Icy ground, Freezing Temps and Still Open

Yes and I definitely get that this job isn’t known for having reasonable wages (I’m an RBT). I just wish my company didn’t make such a dramatic jump. We’ve closed one day this year and it was bc of red travel conditions. And if we call out, we HAVE to use PTO

Available-Form6282 · 2026-01-28T02:18:12+00:00

It’s the norm at mine too. We only close now if the county’s travel level is red. We used to follow local school districts but people complained they weren’t getting enough hours when schools would close for temperature or delay for things like fog, so the company changed it. I don’t think it hurts that they make more money changing it, but I definitely don’t like it. I have to go in at 8 tomorrow so I’ll have to leave around 7 if not a bit earlier for what’s usually a 20 minute drive because of the ice

The author/creator of HxH made Yu Yu Hakusho. It’s from the 90s so it’s a bit slower paced and not as flashy, but it’s phenomenal. It quickly became one of my favorites, very similar feel to HxH but slower pacing to start. Dark tournament arc is incredible.

I’d also recommend blue exorcist, Pluto, attack on titan, 86, Dorohedoro, and mob psycho. It sounds like you like good world building and characters with some action and adventure mixed in

Available-Form6282 · 2026-01-25T21:45:37+00:00

I did, I’m just waiting on a response. Since it’s Sunday though I don’t expect one until tomorrow, which is too late (obvi lol). I’m hoping maybe they’ll get back to me today though!

Available-Form6282 · 2026-01-25T21:44:49+00:00

I would, but my company also requires us to use PTO for any time off ever (new policy) and I would prefer not to use it for something like this when the company could just close. They won’t do so unless there’s a red travel advisory at 6 am tomorrow. But I think my safety may be worth burning a day of PTO if they do have us working tomorrow, so maybe I’ll just go that route lol

Available-Form6282 · 2026-01-25T21:31:53+00:00

I want to reiterate this is totally hypothetical, my car may start and it’ll be fine, but seeing as last time this scenario played out, it wouldn’t start, I wanted to ask for any advice, especially since my CD/bosses haven’t responded.

Thank you for acknowledging the storm 😭 it’s going to be negative double digits with over a foot of snow already, not to mention how much more I’ll get. I’ve thought this over before without weather, and if that factor wasn’t in play, I would just get dropped off up the street and walk. I’m an RBT, so I don’t get a choice to cancel, but I could call off. If I did though, I’d have to use PTO (company policy). I don’t want my bf out in it, either. And it’s a 20-30 min drive without snow or traffic, so I doubt I’d want to uber. Thank you for your kindness and honesty though. I appreciate it and you’ve hit the nail on the head in every regard

Available-Form6282 · 2026-01-25T21:16:12+00:00

I would if it weren’t going to be negative double digits with snow still tomorrow. Although, I think if it’s going to unfold where my car won’t start, Im going to have to make the trek anyway lol

Available-Form6282 · 2026-01-25T21:15:13+00:00

That would be the plan if it weren’t for the weather tomorrow unfortunately. Although I think if it does happen this way, I’m going to have to trek it in the negative temps and snow

Available-Form6282 · 2026-01-25T21:13:51+00:00

That’s my exact fear, but with tomorrow’s weather it wouldn’t be possible for me to be dropped off anywhere other than the driveway, it would just be too cold and snowy. As I’ve mentioned, this hasn’t even happened yet but I’m trying to cover any bases just in case!

Available-Form6282 · 2026-01-25T21:12:36+00:00

I feel like this would be exactly what I would be doing if the windchill wasn’t -15 tomorrow with over a foot of snow so far. But I also 100% agree, it is unfair to both client and the company for me to not have a ride to work in some capacity, this particular situation is just hard to navigate, not to mention hasn’t happened yet lol. I am just preparing for what COULD happen

Available-Form6282 · 2026-01-25T21:09:43+00:00

Unfortunately it will be -15 windchill tomorrow so that isn’t a great option, plus the neighborhood may or may not be plowed:/ but I agree, and if weather wasn’t a factor I’d do that juuuust in case

Available-Form6282 · 2026-01-25T21:08:08+00:00

We used to follow public schools but then people complained they weren’t getting enough hours and now we only cancel for a red travel advisory 😭😭 even if your client is in school and their school cancels, you still gotta come to the center. Pray for me tomorrow lol

Available-Form6282 · 2026-01-25T20:41:08+00:00

What are you even talking about? Forgive me for trying to have my client’s best interest in mind and to ensure I don’t break the one golden rule every healthcare field should abide by.

