unfortunately had to put down my childhood dog blue this morning. very sudden and scary. went down to evl dropped my sister off to race and went to coach and got a call just as i got my boots in that i need to rush to the animal hospital and get my sister because the dog had a seizure and then couldn’t move and was heaving up blood. They kept him stable enough to buy us time to get the hour there and see him, after that he just put his head down and was ready to go so he was put down. still hasn’t even hit me tbh, i’m just still in shock.

went skiing this afternoon to cheer myself up and hated all 9 runs i did. So many fucking people and terrible sandy bumpy conditions. Did some runs with homies I haven’t seen who wanted to catch up on college decisions, life and comforted me about the dog which was nice. Left after 4 park laps and 5 normal laps. I’m starting to hate holidayvalley with a passion

? Blue ?
 
i cannot fall back asleep after I’ve been woken up, and every day this week my boyfriend has woken me up at 5 am to cuddle and then wonders why I’m a grumpy bitch, MAYBE IT’S BECAUSE I WANTED TO SLEEP UNTIL 7 FOR ONE FUCKING DAY THIS WEEK.
 
He just like me frfr

I don’t get it, he knows I cannot stand that I don’t want to be woken up extra early just to cuddle for an hour.

also we’re watching a dog for a week and i want her out of my house, Neva is finally not stressed after having her for 5 days but Bruno wants nothing to do with her. This morning she ran off and went over a mile to the train tracks and wouldn’t let us catch her. Ran thru the shocks wouldn’t come for treats finally we sent Neva to her and she ran back. We were told she’s house broke — she’s peed and pooped in my very nice rug, she’s shedding so much our vacuum is now broken, I’ve brushed her every day. I’m feeling extremely jaded that I got her pushed onto me and she’s not an “easy dog” she’s a husky that is making it hard for me to keep a clean house and unstressed dogs. Im going to refuse to watch her again unless it’s an emergency, this just furthers my dislike of huskies and it’s not that she’s an active dog, I literally have a border collie and multiple Aussies.

My patient woke up during surgery and that shit is what nightmares are made of. No one did anything wrong, the type of anesthesia just failed. But 0/10 never want that to happen again. They didn’t remember it when they woke up (thank fuck) but still. Never again. Nope, nope, nope.

Can you elaborate on this?

Idk how to quote two posts anymore but no they werent ginger (but gingers do need more anesthesia. It is definitely not a myth!)

The patient had spinal anesthesia which numbs you from the waist down (think epidural for childbirth but it doesn’t last as long). Then we give sedation for comfort (but the sedation and being asleep part doesn’t provide any pain relief in and of itself). The spinal numbs you, and you could have a hip or knee replacement completely awake and pain-free. But the surgery is barbaric and people don’t want to hear/see/experience that even if they don’t feel it, so we give sedation.

Anyways, the patient had a high iliac crest(top of hip bones) and the spinal wasn’t “high” enough to numb that area completely. So we drilled into the Iliac crest and the patient woke up from the sedation screaming because they could feel it all.

It’s a tough situation because the spinal was placed properly and at an appropriate level in the spine. It SHOULD have worked just fine. Before we give any sedation we poke the patient with a blunt needle and ask if they can feel it. If they don’t, it means the spinal is successful. We did the poke test up to the tops of their hips and they didn’t feel it. So they should have been fine. There wasn’t much more anyone could do to avoid that. Which really sucks honestly because it does not happen often (this has never happened since I’ve been here). If someone made a mistake it’s so much easier to fix and avoid in the future. Thankfully we converted to general anesthesia in about 45 seconds and the rest of the surgery went fine and the patient didn’t remember anything (and hopefully it stays that way??)
 
I've been seeing nursing majors filling up the large ass Stanley's with diet coke every morning.

I do not like huskies at all. Probably the only bigger breed I am not into.

That sucks you really should have just said no especially since its not just 1 overnight. My childhood collie always hated huskies and my dog whos 1/4 border collie 1/2 boxer doesn't like them either she has never ran around or played with one for more than a couple seconds even the nicer ones the same age and size.

The stupid old bat with the condo next to me in Killington (the only person who actually lives there full time in this building of 10 units everyone else doesn't) has a really nice looking Aussie who I feel like is being abused by her because shes on a 'no leash at Edgemont' vendetta. I wanted to have the dogs play together and she just went off about the association and fining me. I feel really bad for her poor dog Aussies need a ton of exercise.

I might lose my ability to rent next winter because of her complaining about me to the association both times I brought my dog and threatening to fine me which wouldn't be to me but the owner. I don't even want my dog up there in the winter she can go to my moms. My dog doesn't need a leash its rural VT she can sniff around outside and get some fresh air you horrible wench that tortures a poor Aussie keeping it on a leash at all times.

Almost left her with my GF last weekend when I went up and my GF's dog got sprayed by a skunk so at least that didn't happen.

i can understand filling up with machine specific fluid that's not water. but this group of 4 snaked a line waiting for drinks to fill up colossal Stanley cups with water at the only drink machine with sweet tea and during a very busy time. the drink machine doesn't dispense fluid that quick either
 
I'm more amazed by the fact that people drink that much diet coke, like do you drink water?

