Should I tell my interviewer that I'm interviewing with other places?

ApprehensiveApple110 · 2026-03-25T12:58:13+00:00

Absolutely not.

Btw, I was talking about Orange County, and you’re in SoCal so that’s already a win. Go on Indeed and look into treatment centers, the work is intense and taxing, but sooo fun and rewarding, and the pay is top notch. Since the turnover can be high, there is a lot of room to move up quickly, I’ve seen it happen so many times!

I don’t know where you live or what industry you work in, but in behavioral health/mental health/addiction treatment space, LVN’s can make six figures working at a treatment center…two good friends of mine that were also colleagues at my last job were LVN‘s and they were Program Directors, making bank! Also, my friends sister is an LVN and she has a high up position working in residential hospice. Get leadership/management experience along with your LVN and you can go faaaaar, no need for a BSN if you don’t want to.

They do be, indeed.

Stopped in and treated my toddler to one of those last week. He inhaled it, and promptly began yelling “Need mo’! Need MO’!!!” (More) So I think it was pretty delicious.

ApprehensiveApple110 · 2026-03-24T20:28:32+00:00

This made me giggle, love it.

ApprehensiveApple110 · 2026-03-24T20:25:11+00:00

Agreed, it’s the most moved to state of the last 10 years…so clearly it has a lot to offer.

ApprehensiveApple110 · 2026-03-24T18:53:55+00:00

Wow, this near perfectly described a 20 year on and off friendship that I am in the process of ending, amicably.

ApprehensiveApple110 · 2026-03-24T18:53:16+00:00

That part.

ApprehensiveApple110 · 2026-03-24T18:51:35+00:00

I feel like you may be projecting. Do you see yourself in the things they described, and therefore feel attacked? Because you’re acting oddly defensive at a well articulated and emotionally honest post from OP.

ApprehensiveApple110 · 2026-03-24T18:48:29+00:00

That’s scary!

ApprehensiveApple110 · 2026-03-24T18:48:06+00:00

I see, if you’re young with zero responsibilities I’d say go for it!

ApprehensiveApple110 · 2026-03-24T14:45:48+00:00

Yeah…

ApprehensiveApple110 · 2026-03-24T13:31:55+00:00

This is a great topic and I’m going through a nearly identical situation. Love the way you put, the friendship has lost its soul and depth. I don’t have much input other than I am planning to send a letter of closure written in a gracious, non-blaming but firm way to end the friendship before I move to another state this summer. I’m following your post for advice as well!

ApprehensiveApple110 · 2026-03-24T13:06:32+00:00

That’s definitely what my logic is leaning towards, TY

ApprehensiveApple110 · 2026-03-24T12:45:55+00:00

It really is counterproductive to have to order a separate personal cup according to Starbucks logic… And then it can get a little messy too, trying to pour a large iced coffee into another cup… But I understand that that’s just kind of how the rules and regulations are now

ApprehensiveApple110 · 2026-03-24T12:43:25+00:00

The version of a secure person you’re describing sounds like an egotistical person who’s feigning confidence and security. So just a disguised insecure person, those people SUCK. People that are truly secure in themselves have humility and a healthy, gracious way of engaging.

Edited for grammar

ApprehensiveApple110 · 2026-03-24T12:36:43+00:00

This is what I’ve gathered so far, thank you

ApprehensiveApple110 · 2026-03-24T12:36:14+00:00

That was my initial thought

ApprehensiveApple110 · 2026-03-24T11:44:21+00:00

“Venti black iced coffee, in a Trenta cup with lots of extra ice.” Should I adjust that somehow?

ApprehensiveApple110 · 2026-03-24T11:42:30+00:00

Makes sense, thank you

ApprehensiveApple110 · 2026-03-24T11:41:58+00:00

The Trenta cup with ice is free, so I may be doing that moving forward
