    Ok, I've had enough!

    Friday, June 13, 2008, 05:56 PM EST [me]

    Today, is my day off....I get a call from my job about a dog who came into work about a week ago.  My boss asks me who the nurse was for this particular pet..I tell her it was not me because, I was doing surgery all morning long.  I ask her why, she tells me that no one entered notes in the dogs file.  Which is really bad because, it's just like keeping human medical records.  If something happens with the pet, and we have not entered anything in the pets record we are liable and can get sued. 

    I know I talked about this a while back about how it seems like they are trying to push me out by making up things about me.  Well, my boss calls me today and tells me that her boss wants to write me up because, of this issue.  I ask her well, if no one knew who the nurse was for this particular pet, why would you call me and ask me if I was the nurse...and why would our office man. automatically want to write me up not knowing who's **** up this was?  Just because, I happened to work that day, it's automatically my **** up? Just another example of what they are doing to try and get me out the door because, I'm a liability....  This is really taking a toll on my morale...I work my pregnant ass off for this company, and I try not to make mistakes just because, I know they want me out the door.  It's like they keep looking for things to write me up over...fortunately, this wasn't my mistake so they have no leg to stand on.  It just pisses me off...See the thing is with this company, it's corporate so there are steps that have to be followed in order to fire someone.  The person in question has to be "coached", then next **** up is a write up, 3rd is a write up with our medical director and 4th is termination.   I've already been "coached" about two weeks ago about another incident with the medical records-It's not me already!  I know how important those records are...That would not be a step I would forget...There just as important as actually seeing the pet.  Anyway, that was not my mistake either but, since I worked that day I got "coached"-That shit is permanently in my personel file. 

    I can't take it anymore, I told Chris, it seems like everytime I have a day off my boss calls me to interogate me about things that have happened.  I'm trying to not be a victim here, because, I hate hate being a victim....But, I honestly feel like they are looking over my shoulder every minute waiting for me to mess up.  I told chris today, I wish I could call these f'ers today and tell them kiss it...I quit.  I don't want to burn bridges though..It wouldn't take long for me to find another veterinary job...I take pride in my work ethic and think I'm damn good.  The only problem is.....being almost 6 months pregnant.  I can't hide it...Potential employers will look at me and automatically not want to hire me.  This wouldn't be a problem obviously if I worked a desk job...Working in the field I do, it is a high risk job for my pregnancy and there are quite a few things I can't do right now-like radiology and lifting pets.  Two major parts of my job.  But, I feel there are enough nurses there to cover my ass for an occasional x-ray....Ya know?

    I so need to find a differnt place of employment...This has me stressing so bad, I can't stand it...Making me sick to my stomach with worry.I need my paycheck and can't afford to go even a month without a job.    I will do what I have been doing and going in working my ass off, not making any mistakes and going home and picking up my paycheck every two weeks untill I can find something else.  The sad part is, this job is my dream.  There is nothing else in the world I would rather be doing.  These animals continually awaken my dreary outlook eachtime they look in my eyes.  I can see there hearts and know how much they love....they love like no human on earth. 

    Ah well, enough of my bitching.....I got a dining room set today off of craigslist for 40 bucks...It's not new, it's actually probably made in the 70's.  It's not terribly pretty but, it's a lot bigger than what I have now and we can actually all sit down at the table together....I figure a nice table cloth and some seat covers will spruce it up a bit.  Besides which it's built really strong.  Heavy dark wood and dosn't feel like it's going to fall apart the first time a plate is set on it.  I'm stoked...I can't wait to make it pretty....Hubby also got a 55 gallon fishtank and stand from my aunt they were selling for 200 dollars but, he went over and did some networking and cable work on their house so they gave him the fishtank. All of this we acquired today, so needless to say my dining room with two dining sets and a 55 gallon fishtank, all the things that go with a fishtank, my dining room is a complete mess....You have to side step through to get to the kitchen.  Hopefully someone will call soon for my old dining set, I listed it on freecycle....I hope someone comes get it tomorrow so I can get things back in order again.....

    Anywho yall, I had a friggin blast in chat last night....I havn't laughed that hard in a long time...You witches know who you are that made me snort water....love you all bunches, J

    I would say what I say to most, and that's if something isn't working in your life and is making a nusance of itself, end it or get it away from you. But seeing as its a job your perdicament is definatly a different matter. But if you CAN find somewhere else then go hun, you don't need the stress. We are rootin for ya! And Ill have to jump in for the next chat!

    Much Love,

    First... (((hug)))
    Second... without ever seeing you in action I know that you are good at your job. Don't ever believe what those corporate idiots are selling. Oooh... I just want to kick them in the shin!!!
    Third... Everything is exactly as it should be. Bigger and better things for you, dear Jole'. Stick it out as long as you can but know that your talents will be utilized in some other way in the near future. In a place where you will be appreciated and very much needed.
    Blessings and love to you and yours...

    Do you think they are trying to find fault with your work because you're pregnant ( meaning they don't want to pay insurance, provide maternity leave, etc.) or because of your religious preference...both of which are not only unethical, but illegal as well. You might like to consult with your friendly neighborhood Legal Aid attorney to see just what the law does cover in your area, then have a chat with Human Services and gently remind them that you are keeping records of all these incidents and have sought legal advice. Many times this is all that is necessary to keep harassment at a distance.

    i left you a voicemail on your cell, woman. pick your chin up, honey! this is what youre meant to do, on your day off, DO NOT answer the phone to these people, thats why its called a day OFF. and on your day off, GO talk to other vets around. trust me, you know this too, there is a vet somewhere who NEEDS you, and will hire you the way you are. youre not going to find them unless you get out there and sell yourself. so go! sell!
