Autism

Have you ever watched Married...With Children ? You know when Al would come home and just start by saying, "Fat woman walks into the shoe store today..."? Well, my girlfriend comes home and says the following just...jacked up statement: Can my dog get Autism from vaccines? NO YOUR DOG CAN'T GET AUTISM FROM A FUCKING VACCINE YOU KNOB! I'm going to give you Autism by punching you in your stupid fucking face.

Paging Dr. Google...

This. Is. All. (And works for SO MANY different professions...) System32Comics - Dr Google

Pill poppers

Guess who didn't lock up the restricted items last night? Not my S/O. Guess who got blamed for it? Yep, my S/O! This reminds me of the truck incident. The truck that I walked several laps around (not on purpose, mind you) and that I CLEARLY recall being dent free. Suddenly it had gotten a huge dent in it. But who got blamed? Not the driver, but my S/O. Who hasn't had the keys for almost a month. Why do you insist on blaming everyone else and not taking any of the blame? Oh, right...family business... FUCK. OFF.

Scheduling

Here's what I don't get. She's scheduled for a certain time on call this week, and there's plenty of work to be done. But she can't do half of it because she's scheduled to be doing shit that someone else should be doing while she should be seeing appointments. I get that you think you're a big shot (or should that be a big shit...), but if you can't create a fucking schedule, and see YOUR OWN appointments, what good are you to anyone else? Learn to do the job you're paid for before you start bossing everyone else around. You'll be doing everyone a favor.

How many euthanasias is too many euthanasias...?

12 in 10 days. That's 1.2 euthanasias/day. And I don't mean in the clinic. That's how many she has done in the last 10 days. I think that's too much. From what I understand, she is the only one that did any this week. Why her? No wonder Veterinarians want to kill themselves. Especially when the patients owner blames you for having to do it. Maybe, just maybe, if you listened to her instructions this wouldn't have had to be done. * Put them on a strict diet and do this, that, the third and I'll see you in a month. Oh, you again. It's been a week. Dog got worse? Died?? Did you do what I told you to do? No? I see. Why's that my fault that you didn't listen after signing off on the treatment plan? * Right, you're a moron. In the words of Bill Engval, "Here's your sign..."

Professionalism

Question for the class: Do you feel it is appropriate to run your clinic via TEXT MESSAGE? What I mean is any and all notices regarding any goings on at the clinics are sent out via text message, and not email or at in person meetings. There's a dolly usable email system available but everything is over group chat. Oh, and company meetings are held during work hours when one particular person is on a scheduled day off (betcha can't guess who that is...). Fuck. This. Place.

A little background

My girlfriend is a Veterinarian. Some of the shit she tells me she has to deal with is mind boggling. It's ridiculous. I mean, I know there are some STUPID fucking people in this world, but honestly, they shouldn't be allowed to own animals. But it gets worse! Some of the PEOPLE SHE WORKS WITH are just as fucking dumb. Oh, you thought this blog was going to be about the clients? Nope. Probably more heavy on the coworkers than the clients. Don't worry, names will be changed (or just omitted) and I have a large backlog of data (should have started this a year ago). Hope you enjoy at some point. If I could put a counter for every facepalm/headdesk that comes from reading these posts, that would be great. Maybe a little button you can click for every time you want to (you click twice for every time you actually, physically, do it to yourself).
