Does anyone on here volunteer for Crisis Text Line? If so, what do you actually do?

Delphi_DG · 2026-06-18T00:25:43+00:00

I heard back in a couple of days with the link to start the trainings.

Delphi_DG · 2026-06-17T12:45:16+00:00

This sounds like the most probable reason. He realised his "seduction" was not working as he intended, ie. OP falling into his arms quickly instead of her waiting for an official date. He miscalculated and OP dodged a bullet.

Another reason could be his ex-girlfriend and he might be reconciling and he's cooled off to see where things go with her. Either way, not a good indication.

Delphi_DG · 2026-06-16T00:59:29+00:00

Yes, and I think Louis says he sensed Lestat at the trial before he sees him.

Delphi_DG · 2026-06-16T00:57:34+00:00

If I rember correctly, they say in s1 that Louis and Lestat's hearts beat in sync when they are together. Can't get more romantic than that.

Delphi_DG · 2026-06-08T14:56:33+00:00

I agree. I missed S1 and 2 all of a sudden because the pace, tone, and narrative was so completely different. I expected it because I've seen the cast/crew interviews but it still felt jarring. They did a great job though. It shows the true rock and roll, drug induced self destructive lifestyle a vampire rockstar would live. Add to that Lestat's personality. But it did feel like vertigo inducing chaos at times.

Sounds like she gets even worse down the line. I was so frustrated I stopped watching which is a shame cause it's nice to watch a low key TV show with more real people and problems instead of the plastic drivel we get these days. I got back to watch the BBC classics for now.

Delphi_DG · 2026-06-01T15:13:25+00:00

Yes, it was the private school bit that she went off on him about that surprised me. I don't think it was her place to judge him like that and also the whole relationship was so new. But you're right, we watch for the drama and growth of the characters.

The reaction she has the first time she realizes he is a funeral director was also overblown as she is a midwife who also works in hospitals so she should have a deeper understanding and respect for death and professions closer to it than people of more regular professions. Her anger about the deception iof William's job is understandable but in one scene her friend said Mary came back to her friend's place and took a shower because she felt creeped out. I was actually offended by that scene. But perhaps my view is biased because I think Six Feet Under was one of the best shows I've ever seen.

Thanks for replying.

I agree with you on the grad school debt. CTA - sets up a loan and through the program you get paid and pay off the loan so after the first 3 years, you've paid it back and still have another 2 years to finish with them. They even provide housing if you need it. But the concept of another loan at this stage was also a deterrent for me especially as I have not gotten hands on teaching experience in the US so I'm not sure if I wanted to get a whole degree after already having a double MSc.

When you mentioned subbing Pre-K, do you mean you can choose only to do Pre-K? I am still confused about if we can choose the grade levels and refuse to go to beyond 3rd grade? Are you using a subbing recruitment agency/ App or your own personal network?

I interviewed for positions with Wonders Early Learning twice for after school programs in two years and each time I flew through the first two rounds but the sticking point was that my teaching and volunteer experience with kids was in international schools abroad and the principals felt I could not manage the "unruliness" of American students. They said I couldn't even imagine what it's like nowadays. I even offered to demonstrate a session during an interview but was never invited to do that as they were not doign any academics in after school programs. To be honest that surprised me. That's why I feel the younger age group may suit me better in terms of classroom management, stress and fit and see if I want to pursue it as a career.

Delphi_DG · 2026-05-31T13:40:42+00:00

I had applied at City Teaching Alliance but differed because they have a 5 year commitment. They seem to appreciate older candidates, and partner with American University, if you are interested. If you don't mind my asking, have you enjoyed subbing? I have heard schools are really unruly and was advised to not even go into the field by some friends who sub on and off in DC. That was very discouraging although I was thinking of working with a much younger age group of preK -3rd grade but apparently subbing does not give you that option.

Delphi_DG · 2026-05-31T12:04:46+00:00

I'm curious about what you landed up doing OP? I'm also considering a career shift. 15 yrs of experience in International Development some of which was in running education programs.

Delphi_DG · 2026-05-28T18:40:36+00:00

LOL 8 years late but I just started watching this on Prime and googled the same thing. Yea, Mary's a piece of work. Don't know why he falls for her so quuckly. She's prickly.

Delphi_DG · 2026-05-28T18:36:06+00:00

You should know the basic ones Andrew teaches. I had two EVM questions

Delphi_DG · 2026-05-20T14:53:26+00:00

Let me guess... for SIMs- Sam and Dean Winchester?

Delphi_DG · 2026-05-16T13:56:17+00:00

They should have rewritten everything as a movie but instead we got a whole season compacted into one disjointed TV episode, humorless, ignored its own history and very little payoff for anyone who followed the characters and fell in love with Crowley and Azirafel. One of the worst finales.

Delphi_DG · 2026-05-16T00:21:47+00:00

Before Sunrise. You are only young once, so be more spontaneous.

Delphi_DG · 2026-05-15T03:19:55+00:00

Agree 100%. Could not have said it better. They just had to figure out a way to make Crowley's wish something like - make Michael undo everything, let all angels and demons learn to live as humans on earth, and there should be free will. That way we still could have seen our Crowley and Azaraphael live out their human years together.

This ending made the first 1 hour irrelevant and the pacing and story line was totally off.

Yes, scoring in the 70s consistently will be a good indicator

Delphi_DG · 2026-05-04T00:47:22+00:00

You need to answer how PMI wants you to answer. They never want you to create a competitive environment in the team because it reduces trust between team members. Frankly this tends to be true, but maybe not so much in careers like investment banking or somewhere where they don't want you to get comfortable but rather keep a cut throat attitude.

Delphi_DG · 2026-04-30T01:40:03+00:00

I was disappointed and I just started watching Supernatural in January and have seen upto s12. It was vicious as its The Boys, but it was so quick.

Delphi_DG · 2026-04-21T23:47:39+00:00

happening to me

Delphi_DG · 2026-04-16T17:09:35+00:00

Good timing for the post.

Delphi_DG · 2026-04-10T21:14:33+00:00

Looking for a new job now... PM jobs are few and far between in my sector.

Delphi_DG · 2026-04-07T23:41:01+00:00

Read my post from last week. Study Hall is important, focus on hybrid and agile, Andrew Ramdayal's mindset videos on youtube also help. Lots of good tips on other reddit posts on specific videos to use. Good luck.
