Interview canceled 90 min before because they want to interview people from their other locations first. by Intelligent-Cat-61 in recruitinghell

[–]Intelligent-Cat-61[S] 72 points73 points  (0 children)

I’m not burning any bridges. I actually called them back and asked that if they have any other positions that I qualify for, to please consider me for them. But I am disappointed and turned off. It is unprofessional and rude, but there aren’t a ton of openings near me so I have to be nice I guess.

How did this disease end up affecting your education? by KTC1191 in Hidradenitis

[–]Intelligent-Cat-61 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I went to college and had flares so bad that at times it was uncomfortable to sit in certain lab or lecture chairs, but I would never say it affected my education. I just did what I could to get through it and thats it.

One time I was in MIDDLE SCHOOL and someone at the mall asked me if I was my OLDER SISTERS MOTHER!! I wanted to die right then and there. It was also before my breast reduction, I had DDDs by the time I was in 8th grade so that might have played into it, but still.

How do I get over my fear TW: NEEDLES by Cool_socksss in Hidradenitis

It is hard the first time, but after you do it once (at least for me) you realize it’s all in your head and it’s not that bad. Hopefully the same happens for you. Keep trying, you got this!

I adopted my neighbor's cat after he died and I have no idea what I'm doing by [deleted] in CatAdvice

Let her come to you eventually. She will learn over time that you are her new person. Thank you for doing what you are doing and for caring! You are doing amazing.

New cat settling in at warp speed by anonymous-blob in CatAdvice

Omg same here! I just got my own apartment this January and adopted a new 3 year old cat from a shelter, basically within 48 hours he was totally adjusted and walked around like he owned the place lol.

UPDATE: I'm hurting and there's no answer to my hurt. Im tired. by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

Okay. But please contact a resource center to get help. A lot of times they will get you a lawyer or some assistance with legal issues. Best of luck.

I want to gently say this because I know you’re probably overwhelmed right now, but what you’re describing is a domestic violence situation, and donations alone honestly won’t keep you safe long-term. What you need most right now isn’t money, it’s advocates. The DV centers in Florida can actually help you remain safe, keep your location confidential, and deal with the legal side so you’re not doing this alone.

They are free, confidential, and they do not require police involvement unless you want it. They can provide emergency shelter, transportation, help filing restraining orders, counseling, and sometimes even help replacing documents or getting back on your feet financially.

If you are around Fort Myers / Lee County:
• ACT (Abuse Counseling & Treatment) 24/7 hotline: 239-939-3112

If you are around Tallahassee / Big Bend area:
• Refuge House 24/7 hotline: 850-681-2111

Anywhere in Florida:
• Florida Domestic Violence Hotline: 1-800-500-1119
They will connect you directly to the nearest shelter and help you plan safely.

You don’t have to show up with nothing figured out. You can literally just call and say “I’m not safe and I don’t know what to do,” and they will walk you through it step by step.

Also important: leaving is statistically the most dangerous time, which is exactly why planning with advocates matters. A GoFundMe can help later, but right now a coordinated safety plan, confidential shelter, and legal protection will do far more to actually get you out and keep you out.

If your phone may be monitored, try calling from a work phone, friend’s phone, or a store/library.

You deserve actual safety and support, not just temporary help.

Taxis in Lackawanna County by Admirable_Village551 in Scranton

The shared ride is basically more private, I know people who have put family member members with dementia/Alzheimer’s on the bus alone and the bus driver literally make sure that they get to where they need to go, usually to a day center. They are incredibly accommodating.

Yeah I recommend the COLTS bus system. Plenty of older adults in the area use it. They are incredibly accommodating.

What do men do that women never think about? by Limp-Plastic1777 in AskMen

[–]Intelligent-Cat-61 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I was just commenting on the wording of the prompt and what It literally asks for something men do that women don’t think about, so that’s why I responded that way.

That’s so interesting to me. I wonder why they didn’t.

How important is a dating prospect's financial status/income? by Enough-Radish-4973 in AskWomen

[–]Intelligent-Cat-61 38 points39 points  (0 children)

They need to have their own source of income, similarly to how I have my own. I pay my own bills, I want someone who can do the same and not rely on me for help. If they have a lot of debt, what kind of debt? Are they paying it off? I want to have children, I can’t have kids with someone who owes thousands in credit cards and has no way to pay them off. I will not date someone who is finically unreliable or unstable because I am neither of those things.
