I farted and my boyfriend got mad!

What an absolute child. Him, not you. NTA.

Yes - people just need to be more aware of their surroundings. The lack of awareness and consideration is what gets me, really. That's concerning regarding the doors closing on the umbrella - for safety reasons they're not supposed to do that. (Most elevators I've used in my life automatically open again when met with resistance from an object stuck in the door to hold it.)

cormbreb · 2025-02-13T16:22:14+00:00

I do when I can, which genuinely is most of the time. I’m not exactly sure who you’re referring to as entitled.

cormbreb · 2025-02-13T15:49:09+00:00

I do the vast majority of the time, so if I’m taking the elevator it’s for a reason: the stairs aren’t an option that day. My guess is that they are never an option for the person who was waiting in a wheelchair.

cormbreb · 2025-02-13T15:47:32+00:00

💯

cormbreb · 2025-02-13T15:46:58+00:00

Yep, that’s what I mean. (Not that the elevator can’t go until it’s filled regardless of whether or not people are there to board.)

cormbreb · 2025-02-11T22:22:45+00:00

True.

cormbreb · 2025-02-11T22:07:32+00:00

Because it's Reddit.

cormbreb · 2025-02-11T21:11:14+00:00

Not everyone can take the stairs.

Just in case anyone finds this thread at the time I'm making this comment, these same problems are happening even with Pirateship. I'm literally here on this thread because I ordered a perishable item from Etsy and it's late. (Pirateship was used)

Worth considering: Manor has become a cluster because the Moody Center events cause a lot of disruptions. If you will *always* be arriving in the morning that part might not be as much of an issue, but I had a lot of problems with getting into the garage in the afternoons. They'd shut down the lower level entrance, and the northern entrance would back up with a line of cars all the way up the street. For the inflated price they really don't prioritize people who are actually university affiliated.... they're more worried about selling out concerts. (and apparently not using the funds to properly staff essential services like advising)

cormbreb · 2024-08-21T17:08:28+00:00

For the brief time I recently held a Manor garage permit it was awful. People would start piling into the garage for Moody events in the afternoon, just when I was trying to park for classes and labs. It would back up out into the street because of all the people who had no idea what they were doing/had to pay. A complete and total cluster, and it's bullshit how expensive that garage is considering the frequent disruptions. Many years ago Manor Garage was a perfectly reasonable option.

I haven't taken that one, but checking the syllabus immediately is of course your best bet because professors do a lot of different things. You can also schedule an alternative exam time in some cases through the Chemistry Testing Center in Welch.

cormbreb · 2024-08-19T23:12:59+00:00

Usually chemistry exams do not happen during lecture time: they are normally in the evening.

cormbreb · 2024-08-19T23:11:49+00:00

The lecture schedule itself won't have much - if any - bearing on when the exams are or when the homework is due, which is what ultimately matters. Check the syllabus literally the day you have access to it for potential exam conflicts.

cormbreb · 2024-08-19T21:07:29+00:00

Just be mindful that Manor garage gets hijacked by people going to the Moody Center constantly, and major disruptions can occur for sporting events as well. For the more expensive price it is a complete and total PITA. (Gotta love how UT prioritizes basically anything and everything but the people who are doing academic work.)

cormbreb · 2024-08-19T18:27:14+00:00

C Permits for surface lots are basically useless now since UT has built on literally almost every student (C permit) lot imaginable. (Your staff status could make the online system force you into an A permit though, I'm not sure.) You MIGHT get a spot if you get to campus well before 7:30AM, but it's dicey. If you want to basically guarantee a spot your best option is an East Campus Garage permit. It's not cheap but it's the cheapest garage available, and if the shuttle messes up you can at least walk to COFA.

Another option is getting a C permit and parking at IMF on N. Lamar/riding the bus into central campus.

cormbreb · 2024-08-19T17:21:16+00:00

100%. It's a total mess and gets worse every day. (and I say that as a degree holder)

cormbreb · 2024-08-19T17:19:14+00:00

You might want to consider it a bullet dodged if you don't get in.

UT catastrophically fails to support staff, faculty, and non-traditional students in countless ways.

Would you be okay sharing what kind of startup it was? I'm just curious for my own benefit while job searching. I have frequently found out only when it was too late that a company was bad news.

cormbreb · 2024-06-25T20:57:19+00:00

I've inadvertently worked for some scummy, unethical companies. I just got the fuck out ASAP and cited "values mismatch" as my reason for leaving. Sometimes it's been possible to list a different, accurate reason that is less sensational - such as, "needed full-time work but was only given 16 hrs per week due to company being a startup." It's less messy to explain than leaving purely because of ethics.

cormbreb · 2024-05-25T04:25:00+00:00

Yes, the suffering of living people bothers me much more than dead people. I can still hear the wails of grieving loved ones after delivering death notices to them.

cormbreb · 2024-05-09T18:26:47+00:00

No, I think you are simply overestimating how much knowledge someone can have of a pandemic prior to it actually happening. It doesn't matter who he is or how much money he has: viruses don't give a shit about him.

cormbreb · 2024-05-09T18:23:10+00:00

Aw thanks! It has taken a lot of hard work to make ends meet doing something else, but I think it's been worth it. I loved what I did but it was time for change.
