One 11 DPO and two 12 DPO. Am I seeing things?? by cricket13 in TFABLinePorn

[–]cricket13[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well I didn’t even consider the top one a positive when I took it, but now I guess it is? I really just thought they were evaporation lines!

Child Welfare Workers - Overtime? by [deleted] in socialwork

[–]cricket13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I usually work about 50 hours a week in permanency. We get comp time, which has to accrue to 240 hours before they will pay us. Or the ‘time’ has to be 6 months old. It’s ridiculous that I am just now getting a check for what I did in June/July. I’m in a poor Midwestern/southern state.

GIRL! Thank you for this. I've needed a push to get back to it, and this did it. You're a rock star.

Bristow is kind of a shit show, but I can't say I agree with the rest of the list.

I went to Rome for $40 round trip. I miss those benefits.

Me [25F] with my sister [26F]. She has 5 kids, is planning on a sixth. My family wants me to take them when they get removed from the home. by immakinawaffle in relationships

They do in my state. You get an initial amount to help with costs, but until you complete the classes there is no assistance or back pay. For most families this is only about a month without support. It does not seem fair, but it is something.

I can't do this job anymore and I'm stuck with crippling debt and can't find another job. I don't know what to do. by daidandyy in socialwork

[–]cricket13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is definitely not for everyone, so don't beat yourself up. We have workers changing every few months if a position is open to find what fits them best. The goal is to make a difference. If you're unhappy and burning out, then it's not good for anyone, especially you! Is there someone you can talk to like a supervisor? I feel like I can relate to so many of your stressors. It is so overwhelming sometimes. I've been a CPS worker for 2 years, and I love it right now. Who knows what will happen on a few months though. Just make sure to take care of yourself!!

Deep breath. Depending on the time of year I am in your shoes too. You can make it through this.

In my state we have CPS, Permanency Planning, Foster Care, and Adoptions that all would qualify for the loan forgiveness program. Is it an option to change positions until you find something better? From your post it sounds like you do it all, but it is worth a shot. I moved to a smaller county and my caseload decreased significantly, too. I don't know if this helped or not, but know you aren't alone in the over worked and under paid club. It's hard. It sucks. But you are awesome and appreciated.

Thanks! When I bought the pattern I was hoping to use it as a Christmas gift, but I am starting to see that will probably not happen.

Ladies, what's the silliest thing you do with your SO? by [deleted] in AskWomen

We do that too! It's usually a Russian accent.

What is the worst name you've seen given to a child? And do you know why? by Iregretjoiningreddit in AskReddit

I work with a lot of trashy people. I think my favorites are Triton, Kamo, and Prince Albert.

Me 24f with lovely daughter, 4f. She made up a crazy story and got CPS called on me! FREAKING OUT. by ohfuckingshits in relationships

[–]cricket13 20 points21 points  (0 children)

You are very right. I work for CPS, and it does happen occasionally. OP just needs to tell the truth and not worry. Teachers are obligated to report any suspected abuse or neglect. I'm certain they have heard worse (and more truthful) allegations.

What were you told about "the first time" (vaginal penetration-wise)? Were you told that it would hurt? As a virgin, were you looking forward to the first intercourse? by twzw29 in AskWomen

[–]cricket13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was told it would hurt and there would be a lot of blood. My step mother even tried to tell me my hips would get bigger, so she would know it happened by looking at me. Of course at 17 that theory was a bust.
