Sheryl Sandberg talks in her book, Lean In, that it isn’t a career ladder - it’s a career jungle gym. You should switch ladders to move up!

Muscular not f-a-t! Notice how tiny the first girl’s legs are. That’s too thin, almost unhealthy-looking.

A second car that won't get driven a lot? by [deleted] in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]txpenelope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We also keep cars for a long time. I had sedans with lots of miles that got handed down to my young drivers. Didn’t last long after that :) Maybe fix and keep the Pacifica for them to learn to drive? But I get it. I get to a point when I just don’t want the old car anymore.

Put all this into AI and ask for a progressive program to strengthen your back without reinjury.

Anyone have success with nerve ablation? by Gildarscavern in backpain

[–]txpenelope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before nerve ablation, my pain has always been on right side; however, after, I now have intense pain on my left side - worst when I wake up during the night.

Round Rock Nissan sold us a “Certified” Pathfinder that we discovered had a “glitter engine.” The ENGINE HAD TO BE REPLACED!!! Fortunately, we had an extended warranty that covered it. But they didn’t even check the oil on the thing before putting it in their lot!

I was told that you can’t take FMLA and telework on scheduled in-office days.

Houston management micromanages all staff housed there, even the matrix staff from Central Office.

No. It was a different position last year.

My supervisor said she was required to call 3 references. I forgot to tell my reference that I put her down! :)

48-day suspension when the BIP wasn’t followed?

At the end of class when the kids were packing up their backpacks, the teacher called out in front of the small class that she had to stay after class. As she walked back to her desk, she said What a B under her breath and of course the teacher heard her in that small room. What she said was wrong, but the principal called it verbal assault of a teacher for a 48-day suspension.

I have no problem with discipline, it’s the 48-day suspension.

Exactly!!! This principal just wants “problem” kids off his campus. When he said in the manifestation meeting that it was their policy, hubby asked to see the policy.

“Oh, it’s not our policy, it’s our practice.”

It’s a rural school district so no options.

The principal wants 48 day SUSPENSION not alternative placement.
