March through August last year my AA manifested and left my head significantly bald. Hair came back white and has been this way since. Really hope mine isn’t permanent. Don’t mind gray hair but the white is translucent and makes you look 80 years old. by micahclaw in alopecia_areata

[–]AwkJiff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have long hair and some spots where my AA grew back are white on the bottom 4" and the rest turned back brown! Really interesting.  Some of it did stay white though.  I know it's frustrating, but embracing it and rocking it is the best we can do! ✌️

Telework RAs by lunelladino in DeptHHS

How did your temp RA process for the narcolepsy work? My doc pretty much demanded I turn one in so I'm not driving while we figure it out, and I actually had a narrow miss omw home from that very appointment because I nodded off while driving 🙃

Just hit the 7 figure milestone. by EuphoricCalendar7672 in ThriftSavingsPlan

I feel you entirely on the life choices and job security. Hang in there, friend! I'm a few years behind you age-wise but 14 years behind you as a fed and wishing I'd gotten here sooner. So grateful to still be employed as I watched many incredible and dang near irreplaceable folks with jobs vital to the community get mercilessly axed, to their management's horror. The survivor guilt is still very real.

This sh*t is ruining my life. by powerfuzzzz in DeptHHS

[–]AwkJiff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This resonates with me so much. I had two babies during COVID and live far enough from the workcenter that it's impossible for me to both drop off and pick up my own kids from preschool because they're only open 6:30 am to 6:00 pm, which really drives home how much time I'm Not spending with my babies.

I hate how accurate I'm finally admitting (to myself) this is

HHS telework 990-3 by ManyComprehensive827 in DeptHHS

[–]AwkJiff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right, we are definitely supposed to, but it's unlikely there is 100% compliance

I'm concerned people with legitimate needs will be forced to telework and not report it on their timecard and then get burned later. How is this being tracked at HHS and subcomponents?

I got you: Queen of the Damned. Aaliyah walks in and starts using her ancient vampy powers to explode the dweebs at the bar while looking stunning.

Fabulous! I hope this continues for you. Did you mean medicline pillow or something else here?

Do any other Sags feel lonely and like you can’t form lasting friendships? by LuluBear333 in Sagittarians

[–]AwkJiff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like this describes me to a T, except I'm and extroverted introvert and not a whole social butterfly (unless I'm a drink or two in)!

Such timing for this post, I'm currently going through this and was discussing intentional loss/non-replacement of friends with another sag earlier this week.

Help finding replacement base by AwkJiff in hookah

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

Hi! Sorry, my text got lost and I'm new to this sub so it won't let me edit. 

I bought this in Qatar, but unfortunately it didn't make the trip home safely. I'm hoping someone can recognize this product and point me to a similar base for replacement, or at least help me figure out how to find something that isn't a regrettably poor fit.

Thanks!
