Job 20 year anniversary quotes

So my university, University of the Cumberlands, did not have a Reddit…
So I made one!
Turns out, getting people to join your subreddit is pretty hard. Especially when it’s about a university in the south xD
BUT! I think there is many valid reasons why you should consider joining my new subreddit ucumberlands
(I just want to preface, I am not affiliated with Cumberlands outside of being a newly admitted student. This is not “marketing”. I would just like people to join my new school subreddit hehe)

1. IF you’re a prospective graduate student, ucumberlands can give you news, updates, and info about the University of the Cumberlands various grad programs like Counseling, Nursing, Business, Criminal Justice, and more!
   
2. IF you are looking for online masters programs (that are accredited and worth something more than just a ‘degree mill’!!), University of the Cumberlands is a “brick and mortar” school that offers online masters, meaning that NOWHERE on your degree will it say “online”. In fact, employers will see your degree as the same value as any other in-person degree! Meaning more job opportunities, licensing, and value!
   
3. To add to point #2, University of the Cumberlands is a nationally ranked university and the #1 university in Kentucky! Yes, even more than University of Kentucky! A degree from University of the Cumberlands is not only respected, but distinguished!
   
4. The University of the Cumberlands is one of the oldest universities in the United States, dating back to its origin of 1888!
   
5. If you like sports, University of the Cumberlands has some amazing collegiate sports teams! The university has boasted over 5 OLYMPIC wrestlers!! (Whaaat?!) and their baseball team is going to the NAIA College World Series this year after an impressive 51-6 record!
   
6. University of the Cumberlands is also extremely affordable as both an undergrad and graduate school! So, if you’re in high school or community college and looking for a top, nationally ranked program, consider Cumberlands!
   
7. The final reason I’d like to invite you to join ucumberlands is because it would mean a lot to me 🥺 yes, I am pulling that card. We have 6 members. Every time I see it go up, my heart flutters. I am being serious, my life is that sad (okay maybe not sad, but it just brings me join seeing the subreddit I created for my new university grow little by little)
   

Thanks for taking the time to read the reasons why I think you should join ucumberlands. We also have user flairs, so that’s cool :)

I know I shouldn't care about other people's opinions but they still get to me. My "special friend" (M33) and I F(24) are meeting this summer. He is from Europe and I am from America. I'm really excited and I've waited a year and half until I felt comfortable to do it. He's reassured and checked off all my boxes. I know I'm going to get home safe and I don't feel in danger at all. However, one thing that gets to me is the cost and breakdown of everything. I have a well paying job and I knew I was able to afford the trip and truly wanted to go. It was agreed that I would pay for my own flight, which I'm fine with and is totally fair. Months prior as well, I mentioned I would pay for the accommodation because I'd like my name being on the registration and from our previous conversations I assumed that his pockets weren't "fat" and it would just be easier for me to pay. I also feel it's an added layer of protection and a notifier that I am, where I say I am, during my trip. My "special friend" asked me before if we were still in agreement and if I felt comfortable with the payment of things, and I said yes, but, because it truly does make me feel better paying for my own stuff and we don't have to worry about currency exchanges or anything.
It just gets to me when I tell others about my trip and how we chose to split things. I know they are concerned and they want me to remember that "I am the prize". But realistically, I work in sales and my " special friend" is a teacher so I'm aware that those salaries don't align. He's paying for all my food and even taking me out to dinner one night during the week I'm staying, and even though I know it won't acquate to what I spent I feel okay. It's our first time meeting and I'm not really sure what the future will bring for us. I do know that I want to see him as much as he wants to see me, and I really have wanted to visit the destination we're going to. I want to have a vacation this year and an overall good time and I'm here for the adventure of it all. In short, I'm just venting because when others figure out you are in a ldr especially with a man and he doesn't make the most money (not a bum) it's hard as a woman to get support from peers in pursuing the relationship. :(

