7:50 am

Anniebrook

I am living in a cloud...it is so foggy here

7:51 am

hurshy

i just hope for not too heavy rain, and no lightning, at the times i am out on a bike today!

7:51 am

Mom

That must be an odd feeling, Annie

7:51 am

Mom

Hurshy, do you bike to work?

7:51 am

Anniebrook

It is foggy here quite often so I am used to it

7:52 am

hurshy

no, not to work, but, on thursdays, i have counselling in the middle of the day, and i bike over there. except the last few months i just parked on the street in front of work instead but that is expensive.

7:52 am

Mom

I see.

7:53 am

Mom

I would imagine parking would be expensive.

7:53 am

hurshy

aw, we can't get re8 built of en6 there :( trump went bankrupt, then he re8ed himself.

7:53 am

Mom

Cincinnati has increased their parking rates and it cost $2 for 1 hour of parking. The meters take credit cards now :-(

7:54 am

hurshy

yeah our downtown ones take cc's too but not the ones on the street where i work

7:54 am

hurshy

i was using vouchers instead of the meters though, slightly cheaper, $8/day

7:54 am

Anniebrook

In New York it cost $1.00 an hour to park at a meter

7:54 am

Mom

$8 / a day is steep

7:55 am

Mom

I can't believe New York is cheaper to park than Cincinnati

7:55 am

hurshy

what's the matter with cincinnati? (new book idea)

7:55 am

Mom

Shay and Whitney park in a lot not far from the library for $3/day

7:55 am

Anniebrook

At a meter, it is

7:56 am

Anniebrook

Parking at a museum in NYC is 40.00

7:56 am

hurshy

well mom i park in a garage usually and that's on a sliding scale according to income. i think i pay 50 something per month. it's just on the street is more. cause it's more convenient!

7:56 am

Mom

Well, Hurshy let us start with the Mayor and work our way down

7:56 am

Mom

oh my goodness Annie that is terrible. Do you have to pay to go into the museum

7:57 am

Anniebrook

Yes, we do

7:57 am

hurshy

let me see, 10 left. i have sw7, what's the other 7?

7:57 am

Mom

$50/mo is a good rate. Some garages here are $120/mo

7:57 am

Mom

Judi

8:31 am

bichon

What is slingo?

8:31 am

periwinkle

ty both

8:32 am

periwinkle

it is a game on Fb but I think elsewhere too that combines bingo with slots. very addicting

8:33 am

periwinkle

well, I am going for a walk since I did not go to my exercise class. bbl

8:42 am

Riverdance

I love slingo

8:43 am

Riverdance

9:21 am

bichon

chog is not a word. That is so wrong

9:32 am

MimiCat

Reading back, if you like Slingo, the same company has a game I love called Tinklit Supreme...really fun with daily challenges as well.

9:36 am

Riverdance

Hi Mimi - will have to check that one out, although I really do not need any more games to play..lol! Peri and I challenge each other on Slingo - I love that game. Are you facebook Mimi? Maybe we can play against each other as well.

9:42 am

MimiCat

I'm on FB, River, but only check it once every couple of weeks when I have notifications...I really hate FB...sorry. Try Tinklit, though. It's very unique and I bought it over a year ago and still play it every day for the daily challenge. I have a system on it now and my scores are actually phenomenal so now I must top myself if I play the regular game. One piece of advice...when you're choosing your options for play, don't pick Brick Mode...it's impossible and frustrating.

9:43 am

MimiCat

Let me know if/when you try it out, River. BTW, you can buy it at Big Fish Games for $6.99 if you become a member.

9:43 am

Riverdance

I dont usually buy games - there are so many free ones out there

9:44 am

Riverdance

I must get back to work - have 14 left now - feel good about that as I dont list anymore. May be back later. Have a great day Mimi and you other lurkers.

9:45 am

MimiCat

You can probably find this for free as well. It is fun. It's putting "puzzle" pieces together for points---kind of hard to describe since it isn't like anything else I've seen.

