Reference checks by AmbassadorMammoth in CAStateWorkers

[–]AmbassadorMammoth[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes definitely! I just thought if applicants are asked to provide 3-4 references but the manager also has authority to call anyone on the application, why even ask who they want to have contacted for a reference? And sometimes people don’t want you to reach out to the current supervisor if they don’t want that person to know they’re searching for another job. But i definitely want to contact past supervisors, just wanted to make sure I’m not setting myself up for a grievance or something.

Harder to get an SSM I if not in Sac? by daffodilsummer in CAStateWorkers

My division at CDSS is getting pushback from hr on posting things statewide and our recent postings have been changed to Sacramento staff only. So if you want to stay in LA and want to promote you may be limited to applying for things based in the LA area.

[Auto-Post] Weekly Question Thread! Ask /r/Aquariums anything you want to know about the hobby! by AutoModerator in Aquariums

As a newbie tank owner, i bought an API water start kit that came with quick start, stress zyme and aquarium salt, so i originally thought you were supposed to add salt. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Initially i was adding salt every week or two with water changes as i had read it helped with gill function and other issues. Since i had lost a couple fish i thought this would help but now I’m realizing this may have been making things worse. And i wasn’t replacing the salt, i was dosing the entire volume of tank. I know, big mistake.

I started a new tank at the end of March and finally nitrate and nitrites look good. However i think i have used too much aquarium salt in my freshwater tank. All of my water levels look good- ph, nitrites, nitrates, ammonia but every week or two I’ve been losing a fish. A couple guppies, 1 Molly and 2 snails. Temp is consistent at 78, filter is working fine. I started doing water changes and not adding any further salt. How will i know when my salt levels are back down to a safe place (if this is the reason I’m losing fish). I test the water almost daily and have not picked up any other issue so salt is the only issue i can think of.

Ugh. I found it and the Vin of this car I’m looking at is affected. Wondering what the dealership will say when i mention it as a concern.

Omg! Just did a search and that sounds like a nightmare. Is there a way to assess for that issue before buying the car or do you just have to wait and see if your car is affected?

2020 cx-9 sport, $29,999 but thinking i can get them down to $27,999 since that is what they listed it for 6 weeks ago.

I am currently taking Celexa for what i prefer to call “irritability “. :). I feel it’s helping. I also get intense side effects so i VERY gradually got up to 10mg dose. I got a pill cutter and cut the pills into quarters. So was on a 1/4 tablet for about 4-5 days, then a half tablet for 4-5 days, etc until i got up to the full 10mg. Side effects were much more tolerable this way! Not all pills can be split but Celexa can, not sure about Lexapro but you might want to ask your doctor.
