The Venting Thread

[*blackrose]

I hate people.

Had a dog brought in to work by two good samaritans. Was a hit by car and had been laying in a ditch for at least a day getting picked at by vultures. Tore up from the vultures, probable fractured pelvis, but otherwise in surprisingly good shape besides being in a **** load of pain.

We work hard and get him stabilized. Get in contact with the owner. Owner euthanizes, because "the dog had a good life, not worth saving him now".

I hate people.

I really feel horrible tonight and at least if I still had Nina she'd have alerted for me way earlier before I felt this bad.

Oh well.

(I know this is late.)

((((Hugs)))) I'm sorry. I hope your feeling better now.

If you ever need to talk someone, I'll listen, just drop me a PM.

Oh. And if your interested,there's a FB group for Chazzers(just let me know if yo if your interested.)

I hate them too.

And, that is just messed up. But kudos to you. You did what you could,& someone made a **** decision.

How the hell do people afford to live? I'm trying to figure out a living situation, but everything is so freaking expensive. Even places I could afford require you to make 3x rent, which I do not, and I at least make more than minimum wage.

Finding a roommate is like finding a needle in a haystack. The dogs make it even more difficult. I'm frustrated and honestly don't know what to do.

When I first moved out, the apartment complex required I made 2.5x rent, I think. I didn't. They still let me rent, anyway, although I think I had to have a cosigner. Maybe an option? Are there any non-coporate rentals? We lived for about two years in a complex that was owned by an individual vs a rental company. She was harder to find, but definitely easier to work with (and rent was cheap!).

I love my city...it is a great place with wonderful people and a ton of wonderful opportunities. I HATE HATE HATE all the paranoid racist asshats that are coming out of the woodwork lately....so disgusted with a large chunk of people who let their lives be ruled by fear and paranoia and never bother to actually learn empathy or compassion

I. Don't. Even. Know.

UGH.

Let's build a really nice cardboard fort under a bridge somewhere.

I know it sucks, but I also understand that not everyone has 3 grand to drop on surgery for a dog, I do, I have a slush fund set up for that purpose, but not everyone does and it sucks, but at least they euthanize I zed h I'm humanely. Who knows how he escaped, accidents happen, dogs get out and it sucks.

Come live with me. I need a dog roommate for an excuse to kennelize the place.

I hate stairs.


I took a fall down some carpeted stairs while wearing stockings because I slipped, landed on my hip/lower back and was quite sore. The very next day, I take a bad fall down metal reinforce cement stairs while my hands were full. Needless to say, I almost went to the ER for x-rays at midnight and was a little shocky because my knees are super sensitive and I couldn't get warm with icepacks on them.

It looks like I have extra knee caps on my left leg. I give up on walking.

Done. I'm on my way.

Our Internet provider is having problems right now. My internet was faster back in 1999
No Internet = No work gets done = must work on weekend.

 

[DJEtzel]

Done. I'm on my way.

see you in a few days!

It was the fact that he already dropped almost a grand to get him stabilized, had someone offer to pay for most of his vet bills, and when we said we wanted to transfer him to the ER over the weekend, the ER was going to give him a 50% discount. But he still didn't want to spend the money. I can't say that it is because he couldn't, because I don't know that - but the impression I was getting from him was because he was being frugal and didn't want to spend the money on the dog.

It was because the dog was an outside dog kept in an insecure fenced in yard with a broken gate that the owner knew he could get out of, but the owner went out of town and left him outside anyway with someone just popping into to check on him once a day.

It was that the dog was intact, nails overgrown, covered in fleas, and had only seen the vet once in its life to get its rabies shot - and that was last year when someone paid to have it done, and the only reason we were able to notify his owner that we had his dog.

It was because that, while the dog was screaming on the table before the pain meds took effect, he wanted us to stop what we were doing and just take the dog home without any care at all and let him die at home - which would have been a long, drawn out process with the dog in agony.

I'm not saying the man was a bad man. I don't know his story. If I saw him walk in tomorrow, I wouldn't hold a grudge against him.

I just....hate that any animal is owned by someone who just doesn't care. That is what bothers me. This dog passed away with strangers fighting for him more so than the person who had cared for him for his entire life. That's why I was so upset. It wasn't just this situation, it is that entire thought process. "It's just a dog, it's not worth it." That infuriates me.

There are some people down the road from us who live right off the highway, like their house is RIGHT next to it, they have two dogs and no yard, they just let the dogs run around loose, while 18 wheelers are flying by ... I just don't know how some people have that kind of luck.

Maybe these people were thinking that the dog would suffer too much? I just know how it feels to be strapped for cash and your animal gets hurt ... not saying this was, but I try not to judge people too quickly either.

Now I have to see if it's possible to get 50 bucks in refund back from this dumb phone company. I wouldn't have put it on the account if I knew my S/o was going to be home today but their systems are apparently "down" and they can't handle accounts today, and on their website the close and refund form isn't working.

I'm honestly tempted to let it lie because it wasn't even savings money but it would still be nice.

I have no flipping clue.

On that note, I feel like a total failure. Just... failure. I don't know. I feel like I suck at life in general and have messed up too much in the past to ever make up for it. Not really looking for sympathy just not sure what to do with myself. I wish I could just roll back time and start over after high school. I would change almost everything.

I keep trying to think of the past as the past and worry about improving going forward.

I feel like I fail at everything I try to do and just in general. Lots of pathetic fail-ness.

Also I'm convinced I need $20000 in dental work done when I go in on monday.

And my new computer of like 3 months is acting up. Of course.

And my awesome boss is no longer my boss as of today.

And I'm cramping.
