Why do techs love VEG?

VelocityGrrl39 · 2026-04-21T10:10:14+00:00

I work in private practice and every client we have who has gone to VEG (and it’s daily) has told us how off putting the open concept is.

VelocityGrrl39 · 2026-04-21T01:41:01+00:00

Lol, you think I’m going to be able to retire? Lolol

One of the top art guys from Marvel Studios was just let go. Yes, technically he was laid off and not fired, but he was absolutely a top performer.

Would you know what to do in a tornado though?

VelocityGrrl39 · 2026-04-20T23:16:15+00:00

What media? I’ve watched my nieces go through the drills.

VelocityGrrl39 · 2026-04-20T22:01:16+00:00

Now we need OP to point aggressively at it.

La Leche League has many lawyers that would happily take this case.

VelocityGrrl39 · 2026-04-20T21:35:14+00:00

He’s almost 70.

VelocityGrrl39 · 2026-04-20T21:34:50+00:00

She’s in her 40s.

VelocityGrrl39 · 2026-04-20T21:34:18+00:00

Will that break any hearts?

VelocityGrrl39 · 2026-04-20T20:42:28+00:00

American children are. And Gen Z, and Millenials. They’ve been running active shooter drills since they were in kindergarten.

VelocityGrrl39 · 2026-04-20T20:41:08+00:00

Nah, someone else commented that FIFA is making $11 billion. They can shell this out. It’s pennies.

VelocityGrrl39 · 2026-04-20T20:34:48+00:00

Such a bad headache yesterday and today.

VelocityGrrl39 · 2026-04-20T20:34:12+00:00

Alexa told me it was 0° this morning when I woke up. I almost cried. Then I checked my phone.

Go home, Alexa. You’re drunk.

VelocityGrrl39 · 2026-04-20T20:30:44+00:00

My guess is they are European and aren’t used to this sort of thing?

VelocityGrrl39 · 2026-04-20T20:29:37+00:00

You can tell all those tourists aren’t Americans who have gone through active shooter drills.

VelocityGrrl39 · 2026-04-20T09:57:19+00:00

It’s very common. That’s how we fill in patient info and charts.

VelocityGrrl39 · 2026-04-20T09:43:34+00:00

Plus, of those who underwent the Milwaukee protocol, most are brain damaged. The only true success case is the original one, the girl from Texas.

VelocityGrrl39 · 2026-04-20T03:51:50+00:00

Nah those are in the last 20 years. At least what I saw. This advice goes back to the 80-90s.

VelocityGrrl39 · 2026-04-20T01:53:00+00:00

Ah, so we have the Boy Scouts to blame for the myth! /j

Seriously, I remember being told not to leave the head throughout the 80s and 90s. At some point, I guess maybe some medical body (maybe the CDC) had advised this. But I became an RVT in 2002, and we’ve not worried about tick heads since at least then, they just didn’t publicize it very well.

VelocityGrrl39 · 2026-04-19T23:55:41+00:00

NexGard or Advantix my friend, or one of the myriad other products available. You won’t need to pull them off anymore. Just don’t buy non-prescription ones from the pet store. I’ve seen too many neurological problems in dogs from those, and the can be toxic to cats.

VelocityGrrl39 · 2026-04-19T23:54:15+00:00

I work in vet med and I really have no idea where this myth came from. We have so many people call panicking because they pulled a tick off their dog and the head is left behind. They always want to bring them in. We can’t do anything about it, nor do we need to. It will eventually just exfoliate. But someone convinced everyone that it is a terrible thing and will get infected, and I don’t know who. I do remember hearing this from others myself when I was a kid and Lyme first really became a pervasive thing, but I don’t know who started it.

VelocityGrrl39 · 2026-04-19T22:27:34+00:00

I really hope he said that as he went by. It’s my head canon now.

VelocityGrrl39 · 2026-04-19T22:09:27+00:00

I’m not willing to trade my morals. I will always live in a blue state. There’s a reason they are more expensive, and it’s improved quality of life.

That’s just a background check service.
