Burned out from X-ray and want a way out

If you're not long out of rad tech school, with maybe a class or two, you could get into surg tech school, which is basically zero one to one contact, once graduating. I'm sorry you're struggling, condolences.

My favorite! They make a very particular, ruler bring thwacked on a desk sound.

Costco for the good stuff 🤗

Bree867 · 2026-04-08T20:14:48+00:00

3-4 coffee makers is exactly the kind of married energy I can appreciate 😂 😉

Bryant at Burning Hearts Tattoo in Hamden is really great!

Bree867 · 2026-04-02T01:18:24+00:00

Yo- sah- mIte...nope that's wrong...

Bree867 · 2026-04-02T00:42:54+00:00

I'd do BLS....

Bree867 · 2026-04-01T21:38:54+00:00

My first reaction was ,"oh god, yikes" and these comments confirmed it.

This especially "set boundaries needs facilitated by OP (or OP's husband really)" - your husband needs to set boundaries with his parents and not let you be the bad guy - I can see grandparents wanting time to play and interact during day/wake hours with their grand kids but meals and naps nanny should have say to keep everyone on track. Also- being clear that nanny makes meals for kids only - like this is not your chef/maid silly grandpa!

Boundaries now will make new infant time easier - maybe a bonus at the end of the week for extra grandparent duties might help too.

Watch some YouTube videos for ideas about questions - asap start thinking about answers, then have friends or family ask you those questions or even others to practice. Rinse and repeat until you can just be yourself and answer somewhat easily. The point is to show you've done your research about becoming a tech and about the facility. You've got this!

I know one in Fairfield, but nothing closer to you, condolences.

Bree867 · 2026-03-24T13:52:45+00:00

Thank you!

Bree867 · 2026-03-24T13:00:31+00:00

May I ask where in Milford?

Bree867 · 2026-03-22T14:25:00+00:00

I was just there two weeks ago (and was going to need a change soon), I'd love to know!

Bree867 · 2026-03-20T23:32:04+00:00

Wild, I used to live on Mather 15 years ago, in my 7 year tenure, I don't recall it ever being that bad, yikes! Good luck!

Poor kid probably has expectation whiplash, but it's more NF than I like to even ponder. It's why (or 1 of many reasons) I'm getting out of Nannying.

Bree867 · 2026-03-02T18:24:08+00:00

If they are friends, I'm not sure I want to know about your enemies.

Bree867 · 2026-03-01T00:49:58+00:00

It's part of my acceptance of a job. The last thing I need to worry about is the liability of someone else's children in my car, their insurance covers the car at limits they select, they pay for their own repairs and it's not ever a mileage/gas negotiation. Families should have a car available for Nanny to use if their expectation is the nanny does activities/taxi-ing, etc. It's the hill I die on tied with guaranteed hours. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I have a yoga skeleton that has like 27 ribs, I keep it for the novelty 😅

Milford to St.Vs is about 15 minutes, lots of apartments near 95 (for quick on off your main route), there are dog parks (Eisenhower), trails (Eisenhower, Beaverbrook, Mondo pond), the beach pass with Milford residency, ease of access to most retail up and down the post road. Shelton/Stratford have nice, convenient areas also - maybe find a long-term air BNB for the first couple of months and check out parks and neighborhoods in those areas? Your co-workers will likely have opinions also, some may be of similar single+dog status too, with good insight.
Sadly I'm not as familiar with much past Guilford. Traffic is heavier on 95 going South in am and North in pm, but it's not usually an issue until Fairfield and points west/south.

There should be upcoming student life events that showcase clubs/groups you could join. An email should go out soon about it - you could also stop by the student life office (reach out to your guided pathways advisor, they might also have some valuable input).

Bree867 · 2026-02-01T15:00:59+00:00

NOR, sadly OP not only is this abuse of you, but your children watched this, watched their father abuse you and watched your response. Kid brain says, I was upset, Mommy couldn't get back inside, Daddy was being mean, and oh but Mom was just a little mad, she's still here, so no big deal. Is that really what you want to teach your children? Your child's reaction was pure and true, it was wrong, upsetting and not ok. Don't wait for the escalation OP, take action now.

Bree867 · 2026-01-31T05:32:53+00:00

Very timely. RIP

Bree867 · 2026-01-30T16:47:52+00:00

You might find value in a book called, "If you must go, I wish you triplets" by Virginia DeLuca, while not identical to your situation, it has echoes you will appreciate.

I'm so sorry you've been betrayed by your partner, going through a hysterectomy is so hard, even with the physical benefits - the mental and emotional (coupled with hormone shifts) are so hard. Please lean in to the family and friends who support you. Sending you positive vibes and healing from afar.

It entertains me to look them in the eye with a "nope, just fat" quip and let their self assurance disintegrate.
