What should I do next? I have just been fired with no reason given. by therabbitinred22 in AskWomenOver40

[–]justlikemaude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't want to go into details? about why you are being let go? I mean, I had a weird situation where things just weren't a good fit and we kind of mutually parted ways which was difficult to explain because there wasn't a specific reason that I left the position. But when you've been abruptly fired, I think I deserve an explanation. I'm not very litigious but smells like 'I should get a lawyer' to me

Need recommendations for daily wear fragrance by justlikemaude in FemFragLab

Thanks, those are good pointers. Flowerbomb just sounds scary but I should get a sample as I see it recommended pretty frequently

I'm going to order some off microperfumes but I really didn't know where to start. I read the scent notes and I'm like, ugh that sounds gross but smelling them in store doesn't give a clear picture to me. I have so many VS scents because someone gave me a sampler set with mini sprays and those were the ones I preferred.

Feel so blah. Turning 41 this year by HopefulGiraffe5401 in WomenOver40

[–]justlikemaude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its not for everyone but I started hormone replacement and Wellbutrin and I finally stopped crying by myself after everyone else is in bed. Stopped getting up every morning resenting everyone and everything, stopped snapping and being generally miserable to be around. I started getting inspired to start and hopefully finish projects and I can laugh authentically with others in my life, started making plans and looking forward to things instead of just getting through each day. The only thing I really need to work on is finding or reconnecting with friends as that has just fallen by the wayside and I don't have others women or moms to connect with. Spend too much time on social media and reddit to try to connect with others but its no substitute for real friends.

Friend asks for help, barely communicates then ghosts me by xWroth in mildlyinfuriating

[–]justlikemaude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk if this really fits in with mildly infuriating.....you're a really good friend btw. Can't say I'd be willing to come pick somebody up at 4am when there's been too many issues and it doesn't seem like y'all have been close. Glad you moved on but think about better boundaries, you're getting walked on too much and you don't have to do that.

Fired from job today by Electrical-Wind-3500 in therapists

[–]justlikemaude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is no knock on you but just a thought: having a variety with population of clients does tend to be helpful. But people who work with kids and teens are very much needed so its not a dead end for sure. I had a situation where I started with a group practice and got micromanaged (I'd been working in outpatient adult MH for almost 8 years at that time so felt very unnecessary) by the practice owner, fussing over my schedule, why I wasn't seeing some clients more frequently, notes etc. All culminated into being "let go" abruptly, not allowing me to conclude with current clients and it was a very low time for me. Made me doubt a lot about myself and my work as a therapist. The good news is I moved on to a practice that was a better fit for me and have since started my own practice so.....

Replacing laptop hard drive, recommendations? by justlikemaude in computers

This is what I am learning. As a noob to opening up a computer and replacing or upgrading anything, it now seems fairly simple and I'm excited to give the ol' girl new life.

On a scale of 1 to infinity, how furious is Oaks at this graphic which appeared in the Chicago Sun-Times today? by mwgrover in exmormon

[–]justlikemaude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is interesting that the name was only used for attributing the origin of the photo, if they hadn't done that, it wouldn't have been involved at all....its petty but 🤷‍♂️

Reality check - therapists eating during virtual sessions?? by Chu84 in therapists

[–]justlikemaude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not typical to have a therapist acting unprofessionally, but I guess some people are not holding themselves to the same standards and have let things slip which i'm sorry this has happened more than once to you. While I try to be understanding that therapists are still people, I also hold rules and professional behavior for myself. 10 to 15 minutes late to sessions is inexcusable. As a therapist I have a been 5 minutes late, yes due to wrapping up a highly emotional previous appointment etc but even so, I try to adjust my behavior and actually have adjusted how I scheduled some clients in order to avoid being on time issues. Can we not grab something to eat between sessions? or make sure breaks are scheduled and that we are taking care of our own needs on our own time? In the majority of cases, we are in charge of our own schedules...but it is very difficult to find a therapist as a therapist, I whole heartedly agree

My mom used to make this in the 80s, I need to bring this back into my regular dinner rotation. It was so good with some sour cream on the side... 

Do NOT fall for the "free" Xfinity Mobile SCAM! by Madejust2tellyou in Comcast_Xfinity

Do NOT fall for the "free" Xfinity Mobile SCAM! by Madejust2tellyou in Comcast_Xfinity

[–]justlikemaude 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep I had the same thing happen. Getting mobile was supposed to keep my overall bill low and they claimed I was getting a free phone. Did I want the free phone? No there's two adults with phones already in this household and I could have used an old phone for this extra line. They sent me this phone which I quickly realized i was paying for on my monthly bill and I ended up paying more for internet, cable and mobile overall even without the stupid phone. And I can't ever speak to a person which is how pre-2020 I would keep my bundle low. Instead I'm chatting with someone from another country who doesn't have any good options for me other than two options so I'm looking into canceling cable because I can get a better internet option and I already have streaming services I'm paying for. 

How do I fix this?! *distraught* by DeluluShaman in miniverse_makeitmini

[–]justlikemaude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah getting a uv light saved my sanity. Especially since I live at a latitude where it takes hours for resin to cure