I have been married for over 25 years. It hasn’t always been easy. In fact it was hard and traumatic. I have devoted my life to trying to be stable and hold it together. Coming from a bad childhood and lack of family stability. I have alway wanted a family that is close. I am finally doing therapy to understand myself. And according to the therapist I need to start putting myself and wants first. And I am trying to figure out what that is.
My husband had always had issues with mood and anger. And my son is the same. My daughter has with therapy became stronger and is able to express herself.
My husband finally started therapy and he confirmed that he has OCD on top of ADD. It has never been easy to have a conversation with him because he gets frustrated and shuts down. We live apart due to his job. But in recent conversations he has told me that he likes being alone and he doesn’t miss me or the kids. He wouldn’t want any thing bad happening to us or would probably be upset if something did. But he doesn’t know if he got married because that what everyone else did or had kids because of the same.
Maybe I have been lied to all these years or like he said he is going through a midlife crisis. But it hurts. I had to keep my emotions under control to keep the peace. And I thought if he got therapy that he would see and care. But it seems like the opposite happened. I am upset that I have spent all my life striving for a family and I feel lost.
I just needed to say it out loud. I have limited friendships because I always put my family first. And I couldn’t talk about my issues since I didn’t want anyone seeing me or my family in a negative light

My sister and I, both Dramione readers, have challenged each other to write a fic before the end of the year. Neither of us are creative writers 😬… My job sees me write investigative reports all day, and my sister is a scientific writer, so this is out of our usual wheelhouse.
My question to everyone is what are your pet peeves/hates, what do you look folove, in a story? This can be big or small, general themes or even single words that turn you off, side pairing you love, plot lines that are overdone etc. Before we get started any and all thought are appreciated, so let us know!
For example:
Hate:

• If I read “You’ll be the death of me” or “He/she released a breath they didn’t know they were holding” one more time I’ll pull my hair out.
  
• Ridiculous OOC reactions
  
• Exaggerated/too drawn out miscommunication.
  
• Slow burn that is practically backwards
  

Love:

• Adults being adults reasonable dialogue and behaviour in post war fics,
  
• Teens not acting like accomplished sex-gods in hogwarts fics 🙄.
  

Hi everyone! So I (21m) am in a ldr with my girlfriend (23f) for just over 2 years now. We are both med students and she is in her intern year and I'm in my 3rd year. Our communication has always been great and we have regular date nights, sending presents and letter to each other and have agreed to meet at minimum 3 times a year for no less than 2 weeks.
But recently she has been coming back from work, face timing me and then ending the call early saying that she's overstimulated from work and she needs some alone time. I understand exactly how she feels and realise how draining the hospital can be, especially after an ER shift.
Where my worry lies is that she has begun to go out partying more often and seems to be fine, despite coming back from an overnight shift or long hours. Neither of us enjoy clubbing so we always prefer to do house parties when we get the chance. My issue is that on the days that she feels fine after work, she prefers to go out to her best friends house and the days she feels bad she calls me for 5 minutes and then goes to sleep. Our calling has dropped from around 5-6 hours a week to maybe 20 minutes most. She is coming to visit me in July and she says she's ecstatic on staying at my house and just enjoying us time, but her actions dont reflect that at all. I feel she has begun to care less about us just talking and on some days I won't get a text from her at all despite it being her day off and me still being able to find time on shift to text.
This is my first relationship and I'm scared that these are signs it's coming to an end, could I have people's opinions on this please? Thank you all!

