My career path has been circuitous but I am 50, worked for about 20 years as a tenured Professor -- but didn't make much at it -- my Department was stripped down to next to nothing and I was going through a divorce and so I early-retired.

I had a half-time position as part of my job running grant-funded academic programs that were public-facing at the University, with high-touch support. That was my 3rd program I had run in the same general area. I also had been an Academic Coordinator a long time ago, so I have solid clerical skills and understand staff well.

A position arose suddenly at my University making more than I made as tenured faculty, and my Supervisor would be someone I know and like. It is an Academic Advising position. I have done lots of major Advising and varied student support and am still on the payroll.

I was referred for it internally and told it was an expedited hire. I overhauled my CV to a resume and applied and got an interview for two days from now.

Now I hire all the time and conduct interviews myself. But I am pretty old-school about them with a very intuitive approach to hiring.

On the other hand, I haven't interviewed in ages. And I am totally faculty still, psychologically... I taught Philosophy and am very detailed but you know how we are, although I am more work-aligned than many Professors because I have directed and coordinated so many front-facing student-staffed programs now.

Okay, so I don't know what to expect for an interview for a full-time dedicated Academic Advising position (it's for our largest college and is a highest level Advising job). And I feel like a fish out of water! I do know everything they want me to know, from GEs to articulations to policies to campus resources.

But I would love any help with what to expect in terms of questions. I am a great public speaker but a world-class rambler one-on-one. And I am prone to anxiety attacks under stress. And I keep wondering what they are really looking for and how Academic Advising will be different than it was for faculty Upper-Division Advising in my Department? I did do GE Advising too but always with Philosophy majors, in my case.

I would love anyone tips!

I definitely want this position! I am not as ready to retire at 50 as I had previously thought. Also I am highly altruistic and thrive on seeing students succeed. And I truly love my University, warts and all.

I am 50, a terrible sleep onset insomniac with a lifetime of parasominas -- talking in my sleep. Sleep paralysis. Sleep onset hallucinations. Sleep paralysis and sleep maintenance insomnia.

It's not every night but often, however my new sleep partner reports that I cry every night passing into sleep and whimper for several minutes. I don't remember it at all, ever.

Is it a Parasomnia? I cannot find anything online about it. Is it repressed emotion?

Sleep studies show I don't easily go from Stage I to II sleep and tend to wake up then. I have no slow wave sleep and tons of REM sleep.

I take ambien to help fall asleep as it has been 30 years of sleep onset insomnia. It usually causes no side effects except occasionally munchies.

I don't think I am depressed?

Why am I crying when falling asleep? Why can't I remember it? It scares my bed partner. Unsure what to tell him (talking in my sleep was already weird enough for him)

As per the title, and I am trying to book a flight with Alaska Airlines' Atmos Miles from SFO-KTI, the main airport in Phnom Penh, Cambodia a.k.a. Techo Airport. It is a new-ish but quite large International airport which replaced the old airport in Phnom Penh last year.

On the website, KTI brings up Kratie, Cambodia instead, which is a non-operational and small airport that hasn't been in use for 20 years.

How can I book this flight?

I am looking on the Alaska Airlines website on my laptop.

Just had a 3d mammogram that had me rushed for an ultrasound, both of which said I had a 3cM complex cyst that was suspicious, BIRADS 4.

I was then told I needed an urgent biopsy and numbed, and then the doctor said nevermind, it was actually just an abscess, it had 3ML of non-bloody pus that aspirated. I watched it all on the ultrasound. So they did not do a biopsy.

This was all in three hours, back to back, for a large and new firm but pliable lump in my breast.

I am postmenopausal and not breastfeeding, had no injuries, no visible redness or tight skin, no pain (except minor tenderness), nothing basically.

I am now worried it was cancerous or misdiagnosed because online it says breastfeeding abcess is caused by mastitis or trauma or breastfeeding, and the images look bad, whereas in my case, I just felt a big lump by my nipple.

Has anyone else heard of this kind of thing before?

The BIRADS 4 scared the crap out of me.

I am the owner of a duplex in VA and previously lived there. My next door neighbor also owns the second half of the duplex property adjacent and constantly filed false complaints about my property with the city. He is out of his mind and can be very threatening. The entry is a small shared area and I ignored him as well as I could or talked him down by being very calm and going above and beyond about his ridiculous complaints. He once complained my dog was barking and I finally had to re-home my dog.

I moved, the house was vacant, and I couldn't sell it. During that time, he filed multiple complaints with the city about the yard being weedy. I addressed them as I wasn't aware of this as my Realtor never mentioned any of this to me.

Now I have both new tenants on a six month lease and am also selling to another Realtor for commercial rental of the property. Everyone is aware of this and the other Realtor/purchasing agent is only interested to pick the property up to keep renting until the flat market improves.

Within one day of the tenants moving in, the neighbor has claimed twice that my tenants were smoking and I have to evict them or he would sue me for negligence.

I don't believe they were smoking. I know my tenants in passing and used to work with one. They don't smoke as far as I know. I called them as I live out of State and they said they weren't smoking. I haven't had time to get a property manager yet as I wasn't anticipating even having tenants and am dealing with a divorce and full-time job out of State. They fell into my lap.

My Realtor then called me and said the purchasing party was alarmed as the neighbor also contacted her and told him that he contacted the purchasing Realtor, and the Realtor says that it spooked the buying Realtor who worried this neighbor would cause the property to not be rentable.

The neighbor is blowing up my phone with texts saying he can smell smoke still. This guy won't quit and is probably just getting started. He is such a psycho a*hole, there are no words.

After losing a lot of money on this house sitting vacant and not selling in a stagnant market, I want it to sell ASAP. My Realtor is unmotivated. I am bleeding money. What can I humanly do in the case?
