What Grinds Your Gears?

Don't read it then? lol...

I thought it was a good read. Had people flip their ***and make me the bad person for not wanting to talk. Grinds my gears they get to talk smack about me when I did nothing wrong

Go get em Chu!

EMO ppl crying about being stuck in the friendzone grind my gears!

A long time ago, in a university far away...

I didn't want to go to school. I didn't know what I wanted to do with myself. But it would be good for me! I thought. But I wouldn't be able to get a job without a degree! I thought.

So I picked up a catalog of all the degrees I could get at the university where my husband had been accepted. I looked at each and every degree. I thought French looked fun. I could talk to myself in the language of flowery goopy love! I thought. Yeah, except what was I going to do with a French degree? And three semesters of high school Spanish, and all I knew was how to say "cheese." That might have been because the teacher made us watch Channel One news with the pretty Asian lady for most of every class period, but still.

Discarding French, I instead became a dance major. I changed to Sports Science after two semesters. I changed to Nutrition after one semester. I changed to Interior Decorating after one more semester, but by that time I had stopped bothering to officially change my statement and was just taking classes for things at random. I finally settled on English. I supposed I could be a librarian. Nothing else looked spectacular, after all, and I did love books.

I completed my English degree, not because I liked it but because I refused to change my mind again. I walked with my class for graduation because my husband made me because his mother had made him walk when he graduated. Vengeful towards the wrong person! >.>

And since then I've stood around awkwardly going



and applying to be everything that has nothing to do with English and driving my husband crazy in general.

But then! Oh snap! I saw a commercial on TV about a community college that offered a veterinary technician degree! Well of course! I love animals! Well, I love dogs, anyways. I bawl every time those awful dog neglect/abuse commercials come on, I have four humane societies friended on Facebook and like to annoy my friends with it. "Oh HEY, did you know that the humane society in your town has this-and-that dog in as of two hours ago and he needs a forever home? You don't have a dog. Well shoo! Go get him! Never mind why I have a humane society ten hours away from myself friended!"

So I looked up how to become a veterinarian in my own town. And... I can only do pre-veterinary medicine here, and then I'd have to move away to a different college town to get the vet degree. The town I'd have to move to? ... it's a 15-minute drive from the town I just moved away from. Well why didn't I get it while I was there? You ask. Because I looked at the wrong University catalog-- two Unis, fifteen minutes away from each other, one offers vet and the other doesn't. And which one do I look at? FFFUUU

*sob* I finally figure out what I want to do with myself and I'd have to live away from my husband for at least four years to do it. By the time I finally got that degree we'd want a baby, and we both want me to stay home with the baby, so I'd go get a quadrillion dollar degree while maintaining a long-distance relationship with my man only to come home, get pregnant, and stay home with the kid for the next 6 years and after that no one would hire me because who wants a vet who has done nothing vet-ish for 6 years?

Poor Liela :(

My friend wanted to be a vet tech forever, but she decided to just major in biology instead because she found out that if she was going to be a tech, she may as well just a be a vet....and she couldn't really afford it.

haha im doing the same thing :I i was going to be a vet but i might as well be a doctor lol so i said forget it and going to major in biology and work in labs lol

She works in a lab, and hates it with a passion. All I see from her are complaints about her job lol

well i love the labs at school :I it would seem like something i like cuz im so antisocial lol and being a vet id still have to work with lots of people then cry when a dog dies lol ; ;

That the act of cooking food makes me no longer hungry. If I don't get up to cook then I'm just going to sit here with my stomach growling, but by the time I'm done, I won't be hungry anymore, even when it takes less than 10 minutes.

I believe it's mostly the shifts that bug her, because she's constantly switching from mornings to graveyards ect. But she also complains about the company too. Probably just the company/bosses.

*shrugs*

sounds like a normal job :P hopefully i dont hate it with a passion lol only time will tell :I

That's the same kind of problem here. I could be a vet tech, offered through the community college I mentioned. But it's basically a secretary that works in a vet office instead of a normal office, and from what I gather, I'd usually be the one giving bad news to families. Great.

But the extra expense and having to move away to be a full vet... dang. What I might do instead is just go volunteer at the humane society as a 'career.' I'd still get to help animals and I'd be able to be with my husband. The problem is that volunteering doesn't pay off student loans, and I have a pretty pile of those.

On the other hand, I'm not exactly paying them off now by not being able to find a job that will take an English major, so it wouldn't change anything on that angle and I'd be happy to help animals. My husband is a little bit nervous to let me do that because he knows that I really wouldn't want to leave any animal behind in a shelter and would pretty much want to adopt them all. Well I'd just have to exhibit some self-control to not adopt them all and we'd be good!

I can see Liela's house by the end of a week working at a shelter:

Mine would look similar, but a bit different:

I wish SE would fix the Byne bill monster distribution in Bubu/Qufim. I mean really, who does Uragnites? Ravens and Crawlers are always overcamped because no one does them, not to mention the number of crawlers at the EP crawler area seems be half as much as other camps. In Qufim how many Rocs are there? 6? 3 EP on one end and 3 DC on the other? So then Triple Bats and Kraken are usually overcamped as well. ugh.

Also, it grinds my gears when I don't have syrup in every square of my waffles.

lack of yoruichi pictures :|

I'm not even 100% sure how this happened (I'm guessing I rested like microseconds after the guy that beat me to it?). Was an excellent motivator to go do physical activity to blow off steam:

Everything.

When I post something on my silly facebook and people flip out.

I read an article on exactly what Obamacare will be changing and how. And it was quite informative, and seemed quite legit as it cited sources for everything and stated where in the bill you could find each of the points. I found it interesting, so I posted it and said right there in the post that it was just an interesting read. Not that I agreed, not that I disagreed, just that it was informative. That's it. That's all.

So my aunt got on there, she was annoyed and went off on this paragraph of a rant about how her husband wouldn't be able to get healthcare under this bill and so on, then said it was good and well that I was reading up on it but that she hoped my reading 'started here, (with that article) and not ended here.'

I was completely uninterested in debating with her, so I just responded that I wasn't saying anyone should agree or disagree with it, just that it was informative. Nowhere, not one single time, did I ever say on FB that I agreed with the stupid bill. I thought that pointing out that I never said I agreed with it would end the conversation.

Nope! She wrote another paragraph rant about how the article is biased and all the doctors hate it and why is congress exempt from it and so on.

Lady, I already said I wasn't asking you to agree with it. And I never said that I even agree with it. She has no idea whether or not I agree with it, because I can't talk politics to my family, because they are RABID about their views. Rabid! It's like the only way to get her to shaddup is not to respond to her. She's happy if she gets the last word in. Ok fine, have the last word, but don't expect me not to post things that I find interesting or informative or that I believe in just because you hate Obama. My beliefs will be my beliefs whether or not you hate Obama and disapprove of every single thing he does.

I find that hard to believe...

I don't.

Well obviously you don't... you said it lol... but yeah I don't believe you...

What grinds my gears is when someone doesn't clean the plate off before sitting it in the sink. I'm sorry you have to take 3 seconds of your time to scrape the food you just inhaled off the plate but I REALLY do not appreciate having to do it myself once its moldy/soggy.
