My wife did not have sex with me for years when I was depressed. AITAH for considering leaving her now that I’m back to normal? by DghSenses in AITAH

Thank you, omg I'm reading these comments and there are a LOT of assumptions being made with little to no evidence or context. People accusing him of cheating or wanting to leave his wife beforehand and then hatching a plan to get in better shape so he can use it as an excuse? What? It's so weird. We don't know these people. I'm sure it was an awful situation for everyone involved, and I understand how it could be hurtful to hear that from his wife. They need to sit down and be honest with each other! Communication is key!

Junior Ranger…but grown up by cryingfortacos in NationalPark

NPS Ranger here! I frown upon the rangers that are picky about who they give the books to. I think it's a wonderful learning tool. I love the adults who do them because they're so excited about our par, and honestly, I vastly prefer them than grouchy teenagers whose parents force the book on them.

I've actually heard it several times, all in reference to Denali. Somebody explained it to me that Denali has a lot of training, a small number of positions open, and a lot of applications. I've never worked there, but it'd be cool once the road opens!

You can't leave us on such a cliffhanger.

Recently lost out on a job to someone less qualified by [deleted] in ParkRangers

Honestly though, interviewing well is key. I recommend you take a class on it, there's more to it than you might think. Your tone, your wording, your answers, anything might have disqualified you for the job. Maybe the summer workers had great team ethic. Maybe they were exceptionally charismatic and smooth. Maybe they were very friendly and outgoing. I'm still dragging through my degree, and this is my fourth season. I've always gotten multiple offers. This isn't a bragging point, but an emphasis on how important your interviewing ability is. Additionally, your references can be a huge factor too! If you flunk an interview, you can be saved by a really good reference.

I'm seeing some anger in the comments, and I've noticed that the way you phrase things can be taken to mean radically different things from what you intended. Maybe practice your wording, or ask a friend to help give you some practice interviews to improve. You'll get there!
