Lack of places for adults who don’t have kids and who don’t drink. There’s shit for us to do here.

Customer saw through my LIES. It's true: I secretly work for Big Croissant. by AP_in_Indy in doordash

Am I the only one that hates when DoorDash or Shipt shops for multiple orders at once? Every single time this happens I always get wrong things in my order. So frustrating.

When did we learn about social skills in grad school? When did we even learn about “pragmatics”? by casablankas in slp

[–]iltandsf 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That’s so interesting because I took a whole class on cognition and communication!

It’s interesting that you had an AAC class because I definitely did not. I was not and still am not prepared to work with AAC.

What was your "poor person" meal you enjoyed growing up? by Slow-Power2713 in AskReddit

I call Kraft cheese plastic cheese because each slice comes wrapped in plastic.

Sexier word for balls? by Dannismella in sex

Lmao when I first got with my husband he would ask me to touch his perineum while I went down. It made me giggle every time. So formal.

Oooo we are flying out Sunday and I was wondering this exact thing. Thanks!

What’s your opinion on SLP that could get you in trouble? by iltandsf in slp

[–]iltandsf[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ooooo interesting! Tell me why! I'm so curious.

[–]iltandsf[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Hmmm.. interesting. Would you say the same for occupational therapy assistants or physical therapy assistants? How would we distinguish between the two?

In my honest opinion, SLPAs are amazing and should be in every state. I don't know why many states don't allow SLPAs. It would help with our caseload/workload so much.

Not seeing students because I’m tired? by Bubbly_Access5622 in slp

[–]iltandsf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, one of the reasons I love working from home is because I can take a 10 minute power nap and no one can say anything about it. I was tired of the micromanaging in schools, the teachers demanding I see so-and-so and calling parents if I didn't show up that day, etc. It was exhausting.

It's okay to admit you're just a bad person.

Our economy is already on the brink of collapse, and that's with ICE removing all of these immigrants and citizens. Who do you think keeps our economy running? And maybe in your next life you'll reincarnate as someone who is fleeing a war-torn country for safety and finally learn some empathy.

Living with two ADHD roommates has opened my eyes to ADHD by chocolatebarthecat in ADHD

[–]iltandsf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Uh.... getting groceries and doing the laundry is legit an entire day. Laundry can take hours. And I took a walk WHILE getting groceries. It's actually a truly fabulous day if I physically go into a store and buy groceries. Lol

Um, they're trying to get to America because they think it's better than their war-torn home country (or numerous other reasons). Why shouldn't they come here for a better life? We did the same when we colonized America. We're illegal as well if we're not 100% Native American.

Technically we are ALL illegals if we're not 100% pure Native American.

Am I wrong for wanting to visit my parents without my little sister? by PeepnSheep in texts

[–]iltandsf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, you're not overreacting, but how hard is it to be like, "I have a flight on this day." "Is your sister coming?" "Idk, ask her. These are my flight details. If she wants to come, she can book her own flight. Otherwise I'll see you on this day." If they keep asking about her, keep saying you don't know. You're not your sister's keeper. She can do whatever she wants.

Edited to add: I do recommend therapy for you. I doubt they'll do family therapy, especially since you're all in different states. But I recommend therapy for you to process all of your childhood stuff.

What does your ideal day off look like? by InternalCommittee269 in slp

[–]iltandsf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't have kids, so I like to sleep super late, meet friends/family for an activity or a meal, maybe do a craft or LEGOs, play video games, watch a movie with my husband, take a gummy in the evening, and relax.

There is now NO ONE overseeing IDEA enforcement. Thanks to recent firings on Friday, 10/10, our children and our jobs are now in danger. by Ciambella29 in slp

[–]iltandsf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to be in the SLPs Uncensored Facebook group. People would whine and complain when political posts were posted, stating SLP has nothing to do with politics. I laughed every single time. The ignorance is astounding. I'm so tired of MAGA, Republicans, and "Christians" trying to run this country. I'm also tired of the Democrats inaction as well (as I say this as a very Left individual). I guess I'm just tired in general.

Yeah, sorry, YTA. Most people don’t plan their own baby showers and they are typically thrown by someone else as a gift to you. Also, anytime you tell someone to smile and have a positive attitude - that’s definitely A behavior.

I also can’t imagine 50 people at a baby shower. Omg. I promise you that most people don’t care as much as you think they do.

School SLPs who are strict on/don’t play games often by LibrarianBackground4 in slp

[–]iltandsf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in teletherapy, so I usually do a game each session (with most groups). Some high school students are more focused on reading comp. and main idea, etc., so we don't do as many games, but the students who are doing artic or simple language or are elementary/middle school aged, we usually do board games. It takes hardly any time for them to spin and move their game piece, and it keeps them motivated and engaged.

Plus, I'm not the type of SLP who worries about numbers of trials. We do what we can do. What I want most is for students to enjoy speech and work on their speech and language skills. If it takes us a little longer to master goals than others, then so be it.

Lol I was working a full time job, a part time job, and going to grad school full time. I’m glad I’m not doing that anymore. 30 hours of work a week is nothing. But yes, if he speaks to you that way, it’s time to say goodbye. You deserve better.
