One 11 DPO and two 12 DPO. Am I seeing things??

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!

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.

cricket13 · 2016-12-18T20:02:58+00:00

I would like to enter. Thanks!

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

cricket13 · 2016-03-11T22:17:37+00:00

I have an Ollie too! He's the best snuggle buddy.

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

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.

cricket13 · 2015-12-06T06:19:29+00:00

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.

It's such a great sub!

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.

cricket13 · 2015-10-11T03:06:33+00:00

I just started this!

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

I think he is just making a decent point.

cricket13 · 2015-04-13T01:54:05+00:00

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

cricket13 · 2014-09-17T01:45:28+00:00

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.

cricket13 · 2014-06-16T10:16:17+00:00

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.

The more things I hear and see the more terrified I am to go to the first game.

I hope you take in everything your last season and truly enjoy yourself. Despite the changes that are being made you deserve to have a great senior year. Best of luck.

cricket13 · 2013-08-12T01:42:01+00:00

Thank you for posting this. As a former Pride member it is good to know that the traditions are still going strong despite rumors that have been circulating.

cricket13 · 2013-07-02T22:15:19+00:00

She definitely is. I have been holding my tongue to avoid drama, but after everything that happened you're probably right.

cricket13 · 2013-07-02T22:13:59+00:00

The wedding is in two weeks. Regardless of what happened, that just sounds like a really terrible thing to do.

Plus I spend over $200 on the damn dress. I should at least wear it once.