9:46 am

Riverdance

thanks for the tip - just found one more word...whoohooo - 13 to go - bye now!

9:47 am

MimiCat

Bye, River. I'm leaving, too...frustrated enough for one morning!

9:47 am

rururocks

river we need to talk sometime

9:47 am

MimiCat

{{ruru}} Hi and bye.

9:52 am

crosshair

and now it is time for crossy's tidbit of the day!! today i give you a link on a look back on one year without the internet by journalist Paul Miller of new York.he went to try and find himself,but i think in the end as he discovered,we as humans evolve in so many subtle ways that he was in fact never really lost.. http://tinyurl.com/bpqxvw2

9:53 am

Riverdance

oops, what did I do now ruru?

9:53 am

rururocks

I heard about your post on facebook about our little tiff with BR.. and I frankly found it to be a little patronizing

9:54 am

crosshair

iuh oh.he has been at it again?

9:54 am

Riverdance

I was actually standing up for you ruru but the argument needed to stop so lets not bring that up again

9:54 am

rururocks

I don't see why (regardless) of his "issues" we need to put up with weird belligerent comments that are mean-spirited, demeaning, and hurtful to people

9:55 am

crosshair

agreed

9:55 am

Riverdance

I agree as well

9:55 am

rururocks

why did it need to stop? Crossy and I were defending ourselves against a personal attack

9:55 am

crosshair

was treated quite shabbily that day myself

9:56 am

MimiCat

I'm still here, ruru, and I was part of that as well...he was quite sarcastic to me. The way you stood up to him was, I believe, justified, necessary and admirable.

9:57 am

rururocks

I'm sorry.. I haven't gone through my life as a doormat river.. and I'm not going to put up with his abusive behavior if I'm here... .I'm frankly sick of it.

9:57 am

Riverdance

I know that too. I am here to chat with my friends and have fun. It took all the fun out of it. If I appeared to be patronizing then I apologize. That was not my intention

9:57 am

rururocks

thank you.

9:57 am

crosshair

since he is a member of this group and a paid member he cannot really just be treated like a troll either.as members of the same group he has to know hen he steps over the line in as much as i hope you would all let me know if i step over the line\

9:57 am

Riverdance

I dont mind anyone standing up for themselves

9:58 am

rururocks

I am here to joke around, play the game, chat, and have fun.. if i say something objectionable.. I will apologize.

9:58 am

crosshair

as will i

9:58 am

rururocks

I don't personally attack anyone here.. at least not intentionally... and if I do.. I back off and apologize.

9:58 am

Riverdance

group hug

9:59 am

crosshair

((((group)))

9:59 am

rururocks

thanks RIVer... I just had to let you know it wasn't a "boys will be boys" thing...

9:59 am

MimiCat

I've never seen anything objectionable from either of you, ruru and crossy, and I appreciate your integrity.

9:59 am

Riverdance

I could tell that ruru - unfortunately it just shut down on the fun - and shame on him!

10:00 am

Riverdance

Neither have I Mimi - in fact I love the wit...

10:00 am

MimiCat

All families have their disputes...including the Babble family...that's all.

10:00 am

crosshair

as i recall we were having a great ole silly time just before "the event"

10:00 am

Riverdance

Now I really must get to work

10:01 am

crosshair

but,lets move on and hope that is the last of it

10:02 am

MollyL

All families DO have their disputes. And they don't need to be "squashed" because people find them "unpleasant". The air needs to get cleared. And that CAN take longer than 12 minutes. : )

10:02 am

MimiCat

Well said, Molly, and I agree.

10:03 am

MimiCat

Now I'm leaving as well...bbl. Hugs all around.

10:03 am

crosshair

now let see if there are any words in this lil grid;))

10:06 am

rururocks

good plan crossy

10:07 am

Easy one today. Good I need to mow grass.

10:08 am

Good morning all!

howdy,jilly

10:10 am

Jillyjill

REading through chog, I agree...

