Hey fam, first one is a painting I made a few years ago. My dad said it looks like a Catholic Church 😂. Second thing is from vernesage (couldn’t haggle like my mom does) and last one is not Armenian but she gets an honorable mention ❣️. My really good friend who is Persian gave me this earring. Apparently it’s a fashion trend to wear just one earring!
What cool Armenian stuff do you guys have?
What do you like so far about this subreddit? What can we change and improve? We want to hear from you!
There are no right or wrong answers.
Why are so many employees nosy? I just switched departments and people I have never even spoken a word to will come up to me and ask why I switched. Some of them even complain that I switched from a role they wish they had to an undesirable one. One lady said I’m losing money.
But I chose peace.
Edit: pahahahah karens downvoting me proving my point. have a field day with the downvote button
I’ve been pretty worried because it seems like they’re trying to take away birth control here in the states or at least starting the process. I was not able to hold down a job or finish school because of my periods. I feel like I can function now, are they going to take it away?
I’ve decided I’m going with a masters in social work so I can be a practicing clinician and one day become licensed. I originally wanted to do a PhD in counseling because I really enjoy community intervention. I did two years of research. I got into a hearing lab and I know it’s not psychology related but I had a really good relationship with the PI and the cohort and that mattered more. The PI would listen to me, meet with me monthly and would give me projects relating to psychology, and cognitive tasks because it was the closest thing he could give me.
The psych labs at my university were really good but I chose to stay at that one. Then I did a 3 month travel gig where I did assessments at different elementary schools for literacy. I did this opportunity because it was paying me well and I got to do some things relating to psych in it as well.
Then I graduated and I have applied to so many places but I haven’t found a job. USA jobs and NIH are just broken, I applied last year. Based off of my experience and what’s happening currently I’m just going to go for a masters. Anyone else in this weird situation? Any advice?
Edit: I also changed my plans because of the economy. I was going to take 1-2 years off. But now I feel like I’m going nowhere. I’d rather do my masters and at least start. I thought taking a gap year was right for me but I think I’m wrong.
This guy is next to full stop. I didn’t have napkins or a glove otherwise I would’ve saved him.
Our friend from Sweden was visiting us, and he has this jacket my husband loved it. Does anyone know where I can find this brand? I tried searching for it but I couldn’t find it.
I would like to buy it if it’s possible online.
Thank you!
I don’t know why but I’ve never been able to enjoy life like the other people in my life. My parents issues has always been in the forefront of my life. My parents would always argue in front of me. I’m 23 years old and I got married to someone who I love and is a great person, but is much older than me because my parents are too broke to have me on their health insurance. My mom would always encourage me to go after people older than me so I wouldn’t end up poor, she would always say.
On the outside I’m always smiling, and a happy person. But deep down inside I have so much guilt and sadness. I’m in the middle of going to grad school so I can finally make enough money to support my parents. Even through all the shit they have said to me and done, I still love them.
When I call my parents it’s never a positive conversation. My dad has drinking issues and he’s always trying to stop. My parents made some really bad financial decisions. I’m helping them out but I feel like I should stop because it’s fueling their bad decision making. Every month that goes by it doesn’t change.
And right now it’s the worst time, the economy is trash. My parents used to have jobs that paid them really well. Now those same jobs pay them a lot less. My partner makes decent money and I’m still a student so I work part time.
I don’t mind constructive feedback and any hope.
Edit: I just realized this subreddit is mostly memes.
Just an update on the MIL birthday trip from yesterday’s post. My husband and I spoke and we decided we are going to drop them off at their destination. Then we are going to take our vacation time to go to a resort just us two.
MIL had nothing else to say. I haven’t had a proper conversation since. I’m keeping my distance and feeling more at peace.
Thank you everyone for your encouragement.
My MIL and I used to get along really well until the last 8 months or so. She’s gone through a shitty divorce in the past and has a lot of anxiety. I was always understanding and let rant. My partner and I were going to move closer to her to help support her, but one day she called me a back stabber for meeting my partners dad…
Unfortunately the dad cheated. It’s justified she’s angry at him, this was 11 years ago. My partner stands up for me all the time, and told her she crossed our boundaries. We decided to move to a different state we both liked instead. Things kind of fell apart after that. Less phone calls, check ins, etc.
She would still complain about my FIL, I don’t mind listening to her. Then for whatever reason she came to our house and started complaining about the way everything looks… it was so frustrating. The lawn isn’t mowed yet because we just got back from a trip. The dog pees everywhere because he’s still being potty trained. Everything was imperfect to her so I got up and left the house for three hours. I got back and we spoke and she apologized but I can’t help but feel like she’s becoming more and more rude as time goes on….
I’m working 8-9 days in a row just so I can take time off for this trip. I have just been so stressed and I’m deciding whether or not I should go to this trip because I want an actual vacation, not this woman yelling and complaining. Do I go on this trip?
