#and it's one of the responsible ones who regularly goes to seminars

[dinosaurcharcuterie]

Now, I'm not saying the doctor I'm seeing today has a reputation for eye-watering long waitibg room times. Or that Germany has very odd ideas about what efficient rail plans are once you leave any given metropolis.

I'm not saying any of that.

I'm just saying, this felt like the right book to start reading today.

[philomelas-tongue-says]

okay but also this is where to come to complain about grad school so (under the cut it goes)

so I'm in this one seminar this quarter on thursday afternoons which I was so profoundly looking forward to -- it's about post- and de-colonial classical receptions, which is a combo of "something I don't know a ton about and would like to learn more regarding" (post- and de-colonial thought and theory) and "something I feel very strongly about" (reception), so I was like okay, amazing, perfect, no notes.

except. except. in practice it has been such a profoundly frustrating experience on like every level.

it's a grad seminar but some upper-level undergrads are also enrolled, which is theoretically fine but like ... some of the undergrads are, I think, still kind of making the leap from undergrad-level thinking to graduate-level thinking, and so it sometimes feels like there's this -- gap, in terms of knowledge and analysis, between those populations, and it's not always clear to me what level the class is trying to cater to.

but the big thing currently bothering me is an issue that arose yesterday that a major part of our work for the course is a pair-work discussion-lead activity where we, in pairs, are responsible for leading theoretically an entire class (which is, to be clear, a three-hour seminar) about the text we're assigned for the week. but in practice, it's been actually more structured like "some weeks we do an activity or prof gives a mini-lecture, and then we do a discussion; some weeks, it's an entire three hours of discussion" and typically we have absolutely no warning in advance of the actual class. my week I and my partner went for the full three hours, but next week's duo is only being expected to do an hour and 15 minutes, so that we have time for a workshop on our final project for the class. and if this were like a "undergrad vs. grad student expectations" thing I would totally get it and it would not be an area of complaint, but it's not. there's no regularity to who gets asked to do the whole class and who gets asked to do less. and also most weeks we have zero warning in advance if something else is happening, which makes it extremely difficult to plan out an appropriate amount of material for the class! and it feels wildly uneven to me that another pair's 1.25 hours of discussion is going to be evaluated with the same weight as my pair's 2.75 hours of it, frankly!

and added to this that we received absolutely no real guidelines about how to structure or run these discussions, things we had to hit upon, etc. or even really any guidance on How To Run A Three-Hour Discussion (which is a fundamentally different skill than "running a 50-minute discussion" which is the standard TAship section, and even then, not all of us have yet taught, and some of us are undergrads still) and so it's just like - I don't know what the expectations are, I don't know how to appropriately meet them, and when I got my grade back for my week (a 95, so like, nothing to complain about but it’s the principle of the thing) it was not accompanied by any actual feedback about what went well or badly, or what we could have done to improve, so it sort of feels like -- well, obviously we get to evaluate and analyze the text, but what is the point of doing this whole discussion lead thing. what skills am I supposed to be learning from it.

and I really do like this professor as like. a person. she's lovely. but her teaching style and I perhaps just do not mesh and it's making a class I was super excited for into something that I actively dread every week and regularly depart from feeling actively bad about myself. and like okay yeah only three more weeks of it whatever but. I was hopeful! I was optimistic! augh

The Reason.

I recently watched "Kian's Bizarre BnB" on Netflix. I came across the episode wherein the father of the children revealed that he has cancer. He told the story of how he was an office worker for 18 years, drinks a lot with colleagues, and one day, noticed blood in his stool. He was later diagnosed with rectal cancer and later on as the cancer was spreading, diagnosed of lung cancer. Later on, Kian also shared that his father died of lung cancer.

Working in a healthcare sector as a Medical Technologist for 4 years now, I've came across a lot of stories of people who had cancer. I have friends, family and colleague who have cancer. I've been diagnosed of PCOS 6 months ago with an ovarian cyst the size of an orange. My ovarian cyst is under monitoring for a few months because if it doesn't decrease in size, I was told that it needed to be surgically removed. I've been told it might be hard for me to bear a child too in the future. It wasn't cancer. But being told I have a lump in my ovary a size of an orange and it needed to be graded; I thought it might be cancer. Working in a hospital with shifting schedule is stressful enough. The cause of my PCOS is a hormonal imbalance due to cortisol, a stress hormone. A year before my diagnosis, I've started to feel that something is wrong when my period becomes irregular since I have a regular period. I am inexplicably feeling tired and exhausted all of the time even with complete rest and sleep. I eat healthy and exercise regularly. I prioritize sleep and rest too just like how my Adventist professors have taught me in college. So, it was upsetting for me to ask God why I developed a chronic illness. I can't accept the fact. I feel like a different person. I started to blame my work as a medical technologist and a blood bank staff. I've lost my energy and spark. I've always been passionate. But ever since I got my diagnosis, I realized that when you got sick, your work is not important. I think negatively at work and to my coworkers, it greatly affected my mental health. I felt overwhelmed by my work, the responsibility I have to carry, the problems I have to solve, my desire for improvement, desire for growth, the people I have to lead, the people I have to set my boundaries, my weakening mental health, my ever-growing feeling of exhaustion that never goes away, fear of cancer, feeling stuck, feeling unappreciated, undervalued, underpaid and overworked, it came to me all at once. I felt overwhelmed and sad. I resigned.

