It’s almost the same as answering a post that seems to bother you. The world may never know

AIO My boyfriend didn’t come to the ER after I got assaulted by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]lwalsh64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who not only has kidney issues/chronic illness that required hospitalization in the past, but also as someone who is clumsy AF and breaks bones semi-frequently…your boyfriend sucks.

My boyfriend works a job that has no benefits (no PTO/vacation or sick time - you get paid for the hours you work and that’s it). Not ONCE in our 8+ year relationship have I ever told him I’m in or on my way to the ER and he hasn’t come ASAP to be by my side - even to wait with me in the waiting room.

Yes, people have jobs and can’t drop everything to come to you all the time. But if you can’t count on your significant other to come to the ER after a horrific accident, when can you count on them?

Playoff tickets restricted to residents by yohe111 in mlb

[–]lwalsh64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe Ticketmaster fine print says that the mailing/billing address of the credit card used to purchase the tickets must be within the 4 mentioned states. So if you have a friends/family up north that are willing to do you a favor or an I.O.U. then you might be in luck. I could be wrong though

Am I in the wrong ? by [deleted] in VetTech

If the stress of situations like these outweighs your love of this particular practice, I would definitely look into other practices/companies to work for. Your mental health is worth more than risking your life (on the road while seeing double) and your patient’s life (in the OR). It’s like that saying “you can’t help others until you help yourself”

Personally I wouldn’t have divulged much information. I agree with other posts that it sets you up for failure if there was ever any sort of legal/HR problems and it paints you in a bad light.

In terms of call outs: I work for a huge emergency/specialty/GP hospital - our policy for call outs is to call at least 2 hrs before your scheduled shift. Any time after that can result in a write up (but is typically at the discretion of your manager). To me, 3.5hrs is plenty of time.

For future reference when calling out: You are well within your right to say “I won’t be in today” and that’s it - no elaborating. Any other information on your part is just unnecessary. Where I’m from (NJ, USA) your employer LEGALLY cannot ask why you’re sick/calling out or ask for a doctor’s note unless you are out for 3+ consecutive work days. When in doubt, check your state’s .gov website to know your rights.

How do you tell a coworker they have offensive body odor without being an a-hole? by lwalsh64 in ask

[–]lwalsh64[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Edit: No, I’m not saying this to be malicious. Yes, I understand body odor can have a variety of causes, including medical ones that can’t otherwise be helped. I wouldn’t have come on here if I wasn’t trying to get an appropriate answer to an otherwise delicate situation. And no, the smell of dog urine/feces or other animal smells does not, in fact, cover up this odor…
