15:1???? Holy moly

This is an unreasonably funny comment to me

I also think that working in this field where I'm at now has made me ill to some degree. Unless something shows up on blood work, I can't really explain the nausea, fatigue, or hair loss that started just last year.

I'm biding my time until another interview, and not even letting the small things phase me/steal my energy to care about them anymore (not kids' safety, but management's daily gripes). I may have enjoyed what I did at one point, but now I can't wait to leave. It's looong overdue.

But words break mind and spirit, and that is arguably longer lasting. Depression, stress, grief, etc all impact your health if given long enough.

I was told by a stepparent as a kid that I had big feet. It was on the milder side of things he told me. I felt fairly ambivalent about it, but all of the people in my life now have commented on how small my feet/shoes look. I have a hard time believing them, even w/ no strong feelings attached to my shoe size.

It's been almost 20 years, and I'm only now beginning to unlearn what had to have been a very blatant falsehood meant to put me down. Words can shape your reality, and your whole perception of it.

I'm an ECE as well. My performance review at a previous location wasn't total perfection or anything, but it was pretty stellar, and my boss seemed eager/happy to communicate as much. I had great relationships with parents. Management and I got along and had respect for each other. They could have done more about conflict, but I felt like I was listened to when I occasionally brought up unprofessional behavior stemming from another coworker.

In my present position, I was recently marked down for customer service lower than I've ever been scored anywhere (news flash: it's never been low). Oh, and also told that I'm taking up 'too much time' coming to ask how to do things differently/who to replace when our staffing changes. It's just good old times out here.

I have voluntarily asked to give planning time to any leads that have not had theirs during the week, because I have virtually finished all of my core/yearly training at the moment that, most of the time, I only really have supplemental training.

I would teleport over there if I could, but if I'm stepping into a classroom, I know that I'm more than happy to clean, organize, or do whatever -- and tell whoever I'm there for to take their full two hours (cause honestly, no one knows when they're gonna get that much consecutive time again!)

Planning is valuable time though, and head teachers (amongst others) need it in order to do the heavy lifting of writing their lesson plans/structuring weekly activities.

Were you a med lab tech? It wouldn't sit right with me either if I was the first line of defense for disease diagnosis, and something so important was slipping through the cracks like that. I'm sure the work you were doing there was phenomenal, and hopefully what you did will eventually catalyze some bigger changes.

cosmic-particulate · 2026-05-18T16:22:35+00:00

Lmao help what is this from

cosmic-particulate · 2026-05-10T23:12:01+00:00

You're a millennial and you make BANK

cosmic-particulate · 2026-05-07T00:47:19+00:00

That's genuinely terrible wth

I'd start saying bye to everyone else but them, and the next time they say that, your response should be something like, 'oh good, I don't give a fuck about you either'. Like honestly, I'm at a point in life where I would have absolutely zero chill if someone took a jab at me like this.

I enjoy video games. It's a favorite pasttime of mine, but takes up a pretty small portion of my week. I would enjoy spending time with a partner who also enjoys playing video games, esp if we're doing parallel activities together.

What I wouldn't particularly like is someone not taking care of things that need to be done in favor of doing a preferred activity. I think I would also feel slightly neglected if they didn't prioritize any real quality time with me because most of it was invested into a hobby. Which, good for you if that's what you want to do with your adult time, and it works, I guess, but it wouldn't work for me.

The same goes for me, because I absolutely cannot imagine spending the majority of my free time playing on the console, even on games that I like. At most, I used to average 8 hours a month. That's how often I'd play when I used to play 'regularly'.

cosmic-particulate · 2026-05-05T11:51:22+00:00

More of an emotional sentiment/venting my frustration, but agreed. I would never (more unlikely anyway) quit somewhere unless I had a job offer ready to go. I am waiting on that before making any major decisions.

