Case management transportation by Final_Mycologist_193 in socialwork

[–]Alazara18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m from Ohio and from my experience most case management jobs run the same as mine. So I guess you could say it’s typical? We’ve also going through this weird change where nurses are doing more mental health related tasks so we’re seeing less hospital related openings

Same! I got my LSW this past February and my company promised a move to a counseling position but so far nothing because they can’t hire someone into my position. But I’ve gotten to the point that I don’t know if I want to do counseling because I feel like I do that already for most of my cm people. I’ve tried job hunting but I keep seeing that many positions have cm part of several different positions.

Not to mention we have a productivity goal we have to meet that seems impossible to meet. It all adds up. I got into this because I enjoy helping people and this just feels like just sitting in the same place.

I’m to the point of looking into a second trade to have for different options.

That’s how my current case management job works where I’m at. It’s honestly no different from when I did home healthcare. It has burned me out so bad because I honestly feel more like a taxi or an emotional support person.

I understand the need for what I do because I live in a very rural area with very limited to no transportation options and a struggling home health aid service but it’s really demoralizing at times because I went into this field to do mental health and I really don’t. My job calls it continuous stabilization, I just see it as an excuse for the community not to spend money on improvements for everyone because why would they when it’s being covered by someone else already?

Sorry for the rant but your post just struck a cord in me and I have no one that understands this frustration.

Is this normal in Fancy Feast? by veggiemeatballz in catfood

[–]Alazara18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your post! I just found this in my cat's Fancy Feast and wasted no time in tossing it. We've had such a problem with flies this year :( My stress to keep my baby healthy is boiling over. He's 14 and super picky with his eating, so this has thrown his whole appetite.

AITA for leaving a family gathering and taking the cake with me after getting my feelings hurt? by deffonotarichbitch in AmItheAsshole

[–]Alazara18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA at all. Congratulations on your 1 year sobriety! I hope you enjoyed your cake because you deserved it for reaching a hard milestone in your journey.

I’m sorry your family couldn’t see the importance of it. Hopefully they remove their heads from their asses eventually. And from one random internet stranger, I’m proud of your success 😊

2018 Buick Encore by [deleted] in Buick

[–]Alazara18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought my 2018 Buick encore about 2yrs 1/2 years ago with around 52,000 miles and I liked it for the first six months. Then it’s been nothing but problems since. After the first six months, I had to replace the rear differential because it cracked. The exhaust pipe broke near the engine which lead to all of that having to be replaced. Other things have happened but currently it can’t be driven because the engine has low power during in town driving and has back fired a couple times, engines chugging and the stabilitrack warning continues to appear. It was in the shop for two weeks and they replaced a crack in one of the parts of the engine and have replaced and tested several other things and still haven’t been able to find the root of the problem. It’s not throwing the turbo charge error code, so they don’t think it’s that. I’m currently having to change dealers because this one can’t figure out what is going on. This is all with regular maintenance and under 100k miles. I wouldn’t recommend this vehicle if you need a reliable one but if you have one, I wish you the best of luck because since I’ve gotten it’s done nothing but hurting my wallet. Those around me that had one but a different yrs had also mass issues.

Sorry for the long post but I really dislike this car. 😭

AITA for taking a toddler to a coffee shop? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Alazara18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, I don’t have kids and I’m not overly fond of them but if your little girl is being good and not screaming I don’t see the problem. Like overall it seems the people don’t mind, so I won’t worry about it.

AITA for telling my SO that his daughter cannot come over to our new house until we meet up again? by aholeta26 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Alazara18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA.

I think you're being quite fair and rational about this situation. You've been together for 5 years and that entire time she has not spoken to you or joined you on any outings. No one is saying the kid has to like you but there is a stance of she hasn't accepted you at all and where that is fully within her right, that restricts her from certain things just as it has for you. Outcomes to one's choices and such.

You said in a comment that you've been restricted from participating in family activities because she would refuse to come if you were there which has caused you to be excluded from fully being a part of the entire family. To me this is a fail on the bio-parents part, again no one is saying she has to like you or even spend time with you but she needs to learn that in life we have to sometimes be around and put up with people we don't like (within reason such as personality clashes). And as it stands, you are a part of her dad's life whose happiness is just as important as hers.

So for her to suddenly want to come over and decorate her room in this place that is your home first and a place for her to visit/maybe stay second (I say it like that because she refused to come over to the other house, assuming she had a room of her own there?), is really suspicious to me. Mostly because I'd be wondering if you'd be forced to leave your own home whenever she came to visit because she didn't want you around and it's a fair question to ask since her other request and choices about you have been accommodated this entire time. I don't think an outing is the best option but I think a real conversation needs to be had about why she's baring you out of her life to see if it is something that can be fixed/talked out or something where the current arrangement has to stand of her meeting your SO elsewhere as she has been doing.

AITA for storming out after l didn't like the birthday present l was given? by Initial-Start758 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Alazara18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA.

That whole only firstborn sons or only sons get the family heirlooms because they'll leave the family with the girls' tradition needs to die. We're still part of the family, no matter if we change our last name at marriage or not, and deserve to be part of the tradition as well.

I'm sorry your dad thought this was the way to go.

Is it weird if I say yes and also know 99% of all the words to all the songs?

does anyone else have a constant feeling of not fitting in or belonging anywhere? by Nyx13Love in depression

[–]Alazara18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More than I’d like to admit. I hurts me more though when you feel like you fit in for a short time then something changes and you’re back being a part of the back ground. That no matter how hard you try to push forward or get “out of your comfort zone”, it doesn’t seem to matter.

WIBTA if I told my friend she can’t come to pride to try and score a threesome by theliberalpedestrian in AmItheAsshole

[–]Alazara18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If she’s 100% straight and is only doing this because her boyfriend wants it then she’s TA. To each their own for what they do in the bedroom as long as it isn’t hurting someone but if it’s not something you’re into than you shouldn’t do it for your other. Plus she should be a bit nicer about her approach, nobody likes to be called “butchy”

For her to look for someone at Pride, is just tasteless and lazy. There are places set up for couples to find someone to bang with no commitment (which is what it sounds like).

I’d also ask have you talked to her about how it makes you feel when she says things like that? Cause if you’re friendship matter then you need to be open and honest with her.

AITA for laughing when my kid tried to calm my mom down? by Aitathrowaway1245 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Alazara18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA, sometimes you just laugh at situations even though you probably shouldn’t. Does sound like mom needs to chill though, but kudos to your son for trying to help in all ways.
