📋 BULLETIN BOARD (7/26/22 at 4 AM CST):

Alabama, where I am doing my doctorate of Educational Leadership, SUCKS ASS. DO NOT BE TOLD OTHERWISE; THEY ARE SLOW AS HECK HERE. I like the simple life...BUT NOT...THIS SIMPLE. For example, I got hired to a job. They could not even tell me how much I was getting paid, missed the time frame of when I would start by a month, did not do any HR paperwork, and then tell me "to be more patient" on the phone when they were not returning my phone calls or emails with ANY UPDATES. If you bring an employee on but make them wait a month to start, the employee could have literally started another job by then. Do not leave potential workers YOU NEED hanging like that?! Basic professionalism. Okay, forget about the overused word "professionalism" if it is too subjective, because it can be. THAT IS NOT AN EFFECIENT WAY TO BUILD ANY BUSINESS MUCH LESS A TUTORING PROGRAM. THERE ARE STUDENTS' GRADES AT STAKE, AND YOU ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO SAY, "In the next day or so."

If you say that for a month, just be honest and say you do not know or you are being led astray by your own management, which should still translate to "I am unsure." It is better to be honest than give airs THAT YOU ARE MANAGING THIS POSITION WELL. This similar issue has shown in graduate assistantships (that control tuition waivers), volunteer opportunities, clubs that are alive but "dead" because they do not respond until you meet them face to face in the office, professors who are good at heart but are so okay with not responding to important emails on FIXING BROKEN MODULES AND CRUCIAL MISSING INFORMATION ON ASSIGNMENTS. What if with the acceptance of low quality here? When my friends say Alabama has their own culture, they were not kidding. But I cannot believe this. I am talking to the people here who I have told me I am disrespectful for speaking up and pushy because I expect people to tell me an issue instead of me assuming it through passive aggressive words and actions. Using my brain is for work and school. Do not make me use it full force figuring out how you want a relationship you just started with me to go. 

I have never been told, when I asked them to explain, so "confidently" that this is how things are. BULLSHIT DO NOT MAKE EXCUSES FOR YOUR LOW QUALITY HERE. Many people come from different walks of life. Do not assume and certainly do not teach others to assume to LOOK calm and nice, but you are not. Peace comes from crisis is prepared and mitigated. Peace does not come from avoiding war. War will happen unless you know how to downgrade it. Ignoring the issue and then getting angry the other party does not understand the issue fixes little, if anything! Can I survive Alabama? No! But it is a good starting ground for first full-time work, in my opinion, because of less competition because there are little higher degrees here! The local College of Medicine and university here may be good places to work at and afford more privacy, 

On the plus side, there are more working Churches Chickens here than in the small Florida town I came from, lol!

Here is some fried whole fish, bun bo hue (a little less spicy than what I am used to, but there are different ways to make it), and mi quang I had recently from a Pilipino and Vietnamese place!

I WILL DRAW AND READ MORE WHEN I CAN GET TO AN ALABAMA RENTAL THAT DOES NOT HAVE DOGS ATTEMPTING TO BITE ME AND LANDLORDS WHO ARE INVASIVE AND ATTEMPT TO DRIVE MY CAR, USE MY PRINTER AND SCANNER, AND TELL THEIR KIDS I AM THEIR NANNY. WORKING ON IT NOW!