I've never been good at school, and since elementary school my teachers have been having a hard time trying to teach me stuff and getting me to remember it. I'm terrible at basically every subject, especially math. I remember there was so many times my teachers had to talk to my parents about me not being able to add or subtract as fast as the other kids, and from 1st-5th grade i basically spent all of my time after school sitting at the table with my parents yelling at me trying to get me to understand my homework but for some reason i was just too dumb to understand simple math.
With stuff like reading and writing, I was pretty average up until sixth grade, now I have to reread things a couple of times to fully process it because it feels like I'm just looking at the words and writing things like essays is very difficult for me because I will get bored or find it too hard and get distracted.
I graduated high school a year late because I failed every single class sophomore year, passed 2/6 classes junior year, and I spent my senior trying to make up the classes I failed but couldn't complete them all on time because I found the work really difficult. Before the start of my senior year, I was sent to an alternative school that was supposed to make things easier for me but I never made any progress, so I got put in independent study as a second time senior. In independent study, you don't actually have a teacher so you have to teach yourself, I got very lazy and bored of having to do my classes so I ended up just cheating which is the only reason I didn't become a third year senior.
I've also never had any interests or hobbies. As a kid I would just play with my dolls when I had time during school breaks or the weekend, but I was never in any clubs. I have no hobbies because honestly I don't like anything, and I never really have. I secretly don't want to do anything with my life and would rather spend it rotting away in bed and on my phone, but I know that's just because I'm incredibly lazy and unmotivated.
I've had tutors, I've been put in support classes, and I've made no progress. I have no idea what I want to do with my life, or what career I could tolerate having. Most of my friends are in college and even if they've changed their majors they at least have had some idea from the start what they want to do, or they're not as dumb as me. Also, this isn't an insecurity thing where I just think I'm dumb, I literally am. Most people think I'm so dumb that I lack common sense and can't do things that anyone with a brain could do, like being able to order my own food or driving a car.
I don't think it would be a good idea to take a gap year because I'm already turning 19, and don't want to be a 20 year old freshman. I'm also incredibly embarrassed about this because my friends don't really understand how I could possibly not like anything or have literally no idea what I want to do with my life and everyone just thinks I'm lazy (which I am but I really don't want to be). I have no idea what to do because I don't want to waste my parent's money and end up dropping out because I'll be too stupid for the work, but they're making me go. My parents are acting as if this is an easy decision to make and keep saying I'm the only girl in the world who doesn't know what she wants to do.
tl;dr
never been good at school, never had any hobbies, i don't like anything, and i'm very dumb. i need to go to college, but i'm not sure what i should go for and i'm afraid of dropping out and wasting my parent's money.

Hololive Member	Cause of Death	Additional Notes

​

this is my yearly ptsd anniversary of the time i OD’d on purpose, went into a coma for a week and spent 2 months in psych.
the problem is, my insurance was dumb and i missed 2 doses of my lamictal. it seems to have kickstarted trauma week early and every piece of media i try to consume is just making me incredibly sad.
my biggest trigger is parents reacting to their children dying. no matter the circumstance or age. i cant do it.
im just so fragile and extra sensitive from my shitty insurance and having withdrawal happen not to far from trauma week and everything is a lot right now.
so what are some lighthearted favorites. no death. no attempted death.

I switched majors twice, so I'm about 3-4 years older than most of the people in my class. I love the way my body looks, small boobs and all! It's just really hard to not compare my breast size to these younger girls when it's so obvious :( it makes me feel so weird and out of place even. Sometimes I can't help but wonder why they're more "blessed" than I am and I've already gone through second puberty (I know it's "not real," but if you're over 20, you know what I mean) but my breasts are still smaller than these girls'. I'm really not one to compare myself to other people, but it's really just so obvious and it makes me feel so weird. It's not like there's anything I could do about it, and I have love for my younger classmates and they have so much respect for me, calling me their big sister and all. I just can't help but feel insecure sometimes, and I hate feeling like this. It's not who I am, but... :(

We own our house and the neighbor across the street had been living in their rental for about 10 years. She had around 10+ cats that primarily lived outdoors; 1 or 2, she kept inside. None of them were fixed, so they’d have kittens over and over. All of the other neighbors would offer to pay to have her cats fixed so that they’d quit populating and she’d turn down the offer. One of them had a missing eye; none of them ever had vet care and they all looked pretty sickly. I do want to say I felt bad for the cats; I don’t really like cats, but I still felt for them. One neighbor took the cat who was missing an eye to the vet for surgery. Cat lady got upset about it because he didn’t tell her he was doing it. Animal control wouldn’t do anything about the issue except offer me cat traps that I’d have to pay $20 per day for. Who can afford that? Fast forward, cat lady’s landlord told her she had 60 days to move out because they’re selling the house. She began packing and moving her stuff. She threw out a mattress and sofa next to the road. 4 days after those items had been sitting by the road, my yard became INFESTED with fleas. You can’t even walk to the car without seeing them all over your legs. I asked my other neighbor if he’s having an issue with fleas in his yard too and he said he is. I had thought cat lady took her cats with her; as I hadn’t seen the cats since she left last weekend. Well, today, I see all of her cats sleeping on the stairs of the house she moved out of. This pisses me off so bad; that she’d leave all of these cats here with no one to feed them. I highly doubt animal control will take them. I don’t really know what to do about any of this. I’m having pest control come and spray my yard for fleas. I may ask neighbors if we can band together and rent the cat traps to surrender the cats to animal control, since that’s the only way they’ll take them. I can’t afford $150+ worth of cat traps on my own, but maybe some of the neighbors will take on this task with me.

