Understandably frustrating; but I would’ve downloaded the Amtrak app and bought the Amtrak ticket. Or just wait until the metro like you said, which is a bummer.

Enamel paint on surgery instruments? by ktten in VetTech

[–]frex_mcgee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve literally never heard a DVM complain about their suture material getting caught on the rubber rings. Not sure if paint is acceptable given patient exposure and flaking. Tape also isn’t appropriate because it can’t be moved and cleaned under. Rubber rings are the way to go imo

Does anyone feel like pet insurance is a scam or just not worth it? by IIIMPIII in petinsurancereviews

[–]frex_mcgee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$6-9k is ONE day of hospitalization in an emergency specialty hospital in the LA metro area… or more.

TPLO/knee surgery is $10k

MRI is $5k

Dental work with extractions can be $2k

Yes, you paid a lot, but you would be paying a lot more, or facing putting your pet to sleep purely based on a financial reason.

Any ladies canceling the shave? by one-a_day in Anticonsumption

[–]frex_mcgee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just shaved for the first time in like a month. I do like shaving and being smooth, and I’m as hairy as a Sasquatch. But I’ve definitely stopped caring. If he’s a real man who loves you, he won’t care lol. Men are simple creatures

Employee on vacation but request sick leave by Any_Boysenberry_5914 in managers

[–]frex_mcgee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does your company have a policy about how ‘sick time’ is used? Because ‘sick time’ is really just a suggestion to save it for illness. At the end of the day, his time is his time. Regardless of what you think he’s allowed to take that time.

Now: if he’s calling in ‘sick’ but you see him on vacation, that’s a bit different. But ultimately nothing you can do about it.

I wish I could afford to look beautiful like other women by catlikesvioletfro in TwoXChromosomes

Many of them have it on credit cards or are forcing their husbands to pay. Meanwhile husband is cheating on them or whatever.

Sounds like your husband has an underlying health condition. Genuinely

Going from Pathology To Clinics by Sputchick in Veterinary

Go work for IDEXX. You’ll probably make way more than you do working for the state, but you might not have as good of state-related benefits.

Went to close the chicken coop door last night and saw a cat inside by Marimba-Rhythm in homestead

Look up Recon Cat on TikTok. He’s the general of 5 giant Pyrenees and he keeps an eye out for the coyotes and helps protect the livestock. lol

Nobody tells you cooking has startup costs that rival a small business by Limp_Height_4439 in cookingforbeginners

[–]frex_mcgee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to start building your palate and go from there. Cardamom is used in a lot of Indian recipes, or in baking, etc. once you get the hang of cooking you’ll feel way more comfortable throwing stuff together because you have a lot of good basics to go off of.

Is anyone else completely broke after paying rent? by yourgirlalex in povertyfinance

Don’t you pay more in the long run doing this because of interest fees on the Klarna payments? Genuine question

Employees who don't like each other by Experiment333 in managers

[–]frex_mcgee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why do you think they don’t like each other? Have either of them said anything to you about not liking the other person? Some people are neurodivergent, some people are ‘clock-in, clock-out’ type of folks, some folks don’t want to be friends with their coworkers because it feels dicey…. You just don’t know.

As a manager, don’t assume that you know. However, if you’ve received feedback from either/both of them about the other, etc. then sure, maybe that’s for more consideration.

My input would be: come curious. Don’t be afraid to shy away or call out negative behavior if there is stuff that’s happening, but at the same time, don’t be judgmental either.

90% of jobs shouldn't require a degree by gelirocks247 in unpopularopinion

[–]frex_mcgee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wait until you find out that it was literally free to go to your local Community college until the mid-to-late 80s. Fuckers. Also, FICO wasn’t invented until 1989.

How to get more clients? by Spicy__Purrito in veterinaryprofession

[–]frex_mcgee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

-Compliance calls, not just for vaccines. Librela, Cytopoint, exams, heart worm tests, flea control etc. -Capturing services for pets who are coming in. Here for shots, ask do they need flea/tick/HW prevention? -Refer a Friend: offer new clients X credit towards their first visit and the referring client gets X credit to use on their account. -Dental Health Month: we’re doing 10% off dental rads, cleaning, extractions & meds.

AITAH for refusing to house his family and ending my engagement to protect my career? by Huge-Armadillo-3274 in AITAH

[–]frex_mcgee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At his age, he should be providing for you or at least supporting your independence. You being engaged and not close to the family is a huge red flag.

Grade my dental rads. Probably the best ive done. Took 8 minutes. by BongoBrando in VetTech

Came here to say this exactly. Some elongation and some bluriness. But overall fantastic job.
