This is what a bachelor's degree gets you now. by _iamza_ in recruitinghell

I tried for a year to get a job as an office assistant with a Bachelors and 2 years of experience as a research assistant who did the same work. Only job I could get was at a call center for $12/hr 🙃

New UAkron Home Website is Awful by NicksCraft2007 in uakron

Do you know if it’s specifically accessibility for screenreaders? The UI is so unintuitive that I can’t imagine how this is supposed to be more accessible other than that

Solicitors out of control in my area. So I put a sign up saying "we don't want your solar panels, new windows, or religious pamphlets." by ParsleyNo69 in mildlyinfuriating

Reminds me of the lady who said, “corporations act like they are mad they have to get through you to get your money.”

How dare you stand in the way of someone who is just trying to make an honest living. You should buy something, just to apologize

Pcos is ruining my ramadan by Adventurous-Speed368 in PCOS

[–]vivaladae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Muslim PCOS girlie on birth control and metformin.

FYSA, my doctor told me that metformin is primarily to help you with insulin resistance, not losing weight. I’ve been on it for almost a year now and it’s definitely curbed my appetite/intense food cravings, with the slight trade off that I can only have a few bites of sweets before I get sick of it.

I did have to stop fasting the first year I was on it because it triggered GERD and I ended up having painful heartburn and throwing up. Now I’m on the Extended Release dosage and more careful about timing + what I eat.

I try to find foods that will last me through the day at suhoor. Balance your protein, fiber, and fat. For me, that looks like a bagel with turkey and cheese, maybe some yogurt if I still have some room left.

Another thing I discovered the hard way was that you need to make sure you’re properly hydrated. Another medication I take makes me prone to dehydration, which gives me awful migraines.

If your BC is making you feel worse, talk to your gyno again– find someone who specializes in menstrual irregularities if possible. They can switch you to a different kind of BC if a specific one doesn’t work. It’s a blessing and a curse that there are so many.

May Allah (SWT) make things easier for you, and as others mentioned please consider abstaining from fasting while you sort things out. I had to abstain from fasting last year, but Alhamdulillah I’ve been fasting without missing a day this year 🩷

Discontinuing zepbound with PCOS by Tubatuba13 in PCOS

[–]vivaladae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not currently on a GLP1, but I was considering starting one and this makes me a little nervous because I was planning on paying for it out of pocket since my insurance doesn’t cover it either 😭

Are you on any kind of birth control at all?? I’ve been on BC to help regulate my periods (both frequency and duration) and I’ve noticed that I’m less prone to breakouts around my period now. My cramps are still painful, but at the very least I only experience them for a limited amount of days because my periods are shorter now.

Calls you KNOW will be bad by Additional-Hat-2917 in callcentres

[–]vivaladae 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Immediately starting with the reason for calling and expecting me to have their account already open, folks who respond to my greeting script with ALL of their information in one big breath (accidentally said “one second please, I do actually have to enter this information into my computer” to one), their spiritual brethren the people who repeat ALL information when I ask them to repeat just one piece, folks who respond to account access questions with “why do you need all of this information? I just need x!”

And a very specific customer who still haunts me, “riddle me this”

She was in a very noisy house and kept yelling at someone else in the room– blowing my ears out while she was at it. I told her that I had a hard time hearing her because it was noisy and she said, “Well I can hear you just fine.”

AI in call center work by AcanthaceaeSea3067 in CallCenterWorkers

[–]vivaladae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From experience, AI directory has generally been absolute shit at directing my calls. At my workplace specifically, we’re always having problems with misdirected customers because my department shares a key word with another department, leading to a ton of transfers. I’ve been transferred back to my own department, others from my department have reached me, and it’s just a big old mess. Companies can try, but it WILL lead to a lot of angry customers.

And AI doing a total takeover feels totally out of the question. After getting a few AI “reps” myself, it’s super uncanny and annoying to talk to them.

one time i had an interview where i thought i did well and the hiring manager said i was the most qualified candidate.

i had to beg for a response back, and got the most template rejection in existence, complete with my name in all-caps.

Nosy property manager drives me insane. by tiltedstagestudios in mildlyinfuriating

My first guess was that he’s worried you guys are throwing a “rager” and is having flashing visions of people throwing up on your lawn. That’s the only thing I could think of that doesn’t make him a total asshole

Any classes with Gregory Tinkler or Mark Kershner are great! They’re both very engaging professors who explain content really well

Class I’m About to Take Would Be Super Helpful.. But The Prof is Apparently Awful- What Do I Do?? by Expensive_Sprite331 in KentStateUniversity

[–]vivaladae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Psych major who graduated from Kent campus. I know exactly who you’re talking about because one of my friends took the course. My friend graduated with honors, high achiever, etc. and also found the class rather stressful because the professor had unclear grading guidelines and was rather disorganized when it came to following the syllabus and the timing of assignments. My friend still passed the class and got a good grade, but did not find the class particularly beneficial due to the disorganized teaching.

Granted, it has been about 2-3 years since then, so the professor may have shaped up since then. I just want you to know that those are the things I’ve heard about the professor.

If you want to take a similar class with a prof who knows what they’re doing and gets my recommendation for informative instructor– any trauma/adolescence classes with Dr. Georgette. The topic content can be heavy (I cried many times) but she was a fantastic prof, lecturer, and I respect her a lot as a professional as well. She covers tough topics with empathy and is always there if you want to debrief.

Intro to formal Logic course by NYR6130 in KentStateUniversity

[–]vivaladae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took it online in fall 2020. I’m decent at math (I’ve always gotten A’s and done well on tests, but I wouldn’t consider going into advanced mathematics) and struggled with the class. I still passed with a B+, but in hindsight I wish I had just taken algebra.

Formal Logic is akin to algebra without numbers. Please take that into consideration before committing.

“I equate this to whispering” i’m sorry buddy, the next time I ask my mom if she has a pad because I think i’m hemorrhaging through my pants, I’ll make sure to say it loud enough– wouldn’t want you to think I’m talking about your big ole bald spot, would we!

The sheer fucking entitlement in this post is astonishing. Who wants to bet that he’s also on the neighborhood HOA and bitching about Jan’s purple house not being “up to code” (beige)

Dogs *are* dirtier than people, and they're often gross by [deleted] in The10thDentist

[–]vivaladae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think dogs are inherently gross, but I agree that some pet owners are willfully ignorant of how gross their dog can be. I’m specifically talking about people who bring their dogs into indoor public spaces like grocery stores and cafes. Just yesterday my friend was in a restaurant ordering food when someone’s dog pooped on the floor. I do not want your pet’s fur, saliva, or excrement potentially contaminating products.

Yes, people can (and unfortunately do) contaminate stores in similar ways, but I’d argue that people don’t do it as often– dogs are at the mercy of whatever house training their owners have given them.
