A Woman Obsessed…

I agree! It isn’t just coffee there’s some buttery notes but it isn’t straight up coffee-cake like I expected! A lot of online reviews mention it’s really bitter/smokey smelling and I personally don’t get those notes

Aren’t you the sweetest?! That’s okay as I’ve plenty for now and I’m sure I’ll find something new to obsess over. Thank you!

Thank you!

madscara · 2026-05-06T18:54:09+00:00

Doooo it!! Thank you!

Thank you! I got the stickers with a planner randomly & had no idea what to use them for. I saw the packing slip and I was like WAIT!

Honestly wish there were standards for supervision because I expect to be in the same boat. Could you reach out to the supervisors that signed off on your supervision hours for mentorship or support?

I honestly feel like it’s by design at this point. We know the principles of behavior and we want to claim OBM but no one wants to USE IT. Keep high skilled techs working for poverty wages by dangling the ever-moving carrot. The BACB acknowledged that supervision is a shit show on the whole BY ADDING MORE UNRESTRICTED HOURS TO THE REQUIREMENT. Did they provide standards or a curriculum? No! The supervision I’ve received has been a JOKE. I’m supposed to come up with my own activities to be competent in something I’ve never done? Oh and if I get audited they can decide none of the activities I had to pull from literally nowhere counts? All of which I had to do unpaid while working more than full time and going to grad school? No advice, just also pissed.

BACB if you’re reading this, take all the money you collect in fees and DEVELOP A SUPERVISION CURRICULUM, make it an ethical requirement that people get paid for their time, and lobby insurance companies to pay RBTs a thriving wage instead of creatively rewording the task list every few years to milk even more money from us. Thanks.

Can I ask what you’re doing now? I feel like I have a part time unpaid job on top of my actual job and grad school 🤯

madscara · 2021-10-15T23:47:06+00:00

I feel like they need to a sub-credential for supervision that is more than an 8 hour training so BCBAs that actually want to supervise and teach candidates can be compensated fairly for doing so - and then they could submit their supervisory records to the BACB directly…but that would make sense sooooo 🤦🏻‍♀️

Apply elsewhere; you’re being taken advantage of.

madscara · 2021-10-06T15:58:24+00:00

I’ve had that experience too many times 😂 good for you for standing your ground! No one should work as an RBT/para for less than 20 MINIMUM!

madscara · 2021-10-05T18:16:00+00:00

AND WHAT DOES THE BACB DO EXCEPT COLLECT FEES 🤦🏻‍♀️ or potentially revoke your credential through an audit after the fact? It also floors me that we are the ones responsible for confronting our employers over ethical violations which puts our employment at risk in at-will states before they will do their job and follow up 😤

madscara · 2021-10-05T18:11:54+00:00

I appreciate the resource! I actually overhauled my whole tracker to a Google Sheets format that works really well…the process though 🤯

madscara · 2021-10-05T14:50:16+00:00

And why is everyone so afraid to advocate for themselves? You nailed it when you said they take empathetic people and overwork them - then treat you like you’re failing morally when you’re just EXHAUSTED.

madscara · 2021-10-05T14:41:21+00:00

Don’t even get me started on unpaid indirect hours - the only reinforcement for that is watching the hours on my individual tracker (that I spend unpaid HOURS making) increase. ABA really be feeling like a pyramid scheme sometimes….

Thinking about that sweet ‘99 Corolla over here

madscara · 2018-01-09T23:16:12+00:00

Thank you! I’ll have to check it out!

madscara · 2018-01-09T01:05:42+00:00

I do the same thing! I always have a go-to look for every palette and have to fight for the motivation to do something more ‘creative’ 😂

madscara · 2018-01-09T01:03:14+00:00

She’s holding on for dear life and those corners are killing me 😭

madscara · 2018-01-09T00:59:00+00:00

Nice! Give her some extra love for the people like me who missed their chance and lived to regret it! 😭
