2025.01.22 21:00 Kind_Address_8662 AcqDemo ACDP and pay raise question
Im an NH02 (business/technical broadband). Just finished my first 6 month ACDP. I got an excellent review and was told to keep exceeding expectations. That being said, my pay raise was 2%. From what I’m reading, that’s pretty low considering I did well, no? I do get that I’m eligible for 2 pay raises a year essentially, but I did the math, and by the time I hit NH03 (at the end of the third year of the program I’m in), I still wouldn’t be at the max pay rate for my broadband assuming the same GPI every January and same 2% every 6 months.
Don’t get me wrong, my salary is still decent bc of locality pay, but given that the range of salary increase is 0%-10%, and I’m not near the cap, I am questioning if this is the usual raise %. I figure at least for now I don’t have much bargaining power as I’m still new, despite excellent performance, but I wanted to get input of those that are more familiar with the NH broadbands and ACDP raises.

2025.01.22 21:00 SunnyScripts [A4A] Your Partner Calls You on Their Way Home [Established Relationship] [Rambling] [Domestic] [Phone Call] [Waiter Speaker] [Post-Work Gossip]
You’re free to use/monetize/paywall; I just request credit and a link to listen to it. This, and all my work, are available on Scriptbin if that's more accessible!
Tagline: If I never get out of this traffic, know that I loved you.
Tone: Occasionally distracted, casually affectionate, familiar
Word Count: 2,301; ~22 - 24 minutes
Setting; SFX: in a car on the commute home; car running, occasional honking, optional quiet muzak
[We hear the beepbeepbeep and then the ring of a phone call and then the click of that call being picked up.]
(Phone-typical distortion) Hey, baby! I’m just calling to let you know I’m on the road and heading home to you.
[Laugh]
I know, at a reasonable hour, before the boogeymen and drunks walk the streets. Isn’t it fucking brilliant? Turns out my shift today was on the event team, waiting on this huge wedding reception who had booked the banquet hall since noon. When they ended their night, they ended mine, and what a good night it was: easy work, happy people, and good tips.
More leftovers than you could fucking believe. We’re going to eat like royalty for the next- what, three days? It wasn’t just dinner leftovers either; they gave me some wedding cake, even a bottle of wine! I hope they have the happiest marriage and greatest sex till death do them part.
[Laugh]
I said it was a good night; I never said it was peaceful. What story do you want to hear first: the sister-in-law in the white ballgown, the unlikely couple in dry storage, or what happened in the alley during everyone’s vape break? Pick your poison.
[Laugh]
(Affectionate) That’s what I thought you’d pick, you gossipy motherfucker. You’ve been watching too many “Am I the Asshole” videos out on YouTube, but you’re my gossipy motherfucker, and I’ll love you. Okay, so the reception and dinner hasn’t started yet; it’s cocktail hour. I’m being debonair and charming, doing my job, bringing around blinis and drinks, when a woman in a white ball gown comes through the door. I, reasonably, given this is your standard western wedding, assume this is the bride. I assume people will start to greet her, maybe to cheer, to generally be happy to see her on her and his husband’s happy day.
I assume wrong. The room, which has almost a hundred guests in it at this point, hushes to a dead silence. You could have heard a pin drop or-
(Distracted and mildly irritated, aside) Dude, go. I am gesturing with my hand making it obvious you can go... I don’t think this guy knows how to go, babe. I’m just going to-
Then gooooo, oh my god.
(No longer irritated, already forgot about it, direct) Anyway. It’s crazy quiet. You could have heard a fly fart. Either this isn’t the bride or she has terrible relationships with her friends and family and they all want her to choke on a canapé. So the maid of honor— I know her because she and the wedding planner were helping us set tables and arrange chairs, very nice lady— walks up to her like a fury out of hell. I’m surprised she didn’t leave flames where she walked, very scary for a woman wearing a baby pink bridesmaid dress. She verbally eviscerates the bride imposter, and I, having been told to stay near the front door to offer refreshments to the incoming guests, have the privilege of hearing basically everything.
I know. God, I love my job.
I won’t and for two reasons. One, the dressing down she gave her was truly fucking brutal. Two, a significant portion was in another language that was spoken too fast for me to even identify. I didn’t understand a lot of the words the maid of honor said, but they were said with such hatred that the meaning was clear.
She did cry, and I didn’t have it in me to feel bad… too bad anyway.
That’s not even the best part! So, I’m right there as this is happening. I’m maybe three feet away from them with my tray of appetizers and special wedding cocktail concocted by the couple, a cocktail loaded with grenadine.
