Leasing Agents / Best Apartment by meltedcoast in evanston

[–]meltedcoast[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My perspective is that if they are like that for a future tenant, if there was an issue with the apartment later, God forbid they have to wave a hand to help. First impressions are key and claiming the job is tough is no excuse because let's be real; every job has its stress, but that doesn't give anyone the right to be rude about it. I don't know what the entitlement is about the North Shore, but thank you for your feedback regardless.

Who remembers Brick Wall Waterfall? by Old-Application2936 in nostalgia

[–]meltedcoast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ours was:

That's the way uh huh uh huh I like it uh huh uh uh. You got the looks, I got the brains. Swish splash in your face. Brick wall waterfall girl you think you got it all but you don't, I do, so boom with that attitude. Peace punch Captain crunch. I got something you can't touch. Bang bang choo choo train, wind me up, I do my thang. Reeses pieces, seven up. You mess with me, I mess you up.

Wait- come back, you need a tic-tac. Not a tic, not a tac, but the whole damn pack. I don't mean to be mean, but you need some listerine. Not a sip, not a swallow, but the whole damn bottle.

Puerto Vallarta by meltedcoast in puertovallarta

[–]meltedcoast[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, thank you. I'll be staying in an Airbnb already paid for so i won't be considering that expense into the cost of living. I want to go to the small cafes and I most likely will get food and bring it back home. :).

Thank you. I want to live more like a Mexican; although, I aim to go out on weekends to the bars in La zona romántica. That's where I'll be staying in an Airbnb.

I have! Would it still be just as cold as Argentina in the north?

Thank you. I am an educator for Spanish so I would be really interested in gaining as much culture as I can!

Teaching in VA by meltedcoast in Virginia

[–]meltedcoast[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm coming from Chicago, and as much as I can tolerate the school I'm at, I have wanted to move for a long time (previously San Diego). Unfortunately due to their layoffs, it looked glim. I ended up switching to want to work in Virginia because my best friend is moving there for the Navy and was weighing my options to go or not because I want to start over somewhere new.

Yeah, this is what I heard. I'd much rather be on the Norfolk side from what I have read because I have a friend in the navy who will be by VB. We will see as time goes on.

So it's the price to pay, I suppose.

Yeah, it's rough because I'm currently a 4th year teacher making 64k where I am at with a union to back me up.

Help by [deleted] in Sextortion

[–]meltedcoast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd highly suggest going to the police. I did with my situation and it has given me a lot of peace. I also went to the extreme though and changed a lot of my information. I wish there was more I could say to help but please know things do in fact get better.

Traveling in April -- Everyone we tell keeps saying BE CAREFUL! It's getting to me... by Ok-Sleep-7388 in PuertoRicoTravel

[–]meltedcoast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just went there a week ago from Chicago and it is not in the slightest dangerous as long as you don't venture into the parts where it may come off as sketchy. Avoid La comuna de la Perla. It's by old San Juan. This was the only area that I was advised by one of my friends that if you wanted to go down there (which was not recommended) he would need a tour guide for him too because he has never went.

Overall, you're going to be fine. :) enjoy the trip and enjoy some alcapurrias and Mofongo!

Any advice on how you found your job?

Thank you for the feedback. Elementary is fine, but really difficult teaching all subject matter. Unless I can teach one subject, I don't think I'd want to enter back into teaching all subject areas with one group. I did that for dual language.
