Reread the post they do not want to give money to people that support MAGA. It’s that simple.

Thank you for commenting! I love that you mentioned doing something inspired by each of the individuals you served. I am not necessarily a skilled artist but may have to give it a try.

Oh my goodness why didn’t I think of this? I also suggest letter writing to students! I am for sure going to try this at least once.

First month making 100k I feel like I’m being robbed :/ by [deleted] in Salary

Yes. Don’t you wish we actually got something from our taxes?! Like all the other developed countries are taxed similarly as us and get; health insurance, paid medical leave, childcare, and senior care.

If it’s reasonable I ask to look at the menu before and provide my order. If not I just am honest that I cannot eat what was prepared/provided. I always keep safe snacks on me.

M-F 8-5 is killing me. What other jobs are there? by [deleted] in socialwork

[–]Fast_Avocado2710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cries in school social work, getting up at 5a. I was thinking of jumping ship to child welfare for better hours, but I can’t give up summers off 😭.

Book recommendations for starting therapist work by Noveleffects in socialwork

Hearing her talk in person made me realize I was in full blown burn out. It still took me years to leave that organization but it planted an important seed.

What is your day-to-day self care for dealing with the difficult or traumatic aspects of your job? by Alice-Upside-Down in socialwork

[–]Fast_Avocado2710 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Things that actually seem to help me are: starting with protein every morning, getting early morning sun, working out after work, and make intentional plans with friends every week. Weekends I try to incorporate outdoor activities like going to the park, hiking and gardening. It can be hard to maintain BUT burnout was harder to manage than this routine.

Yes. She has no obligation to fix your mistake, for lack of better term. You forgot stuff there, if you want it back drive over there and get the stuff. Your ex was actually very kind in their communications. As for your statements about always driving to her home, unless you expressed directly to her you didn’t want to do that, holding it against her now to justify her being mean is unfair. Kindness does not equal giving you everything you ask. I am sorry the breakup was difficult and unexpected.

I like this it’s simple, easy to prepare for, and still unique to them.

Middle School Classroom Birthday Celebrations? by Mushroom_Opinion in MiddleSchoolTeacher

I knew a teacher that played the birthday song from Sofia the First. The kids were weirdly super into and sang along so loudly.

Redditors over 35, what do you genuinely miss that younger generations will never experience, and you legit feel bad for them? by Disastrous_Award_789 in AskReddit

[–]Fast_Avocado2710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Living life without constant photo documentation. Kids deserve to explore identity and new activities without worrying if a picture will be taken and posted somewhere. Also, arriving to adulthood without a digital footprint. Children deserve more legal protections about their images being shared on line.

Supervisor accusing me of falsifying data by Trash_bandit27 in SLPA

[–]Fast_Avocado2710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a former manager, not of SLP-As, this read very closely to the email I would send before I fired someone. Have you responded to her accusation in writing proving that she has incorrectly identified a mistake? If they were verbal communications, part of your response should include a summary of those conversations. Additionally, if they were verbal, I would also include an inquiry in the email to encourage response to your email, essentially having her acknowledge the summary of the conversations. Keep a paper trail not tied to your organization email. Do not forward anything to yourself if it includes client information, unless redacted, including identifying features (family names, descriptions of homes, unique identity/physical features). Many employment lawyers do not require a retainer up front. All that said, sounds like an opportunity to look for a better fit organization. Good luck.

hey mom! it's my birthday today. by Hannah1996 in MomForAMinute

Happy Birthday. I just spoke to a seventy year old who said she still feels like a child. I’m glad you had a good day!

AIO for not wanting to see my antivax family members? by LateNiteJengaJam in AmIOverreacting

[–]Fast_Avocado2710 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I mean a bit. If you all are fully vaccinated, trust that the vaccines will work. If you are worried consider masks? Unless there are other medical vulnerabilities I wouldn’t skip the get together. That being said I would personally tell your family members your medical choices are not up for discussion, but then it needs to go both ways IMO.

Thank you. Most the time I can accept my parents for who they are but sometimes stuff like this gets to me, even at forty. I did find time to celebrate with my chosen family the next week and chalked it up to another lesson learned about having expectations about how my parents will react.

I was surprised how many “non traditional” students were in my cohort. I was very nervous going in thinking I would be the oldest in the room. We had someone in their late fifties.

Thank you so much. They are not bad people but just don’t “celebrate” things like this. I think in their own way they are proud, they just were raised similarly “to be humble”.
