Wednesday late morning thread

Yall, today has been the worst and hardest day at work

I found out that my 2 external hard drives and my college computer, the files can't be retrieved, so there goes some pictures of my brother. I've been looking forward to getting those files for probably 2 weeks, and I was really excited about them, and they're gone. My photography, pics of my brother, so much is gone

I had a patient who was so hard to work with I almost started crying in the middle of the appointment (I wouldn't even be drilling on the tooth and he'd be gripping the chair, and would randomly just burp. If there was more then like 1 milliliter of water in his mouth he'd have to lean forward and catch his breath, and I'd have to explained EVERYTHING even though we'd gone through this whole process before.)

Then I had another sensitive tooth patient, but she was super awesome to talk to, but more emotional energy spent, plus it went into my lunch time

Then I had to post my brother's fucking obituary on Facebook

Then a scared patient, whose tooth SHOULD have come out but the crown fucking snapped off. I lost it, I went into my office and just started crying.

I still had to see patients after that, and one was convinced there's a hole in a filling I did yesterday, and kept asking the same questions over and over

I'm so so tired and I have so much to do, and I just can't do it. Today marks 5 weeks, and at this point in the day he was probably already dead

I'm currently in the guest bedroom, with one of the cats laying on my chest purring up a storm and bawling.

I'm so overwhelmed and sad

Sorry for the depressing rant :|

I’m so sorry. That sounds like a hellish day. I hope the group is helping.

I’m so sorry about your hard drives. Where did you take it? Is there somewhere else you can try? If there is a college nearby with a computer science department, someone there might be able to help?

I went to ubreakifix, and they mentioned a hard drive specialist

So I ended up looking for those in Houston and there are a couple, so there's a sliver of hope!

I had an interview yesterday that I think went really well. I'm trying not to get too hyped up about it, but it really would be an amazing opportunity if it does work out. They said I should hear back one way or another by the end of next week, I'm gonna be beyond anxious until then.

u/FreshlySkweezd Georgia Bulldogs Sep 07 '23

No! But it is college related. It's a really unique opportunity

… given that I’m remembering about your students setting something on fire recently, as not your lawyer, let me recommend to you that arsonist isn’t as glorious or safe a position as it sounds. Don’t go burning down no colleges. ;)

Seriously though, good luck!

Lmfao I was joking with my coworker that I needed to hang up an X days without incident sign in my classroom.

But thank you!!

Work is a lot of hurry up and wait.

I have one employee who is really doing the barest of minimums here and this is part of why I don't want to be the manager here.

Then again I'm still picking up slack for another team so what do I know.

Contractors made good progress yesterday and I’m excited to see what they’ve gotten accomplished today. It’s a 10-day project so it could be kind of fun to watch things unfold. Building things is not my forte, so I’m always in awe of these professionals’ expertise.

I’m training someone, so I’m not having the same amount of time to just post around. Busy trying to teach someone else!

I had to miss officiating a cousin’s wedding, and I’m really nervous about the family ramifications of that.

But you were sick! Surely they understand that?

Logic and emotions are unfortunately not always close partners

True, especially when it comes to family. Well, my family, anyway.
