In San Francisco. She had been lying to him their entire relationship, and was neither a veterinarian nor had any of the schooling or certifications to be one, despite having multiple veterinary tattoos.

I had a tokay gecko named Marv that would scream if you were too noisy near him and could make marks on your skin through leather gloves. He liked shrieking at people that sneezed. Marv was discounted to half price by a Petco manager because he'd escaped the enclosure and terrorized the store for a couple days. He was a holy terror and I miss him. Next lizard is definitely going to be a tegu.

My current skink is a good buddy and he has a simple personality. He's definitely smarter than the snakes I owned way back. Not super intelligent or anything, but he poops in the same corner of his container, knows that the worm dish is for worms, and will push the worm dish to the front of his cage if he fussily desires additional worms.

gently caress Your Website posted:Honestly this depends a lot on what her degree is in and what her real-life potential earnings will actually be. If she's going to be banking serious $$$ in a highly employable field, then sure, go nuts and have fun with money that was earmarked for self-celebration anyway (although expect BF to be salty about it either way since that was supposed to be for mutual self-celebration) before diving into the workforce and paying BF back for his years of effort by letting him have a loving break to recharge too. if she's going to be making bank maybe she should get a job and take them both out to vacation on her first big fat paycheck like even if you can technically take a day off without losing your job there's nothing fun or relaxing about dropping everything and taking a vacation when you're struggling already and will be coming home to an absolute shitstorm you will be all on your own to clean up, made all the worse by the days of wages you gave up to go gently caress around and spend more money than usual. If you're the kind of person who worries about money instead of just charging the rent to the Visa, the solution to severe financial stress is to address the source of that stress, not to blow your life savings on a cathartic shopping spree.

Devil’s advocate for vacation girl, but I can understand wanting to take a short vacation after the stress of college before diving into the stress of your first real job. There may also be some unreliable narrator stuff going on, the “When do i get to recharge?” bit sounds real petty and bitter. Also, it doesn’t seem unreasonable that even the most hard-assed boss would be able to let someone take a single day off work for a long weekend or something with a few months heads-up - she did ask him to TRY, and it didn’t seem like he did. That being said, she probably should just accept that it ain’t happening and they could both start working towards saving up for a nice vacation in a year or something instead, but that'd require some kind of communication and compromise on both parts.

r/legaladvice If I was suspended from a job And they laid everyone off for that position before I was un suspended, do I still have the right to get my job back because I wasn’t technically working during the layoff? u/mitch1618 quote:I was working at my college, and was suspended due to my academic standing. While on suspension, They eliminates the position and laid everybody off. I am still under the impression that I have a job because I am on suspension and they didn’t give me any formal notice that I was unsuspended and paid off. Can I get my job back when I’m unsuspended?

It's loving wild how people just come in here and write fanfiction about how it must be the man's fault. every time. every loving time. This isn't devil's advocate, this is writing an entirely different post about an entirely different situation. they aren't married. it's all money he earned, she earned none of it. even then he put it aside as shared money for their shared goal as a couple, which she now wants to use for her and her sister. he makes it clear that he isn't some big breadwinner, and he hasn't done anything fun in a long time either. he's been scrimping by to support her educational goals. So uh, yeah, I think "When do I get to recharge?" is a fair loving question. It's also fair to be bitter that she sees the money he's been saving as available to be spent. Don't you think he would have maybe taken a vacation himself, or bought himself something nice over the past 4 years if he know the money was for "fun" and not "Our Wedding"? Of course she and everyone else would love to (and in a just world probably deserves to) take a vacation before starting work. Tough noogies. I worked when I was 14, I worked 2 jobs before starting college, I worked through college to put myself through it, and I was working F/T less than 21 days after graduating college a semester early. That's life, you knuckle up and grumble about not being independently wealthy and vote for Bernie like the rest of us born poor millennials. It's great that you've decided that his boss will definitely give him the time off and that he's just lying because of Reasons. Commencement is in less than two months, you have no idea what sort of job he has or what his boss is like. quote:That she deserves some time to recharge before jumping into the work force because who knows how long it’ll be before she could take time like that for herself. Uh, like a loving year? If she gets a job and they double their goddamn income there is no reason why they can't take a vacation together within a year.

I get the impression that she's asking him to take off an extra week, not just a day. A long weekend vacation can be done on the cheap pretty easily but it sounds like she wants to fly somewhere for R&R Since he's ultimately the one who would have to pay for all of this, and since they're struggling financially, I can understand not wanting to blow money on a big getaway vacation. If the sister is willing to pay as a graduation gift then that'd be a great thing, but probably too much to expect. She's going to have to lower her expectations from "getaway vacation" to "getaway weekend roadtrip"

I mean I wasn’t trying to say the dude is a jackass or anything, I think he’s been more than generous to pay for so much for her. But I literally did suggest they save up together for a year just like you’re suggesting lol. I will say it clearly here: her asking him to pay for her vacation when she hasn’t contributed anything is lovely, especially if she’s throwing a big fit about it. However I don’t think there’s really enough in that post to determine if she’s being a greedy leech who will never get a job and just suck up his money for years, like what’s posted at the top of this page. Rubellavator posted:He says he doesn't earn much so he might not even have a job where weekends are a thing. That's fair and something I hadn't really considered to be honest, so good point there.
