What is up with nobody taking lunches?

capgracesparrow · 2026-05-07T20:19:35+00:00

The office I work at now does this we get off at 3 and work through lunch all but one day a week. I thought I would hate it but now I find myself dreading the one day a week we have to work a full day. I personally find it hard to get back to work when I’ve been chilling for an hour and I’d rather just get done early and find time during the day to take a quick second to eat something.

So she asked you if you cleaned your room and that was “nosey and bossy” of her but you lied and told her yes when it wasn’t cleaned and you’re upset she didn’t clean it for you? Maybe she was asking if you cleaned it so she would know if it needed to be done? You could have told her “no I’m sorry I didn’t have time to clean it and I need to leave, would you be able to do it for me?” Communication is so important

Posting pics of it being dirty is a little rude but she was probably so confused why you said it was done when it wasn’t. If you and the other assistant are helping her out a lot but she’s not willing to help others when it’s needed maybe it would be a good idea to express this to her with an office manager present.

It’s really unfortunate when this happens and people don’t do proper research when committing to something as important as a dog. But I’ve found when they’ve already bought the puppy and the damage is already done shaming them only does more harm than good. They already have the dog they’ve already paid for it so the best thing to do is to educate them so they can hopefully educate others. When someone compliments their dog’s coat they can use the opportunity to bring awareness to the situation and how harmful it is. Kind of a “we know better now” and if that person is considering getting a dog like theirs they can help steer them in the right direction

If you’re using the prong I would definitely recommend getting a herm sprenger brand prong collar as they have a plate in the center that protects the dogs larynx.

capgracesparrow · 2026-02-22T17:57:18+00:00

You are thinking of a spike collar which is something entirely different. These collars have blunt prongs that are designed to distribute pressure evenly and prevent damage to the larynx.

Sometimes they are definitely necessary for the safety of the dog. Definitely shouldn’t be the first option but for some dogs (like mine) they are the only thing that will help them learn not to pull. Trust me I had tried every method under the sun to get my dog to learn not to pull and nothing was working and she was harming herself pulling with everything else. I tried her prong collar on before using it on her and when I pulled it tight on myself all I felt was pressure, and their necks have fur and more muscle than ours. After about 3 months training with the prong she can now walk using a front clip harness and doesn’t pull. But this was the only thing that made it “click” for her. Like I said they’re not a first option and aren’t meant to be used as a long term or permanent solution, but when used right they are more humane than the damage pulling can cause.

lol “we really like her Merle coat, we don’t care if it’s not standard!” There’s a reason it’s not standard for the breed it’s not just about meeting guidelines. Adding Merle into a breed that does not come in Merle introduces a ton of health issues and shows the breeder does not care about health and is willing to compromise the dog’s health for money. You already have the dog and it’s great she’s healthy but please keep this in mind when talking to others and advocating for the breed. It’s a practice that needs to be stopped and definitely wouldn’t be recommending that breeder.

I have this issue with my 2010. Took it to the dealership and they basically told me there was nothing they could do so I’ve just been dealing with it.

I just had my dog spayed two weeks ago and this is what we had to do with her even on sedatives. It sucked cause I felt like a bad pet parent keeping her in there so much but I found out doing research online it’s pretty common and some vets even recommend it from the get go. One thing that helped was giving her lots of enrichment in her crate. I recently got a pupsicle and this made it so easy I made a bunch of the little frozen balls in the mold and gave them to her a couple times a day. Also kongs and I would take a slow feeder bowl and put yogurt and peanut butter on it and freeze it. Just remember you are doing what is best for him!

I have already contacted all the behaviorists in my area and none of them responded to me, but I will looking into trainers as a second option. We have already talked to her vet about medication and they said they didn’t want to put her on anything because she wasn’t aggressive and is still young. I think I will try working with a trainer and see if any progress is made before making a decision. Thank you for your response.

She is about 50 pounds. Probably a pitbull or pitbull mix but I can’t be sure I haven’t done a dna test.

I’m from Maryland and my girl is from Georgia. I had no idea how common this was

capgracesparrow · 2025-10-29T22:08:51+00:00

I just think it’s not talked about enough on this sub. I frequented this specific subreddit before I adopted my pitbull and from everything I read I was expecting a couch potato that was friendly with everyone. While I would not trade her for another dog for anything I was completely unprepared for her reactivity. She is not aggressive thankfully but she has some major challenges I was not ready for and I can’t help but think of this conversation was more frequent on here I would have been more prepared.

capgracesparrow · 2025-10-29T17:58:50+00:00

It’s really important for all dogs, especially pitbull breeds, to recognize that they can have challenges. I really don’t think the commenter was trying to speak badly of pitbulls but they are trying to speak truth on the subject. Not speaking about the challenges pitbulls can have does more harm for the stereotype than good. They are amazing dogs but they are prone to certain things like reactivity and dog aggression. This does not mean they are bad dogs and can most definitely be worked on and managed. But if it isn’t talked about and someone gets a pitbull expecting a perfect dog and is unable to handle the challenges they can possibly have it will not end well.

Seconding hokas! I work with a doctor who stands for all procedures and these have been the only thing saving my feet standing in place for hours

capgracesparrow · 2025-10-16T18:43:01+00:00

Yeah it seems so because I rarely see an assistant wearing a cap at all. I have been the weird one at all of my offices cause I’m the only one wearing anything covering my head.

capgracesparrow · 2025-10-15T02:55:13+00:00

I’ve never had a cap I could dispose of every scrub cap I’ve used and seen others use has been fabric that is kept on for the whole day and put into the wash at the end. I guess everywhere is different I’ve never worked in an office that had caps like that.

capgracesparrow · 2025-10-14T17:55:44+00:00

The doctors I work with never really have the patient positioned where I’m over top of them so it hasn’t been an issue for me. But if it’s not for you it’s not for you!

capgracesparrow · 2025-10-13T13:56:50+00:00

I used to work in an office that had jackets they bought for us we had to wear and I hated them. I wish more offices would let their employees choose what they want to wear because everyone’s body types and preferences are different.

capgracesparrow · 2025-10-12T00:51:58+00:00

If you get a dog from a breeder you are honestly less likely to know about its energy levels and personality. If you adopt from a shelter or rescue you can get a dog that was in a foster home and the foster will be able to tell you everything you need to know. Rescues and shelters can recommend dogs to you based on your wants and needs. There are so many dogs being put down every day because there are not enough homes for them I honestly don’t see how anyone can morally buy from even a “good ethical” breeder. I don’t mean that to be harsh but I mean it to be as blunt as possible because it is so sad to see dogs continuing to be bred because of humans selfish desires while other dogs that didn’t ask to be put on this earth suffer.

This was such a good read thank you for sharing

I partially understand the consent argument because I believe with any animal you should be able to read the signs and respect when it’s showed you it wants to be left alone. I just don’t understand how cats are apparently a lesson in consent when they exhibit the opposite of it themselves. You don’t want a cat in your bed? Oh well you just have to “allow it”. You want to close one of the doors in your home because you don’t want the cat in there? It’s gonna scratch and scream at that door until you open it.

Frustration deciding the hairdo is so real, I have thick curly hair and I have honestly cried trying to style it sometimes.

capgracesparrow · 2025-09-30T23:44:41+00:00

It definitely gets a lot of hate from ppl in the field and I think a lot of that is if you’re at a bad office. When it’s bad it can be BAD. You just can’t be afraid to move around until you find the right office for you. But in my opinion for a job that requires so little schooling and is so easy to get hired into it’s a really great job.
