There needs to be more than just an accusation. We do all faculty hiring by committee first review and choosing the candidates to present to the faculty and it then requires full faculty voting to pick one. It is galling to be accused of such, but it often does not come to much.

What a poetic final couplet.

If it ever goes to court, and the candidate wins, it is most likely to be a cash settlement.

And I'm asking her to still leave me a voicemail, tell me the gender of her baby and/or what color to make the blanket, and what day I can expect to hear from her again. I'm so sad and depressed. Six months without her. I now have to worry about her as well for 6 months. I don't want anything bad happening to her or her baby!

Any and all support welcomed!

Hugs, Scarlet, I'm so sorry. Would it be possible to have a phone session with her? I know it wouldn't be the same, but it would still be something. And is it possible to see the other T sooner?

I don't think it's possible for a phone session. I don't think it will be helpful either. I don't want to get upset with her and add any stress. It's better that I vent here or to L. I have called and emailed L asking her for a session this week. Sun and Mon are her weekends, so I might not hear back from her until Tues.

They need to work on AI you can have a good argument or debate with.

I just realized this is dejavu to me. When ex-T went on a Christmas vacation, she canceled my last session with her due to a family emergency. Ex-Pdoc couldn't see me the week before her maternity leave. And now this.

I've only shed a few tears, but I'm bawling inside. I just don't feel comfortable crying around my H and dad. They'll just want to fix things. I think it's hard too because I am hurt that this happened, but feel really bad for T. It's dialectical.

Call the Midwife!

i've always wanted to say that!

I understand the complicated feelings of being upset with her but also feeling bad for her. It's kind of like when I found out about ex-MC's wife being sick (and eventually dying). I felt bad for him and felt almost guilty for being upset with him when he would cancel at the last minute. But the cancellations were still really difficult. Please talk all you want on here--we get it.

Hope y'all are having reasonably nice days as well

Awww! I'm so glad that I corrupted you! I like Zelda a lot too.

I downloaded Stardew a couple of months ago and I cannot figure out what I am supposed to be doing or what the point of it is at all.

So it’s just like therapy?

stopdog · Mar 31, 2019 at 07:48 PM

Yes - but a whole lot cheaper.

There kind of isn't a point. You putter around, make friends, grow things, mine things. You can collect things to restore the community center. You can get married and have babies that sometimes get glitchy and stuck in the walls. It's just like life.

Unfortunately we played Stardew a lot when I had morning (all-day) sickness, so now I can't hear the music without feeling nauseated. It's a shame because I used to really like the game and the music.

I like Stardew Valley.

Just splashed an entire bottle of febreeze in my face and now I have the hiccups... going to be a fabulous evening.

Hi couchies.

Mar 31, 2019 at 09:48 PM

unexpected outcome. Today my T became my ex T just like that. I feel it was arash decision but it felt like a relief at the time. $120 more a fortnight for me.

Mar 31, 2019 at 09:49 PM

I am crying now. it feels like a mistake.

I couldn't figure out the rules or how to do anything. At one point I was wandering around someone's house in a creepy sort of way and couldn't go anywhere else.

And getting babies stuck in walls is not as much a part of life as it is a cry for help or how to get a neighbor to a call dfs on you.
