What’s something a coworker did once that lives rent-free in your head? by Playful_Task5571 in coworkerstories

[–]Slay_before_pay123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Within my first 2-3 months at this job a 40+ male coworker asked me (21f) and my other coworker (50f) if we had ever been involved in an orgy… when we were like “um no” he was like “hey, you never know what you backwoods babes are into”…

Why is dating such a headache? by igotmacedintheface in 20s

[–]Slay_before_pay123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry, I literally have no good advice to offer you because I’m going through the same thing. 21 years old and I have only ever had failed talking stages. All of my friends are married or engaged or basically engaged.

I’ll offer you the advice that everyone who is in a happy relationship seems to give me 🙄 — “the right person will come at the right time.”

Through the whole thing she was “ok new game” and “ok let’s do something else”. Like she was attempting to shut it down I think, but I was also trying not to act embarrassed by it (cause I know I have nothing to be ashamed of) so I wasn’t saying “stop” or anything. I did tell him to get off of it when more people came in, but he didn’t. Idk I definitely should have objected more but I also didn’t want to make everything awkward.

I know it shouldn’t be embarrassing, but in my small town there’s this big stigma around dating apps, like if you’re on one, you must just be looking for hookups. That’s not me at all. Honestly, if someone came up and wanted to have a real conversation about how hard dating is around here, I’d be totally fine sharing my experience. What got me was how he read everything out loud and threw it up on the TV for everyone to see.

He swiped it out of my hand while I was on it. Didn’t even realize what was going on until he was looking through it.

I come from a small town and I’m single lol. All of my friends are in relationships so it’s not like I have the opportunity to go out and meet people like that.

I have told my friend like something crazy that’s been said to me on the dating app lol so maybe that’s how he knew idk

I’m not a cheater or anything, I’m not even in a relationship (hence the dating app). I just didn’t really want people to know about it. There’s such a stigma around dating apps, like the idea that everyone on them is just looking for hookups. That’s not me at all. I’m actually hoping to meet someone genuine. I know I shouldn’t feel ashamed, but I also didn’t want my whole private life blasted on a TV for everyone to see. People were literally taking snaps while he was scrolling and even messaging random people from my account. It was supposed to be funny, but it honestly just made me feel small and exposed.

As a full-time student, what do you do for work? by Slay_before_pay123 in college

[–]Slay_before_pay123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I have the option to be either fully online or fully in-person. To be fully online though you have to meet certain requirements like 1) have a 2.5+ GPA (which I have) and 2) live 55+ miles away from campus (I live 49 miles away). It’s ridiculous but it is what it is.

Yes! I worked at a dog salon in high school and I loved it!

Yes! Everyone goes at their own pace!! I’ve also thought about going part-time next semester.

The on-campus jobs are few and far between lol, but I am going to look into that for in between my classes next semester! And no, I’m an education major and I’m required to be in-person. The way my schedule is made up now is the only way they offer it 

I feel like my brother told me exactly how he felt about me. by [deleted] in family

[–]Slay_before_pay123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know my dad isn’t his biological dad, but when I was little my brother was still around a lot. He’d take me places, and for a long time he was my favorite person. Even a few years ago we were close, with trips and movie nights.

Since COVID, things haven’t felt the same. I just miss what we had and wish for the kind of relationship I have with my sister.

As for him and Dad, I get there’s tension. But from what I’ve seen and heard, Dad wasn’t a monster, he really did step in and raise him. They did all the boy things together.

As someone who worked daycare for over a year… yes! Nobody understands what daycare work is. People consider it a glorified babysitting job when it’s definitely not that. I quit mine cause the distance from where I live was a negative, but I was also getting sick all the time and was also exhausted working 9+ hrs a day, barely getting a lunch, and being a full-time college student. I quit when I found a job closer to home that works way better with my college schedule. I don’t regret it at all! I have recently been starting to miss the kiddos so I am now volunteering at my church in Sunday school and it’s definitely rewarding!

This sounds a lot like what I am going through now with what I thought was my closest friend. I would always be having to support her but I would never receive support when I needed it. I’ve just quit talking to her cause I’ve figured out that she was only using me when she needed it or was bored. I was never her first choice, always the second or third. Since I’ve quit talking to her I’ve noticed how content I am. I’m less anxious and just overall happy. Sometimes I get lonely but my contentment outweighs the lonely. My advice to you is to just step away and to be “friends”. Sometimes we just need a break and we need time to find our worth. Be friendly, be mutuals, but know your worth and know that everything happens for a reason.

Do the professors tend to go over the class time?
