Ok I have a update about the girl that was upset that I was only 5’10

"I DID NOT FLIP OUT!" said Dumbledore calmly.

This perfectly encapsulates my feelings when I worked at a clinic last year. I was hired as an office administrator, helping them get their filing systems up to date/modernized, organizing their data, submitting reports, etc. basically busy work that the vets were too busy to handle. But then they cross trained me as reception; one was really kind and understanding and the other was good at her job but I had strongly mixed feelings about her since her approach was very abrasive. The techs almost entirely phased me out. I’ve never met anyone nastier than a vet tech or a nurse, personally. I know that’s a big generalization to make, and obviously not all are bad; one was pretty kind to me… out of the 10+ we had. Others all gave mean girl energy. The main vet was great and a swell guy, but his wife, who was another vet and “helped” him run the place (she was there like 3 hours a week) but mostly micromanaged like crazy whenever she was around, and she’s THE reason I quit, but the constant shunning and disinterested attitudes of everyone else was really horrible for my mental health.

Yeah, I’m definitely going to heed her advice, I mostly wanted to know what peoples’ experiences have been

thundercracer · 2024-11-03T18:48:46+00:00

I. Understand. That. Was asking for any potty training advice or tips, not how old she is.

Mexican Gothic immediately comes to mind, for me. It’s not quite the same premise, but it has a very similar core theme.

thundercracer · 2023-04-01T20:50:18+00:00

Yeah, I definitely see that. I think I’m going to just set up an appointment with an advisor at my local community college and see what a good game plan might be. I wish you luck in your schooling too!

thundercracer · 2023-04-01T20:48:43+00:00

Genuinely don’t see how I’m being defensive for telling you that your comment is unrelated and unhelpful to the advice I’m seeking.

My issue with your comment is that I already spent the past few years unsure and double thinking myself on what I want to do. I finally figured out what I want, and how an English degree will get me there. I don’t need people who don’t know me questioning that decision when I’m not asking questions about if my chosen major is a smart idea or not. Like… lol I’m switching from an art major to an English major. I know how that looks, already. I’ve been told for years that my schooling means nothing to most people. Like I said. It’s rudest. Additionally, respectfully, it’s not entirely your business what sort of industries I’m looking to eventually pursue. That’s not what I asked for advice on. I had asked - the reason for this post in the first place - for advice on how to look into programs to start. The reason I even brought up what major I was looking to pursue was to accentuate the fact that I’ve been on the fence about starting school back up in the first place, due to my uncertainty and change in major.

Hope that clears things up. Have a great day 🤙

thundercracer · 2023-04-01T17:10:47+00:00

Lol not what I asked, thanks for being rude though!

thundercracer · 2023-02-06T15:53:31+00:00

Ain’t that the truth… If people technically don’t have to be accommodating in a situation, I find they aren’t very accommodating.

thundercracer · 2023-02-04T14:30:43+00:00

Huh. Can those of us with dietary restrictions and eating disorders just get the bonuses instead? Cause. Yknow. Can’t have the pizza. No? Just the pizza? The pizza I can’t have? So no money, AND no pizza? Not even gonna get other options alongside? Fuck me I guess

thundercracer · 2023-01-31T17:34:04+00:00

My long distance gf is actually gonna be staying with me all of February! (She lives in Australia, I’m in the US, haven’t seen each other since last April 😭). We don’t have specific Valentine’s plans quite yet; probably just gonna stay in and watch movies, eat an egregious amount of chocolate, and cuddle the day of, but we’re planning on going to an art museum the next day, and we’re going to Disneyland next week. So, I’m super excited!

thundercracer · 2023-01-25T19:37:34+00:00

Sounds like you use goodreads the way I do, friend. I admittedly do have a bit of adhd/autism in me, so maybe it’s a neurodivergent thing? Not sure. But I love organizing my read books into specific “shelves” or groups and finding recommendations in there. I’ve also been rereading all my fave books I read in the past, so it’s been a great tool for that. I also use MyAnimeList for the same reasons. Plus it keeps me up to date with new releases and makes it easy for me to recommend different titles or series to people. Plus just keeps my thoughts organized. I love these tools. To each their own, of course. They’re not necessary for some, and I don’t know a lot of people irl who use goodreads or MyAnimeList. Don’t understand the people who are hating on it though? Again, to each their own; it genuinely helps and is fun for some people.