10:11 am

rururocks

thanks jilly

10:13 am

Jillyjill

Personnally, I enjoy the little banty and word play we do in chog. I am also able to call people out on inappropriate behavior; but I know there are those that can't do that.

10:15 am

Jillyjill

<----thankfully chog is not a word or I would be in PB

10:16 am

rururocks

I have always taken the policy of live and let live here.. a lot of people say things that are weird.. but it's an active chat.. so I take what I want. I just think that these snarky personal attacks are not cool.. .at least not anymore.

10:16 am

Jillyjill

Amen, I know 'he' pushed my buttons one night...I chose to be quiet.

10:18 am

MollyL

The thing is, at least in my opinion, choosing to be quiet does not address the issue. And frankly, I'm tired of people excusing his bad behavior with "personal issues". That is not an excuse to treat people like crap.

10:19 am

rururocks

I think that's what I said already too Molly

10:19 am

Jillyjill

I gave it one attempt but that seemed to just enflame the situation. That's when I went into lurk.

10:20 am

gemini_J13

too bad there isn't a mute button here..........

10:20 am

rururocks

yeah.. it's easy to enflame jilly.. that's for sure

10:20 am

Jillyjill

True...

10:21 am

MollyL

Apologies then, I didn't mean to be repeating what has already been said.

10:21 am

Jillyjill

As my teens learned last night....

10:21 am

Jillyjill

No Molly, i think repeating that is a good thing!!

10:22 am

Jillyjill

But it's easier to call them on it when other babblers come in and support you....

10:23 am

rururocks

I was just agreeing with you Molls

10:24 am

mael

10:29 am

rururocks

take care all.. have a great day

10:29 am

Jillyjill

Of course, I would probably be much quicker with the grid if I didn't spend so much time in the chog

10:29 am

Jillyjill

Later ruru...((hugs))---> and runs

10:32 am

crosshair

grid is not bad so far but it does have a few sharp teeth:0

10:33 am

Jillyjill

and plays to my deficit...reading to the left...

10:34 am

crosshair

it is the words that start with vowels that kill e every time.do not know why i have to fight so hard for them each grid

10:35 am

Jillyjill

and latin endings....

10:35 am

crosshair

ameobae and the like

10:36 am

Jillyjill

Finally found the corner r for nbt/nbs...

10:36 am

Good morning, afternoon, or evening to all. Having cork floors installed today, and my plan to work from the living room table is scratched ... so instead I get to play Babble!!

1:08 pm

Jillyjill

Hello ch1212! Nice! I am considering cork for my kitchen...

1:09 pm

ChrissieDee

Good choice ch12, any reason to babble is good

1:15 pm

Always flitting in and out, good way to collect clues

No thanks, need too many to even know what I need yet

1:18 pm

Jillyjill

Hey cos!! Nice to see you...BTW...usual appaling qu words

1:19 pm

ChrissieDee

Hi cos

1:19 pm

ch1212

Jilly, double check with cork in a kitchen -- usually not reccommended for that room. :)

1:19 pm

ChrissieDee

How many letters?

1:19 pm

cosdem

qu5 isnt appalling these days . or do you mean another qu word?

1:19 pm

MollyL

I second what Ch said. Too much room for water and cork mix, which is not good.

1:20 pm

cosdem

ty i didnt have it tho :)

1:20 pm

Jillyjill

Hmmm, my friend has it in her kitchen here and her home in Kona...

1:20 pm

Jillyjill

Still used in a negative way too much here...

1:20 pm

cosdem

I suppose it depends on who says it and what region really.

1:21 pm

ch1212

Kona, as in Hawaii? Wow ... if she can keep a cork floor in one of the most humid places on earth, I salute her!! Maybe my info is wrong.

1:21 pm

MollyL

Also not recommended for cat and dog owners.

1:21 pm

cosdem

is a cork floor what it sounds like?

1:21 pm

Jillyjill

Going to check a source I know...

