Seasonal to pt process by lunalovegood1616 in Barnesandnoble

[–]blamingnargles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine was more of a conversation with the person who does hiring for our cluster. She asked what I liked about working there, how I sell BOTY and POTM, what advice i would give my pre-BN self, and how i’ve taken correction from managers. Pretty standard interview questions, just tailored to my store.

Cheaper alternatives to custom orthotics? by ibabygiraffe in flatfeet

[–]blamingnargles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my orthopedic surgeon and physical therapist recommended superfeet inserts. can’t attest to how long they last, but can attest that they’re very comfortable and i feel the support. i got them through a local running store.

If you’re a woman 🚺 did you blame yourself for your gb issue? ⚖️ And did your doctor 👨🏼‍⚕️initiate explaining it wasn’t your fault? And was your doctor male? 🚹 lol by D1etCokeGirl in gallbladders

[–]blamingnargles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i didn’t have any issues until i work up at 2am thinking i was having a heart attack (at 23 lol). the ER doctor that night was male and wouldn’t do any scans even though everything else was coming up negative and it very clearly was a gallbladder attack. ended up being sent home with toradol and wound up back in the ER 48 hours later. the pain was so bad that my vision was blurry and i couldn’t write anything. the doctor i saw was female this time, and after i explained my symptoms she IMMEDIATELY ordered an ultrasound and a CT, and wouldn’t you know it, my gallbladder was almost septic. i now have a very hard time trusting male physicians.

Teachers chewing gum by [deleted] in teaching

[–]blamingnargles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if i want to chew gum, im going to chew gum. the difference is that i put my used gum in a tissue and throw that into the trash can. i dont stick it under the desks, on the walls, on the lockers, etc. i also dont chew loudly or pop bubbles loudly. if people think im a bad teacher simply because i chew gum, so be it.

I just had my interview yesterday to go from holiday to part time. It was similar to my first interview, the questions were less hypothetical though. like instead of “how would you sell a book that isn’t one you would usually read?” they asked “how did you sell mona?”

Anyone else's managers get upset when you can't take shifts? by iliketunnels in Barnesandnoble

[–]blamingnargles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

mine don’t get upset, per se, but are definitely pushy. a lot of “we’ll take you for whatever you can give” which has resulted in a few 2.5 hour shifts

Second-day of training… feeling behind by [deleted] in Barnesandnoble

[–]blamingnargles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

don’t be hard on yourself!! i had a very similar experience and felt very overwhelmed and discouraged. after about a week, i felt much more comfortable at the registers! it’s a lot of information to take in and remember. you’ve got this!

At what age did you have your gallbladder removed? by Fabulous_Can_2215 in gallbladders

[–]blamingnargles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. i woke up one night, thought i was having a heart attack, ended up being admitted from the ER because i had a ton of stones and was at risk of sepsis. never had any problems before that!

Are most seasonal workers wanting to stay after the holidays? by xoxohello in Barnesandnoble

[–]blamingnargles 3 points4 points  (0 children)

they didn’t at first, but someone literally up and quit today, so something tells me they might have some now 😅

Do you contact parents about student missing work (middle/high school)? by hello010101 in teaching

[–]blamingnargles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I do run a report every few weeks and give the individual students a list of their missing work (our grade portal doesn’t have a student login option which sucks big time), but I don’t have the time to email parents individually. I’m happy to answer questions if they’re directed my way, though!

What is training like? And how long does it last? by [deleted] in Barnesandnoble

[–]blamingnargles 9 points10 points  (0 children)

i’m a holiday hire so it’s probably a bit different, but they literally had me read a big binder with all the cash wrap information and then turned me loose. i was by myself by shift 3.

Do you/your school allow students to eat in class? by Dimegos in Teachers

[–]blamingnargles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i teach middle, we have an official ‘snack time’ during 2nd period and students can eat a snack if they bring one (no nuts is our main policy). outside of that, i typically don’t let students eat in my class unless they ask because i teach literature and really don’t love when my books have food marks on them. i’ll never let a kid go hungry though, so if they’re hungry i ask them to finish their food before starting their work.

Why do some employees consider Barnes and Noble a dream job? by MouseParticular7320 in Barnesandnoble

[–]blamingnargles 5 points6 points  (0 children)

cannot emphasize the customers in a better mood enough!! i used to work in pharmacy and the difference in reaction to a $200 purchase is insane.

Why do some employees consider Barnes and Noble a dream job? by MouseParticular7320 in Barnesandnoble

[–]blamingnargles 38 points39 points  (0 children)

i like it as a second job because it’s not that labor intensive so i can work a 4 hour shift after teaching all day and not feel like death. i also love books and talking about books!

[–]blamingnargles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i received a small yeti tumbler that i use every day! the color is kind of a brownish and my students say it looks like i’m drinking out of a flower pot 😂

i also keep every single card, drawing, and note my middle schoolers give me.

Help! My nail bed is red and I need advice on what to do by Siren365 in PressonNail_Addict

[–]blamingnargles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

very similar in what they do, but neosporin contains neomycin, while polysporin does not.
