Madness

Thanks for the advance notice. Really.

I just got an email from my manager. Apparently my clinic closed it's doors for good a little over an hour ago.

Pure fucking class guys. Seriously.

Soooooo....anyone out there in internet land want to hire a slightly used vet tech?

Hey, Mother Nature - WTF?

redhead_pixie — Tue, 19 Jul 2011 14:00:28 GMT

It's the middle of July. Why am I still FREEZING?

I think it might be nearing time for me to move south. Between the climate here, and all of the bullshit going on at work, a change might be nice...

Is it wrong that I'm already looking forward to October?

redhead_pixie — Sun, 20 Mar 2011 23:38:20 GMT

And, on a somewhat related note, that I really REALLY want to get my hands on a leopard print ballgown? Preferably something very dramatic and over the top...

I'm indulging my inner 6 year old today.

redhead_pixie — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 00:26:25 GMT

Yeah, that's right.

Dear insomnia fairy

redhead_pixie — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 12:53:33 GMT

Fuck you. Preferably with a chainsaw.

That is all.

sigh

Last time, it was two full 8 hour days.

This time, one 3.5 hour day, and one 2 hour day.

Apparently I need to either seriously lower my expectations of humanity, or find a new career.

Well that's a new record I guess...

redhead_pixie — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 23:44:34 GMT

I've had jobs that didn't last very long before, but two days? Short days, at that...

That has to be some kind of record. Now I just need to figure out what I'm going to do instead.

I...give up...

redhead_pixie — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 23:28:05 GMT

So, I started a new job today. It's a bad sign when you're ready to lock yourself in the bathroom and cry before it's even lunch time, isn't it?

Now I've got a bit of a dilemma, in that I need a job, but I promised myself that I'd never again work at another job that makes me cry every day. Or even every week. But I don't even know where to start...I can't find a tech job that will actually just let me be a tech (I didn't go to school for all that time to play receptionist or kennel bitch, thank you very much). I'm a DAMNED good tech at that. And that about sums up my skill set. I mean, I'm good at pretty much everything I attempt (apart from customer service. I suck with people and I know that), but I don't have any experience at anything else.

So what the fuck do I do?

squeal

redhead_pixie — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 06:17:51 GMT

As long as I have time between my meeting and work, I'm getting tattooed tomorrow!

I'm so sick...

redhead_pixie — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 10:13:17 GMT

...of being so fucking sick!

Seriously...I've felt like death for over a month now...

I will love you forever...

redhead_pixie — Tue, 02 Oct 2007 06:02:25 GMT

...if you buy me this. Seriously. FOREVER.

Also, there would obviously be much camwhoring of me in it *shifty eyes*

I'm pretty sure I'd give up one of my kidneys for it right about now.

36 and a half more hours...

redhead_pixie — Mon, 03 Sep 2007 10:29:47 GMT

...until doors open for the Combichrist show, and I'm already practically vibrating, I'm so excited...

It's a little early, but I don't think anyone will top this birthday present...

redhead_pixie — Sun, 12 Aug 2007 01:01:37 GMT

Seriously!

i must sleep

redhead_pixie — Tue, 05 Jun 2007 11:20:38 GMT

so that tomorrow (or later today i guess) i can go to the humane society to volunteer to help look after orphaned kittens...i'm so excited!

do not pet the lions because sometimes...

redhead_pixie — Wed, 23 May 2007 10:54:28 GMT

...they bite O.O

cries

redhead_pixie — Fri, 06 Apr 2007 23:28:32 GMT

i just found one of my cats dead...