1:22 pm

MollyL

But then neither is hardwood and tons of pet owners have it.

1:22 pm

ChrissieDee

Floor after a good champagne party?

1:22 pm

ch1212

Yes, cos. It's a sustainable substance, softer and warmer than wood, not as dentable as bamboo, has a 30-40 year warranty, so very durable.

1:22 pm

cosdem

I should tell my MIL about it she bought a new house and wants to redo floors

1:22 pm

ch1212

These days, the cork comes in many colors and patterns, so your floor doesn't look like a college dorm room.

1:23 pm

cosdem

Just googled some images. Very pretty and cozy looking

1:24 pm

cosdem

help with top row S?

1:24 pm

MollyL

Cos, it's very big with the organic, green, low carbon footprint crowd. : D

1:24 pm

Jillyjill

Just looked at site, a waterproof sealant is required. Cork floors are good for feet, good for warmth, good for environment, good for allergies

1:25 pm

cosdem

ah perfect for MIL.. shes a vegan now.

1:25 pm

ch1212

yes on all counts, jilly and molly :)

1:26 pm

cosdem

wait. that sounded like i was being nasty.. i wasnt. just saying she is one.

1:26 pm

cosdem

nvm got the S.. was using wrong combo

1:27 pm

Jillyjill

Gotta run....bbl HAGD all

1:27 pm

ch1212

No worries, cos. I suspect most of us in Babbleland 'read a comment and take it in a positive way.

1:29 pm

MollyL

Cos, Fox picked up a new drama starring Greg Kinnear (I love him) as a self destructive attorney (kind of like House, MD) who takes on edgy cases. First new series I've heard about that I'm looking forward to.

1:29 pm

A*n*i*t*a

hi, anyone give a clue on the top a plz:)

1:32 pm

cosdem

I see fox ordered "sleepy hollow" as well.

1:33 pm

cosdem

the greg kinnear show is most likely a midseason replacement. this article says.

1:34 pm

MollyL

Yes, that one looks good too. I'm waiting to see what they cancel. I'm afraid I'm about to watch my last few episodes of Touch. It's a high contender for cancellation.

1:35 pm

cosdem

touch hasnt been cancelled it but the official word is "not looking good"

1:35 pm

cosdem

whoops u said the sme lol

1:40 pm

lilliann

it has some very interesting history about the estate and beautiful gardens

4:03 pm

lilliann

i like the elephants

4:04 pm

bichon

Yes, it sounds intriguing. Hope we can make a trip there. A lot of these gardens don't have public transportation access. We'll have to take a taxi, perhaps

4:08 pm

bichon, i've just looked up excursions to sezincote and apparently you can get the number 21/22 buses to moreton -in-marsh and it takes you to sezincote,it's a 3 mile round trip or there is a taxi firm called oph taxis who do sightseeing tours to sezincote and other estates

hi momof5

You have to do too much scrolling to play this game as it is. Adding a side-to-side scroll on the chat is a pain.

4:38 pm

Soodle

Chez Soodle is Exam Central atm. I'm walking on eggshells in my own home. Roll on end of exams.

4:38 pm

lilliann

fw's! does anyone want a clue before i have an early night and read my book for hours :)

Why are you walking on eggshells?

Cos they are both 'Stressed'. Allegedly.

4:41 pm

lilliann

*aren't

4:41 pm

lilliann

bye all and tc

4:43 pm

Soodle

Personally, I think they are using the exams as an excuse to throw hissy fits at will, and if I chastise them, 'I don't understand'. Its easier to walk on eggshells!

4:43 pm

Soodle

Bye Lil. Take care. (((())))

4:44 pm

MollyL

<---Does not walk on eggshells around hissy fit throwers.

4:48 pm

Couple of weeks & t'will all be over. Sarah, elder daughter departs for Greece two weeks from tomorrow. Until August. I predict an outbreak of tranquility upon her departure.

