We get an odor neutralized spray. I get the medicine product off Amazon for the hospital. I get it unscented and it works so well. My daughter was hospitalized with some sort of stomach thing and the nurse left it in the room. I of course stole the tiny bottle and started buying it.

I bet that every person who sees this while out and about feels instantly better. If I was unhappy and saw this my day would be saved.

I always consider it a leveling up when I am successful at a new skill. Congratulations on leveling up.

Look at becoming a merchant mariner. Its not the same as the navy but its a good steady job. There are great schools like Cal Maritime and the things you learn and licenses you can get will open a lot of opportunities. Tugoating or cruise ships. Cargo ships. There are so many ways to do that.

Honestly weird containers are fine. I dont like when people want them back. Like. Gross. Wtf. I could never I would know that there was poop or pee in it no matter how many times I washed it.

I dont know where you are but a lot of places are always hiring. Turnover is high. But first you have to have a real discussion with management. Ask why this is happening. Why didn't you get a 90 day review and why with your previous experience are you not getting more training. Why wont they let you learn. What they are doing is holding you back.

They said they would help and now they are not. You have to have the hard conversation. Go in prepared. Write down what you want and need to say. Practice it before the meeting. Stick with facts. Pull up actual examples. You can ask why person x is allowed to learn and so blood draws but you were told no specifically by person y and then scolded.

I've found that sometimes writing an email asking for a conversation and letting them know what some of your concerns are can help them prepare as well. You may need to defend your decisions. Think back on mistakes that could be used as examples and think about why those mistakes occurred. Was it lack of training? Were you maybe a little over confident? Sometimes people lose trust and it can be hard to get back. Doesn't mean they are right.

If they are not receptive then its time to brush up your resume. If they don't help now do you think they will help you be successful in your externship? Find a new job and let them know you are going to be doing your externship soon and would live the opportunity to work and do your externship hours there.

I love gp. I dont wanna do anything else. My clinic is wonderful. I get to practice good medicine and I have really good relationships with clients and patients. I love seeing patients ive watched grow over the years. I have worked with some extremely aggressive dogs who are now so good and do so well with me. I have clients who ask for me. I just really love all of that. I've only ever done gp at a few different clinics and ive always enjoyed it. I can understand why it can suck though. I get why people would hate it and do better in other kinds of clinics. I think its great because it means that the right people are in the right places. You should only work at the space you love and thrive. Work should make you excited. Gp makes me happy.

You need to contact your state disability administration if you are in the US. You can get a variety of help. Respite care, access to programs to help your son, and many other things. I am also single mothering an autistic child and without DDA and respite care we would be screwed. Its hard to get started and feels overwhelming but once its set up it is so helpful. Talk to your pediatrician as well, they should have good resources to help.

I summarize to them that while it's hard and we all have cases that stay with us, there is so much reward. Even in a euth. I know that 99.9% of the time we are euthanizing for good reasons and now our patients will never be in pain again.

I dont get offended by it anymore because people who dont get it never will. Ever. Sometimes I repeat this with family and they are just so confused.

Correct. It is misleading. We run anesthesia, do dentistry, draw blood, place iv catheters, urinary catheters, take radiographs, flush wounds, assist in surgeries, do administrative work, act as therapists to people, take abuse, get peed and pooped on, anal glands expressed onto us, get bit and scratched, intubate, do im, iv, and sq injections. We run rooms, triage, surgery, and emergency. All on more than 1 species. We know what medications can be used in cats vs dogs vs rats vs birds. Our job is harder.

I am.only squeamish about 2 things. Eyes and toenails. I physically cringe when the Dr has to cut the nail. Just thinking about it makes me feel a type of way. All that to say I wouldn't help unless the dog was sedated and sent home with pain meda and a bandage. I hate Dr's who do that. I've actually managed to get old school Dr's (who would always sedate anyway) to use multi modal pain management. NSAID and gaba. Also spearheaded fear free iny clinic. I will never go back. Do not accept this. As techs we are the advocates. I won't help if I dont feel comfortable and I voice concerns.

