#vet receptionist

[boygirlswag]

modern au laios would 100% be a zookeeper. i feel like they'd start him with mucking out the monkey pits but hes so good with kids that they eventually just let him do shows and demonstrations. actually where's the dungeon meshi we bought a zoo au

#dungeon meshi #laios touden #senshi runs the hot dog stand but theres a million menu items that arent hotdogs and they all take 30 minutes #marcille is a volunteer receptionist shes doing this for an essay for her university course and then falls in love with falin #falins a vet (she dropped out of med school to become a vet work at the zoo) #izutsumi well. shes a middle school kid who comes to visit the panther exhibit everyday because thats her #who when in high school despite her best efforts and how lame she thinks the crew is (teenager) starts working the summers there #chilchuck is the guy who used to take his kids there and then got in an argument with marcille about ticket pricing and profits so #he started doing their finances because he solemnly believes the zoo would go under the original financial management (not wrong)

wonder if I can ask them for Pangur’s mouth X-rays 👀 I want to see the fucked teeth!

#I also asked the receptionist if she could pass on the message that I'd like the teeth #after they've been removed #and she said 'that's really weird. nobody's asked for that before' #which I thought was a bit too blunt........ahhhhhhhh #when Wheat Thick got her uterus removed the vet excitedly asked me if I wanted to see it #and whipped out a jar #im used to more of that energy from vet people!

strawberry wine

piggybacking off this post now on ao3

The kitchen's dark, save for the light above the sink. Steve is elbow deep in soapy dish water when the radio on the china hutch behind him clicks on, a soft country ballad trickling into the quiet space. Arms wrap around his waist and Steve huffs a laugh as he reaches for the dish rag to dry his hands.

He turns in Eddie's arms and is met with an expression that's so open and full of love. It still catches Steve off guard sometimes, still not used to being loved by someone who proudly shows all of his emotions on his sleeve.

Eddie takes Steve's hand in his as they sway in the dim light. Steve buries his face in Eddie's shoulder and closes his eyes, letting him take the lead.

I still remember When thirty was old My biggest fear was September When he had to go

The lyrics are like an arrow in Steve's stomach. He grips Eddie's shoulder tighter and presses closer to him as they continue to sway in the slow circle. Eddie just rubs a soothing hand up and down his back.

A few cards and letters And one long distance call We drifted away Like the leaves in the fall

Doesn't mention the tears seeping through his shirt or the way Steve's shoulders wrack with silent sobs. Eddie presses a kiss above his hair and holds him tighter while he croons softly.

Strawberry wine and seventeen The hot July moon, saw everything My first taste of love Whoa, bittersweet

"I don't want you to go," Steve admits against his shoulder, feeling a bit like a child throwing a tantrum. He thinks he's allowed to be a little selfish when it feels like his whole world is being ripped away from him.

Robin's transferring her community college credits to a state school after her gap year ends and the kids are a month away from graduation and starting their own college journeys.

Corroded Coffin's been noticed. Their gigs at The Hideout have been growing ever since Eddie's name was cleared and the murder charges were dropped and there was an actual scout at their last one. Talked to the band and showed them a pretty picture of fame and fortune.

And a way out of this cursed town.

And Steve? Steve has no idea where he's headed in life. He gave college a try three separate times after Vecna and dropped out each time after a semester. Too stupid to understand what his professors were talking about and unable to keep up with the workload while also working full time.

What good is he if the world isn't ending? If he isn't being the protector, the body they need when shit goes sideways (it always goes sideways.) His parents were at least kind enough to pay off the mortgage and cover the utilities for at least a year before they fucked off to God knows where, but once that's up? Family Video only pays so much and he's definitely not being paid to drive the brats around every weekend.

"I know," Eddie says, because they've already talked about it. The band's been invited up to Chicago to meet with label executives next month to let them hear some samples of their music, and that means the possibility of signing a contract and finally getting their big break.

Steve is so, so proud of him.

He's also so, so lost.

