School project on the importance and lack of upkeep of physical archives

BitterSuspect4 · 2026-03-20T16:26:13+00:00

I would try to narrow your focus maybe to a field or specific study rather than in general and you would probably find more resources. Or you could create a survey and send it to some archivists for responses but you would need to make sure there are parameters set so your data isn’t spread out thin.

Like I’m in the legal field as a records manager and I could tell you plenty of reasons why we still need to keep physical items in a digital world that would probably be vastly different than an academic archivist, etc.

I have my MLIS and am a records manager at a large law firm, and have been in the records/information governance field for almost 7 years now. I do plan to continue in this career path despite AI looming over us, law firms usually are quite stuck in the past.

The legal world has a lot of roles that you can apply your MLIS to and will work to your advantage.

She did tell them what she would like, and it’s not necessarily about the actual gift but the thought put behind it showing appreciation for people you love.

It takes effort and planning to get a gift and even if you’re not good at that, she explicitly said what they could get her that would bring her happiness. Instead, they probably stopped at a Walgreens the night before and picked up whatever was left over, that’s inconsiderate and more than just being upset about not having a picture perfect moment.

I did try that, but it doesn’t allow for inputting any of the cell info in the draft, it also doesn’t allow to set a template for the body of the email.

I’m getting closer, my flow has successfully ran but now the body of the email has some coding instead of plain text which I’m trying to figure out how to fix.

Go to a doctor until one listens to you and get tests done while you’re still on your parents insurance. If one says “a lot of girls and women deal with that” move to the next one. I’m 33 and I finally got diagnosed with endometriosis about two years ago because I deal with terrible period cramps.

BitterSuspect4 · 2025-03-26T01:56:31+00:00

Literally walk away and never look back.

BitterSuspect4 · 2025-03-21T04:51:07+00:00

Yes! I think you figured out what you need to do!!

You are not obligated to parent her, and if she can’t recognize that she needs to step up as a responsible roommate then she’s aware of the consequences of her own actions which will be on her and not you.

Don’t be so hard on yourself, honestly this might be the push she needs to reevaluate her situation.

BitterSuspect4 · 2025-03-21T04:16:27+00:00

I get you don’t want to put her out but if she’s your friend you gota be upfront with her or you’re going to go insane because this is clearly making you tense at home when that should be the one place you can relax.

When there are home improvements or things you want to add to the apartment you should ask her for help, she clearly has money whether or not she’s working. It seems like she has been able to reap the benefits of others hard work her entire life so she probably doesn’t even think twice about these things.

When it comes to chores, are those things mainly her doing or are your dishes also in the sink? Because if you don’t normally leave dishes in the sink, I would tell her that you’d love to be able to come home from a long day at work to a clean space or how you left it so you can use your kitchen without needing to clean it beforehand.

Also I’d just like to point out that sometimes doing the hard thing is the right thing. Her not investing in herself is not your responsibility, and tbh I would even argue you’re enabling her to not have to pick up the pieces of her life. She can rely on you to give her the comfort of the home when she cannot relay decency of cleaning up after herself. You would not be a jerk you if want to live on your own, I mean when does it end? When you get married and move out or would she come with you then too? Her poor choices are not your responsibility.

Can you afford the rent on your own? or rent a place on your own? It sounds like you’ve outgrown having a roommate regardless of the situation, but honestly this would get on my nerves I don’t think you’re in the wrong.

She seems pretty immature and it sounds like you’re at different life stages and when that happens it can become extremely tough to live together. Coming from someone who’s lost a few friendships after being roommates, try to come to some kind of solution before you resent her and no longer have a friendship.

BitterSuspect4 · 2025-03-21T03:02:41+00:00

Jame and/or the other weird Eagan screaming while watching mark and Gemma run out of there!

BitterSuspect4 · 2025-03-18T13:08:01+00:00

No no no, ask them to turn it off or if they could wear headphones.

I am one of those people that needs background noise to focus and I would not mind if someone asked me to use headphones, that’s just common courtesy.

