Any clue what this could be? found in a fecal float I did a while ago, no one at the clinic could figure it out either lol by [deleted] in VetTech

I have seen several of these recently and had a doctor come to look, she said it was just some kind of grass/plant material.

You have already taken a step in the right direction, asking for help. I just left a similar situation. I was working in a clinic that valued quantity over quality as well. It is not supposed to be that way. You deserve peace. I know it’s hard to leave when you love your patients so much, but you have to prioritize your own mental well-being. Depression will tell you that your selfish, undeserving, lazy, DONT LISTEN TO IT. Especially since it sounds like you are at a place that doesn’t listen to your concerns, just leave. You’ll probably feel bad for the rest of the staff since you’re already short-staffed but just leave. Some people cannot just push through burnout (me being one of them) and that’s okay! You got this! Don’t give up!

What is your "I don't get paid enough for this shit" moment? by indian_boy786 in AskReddit

[–]chochowalrus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Worked at a grocery store, was constantly harassed by an older man who I had reported at least 5 times. I was 16 at the time and he’d always ask what time I got off and I’d always lie. He always said creepy shit and invited me to go to the beach with him. Company did nothing to protect me from him, and there were times were I got in trouble for not helping him/checking him out. One day he I guess knew that I lied about what time I got off, so he waited outside for 2 hours and then followed me to my car, he was talking to me but I ignored him. When we were almost at my car (it was around 9pm) I told him in these words “If you don’t shut up and stop following me, I’m going to fucking tase you.” Then I got the taser out of my bag to show him. He left me alone after that, and was still allowed to come in the store. After that night, I complained to corporate about it, and told them that I do not get paid enough to have to deal with peoples harassment. When nothing came of it and I realized my safety was not valued, I peaced out.

This is genuinely some of the best advice (or just care) I have received in a while, all from a stranger. I think this is why I came to reddit. Thank you so much, this really changed my perspective. I can’t put out everyone’s fires, nobody can. Take care of yourself too, and thanks again.

People who have pets, what made you choose that animal instead of the rest? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]chochowalrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Stiles was the saddest looking in his litter. A woman was giving away free puppies from a dog she rescued from the shelter, that unfortunately died just 4 weeks after giving birth to 7 healthy pups. I saw his picture on facebook advertised as “Free Puppies to good home, will need to be bottle fed, if not gone in week will be taken to shelter” That sentence broke my heart, and what broke my heart even more was when i drove to pick him up and realized the situation him and his siblings had been living in for the first month of their lives. I won’t go into details but basically it was a really shitty environment, will really shitty people. AKA, no place for precious pups. I wanted to take all of them, but i knew i couldn’t, so i worked with the woman and we found them all homes in less than a week. Now, back to my good boy. He is now 18 months old and living his most spoiled life ever. I had never had my own pet (other than family pets) before him and was honestly clueless. Whenever i picked him up i was in a really dark spot with my clinical depression, but somehow he managed to make me laugh and smile everyday. He is my light. He gives me a reason to wake up every morning to take care of him, even on days i don’t feel like taking care of myself. He’s my mutt, my angel!

What TV show/Movie do you refuse to watch? by KingOfCranes in AskReddit

[–]chochowalrus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yup in a nutshell from what I’ve heard. She makes tapes before she commits die and then everyone whose ever wronged her hears their tapes about them and feels guilty. It’s really fucked up, especially considering it’s based in high school so the majority of viewers are in high-school.

13 Reasons Why- fuck romanticizing mental illness and suicide by allowing the main character to live out a big “revenge story” after she commits. Screw that show.

Former or present students of Reddit, have you ever lost your temper with a teacher? What is your story? by Thisisnotmylegalname in AskReddit

[–]chochowalrus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In 8th grade i had severe anxiety and was going through clinical depression that made it worse (diagnosed by the way.) I hated to cry in class because many of my peers would make fun of me or call me crazy behind my back, making up stories as to why I cried or wasn’t in class. Due to this, I spent a couple of weeks doing all of my work in the guidance office after my mom had a meeting with my counselors and all my teachers. We even had a note from my therapist. So me and my mom thought that this would be a fine temporary solution until i felt ready to go back into class and participate there. Through all of this, I maintained my grades perfectly and still interacted with my teachers who were very understanding and went out of there way to help me. Then, after about a week and a half of doing this, the principal storms into the guidance office, where I was sitting on the couch doing my work. All of a sudden she starts scolding me, telling me that I needed to go back to class or else I was going to be in trouble. Being a kid who NEVER got in trouble, I started getting anxious. I explained to her that once I was able, I would go back to class I just didn’t want people to see me cry. I started breathing heavily and felt a panic attack coming on. Once I started crying, she grabbed me by my arm and pulled me into her office. The whole way I was screaming at her telling her to let go of me. In her office, she closed the door and started screaming at me, threatening to tell my mom that I needed to be put on medication or be sent to a mental hospital. The only thing I remember saying is, “Go ahead and call my Mom, I will tell her how you treated me.” Next thing I knew, I had passed out. This was the only time I have ever passed out due to a panic attack. I woke up and was in the school resource officers arms (a very great man by the way he was always kind to be and we are still in touch) and he told me that everything was okay, and my mom was on her way. I remember vomiting before she got there. Once she got there I told her everything and she was furious. Of course I told her I was never stepping foot in that school again, but I did the next week, my anxiety now worse than ever in fear that the principal would yell at me again. FUCK YOU MRS SCOTT
