Today, while working at my new job at a veterinary hospital, I was excited that I set a urinary catheter in a dog for the first time. I guess I was a little too enthusiastic though, because I pulled it out too fast and bloody urine splashed up all over my face. FML

Today, while at work for a dog groomer, I picked up a new puppy that came in for a groom. I held it up at face level with me, baby talking it, when it promptly began peeing. Luckily, it didn't get on my clothes. Unluckily, it got onto my face and into my mouth. FML

Today, I was walking dogs for the animal hospital I work for. I accidentally dropped the leash, and in my haste to retrieve it, I frantically grabbed the ground. I got the leash, and a handful of fresh dog poo emitted from the dog I was walking. FML

Today, I spent two hours trying to catch a urine sample whilst at urgent care due to my inability to pee in public restrooms. I finally managed one, and was so excited by my success that I fumbled it and spilled it on my pants. FML

Today, I went to get blood and urine tests done before work. As I was attempting to aim into the cup, I lost balance and slipped. I ended up peeing on my sleeves and my pants. I was late for work and I smelled like pee. FML

Today, during my shift as a vet nurse, I picked up a gorgeous cat for cuddles, only to discover it was covered with pee. And now I am too. I still have 4 hours of my shift. FML

Today, I couldn't sleep. I had to pee really badly but I'm terrified of the dark, so I closed my eyes all the way to the bathroom. On the way, I tripped over my dog and fell face-first into the door frame. He then humped me as my nose bled all over the floor. FML

Today, I started my first day at work. When I used the bathroom, I thought I was peeing into the bowl but it was actually leaking out. My pants kindly cleaned up the mess. FML

Today, I was changing a wound bandage on one of my patient’s buttocks. I forgot to initial and date the bandage per hospital regulation. As I kneeled in to write, the patient let out the biggest loudest fart directly in my face. The worst part? Some of it sprayed out, some on my face. FML

Today, it was my first day working as a dental assistant, leaving me in charge of all cleaning. The first patient was so scared, he peed his pants. Which might have been understandable if he hadn't been a fully grown man. FML

Today, I was trying to see how far I could get away from the toilet while pissing. Instead I tripped over backwards and pissed all over my face. FML

You all are idiots. If you're in this field and you learn to do something that difficult for the first time CORRECTLY, it's very exciting. I remember being super excited when I placed my first IV catheter in front of the most critical teacher in the world. And the dog was probably sedated so he didn't feel anything anyway. OP, are you a vet? Where I work, only the vets are allowed to place urinary catheters. Just wondering.

I'm a RVT and I'm allowed to place urinary caths, if my vet asks me too. I get really excited about stuff like that too. At least it wasn't anal glands, right? And hopefully the dog didn't have lepto! It's nice to see someone else who gets excited about stuff like that. I found a toxocara on a float that just ruptured and looked like Pac Man and my coworkers walked around all day going "wacawacawaca!" at each other. Ok everyone, go back to your jobs at MacDonalds and envy us who actually have a CAREER!

I totally agree with you swgipe ....getting to do something new at your job (or at school for me right now) is so exciting. Everyone who is like 'ewe, that is so gross blah blah blah' must have very boring jobs that they dont even like....otherwise they wouldn't be so mean just because someopne was actually excited to get to do their job