I’m a 20 year old white girl who has been working 6 days a week for the pst few weeks. I work at a a plant nursery with some greenhouses. All day I’m in and out of them, but mostly outdoors. I’ve been crazy stressed and busy because of mothers day and personal stuff. Long story short, I forgot to put on sunscreen for basically two weeks straight..
I honestly don’t really have a skin routine… I try to remember sunscreen when I go to work because I know I’ll be outside pretty much all day, but otherwise I really only wash my face in the shower.
Basically, I forgot to wear sunscreen for two weeks at work where I’m very much outside from 8-5. I’m now pretty anxious that I’m going to develop skin cancer of sorts because of it…
If it helps at all, I also suffer from diagnosed anxiety.. so I’m really sorry if this is stupid to ask or worry about… i just want some sort of confirmation from others I guess lol.
TLDR I work outside from 8-5. I forgot sunscreen for two weeks working 6/7 days a week. Am I okay or should I be really concerned about potential skin cancer issues…

GPA: 3.38 uw/3.51 weighted as of trimester 2 junior year report card. it's low because i'm horrible at english class, and i wasn't planning on going to college in freshman or sophomore year
SAT: 1380, but it might improve since i'm retaking it june 1st
i'm currently taking ap csp, and i'm planning on taking ap csa, ap calc ab, and ap physic 1 next year
ECs: no school clubs/sports, but my hobbies include trying to teach myself to play piano, guitar, and bass, doing music production, and coding. i'm planning on getting a job over the summer, but idk what it'll be
i also live in massachusetts if that changes anything

4 days ago, my partner woke me up at 530 am. He said he wasn’t feeling well, that he couldn’t feel his right hand.
I assumed he was having a panic attack. He was talking to me. He was squeezing my hand. He was breathing.
Out of nowhere his muscles seized up, his eyes rolled back, and he started making the most horrifying guttural moans.
I called 911, thinking they’d be there shortly and maybe I’d have a partner that I’d have to later take care of.
While I was putting the call on speaker, he just stopped. Stopped everything. Stopped making noise. Stopped breathing. Stopped tensing his muscles.
I attempted chest compressions for around 5 minutes until help arrived. I heard slight gasps, and had hope, but I now understand that was because I was the once forcing his lungs to move.
He was pronounced shortly after help arrived.
I can’t stop seeing it. No matter what I do. I can’t stop hearing each noise. I can’t stop hearing my own voice count to 5 for compressions. I can’t stop hearing how scared he was when he asked for help.
I can’t stop thinking that I didn’t act fast enough, or didn’t do the compressions properly, or that I should’ve tried harder to move him from the bed to the floor.
No matter what I do. I feel like I’m in a walking nightmare.
We just had our 10 year anniversary 3 weeks ago. We just had our 5 year anniversary of home ownership last week.
He was 33.
What do I even do?

