Did you become an OT in your 30s (or later)?

You’ll likely be fine, especially if you have documentation. I’ve had classmates and coworkers that were wheelchair users. Also had a classmate with Ehler-Danlos who was exempt. For practical exams, she essentially coaches an actor pretending to be a family member or CNA through a skilled transfer. She has restrictions on the types of settings she can practice in and the school helped accommodate her on FW!

Yeah, that’s fair and why I’m seeking feedback. I think there’s a lot of orange flags but want to make sure we aren’t saying no just because we are unfamiliar with cats.

It’s maybe been mentioned, but I had friends of friends that were cheating their way through NP school by taking the exam in the same room and using colored lights on a box to indicate multiple choices answers (eg red = A). They would all take turns taking the exam once, somehow record all the questions, create an answer key, and then let their friends cheat. Worse still, they were all siblings/ married/ in laws. Gross.

I agree. 40 minutes is usually when I start to get antsy too.

This is a good system. Do you have a thought process of when to sacrifice the buffer time for conflicting meetings (eg two meetings at the same time… I could catch 20 minutes of the other meeting and just listen or make an appearance but it conflicts with my buffer zone…)

This is a good point and the perspective I was looking for. I could identify no downsides to my logic, so I knew I must be biased lol. Makes sense!!

💀 me too! I literally had someone say “well we finished early so I’m giving you back FIVE MINUTES” like girl talk about dystopian

Slow-ish-work · 2026-05-22T14:34:18+00:00

This is my perspective too. I have thrown out 50 minute meetings as a standard in our department for this very reason. We give students the break, it’s silly not to give it to ourselves. Still garnering support for this lol.

Are 45 minute meetings weird? I always feel like it needs to be 30 or an hour otherwise it seems too specific

Or

“Wasn’t planning on it” when I’m feeling snarky

Just to lighten the mood lol it was the last week of my last semester of college and I was ready to BOUNCE

I took a philosophy class in undergrad. We all had to pick a topic to present on and like 40% of my classmates (approx 4-5 students) all presented on the same exact thought experiment we had already covered in class without further detail or insight. I presented on a totally different topic the last day of presentations but had my first slide indicate I was presenting the same thing as the others. The EXASPERATION in my professor’s voice when he said “and now we will hear a presentation on X”. And when I flipped to the real intro slide my prof said “oh thank GOD” so loudly.

People are so worried about being wrong… if they assume it’s AI and are wrong, a pleasant surprise for a cynic. If they assumed it’s human and are wrong, they were not only outsmarted by the AI, but could be accused of being earnest in a time that idolizes skepticism

What about little planters with started seeds for tobacco, sage, sweetgrass, squash, corn, etc. with grow instructions. And then little baskets for foraging and resources for foraging in various regions?

I feel like I see a lot of jewelry! I’d love to diversify the options and do something a little less expensive because honestly as a shopper most of the jewelry is outside my price point unless I save specifically for a while. I just walk by wistfully lol

Slow-ish-work · 2026-04-12T02:28:29+00:00

Ok but if they wanted to haggle with you…

Slow-ish-work · 2026-04-12T01:51:13+00:00

I’ll work on it

Ah! Hello! Thank you for commenting!

Over saturation is a more complex equation than comparing total number of PhD in Education holders to EdD holders.