It was a decision I took a hold on for a year. Long before I received my diagnosis. I wasn't growing professionally. I felt limited because I know I can do more. I wanted to move forward but kept being stuck for the most basic things such as frequently reminding everyone to update the temperature log. I did all I can to improve our section, God knows how I slept dreaming and thinking of ways to improve it. I always looked out for my juniors and teach them, so I won't have to do it all by myself. I made myself available most of the time even during off duties to help my colleagues solve a problem at work (troubleshooting machines, doing controls, loading reagents, looking for a missing reagent or kit, an incompatible crossmatch, inconsistencies with blood typing, request confirmation, an issue with a relative, doctor, nurse, ward, protocol validation etc.) It felt a lonely chore. But I felt passionate about it even if the efforts were not seen and appreciated because I love what I'm doing. I've not been invited to any seminars and trainings at all. So, I made a way to treat myself and pay for my own trainings and seminars. However, the more I seek knowledge and advancement in my career, the more it felt lonelier. Knowing a lot, means recognizing holes, problems that needed to be solved and things that needed improvement. Also, I've never been recognized and trusted to lead while my junior colleagues received section head titles. I thought maybe I contribute so little. Or that, I don't seem trustworthy at all. When I got an HIV proficiency license, a senior endorsed the running of HIV tests to me because her license was already expired years before. I asked our chief for clarity about my job description, responsibilities, proper endorsement of procedures, send-out of reactive specimens and reports, HR endorsement (for possible increased salary for the license & COE update) and IPCU endorsement (because the IPCU doesn't recognize me as a new HIV proficient until I resigned), I just got told 'later, I am busy with something'. I reminded our chief again for clarification a few weeks later because I'm already running the tests because my senior is on leave and nobody else will do the job she endorsed to me. I was told 'just do it for now, I'll talk to her later'. Months have passed and I did the job without receiving clarification to what I've asked for. I received further endorsement on sending out reactive samples to confirmatory laboratories however, there was no endorsement about the submission of reports. I don't want to accept a job based on incomplete verbal endorsement, so I personally told our chief that I need a complete written endorsement. The chief told me that they will have to talk about it. They never had a conversation. Or if they ever had, I never got anything I've asked for (complete written endorsement, HR endorsement and IPCU endorsement). They started to ask a lot of things from me, such as preparing the documents for a DOH visit, re-write SOP, and organize blood bank files. I knew I have to draw a line somewhere. With my current condition, I honestly don't want to add any more stress. I am already holding on to my last straw. Yet, I only received confusion and frustration. So, when they finally suggested to make me a Blood Bank Head, I refused. I could no longer bear the responsibility without any more clarification as to what is expected from me. I've already had enough. I never regretted my decision to resign.

[dinosaurcharcuterie]

This still works on adults, btw.

The place I worked at before this had a really nice, modern building with lovely surroundings. Pay was great, benefits were fantastic. And it turned some people into what I can only describe as arrogant shit goblins to anyone they perceived as lesser.

The lunch staff was relatively spared, as they decided via committee what was on the menu beyond drinks and chocolate bars, and also how stingy they were with your portion size.

Maintenance could shut down part of the park around the building if it got too messy, and put your non-lethal repair request all the way down to the end of the wait list, so there was some calculation involved in the disrespect they faced.

But the cleaners? Some people decided those were free game. And in ludicrous ways. Trash was thrown on the floor instead of the waste basket 5 steps away. Sorting it, as these people did at home? Not happening. Someone put up signs to not take hot drinks in carpeted areas and it only seemed to motivate people to take their coffee break there. Let's not even mention the toilets.

There was very little in way of cleaning desk-based employees could be forced to do beyond take out trash. There were protections in place describing exactly which tasks were part of your contract and which weren't. This was mainly to keep interns from being hazed and managers from shoving off responsibilities, and it seemed to backfire spectacularly.

Until someone had the bright idea that cleaners had those same protections. They had been hired to clean the office space of responsible adults with a certain expected amount of manners. Not be the live-in maid of Gordon in Sales.

Your group had a chronic un-sorter? Your room was regularly found with the floor covered in tissues? Welp, guess you weren't part of the cleaners' responsibility anymore for a month or two. Have fun figuring out where the trash goes after the bin is full, because you will be reported if you start filling up the trash of others groups so they don't have space for their own. Oh, you want your floors cleaned and the desks sanitized? Put in a request, and wait for there to be a supervisor ready to confirm there's no tripping hazards as were reported last time. Yes, every time.

Toilet stalls covered in bodily fluids? Sink area regularly pollocked with liquid soap? Yeah, those restrooms were closed for "maintenance" now. How long? Doesn't matter to you. Next wing has other ones. Enjoy your walk.

The coffee stains on carpet could and did result in the really, really, REALLY nice coffee machine nearest to the area being removed. You could get a jug of black coffee from the cafeteria, if you were willing to make the trek. No perishables allowed to be stored in offices, too much of a biohazard, so no latte or cappuccino for you. Sugar? That attracts ants, don't keep that in your cubby! Maybe go up or down a floor to someone else's break room, listen to the rumors about why "your" machine got taken away.

