when the self awareness hits

Dear #vettwitter You are skilled, empathetic professionals that have studied for years to do your jobs. Value yourselves. You can only offer the options. Clients make the decisions. Their choice is not your fault. I think you’re all fucking fantastic. #FuckTheHaters

One dog just peed on the floor and the other two won’t even go near the back door to go outside. People need to stop with the fireworks so the dogs in our lives can potty before this storm comes.

I don’t know why my employees act surprised when they get written up for attendance issues when there’s a policy that tells them ✨exactly✨ how it works.

My 16yo worked her very first shift at her very first job today (a boarding kennel), and you would’ve thought she went off to war. She’s grumpy, hungry, and exhausted.

Someone came back to our hospital THREE TIMES to yell at us about our prices. I think he was expecting us to get upset but my team was cool like cucumbers, which made him look like even more of an absolute nut job than he did on his own.

I'm in a Facebook group called This cat is G R O M P Y and it's recently been taken over by a rescue kitten called Tater Tot and I am living for it. I am a Tater Tot stan.

I am *this* close to quitting my corporate vet med job and going to private practice instead.

Dogs in the ER: I have a hot spot and a sprained toe. I have lost the ability to move and I am surely dying. Cats in the ER: My PCV is 12% and I have a creatinine of 12. Why you looking at me like that? What you want? I will fight you.

I’ve eaten an unspeakable number of Double Stuf Oreos today.

Story of my life

I don’t know what’s wrong with me (other than working in vet med), but I’ve been on a Fall Out Boy kick lately.

Three heatstrokes during my 9-hour shift. Two survived (one for a hefty $3000 hospitalization) and the third was a DOA Frenchie that had been left outside all day. 🤬

ER exam is $168 and vomit induction is $209 at my hospital. You don’t want to be here. Trust me.

I hope they enjoyed their 15 minutes of fame when they should’ve been taking him to the ER. People like this SUCK.
