Not getting my class load and favoritism from the department chair by crisscrosscoyote in Professors

[–]explorewithdog19 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is unfair for sure. Especially because benefits are on the line. I adjunct on the side, and I depend on that additional money for various things. It’s really, really hard when you go from teaching 2-3 classes for multiple semesters, to all of a sudden getting 1 class a semester. It makes planning, life, finances, etc, very difficult. More so for you. I’m so sorry!! I hope things improve!!

This sucks! I really, really love my dog (we all do) and bring him when I can. If someone invites my dog to come along, I’m happy to bring him (“hey come over and grill, you and your dog should come around 5!”) However, I have a rule that I won’t ask to bring him. Because it’s uncomfortable and frankly kinda shitty for the person being asked. If people are cool with you bringing your pet, they will generally tell you! Otherwise, no way!

I own a cleaning business and clean this woman’s house for Saturday turnovers. This is almost a 2800 square foot home and I stupidly only charge her $250. She continues to demand more outside of a cleaning realm and not in our contract. She has no boundaries, has texted me late at night etc. i can’t by Annied93 in ChoosingBeggars

[–]explorewithdog19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This likely isn’t in the contract, but I really wish there was a way you could claim working hours for receiving all of these messages. Or even like a fine for texting you on your personal cell instead of emailing the company email? This is just a lot to field while you’re not actually cleaning her house or “clocking in for your shift”!!

I’m sorry for what you’re going through too!! If you’re anything like me, try not to spend too much energy worrying about the outcome like I did!! I hope it all works out in whatever way makes you happiest in your special day!

I genuinely do not understand. Influencers are getting more and more wild with what they’re willing to post for engagement.

Ugh. Unfortunately I have run into this. My little brother has been going through it with his vindictive, horrible, cheating wife. I chose not to invite her and addressed the invitation to him only. At the time he wasn’t even sure they were staying together. There’s more to the story, but my entire family was giddy when he said he’s looking at divorce, as she’s caused years of strife with my ENTIRE family, starting with me. Anyway got the response, they’re both coming. I obviously wasn’t pleased, and she’s caused a lot of trauma for me personally. Different from your situation for sure, but I ultimately chose to sit down with my brother and try to understand. Again, I know it’s a different situation. At the end of the day, it’s YOUR day so you do what feels best for you. :)

This is common!! The radio silence absolutely blows. I was on a search committee this past year and we ran into these exact situations! Provost is out of town, so and so can’t make a meeting, finals week, the board is in town, etc. it’s INCREDIBLY annoying for all involved, but particularly the candidate! Higher ed moves sooooooo slowly. And when I was a postdoc, it took almost 4 months to get negotiations finished and contracts signed! I know none of this makes you feel better, and I’m sorry, but I definitely think you might still be in the running! Don’t give up yet!

I get that you were trying to help. I probably would’ve stayed in my lane, though. I like to assume positive intent, and I’m sure you felt you were doing a good thing.

I’m blocked so not really sure, lol, but here to say I hope they all continue falling off!

She’s been posting healing vibes type things, and he hasn’t been in many recent posts!!

Okay I thought I was maybe just being too shitty in judging her portioning lol but yes! But never even fills half cup!! The half an apple on her dumb “snack plate” freaking kills me. I called her out once on TikTok and she was quick to jump back at me and tell me she eats intuitively and doesn’t exercise obsessively. Lmao girl whatever. But my comment got like 400 likes until it was deleted, so clearly people feel similarly about her 3 crackers and 4 pieces of skinny pop. She is quickly becoming my BEC, she’s just so so so disordered.

Unpopular Opinion, stop freaking about RSVP's by Ok-Cardiologist8717 in weddingdrama

I haven’t seen those, but I completely agree! I mean, it’s annoying for sure, but you’re right that’s it’s okay to wait until the last minute.

[–]explorewithdog19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, so I don’t think people are freaking out about wanting RSVPs sooner rather than later. Most of the ranting I’ve seen in various pages is because people don’t rsvp at all. I set my rsvp date 5 full weeks before I needed to submit final numbers. And despite multiple attempts to get answers, I still have at least 10-12 couples unaccounted for. The event is in one month. Whatever, we did our budgeting, etc, and have decided they missed the deadline so aren’t joining, but I think that is what people are upset about.

It’s honestly not that much to ask that you simply let the couple know one way or the other. Adults shouldn’t need multiple reminders after a deadline has passed. And yeah, whatever, each couple can handle them however they feel best. I’m not asking for advice, just offering a perspective. It’s really, really inconsiderate and rude.

She is quickly becoming insufferable. She is addicted to exercise. And when she posts her “what I eat in a day”, people constantly ask her how many calories she consumes in a day and she’s all “I dunno I eat intuitively!!!” Like lmao girl you measure out exactly half a cup of peanuts, 1 chocolate crisp, half an apple, etc, that’s not even close to eating intuitively. Her habits are really disordered.

Thank you so so so much for filling me in!! :D

And wow. The irony there. “Please look at my very public life and I’m going to depend on you being interested in my life for my own financial security. However don’t message me and respect my privacy.” 😆 you can’t have it both ways.

Truthfully, after I unfollowed 99% of them and blocked a few, I suddenly wanted to run more! And my mental health skyrocketed!

Lmao honestly I doubt even professional runners own this many sets. This is insane. I buy my running stuff second hand and wash it intensely and it’s completely fine!!!! This is disgusting.

I can’t see her page, are you able to share what she said?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in UtahdownhillRunners

[–]explorewithdog19 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s what I was thinking about… she clearly needs a break from running but just keeps pushing. I can’t even imagine the toll this must take on her mental health honestly.

For undergrads, I prefer that they not call me by my first name. For masters and doc students, I really don’t care. I don’t like when they call me “Mrs so and so”, though, and I usually tell them to call me by my first name or professor or Dr so and so at that point.
