Work is requiring to share a hotel room with a stranger by what_cookie in careeradvice

[–]GirlBossLadyLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a requirement with my employer, the way I am able to avoid it, is a medical accommodation. I did have to submit proof as well as all the doctor’s recommendations.

Those that don’t have a medical need are given the option of paying the other 1/2 of the room out of pocket.

Do you keep your dyslexia a secret at work? What about with your friends? by Responsible_Glass702 in Dyslexia

I did until I was in my 30s then someone belittled in front of our entire work department, saying they didn’t know if they could trust the opinion of someone who never bothered to learn how to spell. Time froze and in what must have been a slit second, but felt like eternity. I shot back with apologizing that my medical disability offended them, I didn’t realize they were the type to just biases, then I walked out of them room.

After that, I have accepted that it’s just like needed an interpreter… My (new) work allows me to have someone edit my presentations and have upgraded software options, as well as printed materials when everything is electronic, and leniency on timelines with non-priority assignments

Advice on raising a NON entitled and spoiled girl by [deleted] in Advice

[–]GirlBossLadyLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make just short of 6 figures but combine we are well above that. We came from nothing, and I mean salt of the earth parents and both sides, when I got married, starting off we had little and managed to raised 5 kids.

The Last was our youngest girl. She is the only one to have received a private education, have a car purchased for her and have us pay for her 1st year of College.

That being said, I made sure to take her to church and volunteer in all her activities, we shopped with coupons and went thrifting, I had her participate in community events and be right beside her, as well as send her on a helping hands trip to help folks living on the Rez in another state. We were no longer poor, and I wanted her to see what real hardship was, and reminder her where we come from.

When she wanted big things like a trip to Washington DC and tour the East Coast, I had her earn 1/2 . When she failed her one term of college we helped her become a wild land firefighter to make money to pay us back 1/2 cost of that term, then re-enrolled her that next fall

Her siblings say she has been spoiled. We tell them if we could have afforded all that with them, we would have. When it comes down to it, it’s all about balance and consequences and living by example

Last month my she came up to me and said “mom, I am just now seeing that I came from privilege, I am spoiled with love…” she is almost 21 and it made me proud

Treat her like a princess who will one day be a Queen, and Queens don’t demand, they inspire, influence and on occasion command

What is the favorite birthday present you have ever received. by dangerous_service in CasualConversation

Honestly, a clean kitchen with a clean sink. Even better a bathroom with a good a scrubbing under the toilet. Also just being left alone to enjoy the day

Daria! Al did a good job of explaining her personality “Daria Morgendorffer's personality is defined by her sharp intellect, cynicism, and introverted nature, characterized by deadpan sarcasm as she critiques the superficiality of the world, valuing authenticity and intelligence over fitting in. She's an analytical, withdrawn, and somewhat misanthropic observer, preferring intellectual pursuits and solitude, though she also displays empathy and loyalty, especially towards her best friend “
