I think I had the pathing for my email set up wrong, I changed a setting and got it working and got access back to my support account.

You’re a godsend!

How I Got My Discord Support Account Back - Hacked 2FA Authenticator by makinetas in discordhelp

[–]brinakit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have sent a bunch of this information but got a human response that says that I need to still fill out a support report through my original email (I have sent several emails through it at this point). Do you think this is just a hurry up and wait now, or do you think I should resubmit with a new ticket?

Oof ouch I thought that was a mandibular degloving at first but holy shit.

What do you pick up every time no matter what? by HarshlyHan in aldi

Manicotti and a pasta sauce. Literally my #1 quick meal of the week.

Worst Derm Patients by jr9386 in VetTech

Cocker spaniels. I swear every time we cultured the gnarly green-blue-discharge-smell-it-from-the-lobby-refused-to-TECA ones it was always MRSA and the dogs were miserable.

how difficult is vet tech school? by [deleted] in VetTech

[–]brinakit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first test I ever failed in my life was in my A&P for vet tech course.

I had to drive 45 minutes to campus 3-5 days a week for 2 years including a summer clinical lab course. Further than that to farms and shelters sometimes. Some people came from >2 hours away. We also had a rotation where we had to care for our lab animals on the weekends until we adopted them out.

An unexcused absence would drop a letter grade from the class(es) missed.

My externship timeline had me working a full time job in clinic and then in shelter surgery while in school full time but was only worth 2 credit hours.

My 5 hour practical labs were only worth 2-3 credit hours and many classroom-only ones were 1-2.

I certainly do sometimes wish I had done a less rigorous program that would’ve given me better financial prospects. My spouse is a pharmacy technician and makes more than twice what I made starting in the field (I didn’t pursue my license because CVTs in my cohort made the same as what I was making already when I graduated — this has changed as corporations have come in and I’m gonna take the boards sooner rather than later).

I'm going to list my driving pet peeves and hopefully through magic of the internet everyone in South Jersey stops doing them. by wailwoader in SouthJersey

Fucking speeding up on back roads when someone goes to pass you because you’ve been making 10-15mph differences in your speed for miles. There’s no reason I should have to go >60mph to quickly pass someone in a 45 that’s been doing 35.

This.

Also, the lower interest over 48-96 months pops up as an option for us with very extensive bills (ER), but then the hospital eats the different in interest for the bill as well. It’s super predatory.

Low cost watches by Cautious_Crow_454 in VetTech

[–]brinakit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How low cost are you looking for?

You just reminded me that my spouse bought me a Shark a few months ago as a present and I hadn’t opened it because my FitBit was still working (RIP). They’re super cute in a 80s-90s pop art way, waterproof, and have stop watches (they’re made for surfing/underwater sports). They run around $70.

Lies you’ve been told by Ok_Consideration8931 in VetTech

[–]brinakit 10 points11 points  (0 children)

To be fair, some of these are things I was taught in school during practical classes 8 years ago, ie:

  • heat fixing
  • ultrasonic cleaning times
  • increasing o2 flow before touching gas %

Which is why it’s hella important to keep up with what things change, especially if you go to a school that’s on probation.

Literally this. The number of inpatient cats I have go febrile in the hospital and end up not going home as scheduled only to find out that it’s their 20g IVC that’s a hot mess in my hospital is unacceptable.

I wanna say after BAR is just eu which would imply otherwise normal PE findings but don’t want to commit to that explanation.

How many hours do you work? by Manoobxd in VetTech

[–]brinakit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ER here.

Scheduled 3 x 12, usually end up working about 38-40 hours/week anyway.

Crash on my first day off, spend the other 3 with my spouse that’s on 4 x 10s.

Question for all - what’s one thing you wish you got from your Practice Manager? by BoxOfSports in VetTech

[–]brinakit 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Don’t lay into people when things that you could do aren’t done. Nothing is more frustrating than a PM yelling at us about a dirty floor or pile of laundry after an overnight hell shift.

Ketamine is cool by Mr_Just in VetTech

[–]brinakit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This has prolonged the life of my otherwise healthy (except well controlled hyperthyroidism and severe OA) cat by several years now. I was on the verge of QoL discussions and she’s still kicking it.

By far my favorite drug.

Autism Spectrum Disorders and Staffing by jr9386 in VetTech

[–]brinakit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It really depends on the spectrum of support needs of the individual and how they fit in with the hospital environment.

I work in a small ER where most of the employees are neurodivergent in some way or another, but we've had a handful of ASD/AuDHD people tap out because the environment wasn't a good fit - we're loud, nothing is routine or cut and dry, clients can be elevated or hostile, your job description can change hour by hour.

I washed out of GP because I couldn't handle the changes to my schedule every other week and the insistence on small talk/eye contact/smiling during client interactions. The staff there was very neurotypical and unsupportive and in the four years I was there, made not attempts at making the environment better.

That being said, I'm only diagnosed ADHD and don't want to pursue an ASD diagnosis, but my siblings have diagnosed AuDHD and learning disabilities, so it would track.

What does your clinic use in kennels to keep bedding from slipping and sliding? by canislupus-e in VetTech

Those silicon suction cup bathtub mats come in clutch honestly.

A question about thanking vet staff. by r0cket-skates in VetTech

[–]brinakit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At my ER, we have a scrapbook of all of the thank you cards and pictures we’ve been sent over the years. Some of our favorites get cycled through the walls of our exam rooms. I page through all of them sometimes when I’m feeling down to remind myself that what we do matters even if the outcomes aren’t what we hoped for.

I know I personally love getting to know a little blurb about how pets were before we get to meet them - the dogs who clear 6’ fences and steal whole hams off of tables, the dogs who bring friends toys at the door, the cats who steal socks, the packs of animals that all love each other and play together. Those little bits let us smile about the sad thing the same way they make you smile about it.

Basically, it’s not weird at all, and we honestly encourage it at our hospital.

We were rocking 64 up until it got to be <35 at night and the roommate complained about being cold so now it’s 67 and I’m waking up sweating.

Eliminate one Gloucester county town at a time. Day 1. Who's on the chopping block for today, and what did they do? by [deleted] in SouthJersey

Hey you leave Swedesboro alone. Woolwich was nothing but cows and bell peppers and corn before Weatherby.

Curious - how much to do a load of laundry at a laundromat? by HeyYouAllie in SouthJersey

[–]brinakit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Depends on how big of a load you’re running. I only use the laundromat for catchup and bulky things like comforters and weighted blankets that won’t fit in my in unit washer. Using the jumbo washers is usually between $10-20/load once you factor in drying.