Same could be done with dishwashers--and the crockery that came with them--or fridges or vending machines.

By the time I got there, the on-boarding talk included a pre-emptive "there will be natural consequences if custodial staff is not respected". Failure to heed that warning was swiftly called out by coworkers, albeit a bit more grumpily by those who felt like their place of work should come with their own personal punching bag. Some types were so far gone that they ignored that, too, and then complained to their supervisors about it. They were respectfully informed which comforts were stipulated in their contract, and which ones could only be provided in a work environment that allowed all staff to work according to theirs.

Most people adapted without issue.

So how do I know this wasn't all hugely exaggerated rumor?

One section of the building was kept for external contractors and inspectors. You'd be banished redirected there if your space was temporarily unavailable, or for some seminars. In the six years I worked there, there were maybe two of them were the trash was collected, maybe three months where the toilets were accessible and I think less than six weeks where the break area was more than a sink and some empty cupboards.

im always thinking about that post where someones grandma said “some people have never cleaned a bathroom and it shows” bc it does show

Kirat Raj Singh  A Voice for the Voiceless in the UK’s Animal Community

In today’s fast-paced world, where human needs often overshadow the cries of the voiceless, one man continues to dedicate his time, energy, and heart to the animals who need it most. Kirat Raj Singh, a committed animal lover from the UK, has emerged as a powerful advocate for both domestic and wild animals. His compassion and advocacy work have made a meaningful impact, and his story continues to inspire animal lovers across the nation.

A Life Guided by Empathy

From a young age, Kirat was drawn to animals — not just as companions but as beings deserving of dignity, safety, and love. While many children are fascinated by animals, Kirat’s bond ran deeper. He was known in his community as the boy who would stop traffic to help a hurt dog or spend his lunch money feeding stray cats. This early sense of responsibility became a guiding principle in his life.

Rather than turn a blind eye to suffering, Kirat made it his mission to be a force for good — and that mission only grew stronger with time.

Rescue, Rehabilitation, and Rehoming

Kirat Raj Singh’s work goes far beyond simple affection for animals. He is deeply involved in the practical aspects of animal rescue, particularly in cases involving neglect, abandonment, and injury. Working with animal shelters and local councils, he assists in locating animals in distress, arranging for their medical care, and placing them in temporary or permanent homes.

His own home has often become a refuge for dogs, cats, rabbits, and even injured birds — each one receiving the care, nutrition, and emotional attention they need to heal. His ability to connect with traumatised animals and rebuild their trust has been a standout aspect of his work.

Empowering Others Through Education

A true believer in community outreach, Kirat dedicates much of his time to educating the public. Whether through school presentations, public awareness campaigns, or online seminars, he ensures that people — especially the younger generation — understand the responsibility that comes with caring for animals.

Topics like neutering, vaccination, ethical pet ownership, and the dangers of exotic pet trade are among the issues he highlights. His workshops are interactive and informative, often involving rescued animals to show first-hand the difference compassion can make.

Promoting Responsible Pet Ownership

Kirat's work often includes guidance to new pet owners on how to responsibly care for their animals. Many animals are abandoned due to lack of knowledge, unrealistic expectations, or lifestyle mismatches. Kirat works to prevent these situations by educating people before they adopt.

He has also helped create checklists and digital guides for families considering adding a pet to their household — ensuring long-term commitment and compatibility between pet and owner.

Conservation: A Global Perspective

While his roots are in the UK, Kirat Raj Singh’s concern for animals extends far beyond national borders. He supports international wildlife protection efforts, particularly those aimed at stopping poaching and illegal wildlife trafficking. He frequently donates to and raises funds for conservation groups working to protect endangered species in Africa, Asia, and South America.

Kirat believes that protecting animals globally begins with local awareness. He often reminds others that "what happens to animals in one part of the world affects us all," emphasizing that ecosystems are interconnected, and the extinction of one species can impact many.

Ethical Living and Advocacy

Kirat’s personal life is a reflection of his ethical values. He follows a cruelty-free lifestyle, avoiding products that are tested on animals or involve animal exploitation. His diet is plant-based, and he regularly promotes vegan and vegetarian options for those looking to reduce their environmental and animal welfare footprint.

He collaborates with cruelty-free brands and encourages businesses to adopt more sustainable and ethical practices. Kirat sees this as part of a broader movement toward a kinder, more responsible world.

Conclusion

Kirat Raj Singh has become more than just a compassionate individual — he has become a symbol of hope for the animal welfare community in the UK. Through his direct action, public advocacy, and daily choices, he embodies what it means to be a true animal ally. In every animal he saves, every child he educates, and every voice he raises for change, Kirat reminds us all of the power of empathy.

His story is proof that anyone, regardless of their background or resources, can make a difference when guided by love and purpose. In the UK and beyond, animals are living better lives today because Kirat Raj Singh chose to care.

