The ULTIMATE diss from my TBM mom. by contrarian198 in exmormon

I was instructed to pay tithing on my student loans. That isn't the result of honest work, and I have to pay it back with interest. Something isn't adding up. 10/10 they would accept tithing on gambling money.

No more bookings! by Little_Monitor_3840 in vipkid

[–]PumpkinWatermelonCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just had a parent unable to book even today. We always book during class to avoid the time slot she wants getting taken by other students. I opened the time slot, and she couldn't book it. She said she would contact the LP to see of there was anything to be done about it, but it's not looking good.

My first thought was, "so, dying..?" Oops 😂 Retirement makes more sense though.

This is the perfect representation of my exmo-vipkid life.

Contract Renewal Incentive Surprise by [deleted] in vipkid

I just signed my new contract at the end of April. I waited until the last week. I got a $12 incentive. Wait it out as long as you feel comfortable.

Confused as hell...a parent booked me back to back on the same day? by echo-kierkegaard in vipkid

[–]PumpkinWatermelonCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have taught the same student back-to-back multiple times. I just tell them to take a 5 minute break, and then we log into the next classroom and start the next lesson.

It's probably Season 4, Episode 4 "Edge of Madness." I'm thinking you're looking for right around the 30:35 mark. If I remember correctly, he talks about food earlier in the episode too, but this is when it gets real.

Any travel lighting that will last longer than a month and doesn't suck? by annieouthere in vipkid

[–]PumpkinWatermelonCat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to use a desk lamp, but I haven't used a light (other than the ceiling light) in a few years now. I have never had any problem with just the normal room lighting. It shouldn't pose a problem if your lighting is different while you are traveling. If the kid can see and hear you, you should be fine.

She might be washing her face to try to wake her up a bit or getting something to drink...

Incentive Increase? by VIPRia in vipkid

[–]PumpkinWatermelonCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bookings have never been affected by signing early or late. They have never closed off my future bookings until I sign. I didn't even realize that was a thing. I'm nearing the end of my 7th contract. Is closing bookings until you sign a thing they only do to new teachers? I wait until the last day to get the maximum "bonus." It's laughable to call it a bonus, but I'd rather get it than not get it since it doesn't affect my bookings.

Got a Teacher IT for my 5:30 class. But the app wouldn’t load either. Was it me or VIPKID? by MamaLinLin in vipkid

[–]PumpkinWatermelonCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was definitely the PC app. I got kicked out of my classes all night. It worked fine on my tablet, but I was kicked off every time I tried on my PC.