4:49 pm

Soodle

Did I mention I'm currently watching The Tudors on Netflix? Lol

4:51 pm

MollyL

Well, that's good. I grew up in a dysfunctional home where anything "unpleasant" was ignored. I've done my best to move beyond that kind of behavior because nothing ever gets resolved that way. That being said, everybody does what they have to do.

4:52 pm

MollyL

The Tudors is a very popular show. So far, I haven't been able to get into it.

4:54 pm

Soodle

Oooh, Molls! Its Downton Abbey in Doublet & Hose. Not historically perfect, but hugely entertaining.

4:56 pm

Soodle

And, of course, there's Jonathon Rhys Meyrs......

4:58 pm

MollyL

Well THAT attraction I can understand completely.
On another note, the empty nest is getting emptier.

5:02 pm

periwinkle

5:07 pm

periwinkle

do you do you own, Molls.

5:07 pm

MollyL

I wish I could afford professional pedicures more often, but I do not live the life of Reilly.

5:07 pm

Yes Peri, mostly I do my own.

5:27 pm

Soodle

Sorry. I was elsewhere. I have hideous toes! My pedi's are DIY jobs!

5:32 pm

MollyL

Nothing wrong with doing your own pedicures. And what constitutes "hideous" toes?

5:35 pm

Soodle

Humpy, lumpy, pinky nail misshapen from years of inappropriate footwear. The usual.....

5:36 pm

Soodle

Yikes! Today's Babble should be renamed 'Soodle Confessional'

5:36 pm

MollyL

I must have been wearing good shoes all these years. I don't have any humpy, lumpy or misshapen.

5:37 pm

Soodle

Display your toes with pride, Lady Molly!

5:39 pm

Soodle

Humpy, lumpy, misshapen...... Anyone got any suggestions what I should call the remaining 7 toes?

5:39 pm

MollyL

I never went as far as wearing the goofy Birkenstock things, but I didn't cram my feet into high heels for years like some women have.

5:47 pm

Soodle

< Had to google Birkenstock. :-/

5:48 pm

MollyL

Hippy shoes. : D

5:49 pm

Oops, hippie.

Although I suppose there are hippy hippies.

6:08 pm

ch1212

Molly, I'm an old hippy. (Both kinds!) Used to wear Birkenstocks, but moved into Brooks tennies for better support. I did like high heels once in a while because I'm short, but haven't worn them in decades.

Hi crossy. I realized, while looking at some of FB posting and comments here, that you are universally adored by fellow bacon lovers ... or at least, there are a multitude of babblers who like to post all things bacon in your honor.

6:29 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

hi all, here's my sad frown for today's little grid 8-(

6:29 pm

there's something inherently weird in playing online boggle and chatting about it . . .

6:38 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

top row done woo hoo

6:38 pm

crosshair

weird can only be defined by the status quo.if you are a room full of like minded people it is no longer weird but normal;)

6:39 pm

Which is probably why so many of us feel right at home in this chat.

6:39 pm

6:42 pm

crosshair

reminds me every time about that odl twilight zone movie where you see a operationg theatre and they only show the people from the shoulders down and they are frantically operating on a woman with a massive facial deformity.you never see her face at first,it is wrapped in gauze.as they slowly remove the bandages a nurse screams,drops the tray of instruments and begins sobbing.then you hear a doctor say the operation was a failue.then the camera pans to a beautifu woman under the gauze and everyone else has reptillian faces

6:43 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

howdee wv!

6:43 pm

crosshair

howdy,teach

6:43 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

oh, geez, crossy, spoil the ending!

6:46 pm

crosshair

6:49 pm

ch1212

I will have to watch it again and look for King. I like Twilight Zone better than Outer Limits (do not adjust your television screen...)

