I imagine your job has a heartbreaking side to it. When people have to bring their pets to be put down. You must see your fair share of broken hearts.
Yes, but euthanasia is relatively rare at the office where I work. The doctor is very strict about which patients he'll agree to do it for. They can't be first time patients and it has to be a truly valid medical reason. He takes euthanasias very hard.
Which is a huge difference from the clinic where I used to work. Their policy was that the staff were only allowed to ask if the owner wanted to be present and what they wanted done with the remains afterwards. We were not allowed to ask why and if the pet owner told us why we were not allowed to say no, regardless of the reason. That broke my heart worse than anything.
Maybe the lack of talent in the male department, and all those fires is a sign you should move! Maybe not the severity of those winters but something inbetween?
The trouble with that though is I'm actually rather anti-social IRL and struggle to make friends. The few I do have are former coworkers plus one holdover from high school.
He may be waiting for you to admit that you suck. I'm not sure, just my guess as a celt whisperer. When two stubborns collide.
I have admitted that I suck, just not in the way he means. I mean how more obvious could "is that a request?' be?
When did you become an atheist, Miss Vicky? Why atheism?
My faith was never strong so it wasn't hard to lose. I believed in God because people told me there was a God. My faith in God was never any stronger than my faith in Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy. It started with just doubting any 'proof' of his existence when I was about 13 or so. These days what it comes down to is that I see three possibilities in terms of the existence of God:
1) He is all knowing and all powerful and stands idly by while horrible, horrible things happen in the world and therefore is not worthy of worship.
2) He is not all knowing and all powerful and stands helplessly by while horrible, horrible things happen in the world and therefore is not worthy of worship.
3) He does not exist.
I choose to believe 3.