They've stopped dancing. Eddie is still running his fingertips along his spine comfortingly. Steve sniffs and pulls back just enough to look at him. His boyfriend has opted for a flannel over a band t-shirt today. Steve fiddles with the collar and doesn't meet Eddie's concerned eyes.

"But you have to go." He sounds like he's trying to convince himself. "I can't hold you back from something you've waited your whole life for." He gives Eddie a smile that doesn't reach his eyes. "Corroded Coffin is your baby."

Eddie cups his face and frowns. "You'll always come first, you know that, right? Even if I'm on the other side of the world, as soon as you say the word, I'll come right back to you."

Steve does know that, and it scares the absolute shit out of him. Being loved so completely and unconditionally. It's been almost three years and he's ashamed to admit he's still waiting for the other shoe to drop, for Eddie to wake up and realize he could do so much better than a washed-up has-been who peaked in high school.

For him to realize that Steve Harrington isn't actually a good dude after all.

But he wants this thing with Eddie to last longer than three years. He wants forever with him and he can only hope that Eddie wants the same. So he swallows down his insecurities and self doubt and leans into Eddie's space, pressing their noses together and taking the lead of the dance this time.

"I promise not to call too often, then."

#cj talks #cj writes #steddie #appalachian eddie #steddie ficlet #someone mentioned them dancing to this in the notes of another post #steve finds happy don't worry! he eventually becomes a receptionist at the local vet #eddie comes back from a tour like 'steve why is there a cat on the couch' #steve: surprise!! :) #ive tried fixing the italics but tumblr's being stupid

hi just a friendly fucking reminder that you should be nice to people, especially the ones who are trying to help your pets :)

#so many people say that vet med should be free #and i agree!! #but that’s not how it works and you do have to pay for things #vets/vet techs/vet assistants/receptionists do NOT make enough money in the field #we do it because we want to help animals #but if the people are fucking rude then no one will want to do it!! #and then guess what #there’s no one to take care of the animals #i’m sorry these tags are long as hell #i got verbally abused at work last night and it’s been weighing on me #rant over :) #jj rants

jackson broke 2 of his canines and while they're not down to the gum line it's still pretty worrying for infection. Called the vet and explained the situation and they immediately jumped to wanting to extract?? The tooth before even having seen him or looked at it

Idk it just feels like a big red flag when a doctor / vet jumps to a pretty serious procedure without having seen the problem yet

#over the phone the receptionist was like well we can schedule his exam dental exam AND extraction the same day!! #ma'am what do you mean EXTRACTION you havent even seen his teeth is that not a bit of a fucking leap #this vet we're using bc its my brothers MIL.... #last year Jackson had a really bad reaction to anesthesia for MONTHS and they just said 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ not our problem idk #bad vibes idk keep telling my mom to find a different vet and shes determined to stick with this one because of the family connection

[poptart-cat-78]

Feeling like absolute garbage right now. I got in big trouble for some careless mistakes I made today while at work, the point the Dr told me to take the next two days off. It’s safe to say I’m definitely out of a job after this program is over with. I was so frustrated with myself because it could’ve easily been avoided, I literally started crying because I was so mad/frustrated with myself and I think I just made myself loose my job. Ugh. Anyway if yall need me I’ll be indulging myself in my comfort characters.

#personal #textpost #the poptart cat speaks #i work at a vet clinic as a receptionist btw and i was hired through this program for 6 months #anyway i hate anxiety for making me beat myself up for it

[detentiontrack]

If I ever get more cats I'm gonna name them dextroamphetamine and olanzapine and call them dex and olly for short. I think it would be really funny at the vet.

#i already got to tell the vet receptionist CZ's full name (collector zoloft)

[stabbyfoxandrew]

vet call me the fuck back so i don't throw up challenge!!!!!

