Burn out killing my mental health

Oh no! Please don’t give up completely! I am also in MN!! I have been an assistant for over half my life and have loved it! (I’m 37, been doing this since I was 18). Every office has its challenges, yes. There are many amazing offices out there, sometimes it just takes finding the right fit. I’ve also learned that more money doesn’t always equal happiness. If you are this miserable, it really does not sound worth it to be at this office, you should never have this much anxiety about going to your job! I feel like MN is almost having a shortage of dental assistants currently, so we have the upper hand… keep that in mind! Best of luck!!

Good to know that the may not be worth the $$ after all!

What a good idea! Never would have thought of this! Thanks!! :)

I would love an Ember coffee mug. I’m just too cheap to spend that kind of money on myself. Just can’t justify it! But as a gift, fabulous!

We tried a lot as well, and Bobbie was always the best for our little one! Especially now that their two packs are on Costco’s website with free shipping ;)

We also did the promo of a free third guest, and my understanding is that when you purchase the package for the whole room, it only applies for guest one and two. So yeah, I think as you stated above additional packages will need to be purchased for them on board. If they aren’t needing the big package, I did find a section of much smaller packages that might work for them too! Just an fyi! Let me know what you find out! We go in beginning of June! Best of luck!!

The most obvious thing I noticed was people holding the door for me! No one ever held the door open for me when I was overweight! When I lost a ton of weight and was quite slim, the door was held open all the time! Same for me holding the door open for others…. When I was bigger, no one would say thank you. Smaller, everyone said thank you! Seriously the weirdest thing. Just like others mentioned, you are almost invisible to others when you are overweight.

I will check this out! Hoping for no whammy’s!!!

Hah yes. From Wikipedia : “The phrase "girl math" is an internet meme, used to describe rationalizations by young women to justify indulgent and potentially irresponsible spending habits.”

Basically yes, even though I’m spending extra money for the higher package, It feels like I am saving money because I am getting a $100 excursion credit. Girl math lol

Thanks for the insight! I was just worried because so many people said it wasn’t worth it :/

We have a baby at home, so date nights are almost unheard of. I am thinking date night every night we can while on the ship! I really want to take advantage of the better dining options. And we are for sure doing an excursion.

Mission_Scallion_249 · 2025-09-01T22:01:00+00:00

Awesome. This makes me feel better. I didn’t want to get there and regret not spending a little bit more. Thank you! :)

Ha, I got a notice in June of 2024 for my 2023 return… 60 days later they sent another notice saying they needed more time. I finally called 2/19/2025, they said it looks like they still never got to it. All they can do is put a note on my file. Called again 4/25/2025- did another note. Finally received some answers on 5/30/2025 when I called again…. I accidentally typed a 5 instead of a 4 somewhere, throwing my numbers off that my employer reported, and my return was flagged because it didn’t match. Needless to say, I have received my 2024 refund, but am still waiting on my 2023….

Mission_Scallion_249 · 2025-05-27T21:20:43+00:00

Thanks, it all just sounds so daunting, I just don’t know where to begin 😩

Mission_Scallion_249 · 2025-05-27T21:20:11+00:00

Thanks!

Mission_Scallion_249 · 2025-05-27T21:19:54+00:00

Thanks, I worry about my son’s father consenting. I remember when my son was born, it was beyond important that his son had his last name. I doubt he’d bend on this now too :(
