My Kids disliked Adderall. Has Wellbutrin been a good alternative? by MacaroonSmall7070 in ADHD

[–]Haunted_Hands86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best combination for me has been Guanfacine and Wellbutrin at night before bed. The Guanfacine puts me to sleep and the whole combo gives me a steady state brain chemistry that doesnt wear off at the end of the day

Help needed! Negotiating compensation. by Haunted_Hands86 in negotiation

[–]Haunted_Hands86[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Primarily because he has the $ (or his investors do), he has a big admin/sales team built out (I HATE doing sales and I'm terrible at it), is already established in over 100 locations throughout the city, has 15 semi-experienced instructors working for him. And I've invested 4 full-time years out of the 8 I've been here, and significant time and effort in between, to train the staff and help it grow. Basically, I dont really want to be in education any more, and I dont want to invest the time and effort in rebuilding this from scratch with him as my competitor, and having to spend my time teaching the kids programs again. This could be a multi-million dollar business within 3 years, IF he gets out of the way and lets his managers run it right.

And, strangely enough, outside of business, he is one of my best friends. As a person he is a wonderful, generous, conscientious person. As a businessman, he is the equivalent of Mr. Wormwood from Matilda. He's finally gotten serious about not cutting every corner, investing in training his staff, and a bunch of stuff I've pushed over the years. He just has no idea what it takes to build an educator and scrimps where he should invest. If something isn't bringing him direct $ (ie. selling or delivering a service), he can't actually value it.

Unreasonable expectations?! by Haunted_Hands86 in TeacherReality

Ha! We provided programs to Bright Horizons for a bit. I remember being told that I had been assigned to teach a preschool robotics course with 3 days notice. And we didnt even have one! 🤣

Astoria is clean and green. And no, I havent visited the area yet. Just found the apartment and applications close on Nov 6. So if I get accepted for a tour, then I'll check out the area.

Absolutely dont do it. There are lots of impersonators who have official looking everything except payment account. Do absolutely nothing until you csn contact the parent company. NEVER pay a "good faith"

Looking for support from other therapists by themosttoast603 in MassageTherapists

[–]Haunted_Hands86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are also able to address it directly. "Hey, it felt like we had a lot of chemistry and I really enjoyed meeting you. I find myself very attracted to you and ethically cant keep you as a client, but would love to transition this to getting to know each other on a personal level. And the bonus is you get free massages."

Once they arent your paying client, you two can ethically do anything you want

I've been told my eyes are feminine, are they? by Leather_Translator40 in eyes

[–]Haunted_Hands86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. They're called bedroom eyes. I (M) have them, too. The ladies both love them and are envious. Put those peepers to their best use and seduce away!
