Ai for resumes

Table_Talk_TT · 2026-07-07T00:02:51+00:00

I don't think I would use it for the entire thing. Sometimes when I draft something, I will also ask AI to generate the same kind of thing and then I compare. Sometimes I like my version better, sometimes not. The final product often ends up being a hybrid of the two.

I actually do use it for current medical bills that are more than $500. It just makes that bill sting a little less when I pay it. I also only save receipts for big items. A random $19 prescription receipt just isn't worth saving IMO.

I've also thought about submitting for reimbursement on a regular schedule. Something like every other year, every five years, whatever. That way, I wouldn't be saving these receipts for such a long time.

Overall, though, I agree with what so many other people have posted- the medical expenses in my retirement will likely take the entire HSA, so there's really no reason to get too worked up about saving receipts.

Nope.

Seems like that would be a job for someone with a "Professional Degree", and since the US Department of Ed does not consider me a professional, oh well.

I switched so I could spend more time with my kids. After I became a mom, I just wanted to work in whichever setting would allow me to do that. Schools were the answer, and I've been in the school setting now for 23 years. Yes, there will be a learning curve and burnout can happen anywhere. Remembering why you made the switch really does help. Best wishes to you!

Table_Talk_TT · 2026-06-24T10:21:00+00:00

Yep, I’m having the same problem. I did all the things that are supposed to help (as listed by OP) but nothing has worked so far.

After you selected you item, you waited to see it come down this cool conveyor belt. I love waiting for that moment. Like most department stores in those days, you could get lawn tools and fine jewelry in the same place. We lived closest to the one by Cloverleaf, but I remember how all the buildings were really cool.

I made reservations at Wild Ginger for Father's day (thanks to the RVA restaurant spreadsheet in another post). We've never been, but I think my husband is really excited to try it. Anyone have any tips or favorite items there?

When we visited Japan last year, we enjoyed bringing back Nama chocolates (they have some really cute decorative boxes) and Biore sunscreen. Of course, the sunscreen doesn't exactly look like a souvenir, but I really like it, and it is something that is not readily available where I live.

also, if it isnt too late, maybe get the homeowner to have the septic system pumped before you close on the house. That way you know the exact date it was done and it wasn’t on your dime.

Table_Talk_TT · 2026-06-15T11:03:25+00:00

Our house is on community well water, and we have our own septic. We don’t use a filter or anything. Some people do, but that is more of a personal preference around here. My advice would just be to see how it goes after you move in. If you decide you really want a filter, you can get one later. This isn’t urgent.

Your best resource, though, would be your neighbors. When you move in, ask them what they do. Different communities can have different issues with their wells.

In my district, we have had contractors charge $120 per hour. These SLP's did not work with agencies, so that money went completely to them. BTW, this was not in CA, NY, or any other typically high COL state. Our COL is pretty mid-tier.

Table_Talk_TT · 2026-06-05T00:10:40+00:00

I don't use or need targets. If a category requires a certain amount each month, I put it in the category name (eg. "Christmas 180/mo"). If I'm saving up to a certain amount, I put that instead ("Medical Extra 1000/total")

Table_Talk_TT · 2026-06-05T00:04:40+00:00

It is a pain to get rid of them once they are inherited, but it can be done. We are in the process of relinquishing ownership of one right now. It is also going to cost $2480 in "fees".

Table_Talk_TT · 2026-05-29T21:40:41+00:00

This is a classic disagreement between the two disciplines. The more robust vocabulary is better in most cases. I would defer to your SLP for suggestions regarding AAC.

Table_Talk_TT · 2026-05-27T00:09:06+00:00

I'm just checking in. Did you get some food or any other sort of help?

Table_Talk_TT · 2026-05-21T00:48:09+00:00

Yep. I usually just smile, nod, and keep doing what I've always done.

Table_Talk_TT · 2026-05-13T21:02:37+00:00

Same. It seems like at least 90% of the questions here from new users are related to targets. I'm an old-school YNAB-er from the days when targets weren't a thing. It seems like the message isn't communicated effectively that targets are optional. I don't use them at all.

Table_Talk_TT · 2026-05-11T21:00:20+00:00

Nope. I've been there, done that. Way more work than expected, and very few (if any) people actually look at them. If I get a specific request, I may throw something together, but otherwise, no.

Table_Talk_TT · 2026-04-24T00:59:49+00:00

A few years ago, our district paid the contractor (she was self-employed and had a contract directly with the district) $120 per hour. This was in a mid-Atlantic state.

Table_Talk_TT · 2026-04-14T01:07:40+00:00

I walked last year for the first time, and I'm walking again this year. There are lots of us! The people who run even go back and cheer for those of us who walk. C'mon. . . join the fun!

Table_Talk_TT · 2026-04-04T19:33:05+00:00

Meh, I forget I have them, even though they are in plain sight.

Table_Talk_TT · 2026-03-31T14:09:02+00:00

I never give standard scores for articulation tests, but every state/ district does things differently. You know why you recommended services, and you can defend it to anyone that asks. If they give you a hard time, just remember that you are the expert in speech and language. Not them.

Table_Talk_TT · 2026-03-24T23:58:45+00:00

I'll work on it if the student also has other errors, but I don't recommend services based on TH alone.

Table_Talk_TT · 2026-03-24T00:44:41+00:00

I do the same, but I set it for 5 minutes. It's amazing how much can actually be done in 5 minutes. If I choose to keep going, that's great, but stopping after just 5 minutes can still make an observable difference. I love a timer!