6:50 pm

Shirlockc

squee is so a word

6:51 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

indeed, twilight zone was a masterpiece (most of the time) and outer limits was usually pretty low brow, but sometime fun. i'm a huge fan of twilight zone, not a fan or outer limits

6:51 pm

ch1212

Have tgo go again -- bbl.

hey crossy, teach, BDG :)

7:02 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

flight 33 is the lost in time ep. right. (they travel in time after breaking the sound barrier. we'll pretend)

7:02 pm

crosshair

we never saw the outer limits much.we had three channels on a big 60 foot ariel..funny.there seemed to be more quality tv to watch then than now...

7:03 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i saw outer limits when i was way to young to really understand them, but in the 1980s (?) they started coming out on VHS and i rented as many of them as I could

7:04 pm

crosshair

i watched,candid camera.twilight zone, mutual of omaha's wild kingdom and the undersea adventure of jacques cousteau

7:05 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

two probs with outer limits: 1) they had 25 minutes of story stretched into 50 minutes of airtime (usually), and ii) they usually placed too great an emphasis on the monster in each ep., which sometimes ruined the story completely

7:05 pm

crosshair

yes,the twilight zone was more subtle.they let your mind work a bit more

7:06 pm

crosshair

there was another called inner sanctum as i recall

7:07 pm

crosshair

and rod dahls tales of the unexpected

7:07 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

well, TZ was also only a half hour (except for season 4, which was an hour, and most of those suffer from the same problem as i just mentioned)

7:07 pm

crosshair

and the alfred hitchcock show of course

7:07 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

ah, yes, tales of the unexpected was usually pretty good

I did have a very nice day Molly. I had breakfast and then made a cake that I had wanted to make for several months. I put the finished rounds in the freezer to pull out and frost when we want a little treat. Then, my husband took me to a Chinese buffet restaurant for a special treat. We did a little shopping for greeting cards and then I came home and enjoyed the afternoon warmth outside.

7:52 pm

MollyL

Aw, that sounds perfect Gran Mere. I love Chinese buffet.

8:37 pm

jesdraggon

good attitude :)

8:37 pm

jesdraggon

know any veterinarians that want to move this way?

8:38 pm

crosshair

getting a bit too much custom ,jes?

8:38 pm

jesdraggon

my crotchety old associate wants to retire and be a "gentleman farmer"

8:38 pm

crosshair

hire an apprentice or 3:)

8:39 pm

jesdraggon

which is probably good, cuz there's been several issues with him the last couple years...

8:39 pm

jesdraggon

i don't have time to train an apprentice! Though I'll probably end up with a new graduate and that's sort of the same.

8:39 pm

dan2bit

woo hoo that's firewords - tx all cluers.

8:39 pm

crosshair

3 big strapping lads:))

8:39 pm

crosshair

yaa for dan!!

8:39 pm

jesdraggon

yay dan!

8:40 pm

jesdraggon

hah. hahahahahahaha. I've hired 2 years in a row now, and not gotten a SINGLE male applicant.

8:40 pm

crosshair

we have three vets all within a 10 mile raidus and they are all busy as heck

8:41 pm

crosshair

one does all the fixing for the shelter(i undersand they take turns)

8:42 pm

jesdraggon

3 separate clinics, or 3 doctors?

8:42 pm

crosshair

3 seperate clinics and three seperate docs

8:43 pm

crosshair

all with fresh graduates

8:44 pm

jesdraggon

so you've got 9 doctors?

8:44 pm

crosshair

though they have a fast turnover.you rarely wait more than 15 minutes

8:44 pm

jesdraggon

we've currently got 2 1/2, with next clinic 22 miles away

8:44 pm

crosshair

no.three buildings,three doctors,3 graduates

8:44 pm

crosshair

a pair in each building

8:45 pm

jesdraggon

ah, i see

8:45 pm

crosshair

on one either end of town and one just outside of town

8:45 pm

crosshair

think the one outside of town does large animals as well

8:46 pm

jesdraggon

how big is your town?

