I wanna see people gas themselves up here.

I've always fancied myself a collector of stories and an inherent strengths seeking missile. There are few people I find boring. My favorite part of my job is drafting a care plan and having new clients read the "strengths" section. I love seeing the smile it puts on their face when they see I've added to the section in addition to what they said.

The down side of this trait is I have the worst time management when it comes to face-to-face visits. Intakes can be up to 3 hours and a check-in can sometimes be 2. I serve the older adult population, and I heavily lean on the excuse that so many of these people just haven't been listened to in forever.

I keep getting charged by Change.org. it's been happening for months. I've disputed it with Change.org but they keep insisting my account is closed with them already and yet they keep charging me and not following up about a refund even when they say they will. I've disputed it with PayPal but they concluded it as authorized. I tried to dispute it again and the parameters of submitting a dispute aren't conducive to this scam operation that won't even give me a claim number when I reach out.

I've tried calling PayPal help center but it's just AI garbage that glitches out if too many molecules float by the receiving end of my phone.

Has anyone had this issue? What helped? Can I close the PayPal account and open a new one?

They both use airpods and I can always tell when they put it on noise-canceling mode because they both suddenly lose all self awareness. One will start mouth breathing loudly and the other will start smacking his gum. The fact that they don't do it when they can hear themselves leads me to assume it's not their normal state of being. I know at least the one who is mouth breathing would be embarrassed to learn she's been doing it loud enough for me and anyone else walking in the office to hear.

If you were doing this unwittingly, would you want to know so you could be more conscientious?

Side vent: I like them both, but the noises they produce from their airpod usage makes me want to Office Space the building Milton-style. It brings the IQ of the room down like 10 points. I don't want to have to wear headphones myself to drown them out because (1) why should I have to and also, (2) someone needs to answer to knocks at the door all of our backs are turned to.

I stumbled upon it by complete happenstance and it made my day. Different vendors were calling it different things, hence the title. Anyone know where it was advertised? I'd like to go to more events like it.
