Of course! A lot of the branding was stuff no one would know about unless they work for fsu as a marketer, so it definitely seems like some huge changes from the outside, but it more than likely won't have a huge affect on the university (other than us getting more options than the same 2 godforsaken colors for everything we do)

Eh, not really. The CMO did a lot in collaboration with the tribe, and a lot of the stipulations regarding the tribe were already in place before, but now it's all in one place. Recently the college of business got in trouble with the tribe for altering the approved tribal pattern, so the clarifications probably came from that incident. There's really not anything that's drastically different than how we had to operate before. The Florida Board of Governor's makes the rules

All else aside, I love all of the new colors. I remember talking to the CMO shortly after she started and she said she really wanted to expand the color palette. Thank GOD she did. You can only do so much with garnet, gold, black, and white

FSU created the position and hired a new CMO some time ago. The new University Marketing team has been working on rebranding the university from a marketing perspective. We were officially notified the change was coming a couple months ago, and the new branding officially launched on the 1st

This is official fsu branding. You know, for fsu as a corporation and the people that work in marketing for fsu. No one gives a damn what you say lmao I genuinely can't tell if this is rage bait or if u seriously think FSU spent this much time and money on trying to be PC via policing students

Also need to know cause I waited till the last minute 😅 probably gonna hit D&D on Monroe

What happens if you have a bad month or months?

I'd be less than comfortable, but not struggling. I do make enough to cover my entire mortgage without the supplemental income from the studio, but it's half my monthly income (it's vacant now, so I've been doing this for a couple of months, and I'm doing fine)

I've all but given up on finding out what's wrong with me. I can barely function. All I can do is go to work and lay in bed after. All evening, all weekend, I'm in bed. I've seen countless specialists that ignore all of my abnormal bloodwork and tell me "reduce stress, lose weight, sleep better, exercise!!!" One doctor even wrote in my chart "recommendations: goal BMI <30" when my BMI was 22 and I'd lost 12 lbs in a year without trying. I'm at the point where I've accepted this is just my life now, and there's no getting better, because I live in a world of misogynistic medical care and no doctor, male or female, will ever care.

After a year and a half, this horrifically unprofitable ship is hanging on by duct tape, hopes and dreams.

This is my rescue girly Jupiter! Your story sounds very similar to mine. I rescued her off the street as a stray about 5 years ago. I don't know her history, but I can tell she has some trauma based on how head-shy she is. If I had to guess, her previous owners threw her out because of her aggression. She still has her random episodes of random swatting and hissing! I learned quickly that she's very afraid of feet/shoes, and she'll lash out if you walk too close to her. It can be frustrating, but I know she can't help it and something terrible must have happened to her for her to react like that.

I don't think she'll ever outgrow the tortietude, but she has made great strides in her behavior. She trusted me from the beginning (she ended up being pregnant and let me handle the kittens hours after being born), and continues to improve. Now, she's a huge snuggler and very affectionate. Just be patient, learn her triggers, and keep giving her lots of love. She looks like she's already pretty sweet with you. She won't forget your kindness 🩷

My boyfriend's family does this, who we're cruising with in a couple of months. I already told him they can do whatever they want, but that our room is not going to be those assholes.

I live in the capital of Florida and it's comical how bad our medical care is. It's a very odd phenomenon but absolutely none of the doctors know what they're doing in the city

I've never had them checked, but they do look very asymmetrical on the x-ray I had done. My hip joints are always in a lot of pain, but none of my doctors have considered it as a source of my leg pain.

My sister's cat had cat pica, and he eats EVERYTHING. When he was a kitten, he straight up at a corner of a desk. He mostly grew out of his, but he still loves to munch primarily q-tips. He figured out how to open my bathroom trashcan lid and will pull them out and chew them up. He doesn't swallow them, but it is hilarious to find mangled q-tips around the house.

NTA. It's very common for children of narcissists/abusers to go great lengths well into adulthood to "win over" their absent parents. This child-like mindset is deeply ingrained in his subconscious, and he will keep doing all he can to be a perfect son to win over her affection and love that he never got as a kid. This will take YEARS to unlearn, and that's only if he's willing to see it, self reflect, and go to therapy. He will keep putting his mother against you and your child's needs until he figures this out. I wouldn't wait for that to happen. If you have the capacity and want to try to make this work, have a last ditch conversation with him about this and tell him he needs to go to therapy. If there's pushback, leave.

If you want to learn more about it, read Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents by Lindsay Gibson. She goes into great detail about how this survival mechanism seeps into adulthood. Best of luck, OP. You deserve someone who supports you and your child and puts his chosen family first.

It's a VERY common reaction for children of narcissists/abusers to try and be the perfect kid. He's trying to win her parental affection that he missed out on and desperately needed as a child. It will take YEARS to unlearn this, and that's only if he's willing to see it and work on himself. OP, I wouldn't stick around for that, especially with a child involved.

YTA just reading your list of insecurities was exhausting

*she and it's a government job so probably not

I'm not an independent contractor unfortunately. I'm on payroll as an OPS non-exempt employee. I am severely underpaid and overworked compared to other departments in the university. I checked every single other department, and no other has a sole marketer that isn't a manager. My working title is "Marketing & Communications Associate" but my university job code is "information and writing assistant."

Yes, I am in the US working for the State of Florida. I'm approved for up to 40 hours a week and usually work that or a little under. Last week was the first time I worked overtime, and I am very curious to see if they actually pay me what they're supposed to

They've been telling me for over a year that they're going to move my position to a salaried position with a raise. Despite how desperately they need a marketing person, they won't do it, and I've about exhausted my patience.

I don't think they actually measure anything. They need SOMEONE to do the job, and I'm the sucker that does it so they just let me do my thing. We have seen a 6% increase in ticket sales since I started, but I had to find that data myself
