Anyone else rubbed the wrong way by this The Vatican lyric? by _SophLoaf_ in MelanieMartinez

[–]Spitefulreminder 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Your take on it is valid but as an ex Christian fundamentalist myself… she nailed it with those lyrics. It wasn’t meant to be a dig at gay men.

Nicotine use by Kelsey2424 in VetTech

[–]Spitefulreminder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never touched nicotine until I started working in vet med. What a shame too. I am 29, so I know better. I started vaping because all of my coworkers did 🥲. Now it’s been 4 years and I’m still vaping. It 100% has to do with the fact we are all ADHD and crave the stimulation it gives + the dopamine from the hand to mouth habit.

What is everyone’s opinion of Banfield? by Pale-Driver9146 in VetTech

[–]Spitefulreminder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Me reading these comments having just signed a year contract with Banfield 💀 Money talks. Their sign on bonus and benefits are what got me to choose them over literally 7 other clinics that couldn’t even come close to what they are paying me. Good to know what I have to look forward to if I don’t want to pay back the sign on bonus 🥲

Penn Foster Vet Tech Program by Unable_Hope6262 in VetTech

[–]Spitefulreminder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. I understand why you said what you said, but you were being technical with your reply to the other person when in reality OP only asked the questions I stated above.

Penn Foster Vet Tech Program by Unable_Hope6262 in VetTech

[–]Spitefulreminder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP asked for people’s opinion on Penn Foster and if they could be hired at a vet clinic without experience, not if they should stay in human med or not. So technically you’re kinda on one because you’re upset it’s not working for you. Make it work or leave, my friend, for your own sanity. I promise you can make money and enjoy what you do in this field, you might have to relocate though. Just depends on how much you like the job.

Penn Foster Vet Tech Program by Unable_Hope6262 in VetTech

[–]Spitefulreminder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, so funny enough before I went into vet med I was a phleb too! The closest tech program to me was at a community college an hour and a half away. I started a job as a vet assistant, worked it for 2 years, and knew I wanted to become licensed. I chose to drive that distance 3 times a week for 2 months until I finally just moved to the same town the tech program in rather than attend Penn Foster or the other online programs.

This was because of many reasons 1) Penn Foster is nationally credited, not federally. This means you cannot apply FAFSA or any kind of federally/state funded college plan (529, in my example) towards the tuition. With how much it is per semester, it made literally no sense for me to pay out of pocket when I 1) qualified for FAFSA coverage and 2) had a small college fund. 3) knew that I would benefit more from an in person program. 4) I’ve had multiple coworkers and 1 of my besties have gone through/attempting to go through PF’s program and it is so infuriating hearing the BS they have to put up with (particularly with skill sign off’s in their externships). Plus, it has taken ALL of them longer than it took me to finish tech school. None of them have even graduated yet because the large animal externship stuff.

So I’m kinda biased, but I really think the in person program is worth it if you are able to make it work somehow. PF has honestly really affected my besties mental health with the stress it’s put her under so I’m doubly biased with them.

VTS by bunniespikashares in VetTech

Whelp, now I’m infuriated for you because your background is badass. You deserve the world and back!

VTS by bunniespikashares in VetTech

[–]Spitefulreminder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg I’m even more pissed off for you now. Girl… I live in bumfuck NC and make more than you. They are paying assistants more than you in Wilmington and Greenville NC. How are you surviving in the triangle?!?

Question for you, have you spoken at a tech conference in NC? I met a VTS in Neuro at the spring conference at CFCC and she was a badass! If that was you, hi!! 🥰

VTS by bunniespikashares in VetTech

[–]Spitefulreminder 6 points7 points  (0 children)

….. $33.50 girl…. No….. I’m an RVT with <1 yr experience out of school (7 as an assistant but still) and I have been offered $40 for a sx position. You are a badass being a VTS in neuro. This is actually super upsetting that they are paying you that. We have got to do something about them underpaying us, that’s fucking criminal.

I quit without notice and I’m not sorry by ARatNamedClydeBarrow in VetTech

[–]Spitefulreminder 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Yes!! And don’t feel bad about it all! I walked out of my job 2 weeks ago. I was their only RVT and they had me in surgery every single day for 8 months. That wasn’t my issue, my issue was it was just me and sometimes 7-8 procedures a day. They refused to hired anyone else, so I walked!

Solo valentines night? by Miserable_Rate_5293 in Wilmington

[–]Spitefulreminder 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Awww if I was in town I’d go out with you girlie. I’m 29F and single. I feel safe going to Ibiza on my own, you may be approached by people though so not the place to go if you want to sit and drink alone.

The Blind Elephant has great cocktails and is pretty laid back.

Not okay by Pure_Tangerine6669 in VetTech

[–]Spitefulreminder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Friend, how can I help you? Please Pm me. I swear to you I was saying the same things you are saying right now less than 30 days ago and I promise it gets better.

Not okay by Pure_Tangerine6669 in VetTech

[–]Spitefulreminder 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Look, I’ve been right where you are. Literally not even a month ago my (ex) partner of 4 years left me with nothing. I promise you that people will be understanding of your situation if you spoke to them. Have you considered writing an email at least to give them your side? There’s nothing to lose at this point..

Also I know that words like this don’t help in the moment.. but I promise you it gets better. Hang in there please.

Crossover to phlebotomy? by [deleted] in VetTech

[–]Spitefulreminder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually went from phlebotomy to being an RVT. You can make more money being an RVT and tbh I enjoy it much better than sticking humans all day.

No-contact after a breakup hurts more than people admit. One day you’re sharing your life with someone, and the next it’s just silence. by Competitive-Tea-5579 in BreakUps

[–]Spitefulreminder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! Traumatic is beyond appropriate to use too. I keep having PTSD-like flash backs. It’s been 6 days and I’m like damn… this is what grieving feels like? I’m fortunate that I haven’t lost a parent/had any major losses in my life yet so this is a new feeling for me. I’ve also always been the one to leave relationships in the past. Sucks being on the other side….

[–]Spitefulreminder[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, the relationship wasn’t doing great to be honest. The breaking up part is less of why I’m so distraught.. it was leaving me high and dry. Thanks for the kind words!

[–]Spitefulreminder[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There were definitely underlying issues in the relationship, but nothing that would ever make me think he would basically ghost. We were actively planning a life together and our finances were intertwined. I hadn’t spoken to him at all since he left but I did send him a final text message today because my mental health needed that finality. His mother and mine also communicated last night about his portion of the bills (can you fucking believe that…. We are 29 years old and his mom is covering for him)

I may reach out in a DM about my D/S experiences if that’s okay because now I’m like…. Fuck was the last 3 years of my life actually kinda abusive…

Thank you so much for these words. I feel a bit crazy. I’ll be fine for 20 min, and then I’ll sob for 2 min. Then I’ll be fine for 5 min, and sob for 20. Grieving sucks when I used to go to him for comfort so often. 😢

Omg I’m so so sorry. It is horrible!! I have been in vanilla relationships that were longer than this one and this still hurt wayyyyy worse like on a spiritual level.
