things are crappy right now (sorry if this is long)
So basically I didn't get the job - I found out through the online system and no call as of yet. Which I think is horrible if you ask me, coming from someone w/2 AU degrees and a husband that works there. I'm not asking for preferential treatment, just a courtesy call. That's respect.
Oh well. I'm stuck here at this crappy job but thankful I have one.
Then my mom calls yesterday to say that our family dog is about to pass away and she's not sure she'll make it through the night. She hasn't eaten in 3 days and won't do anything. My mom had been crying most of the day. I hate that I couldn't be with her and hadn't seen Lacy (the dog) since Aug. We got her when my dad passed so it's just sad all around.
What a crappy weekend. It got to where, me, yes me, didn't even care about the end result of the game b/c there were other things going on w/me.
I'm just sad, disappointed, but know there's much to be grateful for.
ok, sorry such a sad, long post.
Love yall.
KT
** update, the vet has told my mom that they will put her to sleep tomorrow (Lacy) so as not to let her suffer any longer.
Re: things are crappy right now (sorry if this is long)
i'm sorry katie
anytime i hear about someone's pet not doing well it makes me upset. is your mom planning on being with her in her last moments?
i'm also hate that they didn't even call you..that's unprofessional and i hope they regret their decision. hopefully things will start looking up soon *hug*
Blog!
yeah, my mom is going to be with her. They were going to do it today but my mom said she couldn't go back to work afterwards, she knew she would be too upset. So they are doing it tomorrow unless she passes away on her own.
Thanks for the sweet words Crystal. I've just been an emotional wreck on all accounts.
Hey Katie - I am so sorry! That really sucks about the job and totally crappy that they couldn't even give you a courtesy call. I would be frustrated too! Maybe there is a better job out there waiting for you - I know it probably doesn't seem that way right now, but you never know!
And I am so sorry to hear about your dog. That must be especially hard for your mom : ( It is never easy going thru that! In fact, it always makes me teary just thinking about it. Will keep your family in my thoughts and prayers!!
thanks yall, I know God has a plan (as DH reminded me, what a good guy) and that I have to keep remembering that. I may not know what it is, but I have to be ok with whatever He has in store for me/us. So yes, hopefully something better is to come my/our way.
as for Lacy, I know she's better off, its just hard that I don't get to say goodbye. I'm glad my sis and stepdad are there w/my mom. It's just so sad as many of you know to go through this.
Thanks yall
Hey girl...sorry things aren't going well. And really sorry to hear about your job and your dog.
That was definitely VERY unprofessional but unfortunately, I'm not surprised b/c from my experience I think that's how AU works. They kind of leave you hanging for a while, sometimes indefinitely. I have found out about not getting a few jobs on the AU website instead of through a phone call. I will tell you something that may make you feel better. A friend of mine applied for a job at AU, interviewed and they told her she didn't get it. A few weeks later, they called her back and re-interviewed her. Again, she got a call that said she didn't get the job. A few weeks went by and they called her back and offered her the job.
((hugs))
i'm so sorry you are going through all of this! i know it all really sucks, but i am a firm believer in the saying that "everything happens for a reason". i know that things will get better soon. hang in there!!
Katie, I'm so sorry that you're having to deal with all of this. I'll be praying that you get a job that you love, yet as we all know, God works in mysterious ways, so hopefully, he has something MUCH BETTER worked out for you.
I hate to hear about your lil pup too.
Katie I'm sorry you are going through a rough time. God does have a plan for you, and knowing your awesomeness it'll be the best thing ever. Just keep your chin up
I'm so sorry about your family dog. It really is one of the hardest things to go through.
My prayers are with you and your family and I hope that things turn brighter soon for you
thanks yall. I'm just going to continue to pray about all this but am grateful for a wonderful DH, friends and family.
I appreciate all the kind words. I needed it today.
(((HUGS))))
I'm so sorry things aren't working out for you. Just remember there are still better things out there and you won't be stuck in that crappy job forever.
I'm also sorry about your dog. Our family dog that we've had for 9 years passed away at the end of July. He was doing the same thing Lacy was, not eating, and also he would go off for several days (that has been the pattern with most of the dogs we lost). My mom was so attatched to Stinker (the dog) so she took it really hard. Just remember we're all here for you if you need us.
I'm so sorry things are craptastic. Hope they start looking up and you find an ever better job opportunity. Sorry about the doggy. :-(
((hugs))
thanks for all yall's sweet words.
I know the job situation will work out eventually. God has something in store for me, I know it.
So my mom told me that our other dog, Chichi (she's a chihuahua - but the sweetest one you'd ever meet) won't leave Lacy's side. She's consoling her and it's breaking my mom's heart b/c she knows Chichi will be so sad w/o her sister/playmate but sweet that she knows something is wrong and wants to be by her side.
aww..no i feel bad for chichi! make sure your mom gives her extra attention in the coming weeks. and i'm glad someone will be there with lacy at the vet. she'll feel so much more loved with her by her side
when i was working at the vet school we had to put one of the dogs down because his health was deteriorating fast and he wasn't eating. well his kennel neighbor, brad, took it really hard and then a few weeks later brad's kennel mate also had to be put down. i felt SO bad for this dog because he'd cry constantly and got worse when we'd take a dog out of the room for a bath or walk.
it broke my heart
Blog!
I missed this post earlier, sorry.
It is so hard to let go of a pet. I will say a prayer for your family.
Also, keep your head up about your job. I got passed over for a job I thought I would get and couldn't understand it. I ended up at a much better job. Things really do have a way of working out.
Oh I know Chichi will get lots of attn and love during the next few wks. My stepdad is going w/mom tomorrow to the vet as well. He loves Lacy too so hopefully my mom will do ok w/him there but I know it will still be hard.
Thanks yall.