You get me, you immediately know what’s going on. So I, with my weapons of alcoholic destruction, step closer to be a good server, to be helpful, and the maid of honor takes a glass and dumps it down the front of the other lady’s white dress.
It was glorious. I-
(Offhand, trying not to look at the cop car) Helloooo, officers. Don’t mind me and any possible illegal things I may be doing or have in my possession. I possess nothing.
What is it about driving next to the police that makes me consider everything I’ve done in my life? My alcohol is in the trunk and sealed. My tags are up to date. My hands are at ten and two, but I saw them and I was like “the five-o are coming for me, let’s engage in a high speed car chase.”
I won’t, I promise. The food would get all jumbled up back there, and the police would probably take it when they catch and arrest me, the assholes.
Okay, they just turned off the exit. I live to commit crimes another day. Where was I?
Right! The bloodied, no longer white monstrosity. She screeched, stamped her foot even. You ever seen a full grown woman stamp her feet and storm off like she’s throwing a temper tantrum? It was both hilarious and wild. Then we all got to watch as she was escorted off the property by security. They hired security knowing this would happen; can you believe how lucky I am?
[Laugh]
Yeah, the word around the kitchen is that she’s some spurned ex-girlfriend who wanted to wedding crash. The really funny part is no one can decide on whose thunder she was trying to steal? She apparently dated the bride and the groom?
I know, right? There’s never a dull day in the service industry, and I fucking love it.
The happy couple never even saw her. They didn’t show up until fifteen minutes after she was gone. The other word around the kitchen is that they were late to their own reception, shall we way, consummating the marriage in the back of their limo.
[Laugh]
Yes. Isn’t it romantic in the weirdest way? And beautiful?
(Aside) Ugh, not you though! You are butt fuckin’ ugly and an affront unto God and my eyeballs! God!
(Direct) Baby, is there anything worse than being on a nice drive, than heading home you share with the love of your life, and seeing a goddamn, eyesore cybertruck?
No, but you see, if I lost my eyes, the cybertrucks couldn’t hurt me anymore. At least, unless I put a finger on the seam of the trunk hatch. Baby, this truck is covered in glitter.
Looking again, it might be rhinestones, sequins, something that no car, especially one so misshapen and ugly, should be covered in. Neon yellow sequins. It’s like a highlighter and Satan had a baby whose only purpose was to ruin my day and be a road hazard… but mostly the ruin my day part.
Those can’t be good for the finish of the car. That has to be a bad idea on so many levels.
What was I talking about again?
Right, romance. Gossip. Sex. God, can you believe who I caught making it in dry goods storage?
Lindsay. Lindsay and the mother of the bride. And you know I’m not one to slut-shame, you know I’m not, but why the pantry? Where all of us go in and out to get ingredients? Near and on the shelves of food? Lindsay is a health code violation all of her own, and I respect her game, but can’t she take her game home? Away from the kitchen?
You can’t tattle on me; I’m not saying anything now that I haven’t said to her face. Yelled even, several times, while her latest… dalliance watches.
[Laugh]
I was going to say conquest, but that felt gross, very Andrew Tate. I landed on dalliance. It’s got a charm to it.
Oh, I’m sure you’ll hear all about it the next time we get drinks. You know Lin is the kiss and tell type. I don’t know how we don’t get more jilted lovers at the host stand, the way we’ve got our own in-house Casanova.
That’s a good point honestly. The next time I talk to Maggie, I’ll have to ask. She’s been the main hostess since Terry and his wife had their baby.
We’ve been asking him to come out, but they’ve been baby-blissed out to all hell, totally in their own little family world. It’d be cute if they’d let us come over and meet the little dude!
Of course you could come, you know they love you. We’ll make something for them to eat, cookies or something like that, though everyone from the restaurant will probably be doing the same thing.
They’re good, good as can be expected. That new girl, Juniper, called out today. She said she was sick, but everyone knows she skipped because she had Sabrina Carpenter tickets. It’s okay though, none of us blame her. I heard someone made Josh cry. He’s new, so that was bound to happen, but that doesn’t mean any of us are happy about it, you know? I thought Terry was really going to start a fight and that Kwan wasn’t going to stop him.
Hell hath no fury like a dishwasher scorned is right. Kwan eventually did calm him down, but I think he had to let Josh cut early and kick out that table. That reminds me, I’ll have to shoot him a text once I get home, maybe offer to take him out for a closing drink soon.
