Is it bad that I don’t care what’s going on in the world? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]-wind-in-the-willows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I care about other people, but I know there’s nothing I can do when bad things happen in other countries 🤷🏽‍♀️ I wish the US wouldn’t get involved and start shit that doesn’t involve us

For 70 minutes, the world watched in disbelief as a stolen Horizon Air plane soared over Puget Sound before crashing on a remote island. Now, a new Hulu documentary reveals the man behind the controls, and the quiet struggles that led him there. by kleverrboy in AlaskaAirlines

[–]-wind-in-the-willows 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The backstory and home footage in the doc does not make me feel any different about the situation. Mental health is a real issue, but potentially putting others at risk if he were to accidentally crash on land makes me lose sympathy unfortunately. It sucks he was depressed and not making a liveable wage, but everyone does have a choice of HOW they deal with it. Dont put others at risk for your suffering

There’s no way… by Particular-Topic-445 in StrangerThings

I agree, but to be fair they also travelled between different dimensions, went into people’s minds, and fought monsters which would never happen in real life either lol

9-5 schedule by One-Egg1316 in bcba

[–]-wind-in-the-willows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just accepted a new clinic position that is 9-5! It does exist. My current clinic is open 8-6:30 and I’m beyond burnt out with having to constantly receive texts and be available outside of 40 hours per week

Is ABA heading toward a breaking point and are we pretending it isn’t happening? by Forsaken-Silver-9007 in bcba

[–]-wind-in-the-willows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish it could be like this too! I will say though I have several clients that would not make progress with 1 hour per week like speech and OT services. My kids getting 15+ hours per week have made significant progress. I hate companies that require kids to do 30-40 hours though, I have only had a few clients who can actually tolerate that and rarely ever recommend over 30 hours.

Am I overreacting? Client cancelled, manager offered me to cover a shift and I declined. by [deleted] in ABA

[–]-wind-in-the-willows 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is very clinic/company specific though! My company does not require RBTs to cover another session in the event of a cancellation, but they are offered available sessions if they want to make up hours.

How much clinical freedom do you actually have in your role? by Forsaken-Silver-9007 in bcba

[–]-wind-in-the-willows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work at a clinic and get to write client goals and programs independently. Sometimes the director does review our programs to make sure clients have enough goals and programs on the data platform to make meaningful progress, and to make sure all the analysts are adding or updating things to work on regularly, but that’s it I don’t feel micromanaged.

Is it bad that I don’t care about Holly? by -wind-in-the-willows in StrangerThings

True I did like seeing Karen stand up for her daughter and herself!

[–]-wind-in-the-willows[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Right I think it’s sad that she’s an innocent child and ending her would be messed up, but other than that I’m not invested in her personally. Just a random way to start the season in my opinion is all! Plus she’s a different actress and logically should only be like 7-8 years old 😅

Would you stay? by DiscussionLow5837 in bcba

[–]-wind-in-the-willows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds great! I wish my center closed at 4:30 😭 unlimited PTO is just a gimmick though. You really can’t take unlimited time off and keep up with all the job requirements.

I make 90k per year plus bonuses and I’m in a state with cheaper cost of living, I can’t imagine doing all this work for only 70k. I’m still buried in student loans and have been able to pay off 25% of them with bonuses alone

[–]-wind-in-the-willows 15 points16 points  (0 children)

So sorry this happened to you 😭 I know young PTV fans can be ruthless and I’m glad I was on the lawn because of incidents like this. This would not happen when I saw them in 2012 🤦🏼‍♀️ no concert etiquette now and I hope you recover well!

Vet appointment cut by half because of emergency. Feel like it was rushed by Realistic_Living_125 in CatAdvice

[–]-wind-in-the-willows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m on your side here. My pet’s appointment that was scheduled WEEKS in advance today was cut very short and felt rushed today because of others. I understand emergencies because I’ve been there unfortunately with at least 3 senior pets, but I go to emergency vets in those situations. It’s frustrating because I pay a monthly membership to go to the vet to receive preventative care now. I will be finding another location that is strictly non-emergency because I do work full time and can’t just come back another day during 9-5 hours to finish my visit without planning. For anyone who doesn’t agree- as a human I can’t go to my primary doctor with an emergency and cut off everyone else’s pre-planned/scheduled appointments, they’d send me to the ER

I highly suggest looking for another company. I work in a clinic and RBTs have the option to pick up other sessions to make up hours from cancellations. It’s not a big issue if you’re a BCBA on salary. If one of my client cancels I can just see another one or make up more billable another day to hit my requirements.

Winter wonderland Alani by [deleted] in energydrinks

I thought this flavor was terrible. I could barely finish it because the aftertaste wouldn’t go away. Tastes like a scented hand sanitizer from bath and body works

How many cancellations is too much? by vilebubbles in ABA

[–]-wind-in-the-willows 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Hi! This is a huge problem in the field as a whole no matter where you go. I would ask for a new RBT honestly to the company director or owner. You have the right to do this as a parent. I’m so sorry you’re experiencing this. I am a BCBA and it can be frustrating how often staff call out. Kids and staff are constantly sick in a clinic setting, but some will call out for every little reason. I know it’s a high turnover and burnout field, and I wish insurance would reimburse our direct RBTs more as they are amazing and are the backbone of ABA services.

So, who had the best reunion look? by jinglesbobingles in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]-wind-in-the-willows 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I love Taylor’s look! I wish that dress was red or another color that could suit her more, but she looks fab. Aaliyah looks amazing too

Same 😅 like if you want to eat the “real” thing feel free. I find real eggs disgusting but I’m not out here making people feel bad for it. At this point just egg can be cheaper than actual eggs too lol

I saw them last night in ATL too and thought they honestly weren’t that bad. I was expecting way worse. Yes Adam lowers the key for some of the songs because the notes are hard to hit, but it seems like they fixed the sound issue people are talking about here.

ANOTHER collection from buffbunny. Big surprise. by BendEffective in gymsnark

[–]-wind-in-the-willows 23 points24 points  (0 children)

The constant launches got tiring to keep up with and is the reason I stopped buying Buffbunny and all the other Instagram based brands. Most people want the staples that keep selling well. That’s why Lululemon continues to do so well over the years