TBH Matthew Robinnson I think is right and on the right track, but I also think he has a bit of a closed minded and kinda "boomer"ish view on how DID should look. I do think researching with his concept in mind is important and I REALLY do think we do need to research social media and DID relationships because I think it is ABSOLUTELY important to bring up and I am absolutely glad someone is bring it up and onto the desks of researchers so I do think the conference was a large net positive

That said, it's hardly perfect and I have a lot of complaints but heres the thing, I don't think I've ever been to a research seminar / conference where I DIDNT have complaints. The nature of these things aren't meant to be 100% informational and "this is fact" it is to share current thoughts, concepts, ideas, and directions with people in a similar field to try to start a conversation on certain issues and get other researchers thinking about similar issues.

These sorts of videos do not exist primarily for a general audience but other researchers and academics - professionals and experts - to address a current issue that is being faced. Researchers and academics are LARGELY argumentative (in an actual debate manner) and actively challenge one another and it is very very very rare that these sorts of seminars and conferences go unchallenged because doing so is - at least in my experience in research fields - against the very nature of those in the field of research.

If it worries you that this is going to UPHEAVAL the WHOLE professional world, don't. For each professional researcher that states one view there will be another that goes "um actually I disagree". He is one professional and honestly his take isn't wrong, his attitude and view (imo) is just that he is a bit dated and a little closed minded.

Typically I don't really care to commentate on discourse that is popular in the communities cause usually theyre honestly stupid and dumb af, but considering this was an academic seminar causing it, I felt a lot more interested and responsible of communicating my thoughts on it as someone who does regularly sit in research communities and centers and in literally a month will be a paid professional in the field of research under a research university.

Just remember when looking at this stuff that those videos are again, NOT MEANT TO BE FACT AND END ALL. They are discussion starters. They're flags being raised for "I think this is something we need to look into". His claims are not " this is the absolute truth " - it is "this is what I see and notice and think and it has me curious / concerned on this topic and I think others should also be curious / concerned and this is something worth researching."

Just take a breath.

It will be OK.

The world has not ended because someone questioned it.

I understand being dysregulated / upset or anything by it, cause fair and I understand, but its just a conversation topic that is HONESTLY very needed.

If you agree with the statement "we should get more research on how social media interacts with DID" then what he is doing is beneficial as a net whole.

You don't have to agree with everything he said to agree with the core function and purpose of the seminar which was to raise interest in the topic of social media and DID within other professional researchers.

He might not be the best speaker, but it served its purpose for starting a conversation.

The only thing this will result in is an increase of interest in researching DID in the modern era. Nothing more, nothing less.

Headcanon: Cynthia and the Lake Trio

Canon:

Cynthia is a Sinnoan who generally stays in Sinnoh but travels around it and who is willful, emotional, and knowledgeable.  

Conjecture:

Following the defeat of Team Galactic at Spear Pillar, it is entirely plausible for all three members of the Lake Trio to decide to treat her as a fellow guardian of Sinnoh (and/or technically the Universe) and a sort of almost equal (or at least a 'brother in arms' ) to occasionally hang around. 

Headcanon:

(based on there being that shrine in her hometown of Celestic Town in the games, admittedly) 

She'd privately been [raised to be] somewhat of a devout worshipper of the three before the events at Mt Coronet and the definative proof that they exist. That thing hanging from the necklace of hers has some religious meaning. Afterward, suddenly being treated as an [almost equal] ally and possibly friend (which eventually becomes reciprocated on her end) trips up her and everyone who knows her personally. It would start with her immediately checking to see if they're okay. Following Team Galactic being defeated, the triplet's champions would interpret the former just teleporting away (and the latter lacking a means of following them) as a sign that they're unharmed. So Ash and friends just go on their way. Cynthia can just Fly to the lakes to check on them. So being a responsible person, she does just that once all the immediately necessary cleanup (paperwork, verification the prisoners are being safely transported, etc) involved is complete. They're fine, but the thought is appreciated, and they do recognize her role in beating Team Galactic. What follows is occasional aid for the champion when she's in for their respective local areas. Reverence on her end turns into familiarity and mutual respect into possibly even a kind of friendship.

It is small at first: Azelf appears to help whenever she's in the area dealing with an emergency of some kind (disaster? some other set of poachers?). Azelf had been proven to exist and live in Lake Valor through the events of canon. This doesn't mean the locals aren't surprised to see it**. Perhaps the same is true for the other two (Or at least Mesprit who I can't think of a unique example of).

Any guest lectures by the champion at a school or university near Lake Acuity see the Being of Knowledge floating around at the back of the room, assisting the memory recall/formation of Cynthia and her audience to ensure it goes smoothly. 

Maybe while at the Valor Lakefront for one reason or another a kid (having just become a trainer a day before) decides to challenge her. The sheer chutzpah convinces Azelf to appear in front of him before he can send out his only Pokémon so that he can command the legendary against her instead.

Prayer/mediation at the lakes turns into chatting and in Mesprits' case, stress relief along with Dawn who it probably visits and is visited by regularly (after all, Mesprits lake is just outside of Twinleaf. It's not improbable that the two become friends themselves) (whether the chatting is one-way or two-way and if two way then if communication is direct telepathy or the transmission of certainties/emotions/memories is whatever you'd prefer).

And occasionally the three teleport to hang out with her wherever she may be.

