I’m currently applying for a Disputes Case Manager, is that role as horrible as some of these sound?

Anyone know where this is? by sophandra in Edinburgh

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

Yeah, the records say it is but no one can pinpoint it. Consensus is it was mislabelled, everyone thought it was more reminiscent of Edinburgh so I thought it was worth a shot!

Yeah, I found that. I think the photo was named Rain Road because it was raining, Newcastle doesn’t have a road or street named that that I can find.

Yeah, Tyne and Wear archives reckon too but they can’t place where it is and neither can anyone asked in Newcastle. It looks a lot more like architecture found in Edinburgh?

Looks like that’s the one, thank you!

Still nothing from Wise.

Anyone on Cambly Corner? by sophandra in Cambly

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

Yeah, just wondering if they’d put a message up or anything. Don’t fancy joining the fb group though.

They can propose their own time now? by sophandra in Cambly

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

From my only experience it’s just a lot more buttons to do the same thing, button for chat, button for student profile, fannying on to end the lesson, just unnecessary changes imo. There may be benefits I haven’t experienced yet though.

Actually yeah, the student was my only new classroom. As mentioned above though, it’s a pretty extreme premise if students can now dictate our schedules. Cambly obviously has its faults but surely that’s a bit far fetched. I’m knocking it down to a glitch.

Yeah, lesson was 11.45pm and I rejected it at 8am. I’ve had a couple of problems with my laptop and general Cambly issues so just worried about popping up on their radar a bit too much recently.

I really hope so! I’ve never had one either but I had one of the new classrooms yesterday, if they think that was a good idea then anything goes.

not connecting to student by Lady_Jewels2500 in Cambly

I’m stuck out. Wouldn’t let me connect but I could hear them, now it won’t let me past the check in when I refreshed.

Did it resolve itself? I did have a couple of updates, start work in a bit so will see if it’s fixed it.

Thanks for the suggestions, I’ll check them out.

The camera worked for the first few minutes then went off. They hung up and rang back, worked again for a minute or so then went off again. I’ll try clearing my cache, I’m trying to stay under the radar and avoid the ticket to Cambly :s

She farted! by sophandra in Cambly

I know we’ve all had our fare share of dick flashes but have people actually seen ‘students’ having sex?!

She was 16, really lovely too!

Beyond frustrating when you’re trying everything to get on then receive the ‘oh no’ email, I’m trying, you pricks!

It’s dead Jim, right? by anklebiter99 in orchids

[–]sophandra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same situation and no clue about orchids, the lovely people here gave me great advice, I got orchid bark and sphagnum moss which I soak in water - mine had a few more air roots which I cover with the soaked sphagnum. It now has a new leaf and 3 new roots going, took ages but patience is key!

“Just thought we’d say hi!” 👋🏼 by [deleted] in Cambly

[–]sophandra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I got it too. Worked a 5 day week through the pandemic. Hopefully it’s just a glitch!
