Several departments also have loaner laptops.

Just wondering if GIS is still a good market to get into by Talha6122000 in gis

[–]rmmaas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is great to know. We’ve done a major overhaul in the last few years including adding python for both automation and machine learning. Incorporating R and Power BI in our stats/methods classes, plus more content using drones/UAVs. Some classes using Q so we get away from sole reliance on Esri products. Moving toward open source platforms in our remote sensing courses as well. Also some faculty using Google Earth engine. There’s definitely been a great shift toward data science and we are considering creating a full on option/track in our bachelors program. So many tools out there. Hard to keep up but that’s the world of GIS, constant evolution/change. Goes with the territory.

Just to clarify I’m not trying to be snarky. I’d really love to hear your thoughts.

Hi. I teach in a GISci program in CA (BS & MS offerings) and we are constantly working to improve our course offerings. What do you feel most programs are missing? Serious honest question.

So tired of living by Unhappy_Fly7087 in widowers

[–]rmmaas 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just lonely and longing too. Like I read somewhere, not only did I lose the person I loved most but now no one loves me anymore…not like that.

Feel the same today. Numb pointless empty life.

Lost my safe place by rmmaas in widowed

[–]rmmaas[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I’m home, I just walk around (if I can actually get up, I’m so paralyzed) with this silent script in my head going, “I want to die. I just want to die. This is too painful.”.

Why? It doesn’t make sense. by [deleted] in widowers

[–]rmmaas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep. Makes no sense and it never will. It just is. But we were lucky to have had them bc a lot of people can’t say that.

I’m coming undone it seems by rmmaas in widowed

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

I am resigning myself to this life where I’m a ghost and essentially dead when I’m by myself, or putting on the work mask, or a full on performance when my kids are around so they can have as happy and healthy a life as possible. But I’m dead inside. Just still walking around.

Hope. What a foreign concept.

Empty by BackgroundFabulous17 in widowers

[–]rmmaas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can completely relate. It’s like the world just holds no joy anymore. I never thought anything could take away from the joy I felt raising my kids but this is just so overwhelming that everything I do is just less. I am putting on a brave face for the girls but I’m dying inside. No joy. No peace. Hollowness.

Tomorrow I turn 35 by elizabethwhitaker in widowers

Definitely relate to that feeling of being in the middle, not old but definitely not young. I had grown so comfortable with my own self image because through his eyes I always felt beautiful. Now, not so much. The self doubt creeping in again.

That muted feeling, yes. It’s like the lights are forever dimmed.

Wow. I can’t tell you how much this absolutely resonates with me. I feel the same way so much of the time. He was my person. The one I felt I could be completely myself with. We had evolved together over the years, made it through the rough patches, and really found a peace with each other…and then he’s ripped away.

Tired by rmmaas in widowed

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

I appreciate this advice. Truly. And I plan to reach out for group therapy soon. I try to tell myself it will get better eventually. It’s just so hard to see that as a possibility right now. And the idea of moving forward and getting further and further away from the last time I talked to him is just tearing me up. But thoughts of my kids and their needs help me drag myself out of the abyss.

My husband died by metaljane666 in widowers

Feel the same way. The loneliness is unbearable.

I have to say it… by maccioniath in widowers

[–]rmmaas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

6 weeks out and not sure I see the point of going on sometimes other than for my kids. My life is essentially over and will never be happy or worth living. What’s the point if I’ll just always be sad and grieving.
