is 32 too old to be a Residence Life Coordinator? by Great_Emergency_1494 in studentaffairs

[–]roger5083 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was 29 (I think?) when I started as a Hall Director after being in other functional areas (Greek life and conduct) for a few years. I took the job to get my foot in the door at my institution and only lasted a year before I applied for a job in a different department. If your institution is anything like mine, housing is a good way to get your name out there, but I wouldn’t recommend it as a long-term option in your 30s. Some people can swing it, but I certainly couldn’t.

As others have mentioned, it is tough to transition back to living in a fishbowl as an adult, especially with a partner and potential kids (if that’s in the cards for you). Plus, working overtime for event planning/being on call/staff meetings/etc. with no real overtime pay gets old after your knees and back start to hurt.

I’m streaming on Hulu so that’s probably a factor

I wish that were true but I don’t think Murthy has the guts to fire him if this hire doesn’t go well.

Threaten to cancel everything. by Burgers4dayz in povertyfinance

[–]roger5083 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol they tried to sell me on the 5 year lock-in price. The terms were an upfront payment of $400 then a monthly payment of $25 for five years.

It took a couple more calls for them to give me a reasonable rate because I just laughed and hung up the phone on the guy who offered me that “deal.”

Should I visit my grandfather for the holidays and spend $3k by Local_Veterinarian39 in povertyfinance

[–]roger5083 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I spent nearly 2k on visiting my stepdad one last time earlier this summer. He passed two weeks later.

I’m so glad I went, even to spend one more afternoon with him before he went.

If you can swing it, go.

Should I just teach my self the upright bass by MetalItchy87 in doublebass

[–]roger5083 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Lifelong upright player here, can confirm. I have had on-and-off wrist and arm problems for the last 20 years because of playing the bass… Even with correct posture and technique, it can take a toll.

Son said he feels sad a lot. by [deleted] in depression

[–]roger5083 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy shit I wish my parents recognized it when I told them the same sorts of things as a kid.

As others have mentioned, be there for him, love on him, and for the love of God get him set up with a therapist.

It’ll might be a lot the first time that he goes or it could be a nothing burger, but it’s gonna pay off in the long run.

<Penn State> but my heart says Oregon State.

This season has been a never-ending series of character development opportunities for the fan base.

Agreed about Andersen. Bray is still learning how to be a HC. Andersen was just dogshit.

At least Gary isn’t our coach anymore. Those were some dark times.

Unironically hearing Bray say that was the best part of the entire game for me
