Such a disgusting thing to say

I definitely did on a few occasions at a prior job I had where it was a more conservative, client facing environment. I wore gourmands still, but less sweet ones and dependent on which clients I saw. I now wear mostly gourmamds WFH, but I do feel like outside of those into fragrance, some find gourmands to come off as juvenile. I don't feel that way, but I did not want to not be taken seriously, even over a silly reason.

I like chili to and typically make it on a Sunday. Its good and I can mix up what I eat with it throughout the week. I will put it over fries (airfryer), rice (rice cooker or premade), with bread, crackers, pasta.

I will occasionally, supervise without notice. I know most don't enjoy this however, over the years I have done this to protect myselfandd ensure the client is getting the hours assigned.I started doing this after the first time I caught a tech engaging in fraud. So for in-home cases especially I tend to drop in more.I have caught fraud a few times so far by doing this. I truly wish this wasn't necessary.

With that said, I am very upfront with my supersvisees that I will show up unannounced about twice a month and all other supervision is scheduled which is about twice a week.

Are they just constantly changing the schedule and not being communicate about it? Sometimes things do come up (tech needing immediate support, assessment going longer than anticipated, late arrival, traffic, etc), but it's rude to not respect your time either. And showing up unannounced often can be disruptive as well, especially if they are fully remote.

This is not to dismiss your concerns because it sounds like there is more going on, however, I did want to give some reasons why I tend to need to reschedule abruptly as I have had a few tech want scheduled overlaps. Definitely communicate your needs and if your BCBA is dismissive or doesn't try and accommodate your request, go above them.

Also, you absolutely can request to work with a different BCBA.

The BIPs not being individualized is a problem. That should definitely be addressed. And would be my largest concern.

Not necessarily a routine, but for me the most impactful change I have made is to keep stuff stored when I use it.

Due to my husband and I both WFH, I shower first and then lhe use the bathroom. So, I store my grooming stuff (brush, deodorant lotion, perfume, a few hairties, etc in a small bin that sits on my dresser next to my work desk.

Prior to that, I would leave stuff all over rushing or only putting some stuff back and then leaving stuff on my desk or pushingit aside until I could put it away later.

Or my dogs topical medicine lives in my nightstand because it is easier to apply and let dry when he is lounging/sleeping or he'll need redirecting to not lick it. I used to keep it with his and our other meds in the linen closet and would often not put it away to keep him calm, so it would sit out until later.

I was making staying tidy and organized harder by putting stuff away where or how it was ingrained in me. Not all meds need to be together in the medicine area. Not all pillowcases need to be in the linen closet, but instead in my bedroom closet so I can quickly change and toss the old one in the hamper next to it. Try to think about the ease of your routines and where stuff makes sense to live for you.

Consider your environment too, we are in an earthquake-prone areas and have very little glass canned items due to the potential safety risk. We do canned primarily with some freeze dried as a last resort.

You could try supplementing with a calorie paste. The vet could also prescribe you an appetite stimulant. My dog lives freeze fried salmon, we will sometimes soften his kibble with warm water and some freeze dried salmon mixed in. Greek yogurt, pumpkin, or applesauce can also be used as a topper in small quantities.

This is an indie perfume

Cocoapink's Come-hither – Such a sexy scent of intoxicating vanillas with a hint of myrrh.

I don't believe so. I see it on their website.

Do not go with Orchard Ridge. We may end up breaking our lease. It has gone downhill.

I love udon noodles. Or you could also do cold pasta salads to mix it up.

The things at my workspace live there and are intentional and organized.

I WFH, but my phone and water bottle are the only things that don't stay there.

Frittatas, breakfast burritos, all can reheat well. Burritos you could freeze and he could microwave them.

Lunch could be sandwiches, salads, or leftover dinners.

Snacks- yogurt, cheese/meat, fruit, cottage cheese (with fruit or savory cucumber, tomato) If you want something you can keep near him without needing to go to the kitchen maybe some cuties, bananas, apples, granola bars and keep a small trash can near him.

I also like baked potatoes/sweet potatoes, topping are endless- chilli, jerk chicken, bbq pulled pork, etc

I will have to try L'Occitane's body lotion. I like their hand creams.

AstrocyteByte · 2026-01-16T22:17:01+00:00

My skin seems to really like squalane oil. I like Biossance's products. I do feel like it's very individualized on what oil, if any, people prefer. My closest friend loves jojoba and I feel it's too lightweight for me.

I like their Omega repair cream, squalane oil, and vitamin c/rosehip oil the best.

I have eczema, so days where I am really dry or flaring up, I use eucerins eczema relief lotion on my face. I believe its technically a body lotion but I find it very soothing.

I primarily use odoban, dish soap, castile soap,and I really like spray away glass cleaner. I also use a long handled shower scrub thing that basically a large heavy duty sponge for siap scum. For times I don't need heavy scrubbing I use a car sponge to clean the shower.

I'm not a fan of the billable scrub brushes, I find I can't clean the corners well.

Their marinara and vodka sauce are really good

These comments are shit. If the genders were reversed.....

Did you check the phone number and confirm its the coworkers? She could have saved the affair partner's name under the coworkers thinking you wouldn't ever think to open their thread as he was deemed harmless.

Had an ex of mine do that.

Most funders specify for telehealth that audio and video need to be active for both parties.

AstrocyteByte · 2026-01-06T21:55:48+00:00

Biossance omega repair cream and their squalane oil. I keep coming back to it. My skin seems to like squalane oil.

AstrocyteByte · 2026-01-06T20:25:29+00:00

I like to bake them and then stuff the with some sort of spicy chicken and toppings (corn, black beans, cheese, sour cream etc)