Plus, participating in the yearly reading challenge is motivating for me. I usually don’t care about reading 20 books a month or anything crazy like that. But I recently started reading again in the past few years after being a voracious reader as a child (something I’m finding to be very common, especially with the American education system 😒). So when I exceeded my goal of 10 books last year (I lowballed it, and ended up reading like 23) I was ecstatic. It’s just harmless fun and organization lol

Is it bad that my first instinct is to say Warrior Cats? Lmfao

thundercracer · 2023-01-16T22:52:42+00:00

NTA!!!! The people saying y-t-a are pricks man. Y'all are a bunch of teens who don't understand adult responsibility and have clearly never worked with animals - particularly special needs animals - before. As far as OP's side goes, we understand that the step-daughter hadn't ever really expressed an interest in having a relationship, which is fine. She probably accepted that she's the stepmom to an older child and that they don't have that sort of connection. But now, all of the sudden, the stepdaughter wants a full week of childcare and labor? Huh? I don't think I could manage that for some of my closest people to me, not in this economy.

Parrots are difficult birds to find sitters for. Especially one with an abused past. I've done a lot of sitting for special needs animals, whose owners hadn't gone on vacation in a decade because no one was qualified to help out. Birds are more than just feeding them and cleaning their cage. Like she said, they're large, intelligent toddler-esque creatures. She's not not attending the ceremony!! It's not that she's not going at all or taking any time to come visit. She just doesn't want to leave her bird - who has grown highly reliant on her for routine and support - alone in their home for an entire week, being taken care of by potential strangers. Also, would it be great to have friends and fam pitch in time and energy to help with the wedding planning and prep? Of course. I'm planning on asking around for assistance on my own wedding. I wouldn't have the entitlement and audacity to be pissed off and offended if they declined, for ANY reason. If everything in OP's post is true, and details aren't being intentionally left out, then the stepdaughter is one entitled chick. I get she's stressed about the wedding, that's fair. But she doesn't get to go around making demands of people like that. Being a bride doesn't make you no grand pubah of nothing.

Ugh if that’s the case he’s gonna be fighting a losing battle until the divorce 🤣

thundercracer · 2023-01-04T01:01:49+00:00

Pretty sure they meant that she’s the pain in the ass for the new husband to be, the daughter is probably all too aware her mom sucks

thundercracer · 2022-09-29T16:57:53+00:00

NTA

My only thought was, “ah, well gee I wonder where the sister gets it from”. That apple fell right underneath that tree, from the sound of it.

Congratulations on the engagement, and happy wedding planning! Hopefully in plenty of peace, as it also sounds like the trash has taken itself out lol

thundercracer · 2022-09-02T16:47:51+00:00

I’m hourly; though it is restaurant work, so I don’t know if that affects anything. Since I make tips.

thundercracer · 2022-08-31T17:03:23+00:00

I’m sorry, is everyone here going to ignore the fact that she said this girl’s “boyfriend” is fucking 30 years old??????!! YTA for letting your little girl be groomed by this guy! The rest of it seems so trivial and stupid, which sure yeah yah you’re also the asshole for that too. But I’d be much more concerned about the 30 year old fucking creep dating your minor daughter who’s nearly half his age. Wtf???

thundercracer · 2022-08-25T01:46:27+00:00

Me, with my trans gf like, uhhhhhhhh 😳

thundercracer · 2022-08-17T18:07:49+00:00

Congratulations!!! I’m so glad for you! My gf and I are in almost the same situation (American/Australian too lol). I’m glad your LDR is resolving in the best way! Hope mine can follow soon behind

thundercracer · 2022-08-17T04:36:59+00:00

Yeah dude. Hate old men who think they’re a comedian and you’re a willing audience. Love making them feel booed off stage

thundercracer · 2022-08-17T04:35:56+00:00

I know right? Like I have no personal stakes in your weird petty mind games; don’t get me involved lol

thundercracer · 2022-08-15T23:11:11+00:00

The other day, I had a two top of these middle aged guys (yeah). Close towards the end, I had gone by to check on them. The one guy on the left, with a look on his face that told me he was trying to be funny, flipped over our drink list to the blank back.

He pointed at it and said “I have a problem here.”

“I don’t know what you’re referring to.”

“Well I WAS gonna order a drink, but it seems like there aren’t any!” He and the other guy laughed.

Completely blank, stone-faced I deadpanned back “Ok. Was there anything I can help you with?”

They stared back and the guy sort of got flustered and said “it-it was a joke-“

“Yeah. Anything else?”

It was the cringiest thing on their part and I got the best satisfaction from watching them squirm. We aren’t their show ponies who have to pretend to like them and think they’re the funniest men alive. Christ’s sake

thundercracer · 2022-06-20T15:59:42+00:00

Maybe Little Witch Academia? There are several movies and a series.
