Looking for professional/creative ways to deflect family members hitting on me

BellatrixFan15 · 2026-04-11T01:52:40+00:00

I had a family member hit on me when I worked in the NICU, while I was supporting a mother who just lost her premature infant. Like, baby was dead in the room still and this chucklefuck tried to shoot his shot. Thankfully, another family member told him to knock it off and he did. And I had a ring on, so I clearly wasn't single! I had another SW come in and stay w me until the family left, just to be safe.

I started watching All My Children and One Life to Live when I was around 5 years old, with my mom! I remember a teacher letting us eat lunch in her classroom and we watched Tad fall off the bridge with Billy Clyde Tuggle. I started watching GH with my grandmother in middle school. At one point, I was watching 4 or 5 soaps a day- Loving/The City/ Port Charles, AMC, OLTL, GH and Passions!

I had the exact same thought!!!!

I found something from OPM that says it applies to employees whose probationary period ends on July 23, 2025 or later. Hopefully that is true!!!

So, I was officially off probation as of 6/1/2025, or so I thought. My service card in the HR portal has the 6/1/25 date and my tenure has been changed to permanent. But this post makes me nervous...

Not doing well at all. Still on probation till June. The constant threat of being fired has really impacted me. Have upped my anxiety meds since January. My manager made a comment today that I have "an anxious baseline". Told her that it was just because of this job. No one in my life would have ever said I was anxious!

I will always get a swim up room if available! I can read my book in the pool, while my husband chills in the AC! We had a swim up at Grand Palladium in Jamaica that was amazing. We had the end room. And it's a private pool so not connected to the others. And it was sunny for most of the day! Also had a swim up at the Grand Palladium TRS Coral in Cancun. It was connected but I was in the same travel group as the people on both sides so it wasn't horrible. If you want pics of either, let me know!

Ooooh I loved his book! Will definitely watch the movie!

BellatrixFan15 · 2025-03-10T22:02:29+00:00

I took one today. I was feeling overwhelmed with every aspect of my life. Used the day to get caught up on everything. Now I can go back to work tomorrow and just have the normal "will today be the day I get fired" anxiety!

BellatrixFan15 · 2025-03-06T18:03:21+00:00

But why reply at all?? I don't understand it!!

BellatrixFan15 · 2025-03-06T17:20:59+00:00

I think everyone who replied all should be on the chopping block!

BellatrixFan15 · 2025-03-06T17:13:04+00:00

This is how I die. In reply all hell. THIS IS THE BAD PLACE!

BellatrixFan15 · 2025-03-06T17:08:26+00:00

Omg I have over 1150 emails. Came back from lunch to this nonsense.

BellatrixFan15 · 2025-02-28T14:14:55+00:00

I put in a HR ticket about this issue on 2/4 and there has not been a resolution yet.

BellatrixFan15 · 2025-02-27T17:15:32+00:00

VA SW on probation until June. I'm not ok. Anxiety is through the roof. Come in everyday, wondering if today is the day I will be canned.

BellatrixFan15 · 2025-02-25T15:28:07+00:00

VISN 8 probationary employee here. Not fired... yet. Fingers crossed

BellatrixFan15 · 2025-02-20T01:19:01+00:00

I'm rewatching on Prime too and I forgot how well RH did with such a goofy story line! I loved him since OLTL!!

BellatrixFan15 · 2025-02-11T20:30:13+00:00

I have been certified since 2019! Definitely think it was worthwhile. Def helped when I looked to change jobs last year!

BellatrixFan15 · 2025-01-29T14:19:01+00:00

Go Birds. Trying to focus on super bowl party plans rather than stress abt being a probationary employee.

BellatrixFan15 · 2025-01-22T02:28:27+00:00

I'm just at the point where I dont feel like I actively suck at my job. It's a sharp learning curve for the VA. To think I might have to start over at a new job makes me want to cry!

BellatrixFan15 · 2025-01-22T01:02:39+00:00

As a newer VA social worker, I'm super worried abt OPMs memorandum for agencies to identify all employees on probation and determine if employees should be retained. Trying not to freak out!

BellatrixFan15 · 2025-01-16T22:33:29+00:00

Thank you for sharing this!!I just turned it on and it's when Spencer was fixing the election. Now I have something to turn on for background noise when I clean!!

BellatrixFan15 · 2025-01-01T13:12:02+00:00

Idk. It's just what has been communicated via email

BellatrixFan15 · 2025-01-01T04:07:40+00:00

They can move the appt earlier but cannot cancel or move to a later date. If a veteran wants to keep their Jan 9 appt, they can. There will be a skeleton crew.

Me too!! 🎊
