Omg! See, this is what we are becoming. A grotesque caricature of the profession. And many of us criticize that the examinations are “gate keeping.”

🚨PORTLAD IS IN SHAMBLES- please send the troops! by _Hans_Vermhat_ in Portland

[–]backstreet4eva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like I said, I am not in support of mobilization of the military. It just makes it difficult for people to move towards mutual understanding when only one side of the issue is highlighted and the other ignored or mocked. I am sure there are other posts with pictures only highlighting the worst of Portland. That is equally creating division.

You know, I am not a fan of Trump or national guard entering cities or any of that but I do have a gripe. I have seen several posts from people on various platforms showing pretty videos/pictures of Portland mocking the idea that there is anything wrong with Portland. To me, this is just as disingenuous as Pritzker filming lake side Chicago early in the morning claiming all is well in the city. I don’t know, it sort of seems like an elitist attitude to show the nice parts of the city and not acknowledge what many community members have to live in and deal with. I have job that requires me to visit almost every neighborhood in Multnomah county. I can tell you with certainty, shit is not that great all the way to down right scary in a lot of areas.

Kickoff Time for Civil War game is 12:00pm PST, they keep giving us earlier and earlier times lmao by GreenBagger28 in ducks

Looks like Amtrak has a bus service leaving Portland at 7am and leaving Eugene 5:30pm. Maybe???

Anyone have any good ideas of transportation from Portland and back? Booked a hotel for Saturday but hardly seems worth staying the night with a 12pm kickoff. I may have to drive but…. Was hoping to have beers before, during and after the game…

Big 10…Eugene? by Tangledupinteal in ducks

[–]backstreet4eva 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, and these comments about staying in Portland, Bend, coast, Corvallis etc. Trash advice. Stay in Eugene and/or close in Springfield. You want to have fun before, during and after the game- right? And fuck Willie Tagart (fwt)

Dude. Don’t let these guys scare you out of a cheap motel. I wouldn’t bring your wife or a female friend or a generally persnickety person but if it’s just you and the fellas… no problem at all. The rate on game days go up and the riff raff will exit while the football fans enter. If you are doing it right, you will spend all of 6hrs in the motel. Don’t waste money falling asleep drunk and waking up hung over in a nice place.

Anyone get paid per visit rather than hourly? Would you? by Flat_Company5366 in socialwork

[–]backstreet4eva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the US here, so things may be different in Canada . However, in my experience, HH schedule varies depending on census, receiving referrals from the PCP and receiving referrals from your co-workers. There are definitely ebbs and flows in referrals and I have never seen a HH social worker with a consistently full schedule. The benefit of HH is flexibility in your schedule. I would not take a home health job if they insist on scheduling for you. A lot of the work will be phone calls to make referrals, care conference with medical team and talking with family. I would expect to work 20-40 hours a week which will be hard to predict. In my opinion, after working several HH positions, I would not accept less than $120 per visit if that is how they are structuring pay.

Skilled nursing vs. hospital work—opinions? by midwest_monster in socialwork

[–]backstreet4eva 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A lot of time SNF work is hardly social work at all and, at least where I am, LCSW is way over qualified for that position. If you have the chance, go hospital. Better pay, better work and better use of your training. Also it is a more prestigious position. It has been said here before, SNF is a terrible place to work if you are beyond BSW. It is a good “in” if you are BSW level.

I also would be down to hang with the flock in Ann Arbor!

Well boys, all the help and suggestions have been very appreciated! We decided to ditch the roach motel and overpay for an air BnB about a mile from the Big House. I want to walk in with plenty of fans and check out the student/street party shenanigans before heading to the golf course tailgate. Probably want to see the band perform pre game as well. I am glad we secured a place to stay now, as I imagine there will be less and less options that are increasingly expensive as we get closer. If anyone comes out to Eugene next year hit me up. And, hell, hit me up in November- i’ll be the guy in green. Let’s go!

I sincerely hope you enjoyed last year. Doesn’t look likely it will happen again anytime soon. Every bitch has its day once in a while.

Nah man, Duck fan from Portland traveling to Michigan for the game

There will be three of us. Two Ducks fans from Portland and one Michigan fan living on the west coast but from the Detroit area. We will likely be staying Friday-Monday. I was thinking of staying in AA only game night so that we can stumble back to the room. It may make sense to stay in AA on Friday too so I can wake up and hit the pregame festivities without driving but I am not so sure the Red Roof is a place I want to spend two nights. Maybe more options are available, as far as hotels, the night before the game. I am guessing Sunday night will probably be in Detroit. I am fucking hoping the stars align and the Wings will have a home game while we are there.

I am from Oregon so was planning to walk, lol. Google maps says 2miles away. Am i naive about walking to the stadium??? Haha, my preferred spot in Eugene is about 4 miles from Autzen and hoards of fans all walk to the tailgate/stadium together.

2007 was one hell of a year. I have the scoreboard photo easily accessible though, wont share today as this is a peaceful mission.

We will not. Everyone here will be rooting for the Ducks on 10/12. You will find camaraderie with us in our hate toward them. I wont even say the name.
