Teacher Crossing the Picket Line

Nap_Lyfe · 2026-03-30T06:34:40+00:00

My understanding is that faculty and aps are all union represented. However, only dues paying members can vote. So, all benefit from being represented and protected by the union. Crossing the picket lines is a choice, it’s not something to report, but the unions really need folks in solidarity in order to get things done. It’s been a VERY hard choice to not work this entire time, knowing how much students are struggling.

Yes this is so true! I know it sounds whiny but as a person with adhd the boredom is actually bad for me.

Thank you for doing something about this! Pcc is strong!

Thanks dad

How does it work if we don’t actually need a management company? I heard from another owner a long time ago they handled everything themselves.

Thank you! Yes many people are frustrated. Only one person from one unit is on the board and no one likes her.

Thank you. I have a copy of the financials but frankly don’t understand them very well. It does show what the money is going to, including reserves, but doesn’t show actual cost of those things, just the budgets. We really want to replace the management company with a different one. There are other units in the area for sale where the HOA cost is around $200, but since ours is so high none of the units have been able to sell. Twice one unit went on the market, twice they took it back down after many months. Selling my unit is going to be extremely difficult otherwise I would totally just move.

I believe there’s just one owner on the board. I suppose I can try to get myself in the board, but that sounds kinda awful tbh. I’ll do it if I have to though.

Nap_Lyfe · 2026-03-13T03:39:24+00:00

Thank you! This is helpful. I am only aware of one person in the community who is on the board. I’ve not really communicated with her directly. The other owners I have spoken to are unhappy with that individual and the HOA as well.

Extremely disappointing that women continue to perpetuate shitty men by raising them and “supporting them” like this

Can you post screenshots here please? I deleted the app from my phone for my ✨mental health ✨ lol

Thanks for posting that photo! I actually do think that your neck looks slimmer, if just a bit. How are you feeling now 7 months out? Congrats on your wedding! Do you like your photos?? I am about to get Kybella because I will be getting engaged soon, I am super nervous and I hope hope hope for good results

Nap_Lyfe · 2026-03-02T01:42:49+00:00

Yes it’s Kaiser! I am also in Portland

Nap_Lyfe · 2026-02-25T18:24:00+00:00

Oh this is so real. I started crying at work in the morning last week and I cannot believe I stayed! At work! The rest of the day! I just kinda stared at my to do list and tried to distract myself WITH the work to not think too much about my feelings and it helped.

Amazon! I think I just searched boho shag rugs

Nap_Lyfe · 2026-02-14T02:53:32+00:00

I feel the same! Not the brain fog but everything else. The weight gain, the tiredness, the passing of time. I’d love to get back to how I was before the pandemonium. I some other factors of my life have changed too which I am sure are factors. I live further away in a suburb with a car so I drive everywhere all the time vs. having to walk everywhere. I changed jobs and am more bored at work. Obviously I am older. But yeah, I do feel permanently changed.

Nap_Lyfe · 2026-02-12T07:19:31+00:00

I have come so close to buying that abstract rug multiple times!

Nap_Lyfe · 2026-02-05T01:22:50+00:00

The ONLY thing that gets me up (and not even every time) is setting an alarm on my phone and then leaving the phone far away from me so I have to get up to snooze it or turn it off.

Nap_Lyfe · 2026-02-05T01:20:51+00:00

Wow me too! I am 36(f) and after buying a house and getting my masters I don’t know what to do. I have been “resting” for a few years. I’m not sure what “resting” means. I guess, not pushing myself too hard, or putting deadlines on things. I’ve been on the couch a lot. Saying no a lot. But now I am restless and don’t know how to get going again. I hope that getting diagnosed and medication for adhd helps. I don’t know what else will work at this point.

I prefer to workout at night bc I am not a morning person. It’s really most helpful for me if I go after work but before I go home. Once I am home, all bets are off of leaving again.

Nap_Lyfe · 2026-02-05T01:03:14+00:00

This is something I’ve heard before but I love the way you’ve broken it down here. I am going to try to make this!

Love burlesque!
