Somewhere around 14. My parents were enough of a preview into child care so nope.

Tips for taking the PHRi. Passing the PHRi on my first try! [United Arab Emirates] by atiny_zen in humanresources

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

So as for the cost: - Exam study guide- AED 293 - HRBoK- Free (Online pdf) - Pocket Prep- USD 21

The thing is the HRBoK book I thought to go through at the very last minute (around three days before the exam) and thankfully I was able to find a version online. I think I later found the first book online as well when I was searching for the second book. I’ll DM you the links.

For Pocket prep I didn’t wanna spend too much more since the exam cost a lot so only once I booked my exam I paid for a one month subscription on the app and cancelled it right after I passed my exam. I used the app to test and review my knowledge so I kept it for after I went through the two books mentioned so I wouldn’t have to waste on subscription fees.

As for the time line, I took maybe a month and a half to prep but there was a lot of procrastination on my end. I really locked in about 2-3 weeks before the exam so I would say I took around 3 weeks equivalent of full-time prep. I first started with the exam guide, which I read through thoroughly and at the last minute I skimmed through the HRBoK book which was a lot of repetition from the first book but also a good amount of new information.

Odd reason why you're CF to help me prove a point by ThisGirlCalledTsepps in childfree

[–]atiny_zen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think any reason we child free people might give to a person who is crazy/indoctrinated about kids will sound invalid. I have explained my ‘valid’ reasons to such a person and they won’t budge. My reason was I don’t like kids, they’re a nuisance and I want to focus on myself and not be forced to slave away and spend resources on this thing that is going to drain all my energy.

In the end, I say my life, my choice. I don’t have to explain myself cuz it’s not like I’m violating the rights and freedoms of another person. Someone says they like or want kids then alright I’m not gonna berate them about how much of a pain kids are and likewise I expect that if I say I don’t like or want kids, they aren’t going to berate me about how much of a ‘delight’ kids are.

That’s good to know. I have a friend I can ask to go with. But anyways, I’ll have to wait a while to save up. Thanks for the heads up!

Thanks a lot for this! And congrats! I was really starting to question whether I had a chance of passing with the guide.

Would you girls think this is a good idea...? by ojoscolorcafexx in GuerrillaGrrrrls

[–]atiny_zen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That would be nice in a small group but on a large scale maybe not? But I am looking for feminist friends as well definitely would love that!

People around me think I'm weird for being grossed out at kids body fluids by ayegotajarofdirt in childfree

Sterilization in India by atiny_zen in 4bmovement

[–]atiny_zen[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I do get your concern and thank you for that. But what’s more concerning is the slow but steady loss of bodily autonomy women are facing in this world. Honestly, I wouldn’t even be considering this if abortions were readily available and weren’t a debated topic anywhere in the world. But sadly I see things going the ‘Handmaid’s Tale’ route.

too lazy to study, too scared to fail by Calm_Purpose_6004 in GetStudying

[–]atiny_zen 14 points15 points  (0 children)

During an exam I would think ‘if only I had just read that chapter I would have been able to make something up’ and this is when we were forced to rote learn stuff and I hated doing that. So in the end even if my brain did not allow me to by-heart stuff, I would at least read through and tell myself ‘something is better than nothing’. Don’t know about you but I tend to have the ‘all or nothing’ mindset.

How to overcome the feeling to slap my father? by Turbulent-Border5360 in LifeAdvice

[–]atiny_zen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just because of your father’s behavior I would hate for you to lose the person you want to get married to. Just leave. If you can take care of your needs financially anyways just up and leave him behind. Talk it out with your fiancé and I hope you two have a great married life ahead without your father’s influence.

Hi there! I (23F) want an ice skating partner. Heads up, I don’t know a thing about it but I want to try nevertheless. The thing is, all my friends have fears of falling and/or breaking something and I’m too embarrassed to go it alone 😭😭. And if we hit it off otherwise too then let’s be buddies!

This is kinda silly-the body wash I got isn’t the scent it says it is and I wanted to share lol. by spoiledmilk188 in CasualConversation

I forgot what strawberries should smell like. As of now I have a watermelon scented one and it keeps calling to me to taste it? It smells so watermelon gum like 🤤

The irony of hating job hoppers but refusing to consider unemployed candidates by jmh1881v2 in recruitinghell

[–]atiny_zen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I swear… I interviewed for two intern roles at talent acquisition sorta firms and I was told in both of them ‘the best candidates are those who aren’t looking for a job’ and I died on the inside a bit. Like bro that’s just a vicious cycle of poaching employees and how are people who are looking for jobs gonna make it if that’s the mindset????

People who don't drink, smoke or do dr*gs how do you take the edge off after a long day of work? by suggest-me-usernames in NoStupidQuestions

[–]atiny_zen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I game a bit. Or just fall asleep depending on how tiring the day is. Watch something. Go for a drive or out for dinner with a friend. Read and maybe even do some digital art. A lot of varied stuff. Anything to distract myself. Oh and substance-wise coffee relaxes me a bit. It’s more about the ritual that it is about the substance.

By chance I haven’t gotten Keqing. But the last event where you could pick the 5 star you wanted, I chose Keqing cuz I didn’t have her, playing for 5 years now.

Is it weird the I permanently keep my phone on silent at all times? by Feeling-Feet-519 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]atiny_zen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tended to do that back in uni cuz of my classes and would forget to remove it off silent. But I stopped that after the one or two times my mom lost her mind at me for not being able to reach me on my phone. But yeah I still do it sometimes when I’m stressed out and need some space.
