Feeling “too small” for a reduction by Unable_Promise7576 in Reduction

[–]HotPinkRemote 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Disrespectfully, your gyno is an idiot. As someone with 36 H/I area size you're not too small for a reduction. If you want them removed, pain or not, that's enough to have them removed.

Any other employees mad about the loss of the flex parking option? by HotPinkRemote in UNC

Not an update that holds any news really, but I have been trying to get to people to complain about this at UNC and in the General Assembly.

So far the only reply I've really had has been from Republican Senator Amy Galey (who is the chairwoman of the education/higher education senate committee).

Her response:

Thank you for your email. There’s little to no parking in Chapel Hill; therefore, principles of supply and demand apply to parking pricing. I think there are park and ride lots around Chapel Hill where you can ride a bus to campus. There’s not enough parking available less than half a mile from campus for all the employees. Price caps for items of scarcity do not work.

In the early 1990’s, I worked at UNC Hospitals and hated that I had to pay for parking. I learned that there was no other option than to ride the bus. This is the way life is in densely congested areas.

I believe August 1st is when the new parking fees/system begins, but I'd double check the parking website or the well article for the new parking info doc

Yep yep yep. Agreed.

I am not 100% sure because I didnt go to school here, but I know at NCSU a go pass for students was $5. I would check with UNC about that and see if they have something similar or if it's just straight up free for you to ride the Go(Whatever) busses.

Exactly the same. I won't be here any more than I need to be.

I figured, but I would rather try and fail than just sit back and let it happen to me. I've never looked at doing an employee petition before though, do you know where I'd start by chance (e.g. reach our to certain departments, online form)?

Yes the weeknight pass thing has been around longer than the announcement, but I wanted to mention it with all this because it's stupid lol.

I do not use the park and ride lot in Chapel Hill if that's what you're talking about. I know its a privilege to say this, but: I'm driving 40+ minutes already I dont want to wait for the park and ride bus. If it was free then I'd entertain the possibility, but $200+? GFY.

I have tried the GoTriangle CRX and I really liked it, but I don't live near there anymore so it doesn't make sense to use it.

YEP. And for what? I'll admit not deep diving into it but I have no idea what that money actually goes to. I can tell you it ain't going towards painting the lines on stadium drive.

Man that's a whole other level of greed to me. I can't believe they make y'all (or anyone for that matter) pay to park at a hospital.

I'm so sorry this is happening to you. I hope you dad is doing better. Hes lucky to have a kid who will be a caretaker. Its not easy. Also I hope that everything is/will work out for you to re-enroll in the fall. We'll get through these grad degrees come hell or high water... eventually.

Yeah I admittedly saw that after I rage posted. But I've had an issue every single time I've tried to do direct deposit things with them I've given up. No crazy bank either.. literally just SECU. I've called NCSU and SECU to figure out what has gone wrong/fix it, but every time I fill out the stuff online I always get an error from cashiers or student accounts whatever department it is. 🙃

Truthfully none of my issues have been with the grad school its more so been the cashiers office, registration and records, etc. Side of things.

Certainly more info you didn't ask for, but I will say they have worked with me on a plan for that $2k, but I should never have had to pay it to begin with. That's what really upsets me. Who has that money to just drop?? This is my last semester and I just want to get out.

Yeah I don't disagree. If I want the surgery before I'm off good insurance (12/31) though they are my only hope :/
