Are you terminating them because of the threat of vandalism, or are they unstable and you want to prevent any 'episodes' of them returning to their soon to be former employer to cause trouble, or is this SOP for anyone being terminated?

Sorry.. just nosy, I guess.

They have been disappointing in general, things are not kosher but there is no specific item to fire for cause so we are going with the old stand-bye of "the corporation is taking a new direction..."

I just got stuck with a needle

Ahh... so far, all of the layoffs here have been rather trouble-free.. We had a network guy quit, and occasionally taps into the network from outside and messes with things (deleting files, moving stuff around ... Juvenile prankish stuff...) Management ain't happy with that, as you could imagine.

It's Ashley. She can't breathe. Or, she's struggling for breath, anyway.

I'm still not all that familiar with this area, having recently moved here, but I saw a "Pet Hospital" sign a couple miles south during the move. I took her there.

Them: "Can I help you?"
Me: (Pointing down to Ashley) "She can't breathe."
Them: "Is this an emergency?"
Me: (Wanting to rip the idiot's throat out for asking such an assinine question) "Yes"
Them: "We charge $80 for the initial exam. Can you pay that much?"
Me: "Of course."
Them: "Good. Come back here in three hours and the doctor will see you."

No... I'll never go back to that pet hospital again. My dog is gasping for breath and you casually tell me to come back in three hours? Yeah, right!

Ashley seems to be doing a bit better now, though. She's sleeping. But, I'm seriously concerned. No, I'm scared. This is the second time it's happened since we've moved. The first was about three weeks ago. I'm worried it might have something to do with her heart. She was diagnosed with an enlarged heart almost exactly two years ago...

I'm Googling for other pet hospitals and vets in this area...

She is a werewolf

As someone who harbors an inner beast, I can relate to her

I'm sorry Lonnie. I hope you find another pet hospital. I've never had one treat us like that, especially during an emergency!! I hope it's something simple (our cat was having breathing trouble recently...it turned out to be asthma) and she'll be fine soon!!!