Things come to a head when she goes on an archeological expedition for some ancient settlement's buried ruins in northern Sinnoh and the three decide to accompany her. She asks Uxie if it can give her directions to the location of the ruins and is given as a response her own memory of herself explaining to someone (a student at a seminar she guest lectured to?) that you can't truly learn something if you are just given the answers straight out. 

"But surely it counts in this case. You live around here. You count as a valid primary source." In response, all she gets back is Uxie smugly smiling at her. She doesn't catch herself muttering [something like] "You asshole." at the legendary pokémon. Frustration turns to horror at the blasphemous statement, but before she can apologize she notices Azelf and Mesprit have started laughing. She's dumbfounded "What?". And then comes a rapid series of memories into her mind -not her own but Uxie's- of both of its siblings expressing similar frustration at the Being of Knowledge being vague or mysterious or having told/hinted to them "I know something you don't". She rolls her eyes and starts to repeat her previous statement, but the frustration this time has been expanded into anger and thus speaks the words louder. "And you too, Mesprit. You can't just mess with people's minds for fun like that." (potentially replace Mesprit with Azelf here) The laughing continues. It is at this point that Cynthia realizes that mutual respect has turned into friendship. "A hint at least?". And then memories of relevant details about the civilization which she previously read begin to be recalled in her mind. And so on it goes. They'd spend time together occasionally, and do each other small favors (the legendaries teleporting the champion between lakes, Cynthia conducting odd errands). If the trio's existence is becoming common knowledge, the human and lake trio (plus Dawn, in Mesprit's case) may not even seriously hide their interactions. Those who revere the Lake Spirits (and assuming she'd have grown up in such a community, she'd know many of these people) may have no idea how to react to her growingly casual irreverent familiarity with them. ("Yes, 'Azelf desires that all may be the very best they can be. That thy will may triumph over any obstacle'. But it can be highly aggravating in its desire for such. Yes, what it wants is generally is a good thing. It isn't beneficial when it involves pestering someone for hours when they're trying to do paperwork in order to see the limit of their willpower or convince them to help make a hot pepper-mint icecream sunday. Again!") ([insert Mesprit statement here. Something about needing to talk down Mesprit from subjecting a criminal to a fae-style cruel and unusual punishment on account of Dawn being there to potentially see it? Maybe Mesprit would do the thing with the extremely painful food (but for the sake of experiencing it rather than to show how strong-willed it is)?]) ("Without a doubt, 'Uxie Knows'. It is a wonderful confidante and has been a lifesaver in keeping track of paperwork. And yes, Uxie absolutely does want people to be able to solve problems themselves. But I can speak for both myself and its siblings when I say Uxie is absolutely insufferable about it. 'Hey, Uxie? there's been an uptick in Pokémon kidnapping recently by some group of poachers. They were sighted around here recently, so can you help me find them?' And so rather than doing anything direct, it just reminds me of two news articles I'd read and a patch of a crime scene I'd once visited, then teleports away. One two weeks long investigation all across Sinnoh later and the G-men and I find that there's been a Pokémon Pinchers cell operating in Pastoria, while they're all gathered together and preparing for their first monthly shipment. Next I saw Uxie, it just gives me this smug look as if I should be pleased to be led by the nose with little sleep on some quest for something it probably already knew the location of. Absolutely insufferable.")

When Cynthia began to contemplate retiring from competitive battling, they were probably some of the first beings other than her own Pokémon that she confided in. Azelf, of course, merely insisted that she wait until after battling its favorite human.