People will try to cheat emotionally in their relationships. And they'll continue to do it until the sought-after party puts their foot down. And when that person does put their foot down, and refuses to go along with things, the cheater--the one in the relationship--will freak out and try to turn things around to vilify the fidelitous one. Be careful, gentlemen. If you ever find yourself being pursued by a married woman--or even a woman with a boyfriend--keep your distance, be respectful of the poor spouse or boyfriend, and don't do anything impulsive. Because they'll suck you in, and the second things start to go awry or she loses interest in you, she'll turn around and tell her husband or boyfriend everything you said or did, leaving out everything she said or did. And before you know it you'll have an angry mob after you. Speaking from experience.
 
Asked a patient today if he takes any meds and he said Keppra and then he said he doesn't have Epilepsy and im like "Okay bro, so you just take those for fun or?"
 
Had surgery to remove three unanchored screws, a failed plate and repair my humerus the previous doctor fucked up two years ago. My surgeon told my wife that the other surgeon also shortened the humeral shaft last time so I needed a good chunk of bone from my pelvis to fix that jerkoff's shoddy work.

prior surgeon also tied off my cephalic vein which my current surgeon's notes expressed surprise at and current surgeon also noted "I found the plate, which was clearly incompetent and had lifted off the bone."

I want that fuckface's medical license revoked; two years with a broken humerus just floating around in my arm because of his incompetence. Looked at my x-rays in June of 2022 and told me I was good to return to sport; I did all my PT with a broken arm, I skied half of last season with that broken arm, having to fight to stay level in the air anytime I hit a jib.

You should sue for malpractice. With a bit of luck and a decent attorney their insurance company will feel compelled to settle with a big number.

seems like the inside of every building on MSU's campus is ridiculously hot

Yup, most of the old buildings all have dated heating systems that keep them ungodly hot. Like the 4th floor of Reid hall always feels like it's 80 degrees lol.

That and most of MSU's buildings are run off geothermal heat, so it's probably just on constantly.
 
morning practices start in two weeks and there is absolutely zero chance i am going to first period after waking up at 4:15 to practice 5-7 then going to stupid ass remedial econ
 
Get job, can't write about skiing as much as I want nor can I shitpost on NS as much.

Making good money, can ski 3 days a week, but Holy fuck working 10-12 hr days is really getting to me. Startup life and trying to get career going is worth it I guess

I really would like to make more ski content but the truth is I'm enjoying skiing so much I don't want to film, I just ski now.

Feels like I'm a lot less social than I used to be from work fatigue and I often just want to ski by myself this year since I just ski laps without stopping a lot of the time right now.

Maybe I need to take care of my mental health better
 
the fedex trade documents upload api - upload images. Parses a multipart/form-data request in a sequential way. Yes it matters if your "document" json data is sent above your "attachment" file-multipart data. When the tech support guy told me to try switching the order. I almost laughed at him, but out of pure frustration I did it, and it worked. And now I want to know who the hell wrote that code over there at fedex, and how it is possible to write code so bad, that the order of a request body matters.

for you non tech people: this is like going to mcdonals, and asking for fries and then a burger, and the mcdonalds person seizes up and says "invalid order" but doesn't tell you that you should order the burger first. Also their menu is laid out with fries before the burger, and every other fastfood restaurant would successfully take this order.
 
Micromanagers are so annoying. If you give a deadline for something to get done, don't check in multiple times to see the progress. That implies insecurity, impatience, and/or lack of trust that it will be done effectively by the predetermined deadline. I work with some people who are like this out of habit. Like bro I've never missed a deadline, ever, and often finish early. It will get done ffs. If I need assistance, I will ask.

Is asking for progression updates really micromanaging?
 
14588996:TOAST. said:

Controversial topic since it's so normalized, but I would say yes and it depends on the employee/if they're reliable or not. If updates are not needed other than to make the manager feel good inside, then yes, it's micromanaging. There's no purpose to ask unless the response you will receive will require an action. Context is important and of course more complex, different things may need regular updates, but soliciting those updates outside of regular intervals is annoying.

My point was if you assign a task and request to have it back by a specific date, then there should be no need to check in prior to then. If you trust your employees and have confidence they will complete the task, then a check-in is inefficient and a waste of communication time. Employees should reach out if assistance is needed or if they realize that the deadline is possible to be missed.

I realize not all people are reliable or have the confidence to let someone know they're off schedule. It's fucking annoying to those of us who get shit done.
 
14588996:TOAST. said:

Maybe not but It's probably the reason why 40% of management has a job.

Like, you have a tracker, that I've gotta spend way more time than necessary updating with every little detail (so they can do less work) and you're still gonna call me about it?

Like cmon man. I know you've gotta act like you provide some sort of value to the company even though you don't but I'm trying to work

makes sense, I've never worked somewhere with a boss that did regular check ins on me, so I more associate it with forcing an employee to do something your way.

Now that I am thinking about it more I was just bitching today about how much time our management wastes checking on certain departments daily.
 
I got a letter from dentist that was a reminder to get an appointment to the dentist. Then i called them to get the appointment and they say that i need to call to the dentist office, that is located in the same city as my school is. Why do you send me a letter that asks me to call you, if i wasn't even supposed to call you?

I'm not sure if i will survive in the adult world.

Ps. this was first time i called someone in 4 years.
 
In some ways, yes. Honestly I just don’t like slc that much. I much prefer Denver but like the local little pockets of neighborhood. Not so much the main “downtown”. But yeah there’s traffic and people here.
