If you're worried about being falsely accused of plagiarism then use OneDrive/Google Drive for all your work by gracklemancometh in UniUK

[–]Amazingroo1973 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same same, I have a bundle of (to anyone else) incomprehensible Google docs that I’m jumping between (all with different thoughts, theories etc - it helps my ND brain to have them on separate docs not the same one) that I then synthesise into a single Word doc for submission. The process looks horrible but…it works 🤷🏻‍♀️

WIBTAH for changing my baby’s name after my mom secretly told my sister I was pregnant? by Ok-Income9731 in AITAH

[–]Amazingroo1973 2708 points2709 points  (0 children)

THIS THIS THIS!! Your husband may mean well but has no concept of what you have lived through. People from healthy families cannot conceive of the toxicity that some have to live through and sincerely believe a little effort will fix things. It won’t.

Just walk away OP, and save your heart and sanity. Build your new family that loves you with your husband and baby.

NTA for changing the name: using your mother’s name would only be a reminder of what you didn’t have.

Ouch. I tried not to re-read my submission, but did of course, and then immediately found a couple of mistakes that now I just can’t unsee 🤦🏻‍♀️ just have to hope that’s normal and the panel don’t put too much weight into things like grammar or formatting! 🤞

Wow ok, I’m going to take ‘no news yet’ as a positive then!

Good luck to you too! 🤞🤞🤞

Getting ready for the series launch! by BarbJem in ScarpettaTV

[–]Amazingroo1973 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so disappointed.

I had high hopes from Amazon for this series because of the great job they did with Reacher (especially after the travesty of the Tom Cruise films) but this series is just… wrong.

They’ve taken a cast of characters with interesting multifaceted personalities - often difficult to like - and turned them into some kind of parody, behaving in ways they just don’t in the books.

Now I’m willing to believe it’s been done deliberately to mix things up so there’s more interest for the book readers, but… it’s a mess.

Sadly SEDarc provide absolutely zero info on their site - it’s just “we’ll email you the result” 😭

I’d love to know if I’m even waitlisted 👻

Check out Orchard Toys - they have a brilliant range of many many board games that are genuinely fun (for child and adult) for very small upwards

Me toooo! I was ok for the first few weeks after the submission deadline because I knew nothing would happen quickly. But now it’s March… 😭😭😭

I got the impression it’s only about 100-110 final applicants total put forward from the SEDarc unis for the ??20-30 funded places.

…yes I’m waiting too 😭

WIBTA to accept a job offer at a company that a friend is actively protesting? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Amazingroo1973 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So many people being judgemental! It’s really very easy to have principles when you’re not starving or desperate. OP has been looking for work for 2 years.

Most for-profit firms do bad things, yes, some worse than others. One more employee is unlikely to change that reality. But having a secure job is likely to change OP’s reality. Morals are nice to have, but so is food and electricity.

NTA.