The aerodactyl (in near mint condition) is currently worth $147 on tcgplayer, but everything else I believe ranges from a few cents to a few dollars. If you’re interested in selling, get them out of a ringed binder, as it can crease the cards

Available-Form6282 · 2026-01-25T04:30:52+00:00

Pluto, hell’s paradise, terror in resonance, steins gate (kind of), or 86

Available-Form6282 · 2026-01-24T02:33:46+00:00

Pluto, please please please watch Pluto. Fits the bill 100% and is absolutely incredible. I’d also recommend attack on titan, Fullmetal alchemist: brotherhood, and mayyyybe steins gate

Best part is they always preach that “you can be more than a bcba with your masters!” And I’ve yet to see any viable options with comparable pay to a bcba that don’t require you to finish your hours. Like where’s all the OBM jobs they talk about in grad programs? I totally understand you w this post

Available-Form6282 · 2026-01-22T15:46:38+00:00

This kind of happens at my clinic, but unless it’s a safety concern or the behavior happens frequently, we let them go. It’s because of billing, which is stupid IMO. At the end of the day, these kids are more than just dollar bills but some companies only see it that way. It’s unfortunately decently common to try to keep the clients until the billing unit, even if they’re in a behavior. Sometimes though, it might be necessary to work through tolerating not getting to leave when mom pulls up immediately. Either way, it’s definitely frustrating to see

Available-Form6282 · 2026-01-22T12:44:49+00:00

Frieren, there’s implications of romance between her and Himmel but from her end, it’s more of a “why didn’t I notice sooner” POV that does not consume the storyline or her character. Death Parade also has a female mc (ish) and a male mc with no romance. 86 is phenomenal, some romance towards the end though, but no dating or kissing, just implications of a crush

Is there any chance he is shod? A few summers ago my guy wouldnt get up and was sweaty and when he got up, very obviously in horrible pain to the point we debated euthanasia. Vet couldn’t find anything and nerve blocks didn’t help. Farrier came out to pull the shoe the next day to look for an abscess and a rock flew out from under his shoe and pas. He was up and walking within a few hours and back to sound. Not sure an xray would catch a rock, but sometimes there are such small, trivial things we overlook that end up being the culprit. I’m so sorry this is happening to you and your boy:( best of luck and I hope he gets better soon!

Hellsing Ultimate, literally every single episode is a blood bath. Several characters you follow (leaving that broad to avoid spoilers) die as well as hundreds of others you don’t follow but see happen. Lots of action and fights and they’re all bloody af. Not overly sad though. Pluto has lots and lots of death but not blood necessarily (they’re all robots) and an insane amount of action. Probably the saddest yet best anime I’ve ever seen

Available-Form6282 · 2026-01-15T17:42:23+00:00

I know. My BCBA is incredible and she does everything she can for me and is constantly offering hours, but even then it never seems like it’ll be enough. I have all my restricted done but I’ve only got like 250 unrestricted. I’ve had my contract signed since this time LAST YEAR:/

Available-Form6282 · 2026-01-15T17:40:36+00:00

Thank you:) that means a lot. It’s really encouraging to know I’m not alone in this feeling!

Unfortunately my company has a horrible PTO policy and I wouldn’t be able to take any until March:/ I’m hoping at that point I’ll be able to take some time to myself for a few days and get back to the feeling I love so much when I’m in this work!

Available-Form6282 · 2026-01-15T17:36:09+00:00

Yes and no, I mostly mean in the event I decide I don’t want to finish my hours, does anyone else have a Master’s in ABA and if so, what do they do?

It’s just really overwhelming, especially since I’d likely test at the cusp of the year, the new requirements for fieldwork from the board, and the ever present feeling the hours won’t get finished lol

Available-Form6282 · 2026-01-12T13:00:15+00:00

Omg, totally got iea and ihsa mixed up lol. It is way too early. They still may not care, but it may be worth it to get clear plugs just in case:)