i might die

redhead_pixie — Fri, 30 Mar 2007 22:01:28 GMT

so i just found out that in the very near future, i will not be able to buy coke blak in canada...this is highly distressing to me, and the only solution that i could come up with was to take off my shirt in protest

look at how well the bottle sits in my cleavage! they can't take that away from me O.O

i...ithink i just quit my job

redhead_pixie — Mon, 19 Mar 2007 04:12:04 GMT

i got to work tonight, my first shift back after being off sick for 2 weeks...i'm by no means healthy, but i can't really afford much more sick time

i got to work to find out that reception had been swamped, so they'd 'borrowed' one of the other technicians to help them out...this left the other technician to fall well behind on the stuff that needed to be done...when i got there, she gave me a list of things that the doctors had been breathing down her neck about, and asked if i could start with those, and she'd go through cases with me once everything was under control...

so i went into the lab to get started on the lab work, and while i was doing that, the other technician came in to also give me a list of things she'd not finished yet, since it was the end of her shift...while she was explaining what she had and hadn't done, the first technician came into the lab to ask if she could tell me about the cases, because it was also the end of her shift...

i start work at 10pm, and there's normally one technician who finished at 10, and 2 who stay till midnight, but apparently this week (and it's not all that uncommon on sundays) everyone is finished at 10, leaving me on my own, with about 2 hours worth of catch-up to do, plus a hospital full of patients who need midnight medications and treatments, as well as THREE doctors still seeing and admitting new ones...

so, i walked out

i left my boss a note explaining that i can't be the only technician when there are three or more doctors, i can't be left with everything that the evening shift didn't get around to doing, i can't keep picking up after my coworkers, and that i don't know if i need a leave of absence, or a whole new line of work, but i left her a note, let one of the assistants know i wasn't sticking around to take that kind of abuse, and just walked out...

so now i really don't know what to do...i know that they WILL take me back, but i don't know that they'll fix the staffing issues, and i've never reallyl felt that i fit in there...i can't go back to the last clinic i worked at, because of the way that i left (similar situation, less accomodating management, more dramatics when i left)...

but it's the only job i've ever had, and now i don't know what to do...

i think i might be dying :(

redhead_pixie — Mon, 12 Mar 2007 03:37:18 GMT

i don't think i've EVER been sick for this long in my life...i've been out of comission for a full week now...i'm dreading seeing what it's done to my paycheque, and i'm tired of coughing so hard it hurts :(

[/whine]

you know it's time to look for a new job...

redhead_pixie — Mon, 15 Jan 2007 10:58:58 GMT

...when the highlight of your day is calling in sick to work, and the thought of having to go back makes you want to cry *sigh*

anyone wanna hire me to sit around and look cute?

these normally annoy me, but...

redhead_pixie — Sun, 17 Dec 2006 09:15:27 GMT

On the twelfth day of Christmas, redhead_pixie sent to me...

Twelve collars drumming

Eleven boots piping

Ten corsets a-leaping

Nine tattoos dancing

Eight redheads a-milking

Seven cats a-swimming

Six kittens a-modelling

Five go-o-o-oth boys

Four other redheads

Three goth girls

Two high heels

...and an eyeliner in an androgeny.

i'm not so smart sometimes...

redhead_pixie — Sun, 10 Dec 2006 04:01:57 GMT

i just booked myself a vacation, and completely forgot that pet care for the holidays pretty much needs to be booked in july...

we're going to be away from december 27th or so until january 5th or so, and i need to sort something out so that my cats and ferrets will be fed and watered while i'm gone...

anyone interested? they're pretty self sufficient, so they only really need to be checked on every 2-3 days, but i'd be good with someone moving in here for the whole time that i'm gone as well...

spontaneity makes me happy

redhead_pixie — Tue, 14 Nov 2006 01:56:10 GMT

we just booked a flight to nyc on friday night so we can go see combichrist

i'm so excited :P

it seems to early to be thinking about christmas,

redhead_pixie — Tue, 07 Nov 2006 00:14:39 GMT

but i know that's just me in denial...

so, yeah...you should probably all buy calendars featuring pretty girls for your friends and family
(that is an entirely non-biased opinion, of course)

who's your favourite calendar girl?

and for a full preview...
march and august are exceptionally hot ;)

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

redhead_pixie — Wed, 01 Nov 2006 09:33:29 GMT