Shoot, I should have checked if there was any food left for him.
Ehh, I’m sure there is. Robin would never forget about a newbie; they’re so soft for someone that yells and stomps around the kitchen so much.
[Laugh]
Please, please don’t tell them I called them soft! They’ll give me the smallest portions for family meal and cook all my steaks wrong! Don’t do that to me!
Can’t I bribe you with food? Delicious, free albeit lukewarm food?
Anything you could possibly want, baby! It was a-fucking-mazing… weird wedding. We catered, but they arranged it so other places delivered catering trays, so we have this insane cornucopia selection of chicken parmesan, prime rib, mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, challah, lumpia, jollof rice, char siu bao, tamales, the fucking works. It smells so good but so confusing in my car right now!
[Laugh]
I know! I wasn’t kidding when I said more leftovers than you could believe. I think I’ve got three full catering trays in my trunk, but it wouldn’t surprise me if the mother of the groom snuck another one in there. I think the family and wedding party had a soft spot for me after the whole grenadine incident.
They were so nice, baby! What sweet people. You know, I think I heard them talking to Kwan about sending Christmas cards to the restaurant, like we’re another member of the family and not the restaurant where they held their reception. Really nice people. The couple are going to Antarctica for their honeymoon; isn’t that crazy?
I heard them talking about it when they were making the rounds to their guests. You’ve got to take a flight to South America just to get on a cruise! And then they camp in the tundra in tents and everything. Doesn’t that sound fun? We should do that for our honeymoon.
[Laugh]
Of course I’m giving you a honeymoon, baby. Why do you think I work all these hours and charm the tips out of all these people if not to give us a stellar fucking honeymoon?
It doesn’t matter that we’re not engaged yet; we’re going to be. I’ve got a plan, details, a surprise to concoct, and you said that when I do, you’re saying yes. No take-backs!
A lot of things go into a proposal, baby! Rings need to be ordered and custom-made, family flown in, doves and butterflies outsourced and rented by the hour. I’m plotting!
[Laugh]
It’s coming, and it’s coming when you least expect it, beautiful. That’ll be part of the fun!
Yeah, but I’m your asshole, and soon enough, I’ll be your asshole till death do we part.
You love me so much, you can hardly stand it.
If that’s the case, maybe I’ll take my bounty of wedding food somewhere else! How would you like that, smartass?
[Laugh]
That’s what I thought, dickhead.
We probably don’t need any food, but I’m about to pass by the store. Do we need anything else for the house?
Thank god, because it smells amazing in here, and it’s killing me to not tuck into any before I can share with you.
Of course I’m waiting to share. You and I both know this’ll taste best when we’re together; there’s no point otherwise. Besides, I wanted to have it with you and the wine.
Tamales and wine sounds like a great combo! Good food and good drink will always go well together, especially when paired with good company and maybe good entertainment. Do you wanna watch more Grey’s Anatomy? I know we were initially hate watching it, but I’m genuinely invested in the lives of these horny ass medical interns with their STDs and questionable ethics.
Cool– a perfect night with my perfect person.
I’m pulling up to the driveway now– do you think you could come out and help me with the trays?
Alright, see you in a second! Love you!
[There is a kiss followed by a click and the sound of the line going dead. Then the car stops running, and a car door opens. There is another kiss but not over the phone.]
Come see!
[There’s footsteps and the ka-chaa of the car trunk opening.]
(Giddy) Right? I wasn’t kidding! Look at all this fucking food!

2025.01.22 21:00 tollianne Do you have a soft spot for Slovaks?
I’ve noticed that Hungarians care a lot about their relations with Slovaks in particular, more so than with other countries, and wish for these relations to improve. What is the reason for favoring Slovaks over, for example, Romanians and Serbs? Are Slovaks viewed in a more favorable light, and if so, why? Is there something to it or is my perception wrong?

This is a recurring megathread that will be reposted every month. Any posts made outside of this thread will be removed to prevent clutter in the subreddit. We also encourage you to use the search function as your question may have already been answered before.
Prospective SLPs looking for general advice or questions about the field: post here! Actually, first use the search function, then post here. This doesn't preclude anyone from posting more specific clinical topics, tips, or questions that would make more sense in a single post, but hopefully more general items can be covered in one place.
Everyone: try to respond on this thread if you're willing and able. Consolidating the "is the field right for me," "will I get into grad school," "what kind of salary can I expect," or homework posts should limit the same topics from clogging the main page, but we want to make sure people are actually getting responses since they won't have the same visibility as a standalone post.