#i know he's busy i really do. but oh my god. i got the nerve to make the call and the receptionist was like 'he'll have to call back later' #and i'm like i PREPARED MYSELF and now i have to sit here anxiously until he calls back! and i can't write or do anything but sit and wait! #last time this shit happened he didn't call until 630 (an hour after the vet office closes!) SIGH i want to WRITE #old man please just prescribe my old dog his medicine!!!! PLEASEEEEEE #diaerie

sometimes i think i can't be lovable, that i'm so annoying, i'll be alone forever, nobody will ever want me but then my old job calls to confirm i'm coming in for a tech visit tomorrow and three fellow ex coworkers get on the phone to say hello and ask how im doing and tell me to text them with updates on the new job search and get so excited for me when i tell them about an interview

and honestly my coworkers from this job gave me so much confidence in myself because they accepted me and loved me and reassured me and all i ever wanted to do was be kind and loving to them in return and be there if they needed a friend and i carry them with me every day now

and so i have to believe i am lovable, because they loved me, maybe not in the way i want to be loved by someone but they gave me love i need besides the physical and romantic kind

#anyways vet receptionists deserve the world for what we go through #it's vet receptionist appreciation week this week so go bring snacks to your local vet receps and tell em they rock #that was the other thing i never worked anywhere but retail so the idea that people would bring donuts or cookies or whatever was a shock #that really happens??? i said the first few times #but at least once a week someone would buy us a snack or a coworker brought something in #dear corporate: no we are not a 'family' but dear coworkers YES WE ARE A FAMILY

He is the only dog I’ve ever had that loves going to the vet

#griffin #dogposting #no worries #we’re here for a hotspot/skin infection #that’s a recurring issue with him #but seriously he loves the vet #he gives all the receptionists and techs the biggest kisses #and the vets too #and gets SO excited he leads me to the door #as if I’ve forgotten the way #today we walked over to the scale area #and before either me or the tech could tell him #he leapt up onto the scale and struck a gd pose #waiting for the tech to get his weight #before stepping off as we were both dumbfounded #he’s too smart at times #they had an emergency come in so we’re just chilling

best part about taking butternut squash to the vets is how thrilled and delighted everyone in the vicinity gets when we say her name is butternut squash

#the vets. the receptionists. everyone else in the waiting room. they all love her so much

[marmett]

i like lepi's new vet but the receptionist sure is smth. she kept getting lepi's name wrong the first time i took her in and i tried to correct her twice and spelled it out, but then gave up and was like, fine, fuck it shes leddy now. the vet techs corrected it after i gave them paperwork for lepi that had her actual name printed on them.

also she keeps misgendering lepi which is skjnakjsd like idc its just really funny to me.

and today when i was picking lepi up she tried to give someone else the wrong cat 😭

#she is struggling... #im not upset and the vet techs and actual vets are all very good #their receptionist is just a struggler #me too though

[tytopls]

[id: three photos of me. I’m wearing a black plaid shirt with a sweetheart neckline, wide legged shorts and tights. I have wire frame glasses and am wearing red lipstick. In the first and third photo I’m sat cross legged in front of a pink wall, with my hair falling into my face a little. In the first photo I’m looking down into the camera with both of my hands resting in my lap and a neutral expression on my face. In the third I am smiling with my eyes closed, both of my hands are visible one relaxed at my waist and the other up by my chest. In the second photo I am standing in front of a door and some messy shelves, leaning back so my face is in the frame of the photo. I’m in the same outfit but with a large red cord shirt overtop and pale pink headphones. The sleeves of the shirt are rolled up to my elbows and my hands are in my pockets. End id.]

#fun fact about this shirt is that it’s actually a dress that’s so horrendously short that I treat it as a shirt #personal #tess’ influence (thought to myself I gotta be the most fucksble person at this vet clinic) #and yk what I was #and I did get judged by the receptionist for it

[hopefulstarfire]

Word to the wise; don't go walking a mile when you're sick. I'm now suffering the consequences of my actions

#kenz musings #in my defense #i had to go pick sabrina up from the vet after her spay #and hubs is the only one with a license and vehicle and he was stuck at work they would not let him leave #shout out to the incredibly kind receptionist who drove me and sabrina home bc uber wouldnt find me a driver #either time #hence why i had to walk to go get my baby.
