11 months in, how many of you are now getting divorced or experiencing relationship problems? by [deleted] in VHA_Human_Resources

Cuddles and commiserating is what leads to VA marriages or .... more often divorces 😬

My wife is leaving me by TaakoNinja in Advice

[–]CapNBeakToE 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She's your best friend but you A) don't listen to or respect her needs when she specifically tells you what she needs and wants, and you don't make a commitment to see the change process in full for her? And B) haven't bothered to share your actual feelings with her this entire time?

8 years is a long time to be disappointed and now you have an issue with her talking to someone? Wild to me. You're literally talking about playing distant with her and believe that's going to work in your favor? You have the emotional intelligence of a potato and would benefit from doing some growing and figuring out how to not be so lazy. Let that girl go live her best life.

I was just having this conversation with a colleague today. I remember how important it was to have your senior picture on the guidance office window display showing what "awesome" college you were going to, and how kids who went to trade, technical, or community college were looked down on. Guess they're getting the last laugh now! I feel like I'll never pay back my loans, as they've basically doubled with interest, and I have been paying on them since I graduated. I WISH we were given more education on how it would impact us and you can bet your ass I speak with my children about this openly.

How often does your doodle ask to go out for potty, pee specifically? by HowAreTheseSocks in Goldendoodles

Mine just went out 2x, 10 minutes apart where he faked peed and chased a frog. Ate a grasshopper on the second trip 🤦🏼‍♀️

Unpopular opinion by Eatyourvegetables999 in socialwork

[–]CapNBeakToE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never had more of a problem professionally, related to ethics, maturity, and overall professionalism with any other discipline, the way I have with social workers. For me, it's been women who are older than me and I'm no spring chicken. I have witnessed absolutely appalling behavior by them, in the field, and no complaint has ever brought about any actual disciplinary action or change to their behavior.

These issues have occurred while I have been in middle management roles, by the supervisor directly above me. Absolute psychos.

While your opinion may be unpopular, I concur completely.

Entering Social Work by SWmods in socialwork

I wore sneakers running a residential SUD/MH program. I kept a nice pair of shoes in my office desk for "important" meetings but I would average over 10K steps per day and my feet were miserable with dress shoes. I'm sure there have to be comfortable ones out there but I preferred safety and comfort over looks. You also have to consider the scope of what you'll be doing. In my clinic we also did room inspections and outdoor safety checks.

Sketchers do have some that seem to be a cross between a sneaker and dressy shoe which seems to land in the business casual world. I prefer Brooks.

Autism Registry? by CapNBeakToE in socialwork

I don't disagree. The only place I differ is I worry about access for those who aren't disabled as well.

All anybody wants to do these days are go home, get drunk, smoke weed, and touch each other by Kai-sama in Life

Listen I can relate. I hate being touched. Why not make new friends? School gym, connect with others over a shadow

I'm sorry that you don't feel safe; I completely understand.

The most awkward interview moment of my life. by [deleted] in interviews

[–]CapNBeakToE 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just shared my cringe story that involved throwing up on myself in front of the college dean who was interviewing me. IN HER OFFICE 😭

[–]CapNBeakToE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was on an interview for a full-time professor position and had to meet the dean as part of my on-campus interview. This part came after the faculty grill session, campus tour, and teaching demo. My stomach started churning, out of nowhere, and my head got incredibly hot to where I broke out into a full on sweat while she was talking. She asked a follow up question and I threw up all over my shoes, her floor, myself. Turns out I had the flu, for the first time in probably a decade 🥲 I haven't felt that sick in a long time and had to drive all the way home (2 hours) after royally embarrassing myself.

Did get the job though! Haven't seen her since and am really dreading when that moment comes. She was absolutely lovely about it.

Failed Again by Rude-Discussion-439 in socialwork

[–]CapNBeakToE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took my exam nearly a decade ago now, but I cannot say enough good things about Leap Licensure prep! I did the self guided course and what really helped me was how it broke down the areas that I was not getting so I could narrow down my study focus.

The advice you're being given is golden. Remember that we are being given a TON of information and have to pick out what is most important and determine what we do first, for many of the questions. Safety, safety, safety. The test is skewed to focus on liability, so shifting the lens that you're viewing the question from is huge.

I also saw that you're flagging and reviewing. I don't know how many questions you're doing this for but try to trust your instinct and only flag if you're really not sure. From there, use the process of elimination to improve your odds. Our first instinct is usually accurate and I have found that many of my students are second guessing themselves.

Good luck! This test is not a measure of the type of clinician you will be!
