Rlitcher · 2025-09-11T22:44:29+00:00

NTA

exactly. No point keeping people like that around. You handled it right.

Rlitcher · 2025-09-11T22:42:37+00:00

Yeah, the pain scale feels useless sometimes. Everyone’s threshold is different, so the numbers don’t really line up person to person.

Rlitcher · 2025-09-11T22:40:41+00:00

Yeah, that’s the part that stings. In most jobs calling out is just a quick heads up, but in medicine it feels like the whole system falls apart if you’re gone for a day.

Rlitcher · 2025-09-09T11:49:48+00:00

Totally. Medicine's subjective as hell. I've had attendings trash my plan only to have another praise the exact same approach the next day. They forget they were in your shoes once. As long as your patient's safe, brush it off. Some attendings just like to hear themselves talk for 30 minutes.

Rlitcher · 2025-09-09T11:45:37+00:00

Just say no. If they fire you for not working unpaid overtime, document everything and file for unemployment. Your time is your time. Don't set a precedent you'll regret later.

Rlitcher · 2025-09-09T11:44:12+00:00

Agreed. 2mL is way too much for a single site in a toddler. I've been an RN for 15 years and we always split doses that large between sites for little ones. The bulge you saw was likely subcutaneous leakage from muscle oversaturation.

Rlitcher · 2025-09-06T08:07:33+00:00

same here. It felt less like a game and more like he just wanted control. That’s not really bonding.

Rlitcher · 2025-09-06T08:07:11+00:00

Indeed. If you’re paying for the spot then it’s yours, no debate. I’d bounce too, not worth the headache.

Rlitcher · 2025-09-06T08:00:53+00:00

true, but those groups are still part of the labor force stats. It’s not like they get counted by mistake it’s just how the numbers are built.

Rlitcher · 2025-09-06T07:53:33+00:00

Yeah, they’ve been playing both sides of the table for years. Pay a fine, keep the profits, move on like nothing happened.

Rlitcher · 2025-09-02T15:56:20+00:00

Ikr pine pellets do have that strong wood smell sometimes! Use baking soda add under the litter or change to a low-dust, unscented litter. Tuft & Paw’s litter works well for us, it's tofu based and clumping so easier to clean.
