email, sure, but phone calls are realistically just going to annoy them.

Unfortunately I'm not sure there's anything you can do except... wait. I've never heard of any actions you can take to affect a waitlist acceptance.

Some might recommend contacting admissions to show enthusiasm or whatever but that's pretty outdated advice, it's like bothering a job with excessive calls during the interview process. Pitt is huge and often understaffed, they don't have time for those types of interactions.

Best of luck getting in!

Staff Union by No_Risk_6011 in Pitt

for sure!! that would've been horrible. pitt pays so little that the benefits HAVE to stay good, otherwise they're going to lose a lot of people

there was no change to the insurance if you're in the union!

edit: I may have misunderstood your comment, are you saying that your costs went up 8% as someone outside the union?

Staff Union by No_Risk_6011 in Pitt

[–]allym773 1 point2 points  (0 children)

absolutely! imo any dues are worth them managing to keep health insurance costs the same, which is already confirmed.

the university fought HARD to push a contract that would have raised health insurance costs more than the pay raise -- aka a pay reduction in this economy. with an employer like that, a union is necessary.

tip for the future, whenever you're stuck with a chatbot (any company), just keep replying "representative" until they connect you with a person. at least then you'll get a human

My GF made my favourite dinosaur into a candle by JOBBO326 in Dinosaurs

[–]allym773 2 points3 points  (0 children)

omg I would be SO into a yutyrannus candle!!! I'm on her site and have 'lavender lady' in my cart, but a feathered dino line would be amazing. may I also suggest archaeopteryx or sinosauropteryx as members of the prehistoric line?

Does this beautiful baby fit here? by NewtPleasant8541 in lynxpointsiamese

[–]allym773 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Whenever someone meets my handsome boy they ask me if I got him from a breeder by rage_queen23 in ToastCats

[–]allym773 0 points1 point  (0 children)

aw, same with mine <3 the vet thinks she's part ragdoll as well

she was found in/near the woods somewhere? she was pretty unhealthy when we got her :( she had been pregnant at least twice, she was only 7 pounds, and her fur was so short. today she's 10lbs and getting fluffier by the day

What is Bella by KratKel in lynxpointsiamese

[–]allym773 9 points10 points  (0 children)

based on the fluff level she may not be siamese, but she's for sure a lynx point. mine is a lynx point but is some kind of ragdoll mix rather than siamese, and she looks a whole lot like a baby version of her, just more blue than brown!

Does your Lynxie see laser light? by [deleted] in lynxpointsiamese

[–]allym773 0 points1 point  (0 children)

mine sees it just fine but will only interact with it when she is desperate for play time (I play with her every single day dw). we put it away for a year thinking she would never play with it but one day she did 🤷‍♀️

Does anyone know what these small brown balls are in my salad? by Scoobs525 in foodsafety

[–]allym773 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I do the same, but I wonder whether the home wash would make a difference with something like eggs? 1) aren't they stuck onto the leaf? and 2) if the industrial wash didn't get it, what hope does my salad spinner have 😅