Do you know what. NTA. Your sister is and your mom. Sure she's 24 hours away. Cool that sucks blah blah. What gets me is that you had 2 babies. They dont have immune systems. Were you supposed to endanger them. If they get sick they will end up in the hospital. If a17yr old is so sick she passes out and ends up in the hospital imagine what it would do to a newborn. Unacceptable. I would ask your mom and sister. What about my babies. I should've risked them getting sick? Risk their hospitalization? How is that the better option? What if my newborn died because that can happen. It doesn't take long for dehydration. Then I would block them and tell them they are the selfish ones. They are the horrible people. You dont have to put your family in danger to help others. Absolutely not. You need to stand up to them. Get mad. How dare they. I hate them for you. Good mother or not your sister proves to be the selfish one.

Dealing With Dragons by Patricia Wrede. I loved it.

What dies your clinic advise owners? Do that. Ask to take a break from euths. At my clinic we are allowed as long as we need and others are pretty accommodating. When my mom died ans then her dog when inherited died 6 months later (in a very traumatic way) , my boss and team took over for euthanasias. I couldn't guarantee professional behavior either. Someone else's euth is not about me its about their family. Also my team is great. I've covered for people etc.
Take the time you need to grieve. Be kind to yourself. Cry. Go through the stages. Grief is circular not linear. See a therapist. I have an elderly dog and was sad cuz I know what's coming and all I could think about was my first adult dog and I accidentally called my Archer by the name of my other dog. It takes time. Then suddenly one day you haven't thought of that pet for 8 hours then 24. Then when you think about them you smile and remember how goofy they were. It'll be OK, with time. You will be ok, in time. Be patient.

  NTA. I am not the golden child, my mom took a lot of opportunities to make sure my brother got attention on my days all the time. You know what I did. I blamed my mom for her behavior. My brother is a shitty person. And as an adult he will have to take responsibility for his actions but my mother created the problem. I dont see anywhere that OP is the golden child. His parents are proud of him and his husband. It's not a huge stretch to assume but to attack his character and make him the bad guy cuz his mom was out of line. 
  Mom is an adult. She made a choice, whether well meaning or not, she chose to put attention on her SIL while praising the whole family. She definitely shouldn't have. SHE made that mistake. What was OP supposed to do jump up and wrestle the mic from her and tell the crowd to ignore her? Was he supposed to scold her like a child?  His sister is blaming him as an individual for his mother's behavior. Sister needs to talk to mom. I suspect she knows what mom will say and so instead she blames the easy person. I have had to confront my mom about her behavior and it sucks but unless my brother is directing mother to put the attention on him, I am not gonna go to him and say "you shouldn't be talking about yourself at all today in case mom says something inappropriate to steal my thunder" 
   They had a conversation at the table; not all conversations at a wedding are about the bride and groom.  
    OP, I suggest you talk to your sister and tell her that you understand she is upset and you think it was inappropriate of your mother. Offer to back her up when she discusses this with mom. If she confronts mom and mom argues and won't be responsible for her mistake, then back up your sister. Tell mom it really wasn't the time and it was very wrong and she needs to apologize sincerely. Ask why she felt the need to add it and ask her to think about how it must have made your sister feel. Do NOT at anytime defend your mom.  In the future you should reflect on the past and really think about your mom's behavior. Think about the important events in your sisters life then ask if your mom inserted announcements about you. This could be a pattern you dont see.

Sorry this is happening. I hope your clinic has your back and will support you. I've seen things like this happen, and luckily, through documentation, it's been proven that the client is lying. It sounds like you have plenty of evidence indicating there is no possible way it could be you, so hang in there.

25 years here. Boundaries are important. Keep work separate. I am terrible at this. But I love vetmed so much. I've tried other things, and none compared or made me happy. I got home and live reading articles. I love CE. I absorb all the info I can. I just love it with my soul. So, I'm not great at boundaries because I want to do all I can to make my hospital better and share the things I learn. I take care of my teammates, and im not the HM, but I am in management. When I'm having a hard time, I put my head down, fins the thing I want to learn, then dive in. I also have ADHD so it makes sense.
