    That's really awkward. Hope he doesn't ask you out on a date.

    Ugh. Why are people so weird? I'm so glad I'm not doing customer service anymore.

    I'm spent. Work is starting to feel more like the Shawshank redemption than a Career

    Just finished all of my paperwork (including ordering books) for grad school, which starts next Wednesday. All that's left is buying supplies-the fun part! Also, I'm a little nervous.
    @sufferlandrian -any chance you can take a vacation any time soon? Hang in there!

    First shift back on regular city patrol after the festival.... it's the "kitten". I am so exhausted, lol, but it's only the first of 6 straight nights.
    Heck! @sufferlandrian how did you manage to go for so long before you had coffee? I grew up in a Euro household where even us little kids had cafe latte before we trooped off to school.
    Even a large mug of dark roast isn't cutting it tonight though.

    "transfusion medicine lab"....sounds like a vampire to me! watch out people!

    I hate doing transfusions. Cross matching is a pain. I'll wait for a PCV to get to 15 before I do one.

    Got another Laryngeal paralysis dog in. He seems to be responding to meds. Maybe we can get a couple more months out of this old boy.

    Why do the dogs get that condition, @sufferlandrian?
  • sufferlandrian
    sufferlandrian Posts: 8,244 Member
    Most of the time it's genetic. Sometimes nueropathies, cancer or chronic inflammation can cause it but usually we never find a specific problem.

    The good news? Just hired another vet. The bad news? She won't be available until May. At least that gives me a date to shoot for.

    May? Yikes! But at least there is light at the end of the tunnel, even if the tunnel is long!

    In other news, I'm switching grad school programs and now will be pursuing a seminary degree. I'm still sorting out the details. Eek!

    Quite the amazing ink there, @Doesntplaynice82. Great lion! Welcome. Glad it's a Q night for you too. Thunder & lightning here seems to be keeping the troublemakers holed up.
    @sarah30isael, CNA's are very important! I used to work in Health Care (physio) before I got into Security/Policing.

    My mom got me a 1-person inflatable kayak for my birthday, and I finally got it out today. I've been wanting one for a couple years, so it was pretty exciting!nuctnyd9jd5b.jpg

    That thing is awesome @jennifer_417

    Welcome new peeps!! @Doesntplaynice82 Stay safe and as dry as you can!!
  • canadjineh
    canadjineh Posts: 5,396 Member
    Unfortunately too dry still, @bethanie0825. We've had the storms but no rain - fire blew up near Kelowna the other day started by lightning. 1100 people evac'ed in a huge hurry leaving large stock behind, horses etc. Most were only able to get out with their house pets and some could not get to their houses at all when coming back from town. So far holding it away from houses. 5 new fires closer to us but not too out of control or threatening structures at the moment. Ugh, dry strikes are a "kitten."

    Kayak is grrrreat @jennifer_417! Don't drag it over the cement too often, lol. I love quietly paddling through the little nooks and crannies of a slow moving river or a lake. We have a small canoe but haven't even had a chance to get out in it this season. Tomorrow will be the last in a straight run of 13 nights working. Then a two day break, and back at 'er.

    Are you in the Gulf Coast area, @Doesntplaynice82? I'm keeping an eye on that as we are trying to decide where to go for our winter vacation. I was thinking fly to Galveston, road trip it around to NOLA, then down the Gulf Coast of FL. Maybe not....

    We finally got some rain here. I forgot what it was like to get splashed by dump trucks on my way home. :smile: It was all good. Got my rain pants stashed in the saddle bag now. :smile:
