ETA: TL;DR The date was scheduled for Tuesday morning. It ended Wednesday morning thanks to being stranded at his place by flood waters. Missed work and cried about it, but he still likes me and totally called wanting to see me again.
That is a really cute story! Sorry you had so much stress though.
Thanks. I stress pretty easily. I had an old boyfriend who worked in stables tell me that if I were a breed of horse, I would be an Arabian because I am "beautiful and intuitive, but very high strung."
@Frankie_Felinius If it does work out it should be a great story. But for now, one day at a time.

At work I use a pencil mostly. About 2 hrs into my shift and I misplace my pencil. I check under my seat and desk area, nothing. Oh well, no big deal. I grab another pencil and continue working. Time passes on and then suddenly I can't find my 2nd pencil. Now I thoroughly check my desk area, nothing. I get down on to the floor on my hands and knees and crawl around to see if the pencil rolled down under something and it's hidden from view but alas, I came up fruitless in my search. I am really puzzled as to where my pencils are disappearing to. I am alone since my coworker called in sick and there is no one but I in this 3 story building. I grab a 3rd pencil and push on. A bit more time passes and I take a quick bathroom break. After I am done I head over to wash my hands and notice in the mirror my 2 missing pencils from earlier wedged behind each ear. I've concluded I need more coffee. ( > _ < )
So much more coffee.
Oh I can not WAIT to go home and pass out!0 -

I used to do that all the time when I waited tables, except I'd stick them in my hair, which I usually kept in a bun. I'd be looking everywhere for a pen, and have 2 or 3 stuck in my hair!At work I use a pencil mostly. About 2 hrs into my shift and I misplace my pencil. I check under my seat and desk area, nothing.

Another night, another dollar! Feels like tonight is just DRAGGING on for me...ugh...0

Yup. I've left work with multiple pens in my hair many times! We have so many pens at home from years of accumulation! My fiance & I have worked at the same hotel for a long time now so we probably have hundreds around the house. No joke.

Okay. 20 more minutes and then I am OUT of here to go grocery shopping with my dad. I am getting real tired of being the only one in the house with a driver's license. Hopefully, we can get just in and out REALLY quickly so that I can put everything away where it is supposed to go(I don't get much help there with my mom away in Dallas). Then I can go to sleep! YAY SLEEP!

Ok I'll give you "Out of Gas," it adds a bit if back story. My favorites are the ones with Kaylee. J/K.
As much as it pains me to say my favorite is "The Train Job." Good action and has two of my favorite lines.0 -

Now pick a least favorite! Mine is "Objects in Space." It just felt too slow for me.0 -

Nothing exciting going on. BUT I have a second date after work!
I'm excited but trying to keep a level head at the same time.0 -
It's been a sucky night for me. Lost a patient that should have been a simple case. I think he threw a blood clot and quit breathing. Still conscious and still trying to bite and the endotrachea tube we placed. He continued to deteriorate through the night and we just lost him.0

@lilaclovebird Let us know how it goes.

So sorry to hear this.

I hate making those calls to owners. 3 in the morning and you're waking them up to let them know their pet is crashing unexpectedly.0

I would have been awake with worry anyway. I would have cried a lot. But if you did all you could, then you did all you could and hating you wouldn't bring my baby back.
I told that to my vet when we had to put Sandi down. Surgery was too expensive, with not too great of odds for survival, and I did the best I could for her at the time. Hating myself, my family, or my vet for our lack of funds and having to put her down wasn't going to bring her back or change anything.
I made them(my vet office) cookies and thanked them for being so kind and honest with us about the whole ordeal.
There was really only so much that they could do and they are a very great office.0 -
My in-laws just lost their cat, J. He was actually mine for a few weeks when I was living in an apartment in 2000 or so where I shouldn't have had him. When I got caught, we asked my fiance's parents if they wanted him and they said yes. It's weird, animals love me, all animals...but J never even liked me. He was super timid and wasn't really social in general but it baffled me that he didn't love me. We named him J because we were stoners and thought it was funny...like a joint. Idiots. He pretty much always got called Bird or Birdman though. He was a polydactyl! His favorite treat was 3-D Doritos. They were mini Dorito puffs that came in a canister. He'd get them for Xmas. So weird. Last time I saw him he was 8 lbs, down from close to 20 in his prime but he looked happy. He was probably 16 or 17. One time we brought him over to my apartment where I had 2 kittens and he SHAT on my fiance's lap, he was so terrified of them. They were pretty rowdy kittens though...Joan and Fabby. Poor Bird. They still have a jack-a-chon idiot named Jeff that we have to dog sit for TWO WEEKS! He drives me batty...always follows me around the house rubbing his moustache on me...perv...
Outta here in half an hour and going for a bike ride. Kid's last week of school so bye-bye daily bike rides after this. Kid has zero interest in learning to ride her bike...or drive her Power Wheel. Her dad was Mr. BMX so her not riding her bike is getting to him! But I was a super late bike rider...
Hope you have a good time @lilaclovebird!0 -

Funny story. Dog comes in with Nystagmus (eyes twitching back and forth). No head tilt and unsteady stance. It happened right when we had a thunderstorm roll through so I'm thinking seizure or brain tumor. We give Diazepam and the nystagmus gets worse. One of the nurses says, What about Vestibular syndrome? (Where the nerve that tells you if your head is tilted gets inflamed and doesn't work right). I'm like, "No, the heads not tilted." She says, "Look in the ear anyway." So I do. Sure enough. The ear drum is ruptured and the dog has vestibular syndrome. Stupid doctor. Listen to your nurses. :laugh:0

Poor pup - I had a vestibular syndrome attack a couple of years ago due to virus. It was horrible, I was off work for 3 weeks (not horrible) and couldn't lift my head off the pillow without vomiting and falling down.0
