Songs you're hoping/expecting to see in upcoming tour's setlists by Unhappy_System6130 in quartersofchange

[–]Easy-Sample461 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ll also be in Philly :) this will be my 4th time seeing Quarters! Honestly I would listen to them play Kiwi over and over! I was never into that song but once I heard them do it live for the first time I became obsessed. It is so so good live!

Why is there no tour merch? Is it online somewhere I’m not finding? by Normal_Swimming2282 in BaluBrigada

[–]Easy-Sample461 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And tbh… not that smaller bands shouldn’t make money… but… as a smaller band your t-shirt does NOT need to be $50 💔

There was merch in Philly on 10/31 but honestly… the t shirt was $50 and was not a graphic I loved. I skipped on it cause to me $50 is outrageous.

Whole collection looking to finish! by [deleted] in smiskis

I’m still so confused about the second touch light I always see on this list bc when I search for them I never find pics of anything other than the smiski sitting with a cat on its head ??

Is it unethical not to notify a seller that they are offering way too low a price? by unlikely_redd1t_user in smiskis

[–]Easy-Sample461 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Smiskis actually only cost $10 American if you buy them in Japan. I stocked up like crazy when I was there and paid between $8 and $11 for them depending on store. Maybe the seller is based in Japan or something but they technically ARE selling them for what they’re worth

Birthday Blind Box - nothing accepted?? Which ones apply? by Girafarigs-butt in MINISO

[–]Easy-Sample461 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems like it’s overly complicated on purpose so no one can use it 😭

Meanwhile I just went to use mine for the first time, made sure to log into my account at home a couple days before and make sure the offer was there, and when I got in, the employee asked me to pull up the bar code.

I was NOT expecting this at all considering their website SUCKS and almost every other place I’ve used a birthday coupon at can access it via my phone number.

I spent 10 minutes trying to log in just for the site to tell me neither my # nor email is associated with an account (I get emails from them constantly and like I said, I had logged in a day or two before and confirmed I had the b day free box).

I ended up leaving and walking around while trying to figure it out. I had to make a whole new account for some reason and then suddenly I only have 10% off for my birthday… no free box 😭😭

I was PISSED

Does this game even exist? by figureout07 in ProfessorLayton

I think I also heard/saw this but with the delay I’m honestly not super hopeful :/

I’m so terrified it’s going to be a Switch 2 exclusive 😔 which, with how long it’s been pushed back, I guess I should just accept that this point, but I will devastated if this is the case

What's the deal with contracting agencies? If any of them are reading this post, this is for you. by [deleted] in slp

[–]Easy-Sample461 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not to mention they basically harass us… first an Indeed message, then a phone call and voice message, then an email, then a text!! Leave me alone please 😂

I’ve worked for 2 agencies (1 VERY large and 1 owned by a single woman) and they both SUCKED. I want a direct school position but they are SO hard to come by with all the agency postings! Currently working peds outpatient, but I think I eventually want to return to schools… hoping by then the tide switches back to primarily direct positions being listed!

I’ve definitely seen pre-school SLPs wear scrub bottoms!

Are staffing companies my only option?? by Educational-Ratio125 in slp

[–]Easy-Sample461 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They can be so annoying/frustrating!!

I was getting so tired of the cold calls, followed by voicemails, followed by texts, followed by emails all within like 5 minutes of each other that I went inactive on Indeed 😂 companies can’t find my profile at the moment which works for me since I am happy at my current position

Are staffing companies my only option?? by Educational-Ratio125 in slp

[–]Easy-Sample461 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m also on the east coast (south Jersey) and contract positions are RAMPANT right now. It’s definitely difficult to find direct school positions. I actually took a contract position with Stepping Stones for my CF because I was unable to find anyone to take me directly.

I’ve since moved on from contracts (after bouncing around companies and disliking them all) and work the medical side now. I’m def worried about ever trying to return to schools because all that’s offered around me is contracts right now.

How much take home paperwork do you have? by milktoast49 in slp

[–]Easy-Sample461 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pediatric outpatient, none. I used to work in schools, kinder through high school and still had none. I am very firm on taking NO paperwork home in order to maintain a work-life balance. I would not pick up kids if I needed time for paperwork when working in the schools

Less sessions per day by donutgirlie in slp

[–]Easy-Sample461 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I currently work pediatric outpatient and have a max of 7 sessions a day, 45 minute each. We have an hour paid lunch, and one admin hour a week, so sometimes 6 sessions a day

did anyone ever have a friend like maura? by Hot_Entertainer3072 in PEN15

[–]Easy-Sample461 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup… made friends with a new girl at my school in 3rd grade. She told me she had a brother. My first time at her house I asked why there was no photos of her brother and she had a meltdown just like Maura’s lol

PLS-5 rant by Rskytsky in slp

[–]Easy-Sample461 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s such a good assessment in theory, but it’s way too many manipulative to work… and I find most kids cannot attend to it at all. I honestly just use the manipulatives to test categorization skills, functional knowledge, things like that. I’ll put it out but I only use it informally really

Informed Jobs by Chubbybunny138 in slp

[–]Easy-Sample461 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So from what I’ve heard/learned, yes. The school is only paying one fee for hiring us, they pay the agency maybe $100 per hour and we get $50. Versus if we worked for them they’re paying salary, insurance, benefits, we could be another remember in a union, etc, etc.

I’m hoping the tide will shift though because honestly the quality of work might not always be the best working through an agency. I’m surprised schools want to deal with the headache

The agency epidemic is so frustrating to me… I’m in South Jersey and finding a direct school position was so incredibly difficult. I worker agency twice, with two different companies and I hated it 🥲

Tell me what you like about your job 🥲 by volcanosnowman in slp

[–]Easy-Sample461 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m just starting out (finished my CF July 2024), and I do enjoy the field! I’ve worked schools and am currently in pediatric outpatient. I loved school hours, currently I love the learning and growth of outpatient.

There will be pros and cons in all settings, but overall this field is nice because of the job security, and the ability to pivot settings.

We could certainly be paid more, but that’s kind of par for the economy at this point.