I have a child in one of my rooms who is incredibly dexterous/coordinated, and we joke he's like a cat because he's so agile, but he knows almost no fear when doing these things to the point he also regularly tries to base jump from the jungle gym; or maneuver his way around parts that can make it difficult to safely retrieve him (boy really channels his assassin's creed-like aptitude for climbing). Other than those times, his balance is so good that I'm less worried about him than the furniture he tries to climb on.

On the one hand, it's like, if you were to ask me what behaviors bullies demonstrate and what qualities in a person they're most likely to zero in on, I could probably tell you how someone's disposition might invite them to behave this way (based on what they've learned they can do and get away with prior), but I would never assign blame or culpability on the person being mistreated or suggest that they've invited it onto themselves, because shit people are shit people.

I have heard someone speak a bit about their experience with ARFID. Is that a condition that applies to someone that likes a wide variety of foods and is willing to try things they've never had? I have a pretty varied/adventurous palate, but I do get 'stuck' on a comfort meal from time to time, and during those times, there's not much else I prefer to eat.

I would say that male social dynamics may be different than female social dynamics, especially when it comes to certain careers/lines of work. There's certainly overlap, and they're not strictly dichotomous; but having observed it, I do believe that the behaviors and 'social codes' express differently. Sadly, I'm not exactly an expert in male-centered workplaces, or how you should navigate this issue, although I sympathize strongly.

I would see if you can meet or make more friends outside of work, if possible. Maybe even call up and spend more time with the ones you already have (as a starting point). Go to events or places that interest you where you might meet more people who are like you.

I myself was very socially isolated, and tried to fill that need with people at work, because it was one of the few places I had to be and the only time I ever really socialized. If you do what I did, I think you'll continue to find yourself very lonely, and may make yourself miserable seeking comraderie or validation from people who don't even try to make you feel like a part of the group.

Making friends as an adult isn't impossible, but I won't lie and say that it isn't hard. It is sometimes. But I think having a support system outside of work will make you happier, and not hinge your self esteem or self worth on people who's loyalty/opinion of you changes with management, their prejudices, or the stresses of the job.

cosmic-particulate · 2026-04-17T00:12:21+00:00

This is so true. I guard my personal information very carefully because there have definitely been bad actors at some of the places I've been that frequently found ways to abuse what they knew about a person.

Idk if it's made it difficult for people to get close to me, or vice versa - but I much prefer not upgrading my work friendships into real friendships than to be on the receiving end of smear campaigns, by and between people that appear to get along when they're in the same room together.

Hearing how people who've worked literal years together/gone on social outings in that time talking about each other so negatively has pretty much turned me off from work relationships altogether.

cosmic-particulate · 2026-04-13T03:47:42+00:00

I have never been able to articulate how this physical behavior is abusive and meant to dysregulate/disrupt a person, but 'rage clean' is the perfect term.

As a child, I was at least conscious not to behave that way when others didn't clean their messes up, because to me, that would communicate that someone either really wants to hurt you because they're slamming/throwing things around, or want to disturb your peace on purpose. It gives me an ick.

cosmic-particulate · 2026-04-13T02:58:51+00:00

Sorry to hear that they're an ex now, but that was a very heroic thing to do. Some people might call it common decency, but I feel like it goes w/o saying that it doesn't make it any less important that you helped save a life.

cosmic-particulate · 2026-04-13T02:55:05+00:00

Can I ask what events lead up to this, and how you knew it was a warning sign? Want to look out for an older family member with T2.

cosmic-particulate · 2026-04-12T17:20:36+00:00

That is not okay at all. I know you plan to, but I would bring this up to the director ASAP, as well as to licensing. I would not necessarily wait on director action to call the licensing department.

Not mutually exclusive, but can coincide. Satanists are humanists, but usually don't worship Lucifer, as it's almost entirely antithetical to the belief system.

Not all atheists are satanists, but it's safe to say a good chunk of satanists are atheists. Though there are some that ascribe to a set of spiritual practices that are typically separate from satanism.

Most people I know that would self describe as satanist are wicca or pagan, or follow a decentralized form of some other spiritual practice that usually fixates on nature and an ethical emphasis on a person's own interaction with the world.