**Slightly related vague headcanon: 

When the locals at the lakefront decide to build a shrine to Azelf subsequently to being officially demonstrated to exist without a shadow of a doubt, its soon replaced/modified(?) with the plan to build a park of some sort where people and Pokémon can test their willpower/courage. Eventually, one might find Medicham and Lucario meditating there. And if you're lucky you might see Azelf itself on the rollercoaster (or some equivalent) ride.

~~~~~ Not sure what to do with Mesprit here*** other than it also becoming friends with Dawn, or pushing for larger expressions of emotion. Something about having fae-like mannerisms, maybe? 'emotions as weighting functions in decision trees' is probably too clinical. I dunno ***or in general - frankly Mesprit is the least interesting and hardest to figure out a unique worldview for).

[prorevenge]

Try to take advantage of me? Let me hang you out to dry.

This happened a few years ago

A bit of back story; I’m Dutch (sorry in advanced for any spelling or grammatical mistakes) and at the time I was 29. I live with special care and I get paid disability by a government agency which is 80% of minimum wage for someone my age. The job I had at a place, we’ll call JobDirector, and it’s not really a job, more like the place where I’m given care is paying JobDirector to keep me entertained during the day so I’m not stuck at home 24/7. So to sum that up, JobDirector isn’t paying me a dime, they are paid for me to be there and any actual work I do while there also turns them a profit. It’s fair to say that they make double the money on me being there, just keep that in mind as I start the story.

Working at JobDirector, I was the Personal Assistant of the Electrician they had on staff, let’s call him Gus. Gus was an old hand in the trade and he was nearing his retirement he worked only 2 mornings in the week, I worked 4 Mornings in the week so I was a perfect fit to be his assistant. And we did everything, not just electrical but also pluming and putting up storage racks. And I did most of the menial things, lug the tool box around, hand him tools, hold the ladder he was standing on, you name it. I did often get the crappy side of the jobs but that’s how you learned a trade in the old days before formal job trainings. Do the sucky jobs and stick around and you’ll learn a thing or two. Well that is what happened. I learned how to do most of the things Gus was doing regularly. It got to the point where he would send me out to do jobs alone, jobs that didn’t require him to inspect my work for safety reasons.

Management of JobDirector caught wind of this, and having believed that people in my situations couldn’t really be taught anything, they suddenly saw an untapped potential. So for the other 2 days where Gus didn’t need me, JobDirector tried to send me to another project they had going for those days.

The project in question was super vision of peoples’ bicycles at the local train station; they had already opened a kiosk and restaurant there and wanted to add supervision to the bicycles there. (side note to you non-Dutch out there; you’d be surprised how many Bicycles are used and how many are stolen daily in my country, particularly at train stations). I had to report to a small meeting with the guy supervising the train station, let’s call him Jim, so he could instruct me on the job; basically it was a “show presence to scare off thieves” type of deal. Bright orange jacket riddled with reflector strips saying “Bicycle Security” on the back. Just walking around is a job I could easily do, but being more forward thinking then my disability would suggest I of course have questions and the conversation went like this:

“Ok so what about if I catch someone in the act of trying to steal a Bike, and he attacks me, am I covered for defending myself or the potential trauma the thief inflicts on me?” was my first question.

With a somewhat surprised look Jim would answer “Oh don’t worry about it, that’s never to happen.” Guess he didn’t expect that kind of a question from me.

I’ve seen stranger things happen so I don’t buy Jim’s answer, but I press on. “Ok… So what about any incidents that happen?”

“When a incident happens, just stay there and call me.”

“Ok so you’ll provide me with a job phone then?”

At this point Jim starts looking a bit annoyed at me. “What for? You have a cellphone don’t you? Just use that.”

I found that to be a weird response. And while I do look up the occasional schematic for Gus and myself, that’s always over the Company Wifi we installed. But actually using my cellphone bill for work? “Ok can I put in for the amount of my Cellphone bill I use up for work?”

“What the hell for?” Jim says starting to get angry. “It’s just a single less than a minute phone call to call me over.” Now some people might agree with Jim at this point, but let me point out that everyone that is actually on JobDirector’s staff payroll has a work phone assigned to them by the company. They want me, the lowest of the low unpaid worker, to use my private phone? No I draw the line there. But I didn’t have to say anything else anymore as Jim goes: “You know what, never mind. Go back to your original spot because you are being too difficult.”

At the time I filed the whole thing away as something weird and dismissed it as I went on my way. Not really having caught on to a changing trend at the company.

Fast forward a month or two and I’ve learned more about electronics including the NEN3140 Certification. Let me go off topic for a minute here; The NEN3140 is a Dutch certification for electric appliances inside of a business. I don’t know most of the terminology in English, but it has to do with job safety. Any appliance that is movable by hand needs to be certified. This includes but is not limited to; Computers, Corded power tools, chargers for battery powered tools, fridges, freezers and washing machines. If it has a plug on it for a standard electrical outlet, it needs to be certified.

If for instance Timmy uses an angle grinder and it malfunctions causing Timmy to get electrocuted (just making up an extreme example here) and the angle grinder wasn’t NEN3140 compliant, well the company will be looking at a hefty fine from a government agency dealing with job safety. And on top of that job health insurance won’t pay out to cover whatever compensation Timmy needs or is entitled to, meaning the company itself will need to cough that up too. Now back to the story

So Gus and I do this NEN3140 certification for every location JobDirector has, Gus is a certified NEN3140 inspector and has the specialized testing device. I can do the job for him under his supervision. I actually do most of the computerized paperwork for him because Gus is a single finger ‘hunt and peck’ kind of user of the keyboard while I myself ten finger blind type, shaves literally a few months from the work for Gus. Total count of devices tested at just the company itself; 756. Keep that number in mind folks, as it is important!

During one of our drives back to our morning start site just before our shift ends, Gus being an older helpful guy that sometimes worries about peoples futures, and knowing how I can easily do the NEN3140 on my own starts to talk about maybe a potential future for me to be a NEN3140 Certifier. In that conversation I learn the following;

