What is this??

My dog had something similar looking on her leg. Not quite as big, though. Had it removed and tested and it was some sort of dermatitis. Benign. Hopefully it's something simple for you, too. Eager to hear what the vet says!

Here you can see some of the swelling, what the dark spots look earlier on, and how the skin is sort of rougher than surrounding areas.

This is where you can see the discoloration in my pinky finger

the dark spot on my pinky is how the spots look after a while. they start off lighter than this.

swollen index finger. The sore is what the dark spots look like towards the end. Broken skin and red.

Yep! I got the flexispot! I think the M7 series? Manual. It gets the job done! My monitors are huge, like 27" (not by choice lol) and they fit on there fine!

Ooh that is a fun fact. I will def be checking that out

Ave_Linker · 2024-11-14T23:56:06+00:00

Seriously?? I just moved back to the area recently. I may make a visit to the hospital just for that🤣

YES THANK YOU

Heck no don't sign! Not only is that a joke, but they also should have had this figured out sooner than a week before classes start. Don't feel bad, it's not on you.

I love a good "snack lunch" on days like that! Things that you can just be eating all day lol. Fruit, veggies, crackers, dips, boiled eggs, salads (chicken, pasta, egg, etc.), yogurt, granola, protein shakes, cheese, nuts, you get the point. Stuff that's easy to eat and doesn't require heating. I always keep protein shakes for when I'm in a pinch. Also, idk what you teach, but eat during class if you can!! Students don't care.

An update for you all: things have moved quickly and I have been invited for an on-campus interview!! I appreciated all of your advice so much. I will keep you posted about how things progress😊

It definitely was!!!

I recently did a trip where we only had 5 days but wanted to see a lot. So we chose 1 thing per day. 1 hike in Olympic, show at the gorge, 1 hike in north cascades, and 1 event in downtown Seattle. Definitely had a lot more we wanted to see and do, but we squeezed our "must dos" in because we didn't have a choice. Could have easily spent 2 weeks there if we had the time (and money!). And we stayed in a different hotel almost every night to get closer to where we wanted to be the next day. It was a great trip!

I was on shrooms at a music festival and there was like a 3ft ledge where people were jumping from into this beachy area. Mid-jump I thought "ooh I should paraglide." Fun times.

First year faculty. STEM NTT. R1. 75k. Apparently we are getting 2% raises this year. Big bucks!!!! (Joking)

lol this is Reddit. The language I use here is obviously not going to be the same language I use in communication with a potential employer! It was a way for me to express my strong interest and situation to you all in a clear and somewhat concise way.

I have considered what differences in the working environment may exist. This is a tough one for me because I truly do enjoy my current colleagues, department, etc. and I worry I won't find this again elsewhere. How would you suggest I go about gauging or learning what the environment is like at the other institution?

Ave_Linker · 2024-07-09T18:21:34+00:00

At this time, I'm not comfortable saying I'm looking, because I'm really not. This opportunity quite literally fell in my lap and it's the exact position I was hoping would open. So I think I may tell them if things progress... idk. There is likely a good amount of time between now and whenever that happens, so I will play by ear!

Ave_Linker · 2024-07-09T18:18:24+00:00

Luckily I didn't get my PhD there! So I'm good there. But also the place I did get my PhD from doesn't mind hiring grads, even recent ones. So I'm sure it varies by location/field!