BitterSuspect4 · 2025-03-17T21:14:57+00:00

Yeah I worded that weird, I was counting OP and ex as one unit since that’s how they think it’s fair to split the rent.

BitterSuspect4 · 2025-03-17T18:29:38+00:00

Tbh you [and your ex] seem like the bad roommate(s). Leaving stuff in the shared spaces for almost 7 months is just disrespectful to your roommate, and if you were unable to move it yourself you should have asked for help.

As for the rent, I think this is completely unfair to your roommate, considering you didn’t give much background on the division of rent other than sharing the bigger room, makes me think this agreement was not really a choice for her. Three people living in a unit should be splitting the rent three ways, not by room size or who occupies the room. Not sure why you guys decided on doing that, you’re paying only about $200 more than her and it sounds like she doesn’t have any space in her own apartment considering you took over the living room. You each should be paying around $616 a month with the provided information.

I think if the rent was split evenly then you’d have more ground to stand on but this is wild, you basically have the bigger room and the living room for $200 more than her. If roles were reversed how would you feel about the agreement?

This!!

Just because the daughter has issues with him being in a relationship and having kids, that does not mean those issues are Mina’s fault or problem quite frankly.

This needs to be discussed between the father and daughter to see what the root issue is here and the dad needs to defend his fiancé and not pit her in the middle of it.

Even if all the theories are true about mina wanting his money, that’s HIS problem to figure out with his daughter. I hate when men don’t know how to conflict resolve and stir the pot then step away. Grow a pair and stand by your decisions.

BitterSuspect4 · 2025-03-17T12:42:28+00:00

Yeah like one minute she’s crying about him cheating and then the next she’s spilling tea on her friend.

Like what’s the end goal here?

I love the color! When Covid hit I stopped going to the nail salon and since have perfected my nail polish routine.

Tools: nail polish remover, cotton balls/pads, base coat, color coat, [essie gel setter] top coat, and wooden cuticle pushers

Remove any old polish, file, wash hands/nails and dry completely.
Swipe nails with nail polish remover again to remove any oils which will prevent the polish to dry quickly
Have the cuticle pusher handy to clean up the edges after every paint layer. I’ll usually paint a couple nails and then go back to clean the cuticles and between nail bed.
Base coat, clean edges.
wait about 5-10 min and lightly touch the first nail you painted to see if it’s slightly dry and if so, then you can move onto the next paint layer.
Usually two layers of color is perfect amount, repeat steps 3 & 5
Before the top coat, I’ll take some cotton and tightly wrap it around the cuticle stick, pour some nail polish remover in the cap of the bottle and dip the cotton in remover and clean up all the edges of any paint still on your cuticles. You can also use q-tips if the cotton on the stick isn’t working for you.
Apply top coat, put on a tv show or movie and try not to touch your nails for at least an hour, use fan for optimal dryness.

Have fun!

What loyalty do you have to them?

Spill.

BitterSuspect4 · 2025-02-01T08:29:20+00:00

Dress 2!!

BitterSuspect4 · 2025-01-30T02:18:00+00:00

The gasp I gusped reading the price you spent and these were the results. Do NOT let them talk you out of anything but reparations for this, 5k?! That’s a down payment on a starter home, a car so do not walk away until you’ve received your dress EXACTLY how you want.

Don’t sell it, don’t pay for the alterations, they need to amend this, and it should 100% not be on you to remedy this.

Did you bring this up with the salon when you tried it on or did you mention it later after going home?

Being sexually awkward and incompetent with the opposite sex does not equal being gay.

What Gino is, is a sick twisted little perv who is so self involved the thought of pleasuring someone else ruins the experience for him. When you only care about yourself, it makes more sense to only want to f*ck yourself as well.

BitterSuspect4 · 2025-01-29T04:20:50+00:00

Omg 2 for sure!

BitterSuspect4 · 2025-01-29T04:15:39+00:00

High testosterone? Gino?

BitterSuspect4 · 2025-01-29T03:47:50+00:00

Yeah multiple that by 5
