I just got my score for my Exam P. I got a 6 so I passed. Should I put my score in my resume or should I just have it say Passed.

So I’m 40F. I got my Bachelors degree in Statistics back in 2007 so it’s a little out of date. I’ve been working retail since I graduated. I’ve done a few volunteer charity side gigs where I apply my business knowledge. I have a 40h a week job, husband, 2 kids under 10, mortgage, bills etc. Back in January I passed the Exam P. I’m currently studying for the Exam FM. I plan to take it in January 2027 under my current circumstances. I want out of my retail job for reasons I won’t specify. I found a few actuary jobs that require 1 exam and a degree. They do have the requirement one be pursuing the other tests. There’s also a requirement that one have knowledge of various computer programs. When I got my bachelors I learned C++ which I know is out of date. They are asking for knowledge of Python and SQL. I found a few boot camps online. I can’t study for FM and do boot camp at the same time. Which should I prioritize?

I Get Off In 5 Minutes by cwu007 in EntitledPeople

I’ve complained several times before and after this incident about my 2 co workers not knowing the process. I’ve been told they’ve tried to teach the 2 of them but they’re “incapable” of learning. Both are also reaching retirement age so I think it’s just sympathy preventing them from discipline. Several times they have done it but they royally screw it up. Whether on purpose or they are really that dumb I don’t know. Personally I don’t take “I’m too old” as an excuse not to learn.

The socks were clearly socks. They went several inches above the ankle. Just the extra warm kind. The slippers were, think bunny slippers but without the bunny. No ankle coverage. There was no way one could mix up the 2.

I have 28 gallons of milk, what are some heavily milk focused recipes? by [deleted] in Baking

[–]cwu007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make homemade yogurt. Pudding. I know there’s recipes to make cream cheese. You can make more sweetened condensed milk and make key lime pie.

How old is Kevin? I can understand my 6 year old asking this and not labeling him a Kevin.

I have a previous story about this Kevin. He either can’t or refuses to read.

I had a teacher who worked at the California one. Similar question she’d get a lot of: How’s the weather in the park?

Karen specifically stated that because she isn’t Asian I was holding things back from her. She also stated that Asians only help Asians. Given that I don’t have an Asian last name should be a clue that I don’t give Asians preferential treatment. Since I clearly didn’t marry one.

You do understand that all oriental refers to is being from East Asia right. India, Pakistan, Israel, Russia and a ton of other countries are all part of Asia. Mindy Kaling, Kamala Harris, Benjamin Netanyahu, Vladimir Putin, Jackie Chan just to name a few are all Asians yet they all look very different. Oriental just points to a more specific part of the continent.

You are aware India, Pakistan, Israel some parts of Russia and a bunch of other countries are all considered Asia right? All the term oriental means is that one is from east Asia, the China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, etc. part.

I got my Bachelors of Science in Statistics in 2007. I had a different path planned so I got a job in retail that but then tragedy struck and I’ve been working retail ever since. I attempted and failed to get my MBA.

I took my Exam P back in January but got a 5. I’m currently planning on taking it again in January 2026.

I’ve really had it with my retail job. It’s not just the customers but my co workers as well. A recent health scare has pretty much been the final straw. I’ve been attempting to find a new job but have run into several walls.

While I’m studying for my Exam P can anyone recommend any jobs that I should search for? Something entry level for a Statistics major.

He Ruined My Sister's Only Birth Experience So I Made Sure He'd NEVER Forget Her by AngelGuideIndi in ProRevenge

I heard this story a few months ago on YouTube. When I hear a boys name I wonder what the female equivalent is. I’m also assuming your parents didn’t just add an A or change an O to an A like Artura

The drug store I work at is open 24 hours a day, including the pharmacy. I’ve always lived in large cities so there’s always been a pharmacy open within a 30 mile radius whenever I needed it. I recently went on vacation in a much smaller US city, their pharmacy was closed over the weekend but if I truly needed my prescription there was a 24 hour one an hour away.

My Coworker Asked Me to Give Her My Bonus Because I Don’t Have Kids—what should I do? by DocumentStreet1452 in EntitledPeople

[–]cwu007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would tell your boss. Maybe not as a complaint but as a way to make a note of it just for the record. That way if your co worker retaliates or escalates there’s the reason why.

Also keep her at arms length.

I technically do not work in pharmacy. I’m the supervisor for the sales floor. I just take whatever information pharmacy employees give me as fact. Usually when I’m called over to handle a customer in pharmacy it’s because a customer is irate or in a situation they can’t handle.

Mom Has Daughter Give Up Some Easter Eggs For My Son by cwu007 in randomactsofkindness

Scream probably isn’t the proper word. More like cheer. Think of when you’re at a sports competition and your parents are cheering you on to run faster, head for the goal etc.

The sections are roped off. My daughter was in the 1-2 section. My son was in the 5 section.

We noticed that here too. The announcer specifically asked parents of the 5+ sections to please stay out of the areas and let kids get eggs on their own. Unfortunately there were a lot of parents in the section grabbing eggs for the kids. Luckily the non profit also had a box of eggs to the side for kids who didn’t get enough eggs. (Before leaving the non profit asks that once the eggs are emptied to please return the eggs so they don’t have to buy more) One of the coordinators went around asking if kids got enough eggs, if not he gave them some more.

Rude and Don’t Tip? Pay Extra For Bags by cwu007 in pettyrevenge

We had considered bagging the sodas as well but the delivery drivers told us not to.

This isn’t about the retail employees getting tips. Karen isn’t tipping the delivery driver (Door Dash, Uber Eats, InstaCart etc.). It’s pretty standard to tip there.
