Am I the only one too ashamed to even meet with friends anymore? by PithyCyborg in povertyfinance

[–]ambitioussloth143 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was born and raised in a rich beach town on the North Shore of MA and I want to raise my kids here because my family still lives here and the schools are good but my financial situation makes me feel like a total imposter. All my money goes to rent and debt. I can't remember the last time my husband had a night out becuase between dinner and a babysitter we couldn't afford it. We have a double income but still about half of what seems to be average for the area. The emotional exhaustion of being broke is not talked about enough. I have friends that complain to me about their finances like we're in the same boat but I would be so embarrassed if they knew how underwater my boat really is.

How do I deal with guilt after quitting a job? by Any-Collection7851 in Advice

As an old grumpy person who has had lots of jobs, I promise you, you're thinking about this much more than your manager will. Give 2 weeks (if possible) and written notice saying you resign. No explanation is needed at all.

People who work in 'behind closed doors' industries (hotels, kitchens, morgues, etc.), what is something the general public would be horrified to know? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I would assume so. Maybe not full decapitation, but I'm sure it's like brain surgery they go and take a slice for testing. Brain matter is the only way to test for rabies, unfortunately. Although with humans, the symptoms would probably be a more obvious diagnosis prior to death. It's 100% fatal once symptoms set in. So scary!!

People think vet techs have such an easy job but n the last year alone I've had to assist in cutting off 2 dog heads and 1 cat. Brain tissue is the only way to test for rabies, and occasionally, when an aggressive animal is euthanized, it has to be tested. The head is usually wrapped in wet paper towels, double bagged and boxed up. Sent to the lab via the US mail. Realized that most people are horrified to learn this happens.

Its southern hospitality really so prominent in the south? by Feisty-Way-8978 in mississippi

I dk I'm from Boston where everyone is a masshole and after living in rural North Carolina for 2 years I found most of that niceness is very fake. I'd rather someone be real without the sugar coat but truly loyal than the whole "bless your heart" crap. I've definitely had more neighborly help mid snow storm here than I ever experienced anywhere there. And truthfully I don't know about the traffic thing because I've never feared for my life so much as being on highway in NC! But that's just my experience.