* Getting the diploma is about 50 Euro (55.95 USD) for a 2 hour seminar, which you have to do yearly to keep your NEN3140 certifier status.* The Testing device costs about 1000 Euro (1117.55 USD) to buy, and will cost around 500 Euro (559.50 USD) to calibrate it to specification every year.* If you are a Certifier, and you have your own equipment, you can go to a company and ask a MINIMUM of 20 euro (20.38 USD) per power plug. Note I said power plug, not passed or rejected appliances, just having the plug plugged into the tester is money for me.

Remember that number of total devices? 756? 756 * 20 Euro = 15120 Euro (16919.28 USD). That’s already way more then I make a year from the disability pay. For just two and a half months of work at my current work hours.

The only logical thing I could respond with after having calculated that for the first time was “Thanks Gus, you’ve given me some food for thought”.

About a week after this conversation, Gus tells me that they have a small time business requiring NEN3140 Certification but that he is too busy with another job. So if I could do it instead. I go and I test all the devices they had, 35 plugs in total. I Generate the paperwork and ensure that there is a printed copy of the manual for all said devices that where certified and place 35 signatures on the paperwork in Gus’ name. Total time taken for all that was about two weeks total. Client is happy, I’m happy, Gus is happy, Company is happy.

Two weeks after having completed that, another one comes up. So again I do it, this time under Gus’ supervision. 514 plugs. Two months of work and my wrist was in agony after setting 514 signatures. Remember I’m a lowest of the lower unpaid worker there, so I already decided that I wasn’t going to be doing that for long.

At this point, Gus is almost a single year away from his retirement. And in our daily conversations in his car he had already pointedly told me that “When my retirement hits, I’ll be leaving my tools at home and never touching them again unless they pay me.” He’s the ‘can’t sit still at home’ type so he was going to be sticking at the company as a volunteer together with his wife he was also working there. Not doing electronics work anymore.

And the upper management of JobDirector saw an untapped gold mine. Me, doing NEN3140 certifications. So I was called into a small meeting, Gus was there, some HR like person and one of the underbosses. They started buttering me up about helping me get a certifier license, at a great deal of half off. The testing device they had already bought and paid for, on the one hand possible career choice, on the other hand? No way am I going that for 80% of minimum wage considering what kind of money that’d be making off of me. Let alone the position of responsibility I’d be left in. as rankings in the company go, I am literally lowest of the low. I have no say. Gus when he found an appliance while doing the NEN3140, would put a cable-snipper onto the power cord and cut it as close the appliance as possible. I don’t have that kind of authority, and you’ll just know that the company will continue using an appliance even if I reject it. Now who do you think is going to take the fall for that if someone gets unscheduled electro shock therapy?

Covering the financial situation first, I ask them what I would get in return. Their response left me lukewarm and I quote: “Payment? This is a bit of responsibility, which is a good thing for you!” Yeah, just because I live with special care and get disability, they think that I have no responsibility at all. And I wasn’t out to milk them dry or anything. If they did pay me above a certain amount it wouldn’t be a benefit to me but a detriment as the disability I get would be cut leaving me even worse off. But some compensation would have been nice right? More relaxed hours, different job title that would actually allow me to throw out the appliances that didn’t make it, a company cellphone maybe? Nope they wouldn’t budge. So I told them where they could stick their ‘bit of responsibility’.

Well tell you something though, because of my disability, I didn’t get scolded. Not in any official capacity anyways. But Gus was not happy. In a later conversation I had in his car, he said that I was being stupid, and that I won’t make it anywhere in life if I don’t try anything new. This is of course coming from the guy who’s been raving for two years now how he’ll never pick up his tools again after he’s retired. I point out his hypocrisy and that if he doesn’t want to do the work if he’s not getting paid, then why should I? He has no answer of course and stays quiet.

A week passes, and I was notified that Gus no longer wanted to work with me because he disapproved of my work ethics. Well that suited me just fine, as much as I respect his age and experience, I was getting tired of him harping on about my disability and his disapproval of how I choose to spend my free time like the dude is my dad or something. And an hour later I heard that the company was making deals with other companies for NEN3140 Certifications.

I had already smelled something fishy a week before Gus no longer wanted to work with me and had taken prudence to look for another company that would be happy to have my presence and the payment they’d get for having me over 4 mornings of the week.

The following morning I was called over and they started to tell me about the job at a major company in the area, upwards of 1500+ appliances. My boss was very enthusiastic about it (who wouldn’t be for 30k Euro/33.5k USD?) and that I needed to do that job under Gus’ supervision. Meaning Gus would drive me out to there, to then leave me there to do his own workload. Then pick me up again at quitting time.

I told the boss that I was happy for him landing such a big job and I enthusiastically told him that I just got hired somewhere else, and because I’m unpaid I had no obligation to give prior notice. Boss went white as a sheet, trying to tell me that I couldn’t just do that, and that I had to have a 3 month exit period. I knew it wasn’t true, so I just laughed myself all the way out the door to my new ‘job’ that certainly appreciated me more than this company.

Sex Education:- A must need for future generation