I wanted to check in as an update. I last did an update in October about 45 days in to a break from alcohol. Before that, I used Naltrexone for about 18 months. I started at 25mg for a week, then went to 50mg for about a year and then up to 100mg for six months.
Prior to taking Naltrexone, I was losing control of my drinking but I wasn't at a rock bottom, if that makes sense. About 25-40 drinks a week. I'm 34, a white collar professional with a fairly high profile job, and a Dad to a young kid. I didn't want to be absorbed by drinking, but I akso didn't want to live my life in AA where one drink could send me in to a spiral.
Long-story short, Naltrexone worked for me but it wasn't a miracle drug. I still drank every night, but after about a year 5-7 drinks slowly turned in to 4-6 which turned in to 3-4 once I was up to 100mg a day. It was still too much to be healthy.
I've got an international vacation/wedding this week, which is the first time I've ever been abroad. Back in September, my wife and I both realized we couldn't comfortably afford to go, but I pointed out how much we were spending on alcohol ($500+ a month). I said if we didn't drink for 9 months, we could use that money for the trip.
Well, we've made it. We've enjoyed sobriety. I've learned to like NA beers and my wife tolerates NA wine (which just isn't as far along as the NA beers). We saved enough to go and we feel great. I'm down 20 pounds and am the leanest I've been since high school, and feel much better than I had.
I'm admittedly nervous to drink again, and to start Naltrexone again. We're going to take it carefully on the trip, and immediately force ourselves a two week break when the trip ends. I'm going to start at 25mg again because when I first started, the first week was pretty rough.
We also plan to approach drinking again carefully, but we've said all these things before. My wife, who did not tolerate Nal but is less of a problem drinker than I, is more apprehensive and is tempted to make this permanent. I'm looking forward to having a drink here and then, but time will tell if the medication plus mindfulness can help me become an uninterested drinker.

Hi, just started a summer job and was given this form by the employers to use direct deposit. Here is the exact wording:
"I authorize ____ to deposit my pay automatically to the accounts indicated below and, if necessary, to adjust or reverse a deposit any payroll entry made to my account in error. This authorization will remain in effect until I cancel it in writing and in such time as to afford ______ a reasonable opportunity to act on it."
The wording of it is kinda weird, and I just wanna make sure I don't agree to anything harmful. Basically, I just want to make sure that signing this doesn't give my employer any rights to take out any money from my account that isn't associated with a paycheck correction or reversion. Also I'm not sure if all other employees had to do this since my friend works there and wasnt sure if he had to sign this or not (he joined 2 years prior). Thanks so much!

About to get fired from my sales job, but do not want to go back into sales
Last week, my boss sat me down and told me I’ve got a month to turn things around. Not because I’m not hitting quota, but because my sales style doesn’t fit the company. I’ve been in sales for 6+ years now, and I’m about done trying to convince people to buy products/services/platforms.
With that said, I could use guidance on what other careers people in sales have transitioned into. I have a physical therapy based bachelors degree, and the last 4+ years of my sales career have been in ads sales getting advertisers to spend marketing budgets with the companies I have worked at. I am great with people, cross collaboration between teams, even client-facing and internal solving problem. I wouldn’t mind supporting sales, or working on projects internally. But I just don’t know what kind of careers are available for someone with a sales background and no relevant degree to pivot to.
I don’t mind making less money for less client facing stress.

Are there brokers who go to auto auctions and bid for people. I hear people saying they will do this . I m interested in doing it to see how it all works . I d love to just go and see it done. I m thinking of buying something used for one of my kids now but I don’t think I’d save a lot more then if I went to a dealer who had a car on lot for a while and negotiated well that plus all prep Is done I can also take to a mechanic i m friends with and we evaluate it . No rush not hecticness of auction . Am I wrong w this . I just don’t see saving. 1000s maybe 500 -1000 but no prep and no evaluation done by trusted pro.
Am I wrong on this.
I buy cars as they come up . Old guy dies I try and buy the car Uncle s aunts friends uncles and aunts lol I’m there w cash and I usually know the family so I do all paperwork and make it easy and I pay a bit above trade in value but below private seller I have people I sell to regularly and it’s nice little side gig I do ten a year wife does ten also “ so I’m at 20,1-2 a month . I don’t think I’d expand but i d like to see how it works so I thought maybe buy one car w a broker and use it to check it all out .
Anyone know if these brokers advertise I can’t find anyone like the broker people say they hire to take them to auctions I’m thinking it’s BS or a old time practice