8:46 pm

crosshair

we have several llama and alpaca farms that must make things interesting and one bison

8:46 pm

crosshair

25,000

8:47 pm

jesdraggon

we used to have a yak farm, but they sold out :)

8:47 pm

jesdraggon

ah. you live in a MUCH more populated area than I do

8:47 pm

crosshair

yes,thanfully it is spread over a wide area

8:48 pm

jesdraggon

our town is a bit under 3,000

8:48 pm

crosshair

i would guess the eitre town limits at around 10 miles including a shorline on a bay and blue mountain

8:49 pm

crosshair

ahh tiny place,when i move here the population was 1100

8:49 pm

MollyL

Jes I would think a graduate student would be better than an apprentice, in terms of actual veterinary knowledge.

8:49 pm

crosshair

lol,i would imagine so,molly

8:49 pm

jesdraggon

Sort of. The problem with a new grad is that veterinary college doesn't actually do a very good job of teaching you to be a veterinarian.

8:50 pm

crosshair

lol "now that you have learned all that,forget it"

8:51 pm

MollyL

Have you thought about advertising in other Vet College publications?

8:51 pm

MollyL

Or are you talking about all Vet Schools in general?

8:51 pm

jesdraggon

kind of. There is a lot of stuff they pack into your head that you'll never used (I've seen brain surgery, for crap sake!) and you do very little of the much more routine things you'll be expected to do in the real world (I saw exactly 2 geldings in school, and one of those was NOT routine - a 13 year old stud and they wanted a scrotal ablation too)

8:52 pm

jesdraggon

and not a lot of context to know which of the 2 dozen possible diagnoses for any given presentation are more common than the others...

8:53 pm

jesdraggon

all of the veterinary colleges, molly

8:56 pm

jesdraggon

since most veterinary colleges are also referral hospitals, the cases you see in college are the ones that doctors in the real world couldn't figure out or passed on....

8:56 pm

MollyL

Well then, I guess I am right in thinking that a college education is not worth what you pay for it these days.

8:57 pm

jesdraggon

oh, i learned a lot. and there's no other way to get the job i wanted and now have. but there are... issues.

9:03 pm

MollyL

Hearing things like this makes me understand why college graduates are no longer getting jobs the way they used to.

9:17 pm

lbdawger

add to the age old, "No experience" in the field and you've doubled the unemployment of the college educated. (or over qualified).

9:21 pm

jesdraggon

i dunno...at least in my field, demand is high enough that new grads get hired, experience or no.

9:24 pm

MollyL

I guess I misunderstood your comments about training in vet school then.

9:25 pm

rururocks

maybe a paws between employees?

9:27 pm

jesdraggon

It would be a lot easier on me to hire an experienced doctor, but it is unlikely i'll get any applicants. so i will be doing a good bit of on-the-job training.

9:28 pm

rururocks

just keep them on a short leash

9:28 pm

rururocks

<---pulling out arsenal of vet puns

9:28 pm

lbdawger

having done 30 years of counseling and advising at the college level...there are some "fields" that really aren't employable...history, political science, fun subjects to study, but unless you plan on law school and a life in politics...not a viable degree of study. same with psychology, can't do a darn thing with a bs in psych, have to have at least a masters degree to even be considered for employment.

9:29 pm

jesdraggon

heh. yeah, the problem is i don't have a lot of time for obedience lesions, ruru :P

9:29 pm

rururocks

that's not what I hear :D

9:30 pm

lbdawger

are you looking for a doctor? how about a vet tech?

9:33 pm

rururocks

time to walk mr d.. see you later taters

9:38 pm

jesdraggon

no, ru, those lesions don't have ME holding the leash...

9:39 pm

jesdraggon

i'm looking for a doctor. I just hired another tech, but if she doesn't work out i'll be looking for another later.

9:46 pm

lbdawger

good luck in finding the right doctor to come to your practice. If they only knew what a paradise you live in they'd be flocking to your doors!

9:47 pm

lbdawger

getting sleepy, going to head for the pillows. see you all tomorrow.

9:48 pm

jesdraggon

heh. i try to get them to visit and see the place :)

9:48 pm

jesdraggon
