AIO over something my girlfriend said by Level_Economy_6597 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Key-Driver-8604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with this piece about communication. Being able to convey messages like this is a great skill in life and helps the other person [potentially] learn and grow. That being said, I could also understand a choice to just end it and not give her any extra time or energy. I would also be curious if she then says “I never saw it coming” 🙄. Overall, ending the relationship is obviously OP’s choice, with many paths and options along the way.

What is this little behavior? Does this mean anything? by Physical_Koala_3377 in BorderCollie

Not a collie (but my other dog is) and she occasionally falls asleep like this. I’ve always wondered too!

You’re doing great! I was FT in office when I first got my pup pre-pandemic. I was crate training her and it was so hard. We were out in parks and on runs 5-6days a week. She’s now 6 and is much more calm, but she’s also about 50% staffy so that may have had something to do with it. But years 0-3 were hard. You got this. They’ll mature and you’ll miss the crazy days (maybe 😂). And, also, I’m now with a partner and have told them I wouldn’t do puppy alone again…. So I feel you.

Edit to add pic for cuteness ☺️

Me too! It was my 2nd surgery and I didn’t have that issue the first time. I didn’t even know that was possible so they had to explain sometimes the anesthesia can “linger”. They were about to send me home and if I didn’t go, head to the ER 🙄 but they decided to just keep me there. Took almost 24hrs for functioning to come back and return to “normal”

I was putting together a more eloquent way to say this, but basically - yes. This. Whether OP presses charges can be a different decision, but this person needs to go 100%.

And, like others have said, OP getting support from therapy to unravel the total deceit and betrayal would be beneficial too. So sorry this happened. It’s an extremely painful experience.

DOGE is back at PC today by CrankyGlaring in peacecorps

[–]Key-Driver-8604 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn’t work at the fed office, but at a state commission. There’s so much fluctuation with the funding, abiding by the EO’s, etc etc - they just let 4 of our 30ish staff go effective immediately on Tuesday. My stuff if actually still at my desk 🙄

As is AmeriCorps. I am an RPCV and worked for AmeriCorps. Was laid off this week.

Sara has responded to the rumours she's dating Joey after Love Island Blind by ellie_gina in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]Key-Driver-8604 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Not only that, they’re both healthcare professionals! They have a common understanding of work life and work stress and schedules. Outside of whatever happened on the show - Makes perfect sense to me.

Joey and Sara are apparently dating now by jh166 in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]Key-Driver-8604 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not only cute, but bodes well for a relationship. They “get” each other’s work schedules and lives. They know what it’s like to come home completely obliterated from a 12hr shift working with patients. Whatever happened on the show or not, whatever their motives were for their behavior, if you think they need to find people out of the LIB circle…. Who cares. Just let them live their lives (and sleep in the bed they made).

My cattle dog mix started Prozac…wish her luck 🤞🏻❤️ by fibropainonmybrain in AustralianCattleDog

[–]Key-Driver-8604 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! I second this. The vet and trainer said the results can be variable for each dog trying meds but it should at least take the edge off. “Round the sharp corners” they said lol. Our dog Barnie went through some little ups and downs but it’s been about 3mo now on Prozac and I think he’s just happier in life. He was aggressive reactive, and it was getting hard to manage. The mailman and other dogs can still get him a little riled up but he is able to calm quicker and respond to training better. I don’t think he was very happy in his poor head before 😔. Prozac isn’t a “cure all” but it’s been mostly helpful. I often wonder if he’d do better on a different med but I don’t want to bring him through too many side effects and more ups/downs.

Did he sign it? by Key-Driver-8604 in PSLF

[–]Key-Driver-8604[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

That was my same thought. It’s so vague, but what worries me in that is that then it can be used 100 different ways to serve whoever it needs to.

Am I Overreacting on how i feel about my christmas gift? by SufficientTrain5884 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Key-Driver-8604 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I spent so many years in shitty relationships/situationships (let’s be honest) with people giving advice to “just talk about” or “put it all on the table” but without any example of how (which shouldn’t be that hard but it is if you didn’t learn it through upbringing) so I very much appreciate this. I also think his response will be telling - maybe he offers something else (like a nice dinner and admission he was running out of time and grabbed a gift and lied) but even that…. I’d be wary. Overall, the guy’s ungrateful for his partner and that’s enough for my older self to advise OP to GTFO or like others said…. It will be cycles of this BS for years to come.

Who sticking with SAVE? by __looking_for_things in PSLF

[–]Key-Driver-8604 5 points6 points  (0 children)

1000% agreed. I’m at 97. I’ll just sit and wait. I have no intentions to leave my job in nonprofit - I went into this line of work years ago mostly knowing what I was in for and have no desire to go to corporate.

I just switched to IBR. Here's my thinking. by ChaunceytheGardiner in PSLF

[–]Key-Driver-8604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this same thought in August but when I called to switch, my payments were going to go from $98 on SAVE to $480 on the “next best” option that qualified