Meaning:- 'Sex education' simply means the introduction of concept regarding sexual reproduction and sexual feelings'. It is a systematic study of the gradual development of body, sexuality, and relationships in school. It aims to help young people to communicate and make the correct decision regarding sex and their sexual health. Need:- Our schools teach our children everything they need to know to succeed – right? Intensive classes, exams to help them get into the best universities in India and abroad, and even extra out-of-school tuition so they can compete with their global peers. What is the need to teach our kids' sex education? If anything, it will distract them from their studies and put wrong ideas in their heads. Well, actually, when we watch our children, what we see is a safe, simple world – our kids go to school, study, and do their extracurricular activities. In reality, there is a lot of turmoil going on inside the adolescent mind. Take an average adolescent girl in India – she gets little information on her menstrual cycle so feels confused and embarrassed every month on her period, regularly gets harassed on the street, and then goes to school and does not know if it’s ok or not ok to talk to the boy she likes in class. If she faces some sort of sexual abuse from her teacher, she’s scared that she will get blamed if she speaks up – and she does not even have the words to say what has happened to her. It’s a similar situation for the average adolescent boy. In addition, he is usually consuming a lot of pornography, shaping his perceptions about girls and women. Adolescents these days are actually battling deep insecurities, facing challenging social situations with no easy answers, and getting a flood of vulgar, sexist, and misleading information from the media, which is usually their only source of information about how to interact with the world. All of these factors are having a deep effect on our kids, and shaping them into the adults they will be in the future. How do we combat this to create young adults who are confident in who they are, understand how to interact with each other in healthy and respectful ways, and are staying safe? It’s hard to have these conversations with kids because we do not know exactly what they are facing or what to say to them. Contrary to what people think, that is exactly what sex education is. It is not about teaching children how to have sex – it is about informing them about what is happening in their bodies and also teaching them to make safe, healthy choices as they grow up. It is also about helping them understand that the messages that they are getting from Bollywood or pornography are not realistic and can be harmful. Instead, it is about helping them come to their own conclusions about what it means to be a successful, interesting boy or girl. Roles of Parents and Schools in Sex Education In this era, rapes are increasing daily. One of the reasons for it can be a lack of sex education. In India, we are not getting sex education as awkwardness and ignorance from parents as well as from school. Information regarding sex, pregnancy, and contraception should be provided to children and adolescents in an age-appropriate manner from parents and schools. For children, it is necessary to understand the difference between good touch and bad touch. Sex education is a complex topic so it has to be handled with care. And in this process schools can play a very vital role. Teens go to school to get an education and school is a huge factor in growing their mindset and shaping their future. So, if they got to know about sex education from their growing stage the whole scenario of rape in India can change. As they know what is wrong and what is right. Also, the family atmosphere is very important as children adopt many things from their homes. Parents have to listen to them and make them understand what it is and why we required it. Parents have to look after their child’s life what they are facing. Also having healthy talks with them and let them understand is important. Schools can have a special sex educator and conducting seminars can create a huge change. Kind of sex education to different types of age group Awareness The pediatrician should encourage early parental discussion with children at home about sexuality, contraception, and Internet and social media use that is consistent with the child’s and family’s attitudes, values, beliefs, and circumstances. •Gender wise type. Diverse family circumstances, such as families with same-sex parents or children who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or questioning, create unique guidance needs regarding sexuality education. •Stabilize Converse. Modeling ways to initiate talks about sexuality with children at pertinent opportunities, such as the birth of a sibling can encourage parents to answer children's questions fully and accurately. Parents and adolescents are encouraged to receive information from multiple sources, including health care providers and sexuality educators, about circumstances that are associated with earlier sexual activity. Adolescents are encouraged to feel empowered through discussing strategies that allow for practicing social skills, assertiveness, control, and rejection of unwanted sexual advances and cessation of sexual activity when the partner does not consent. •Proper Use- Discussions regarding healthy relationships and intimate partner violence can be effectively included in health care visits. Pediatricians are encouraged to acknowledge that sexual activity may be pleasurable but also must be engaged in responsibly. •Regulatory- Specific components of sexuality education offered in schools, religious institutions, parent organizations, and other community agencies vary based on many factors. The pediatrician can serve as a resource to each Ages wise- Age 2-5, in this age group parents can do like telling them about bad touch and good touch. Saying like this is not good and awarding them. Age 6-8, you as a parent should discuss with your child that how to use a digital world. Also, make them aware of the pornography world so that they don’t miss understand anything. Age 8 and 12, children often worry whether they're "normal" — particularly when it comes to penis size and breast size. Explain what happens during puberty for both boys and girls. Teenage, If you’ve established yourself as open to discussing those topics, “your kids are probably going to feel more comfortable talking to you and asking you questions,” says Thornhill. At this age, you should start interacting more with your child so that he/she can be on a good path with the help of sex education. Offer reassurance that children of the same age mature at different rates. Puberty might begin years earlier — or later — for some children, but eventually, everyone catches up. You might want to share experiences from your own development, particularly if you once had the same concerns that your child has now. Each thing has its own pros and cons. Similarly, sex education also has both. Let us look into it. Pros:- Sex education can also become the answer to many hormonal changes, which happens in the body. Sex education can also help to solve child sex abuse, as they will be aware of good touch and bad touch. It is good to teach them in school, as they will be having a guide, which can make them understand. If they are aware of it then they will not do any immature thing or the wrong thing. Cons:- Right now the teachers who are teaching at many schools they are not expert in this field. So there is a high risk, that students will get things wrong. And the wrong thing can be very much harmful. If sex education is not teaching properly, then a student can take it for granted or just not follow it. In most of the school sex education is not yet the primary subject so that’s also a reason, students won’t consider it to learn. Conclusion Helping kids understand that they have a gut, an inner voice, and they can and should listen to it, is a big part of what sex education is about,” says Silverberg. At the right time and in the right way sex education can be very helpful. It is necessary to keep a healthy conversation between parent and child. In addition, schools have a vital role as well. “Sex Education is as necessary as education and morals, for a better future.”
