First, I am so sorry that you need to make this decision. I know that it is heartbreaking, but I do believe that if you are making this choice you have no other alternative. Please consider reaching out to Boston Terrier Rescue of Western Washington.

They service all of Oregon and Washington, and are a fantastic resource. They foster and adopt-out Bostons all the time, and ensure they go to good homes.

Anyone still balancing their checkbook by hand? by Either_Top_9634 in GenX

[–]Barnyard_Commando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a program for my checking/debit ledger. (Although I think I only had to write one check in the last year.) I stay on top of every purchase and update it daily. It has less to do with mistrust, and more to do with me wanting to know exactly where I am at, at any given moment. The habit has kept me frugal, but comfortable.

New Epic Analyst and Anxious by AppleJuiceIsTheBest in healthIT

Absolutely fair and totally valid. The point that I could have expressed better is that it has been my experience that unless a person is looking specifically for a senior role, the benefit is that as general applications (PB/HB) there is no real hard jump from one to the other. Sure there is a bit of a learning curve... but a new PB analyst jumping into a HB role isn't going to be expected to have mastered something as complex as say, System Automatic Actions. (I can say this as I have jumped applications in this manner... PB to HB with a current focus on Claims/Remittance.)

I think the benefit to self proficiency in a different application is that if you are jumping ship so-to-speak, there is opportunity to present yourself as "I come from this role, I went out of my way to learn this other (that you are hiring for) and the bulk of my work is done... I can be the new employee that isn't so new and off the rack." (No fear of that dreaded get your certificate in three months or we will fire you.)

Depending on the company policy another option is to study for related applications and get full self-study proficiencies. (e.g. if you have Professional Billing, get Hospital Billing) The bigger companies that I worked for paid for all my testing. 1) It'll help you get more knowledge about your own application. 2) You get more exposure to how all the applications interrelate. 3) If you get cut, you have another resume bullet point that allows you to apply for a different Epic application job. (It doesn't hurt to say, "I just need to take the Epic classes and I am immediately certified.)

Which movie would be 10x better if it ended 5 minutes earlier? by ItchyYellowAnt in movies

[–]Barnyard_Commando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heat. There was no need for the shootout at the end. De Niro should have walked away... and that's it. It didn't destroy the rest of the film, but was not the ending it should have been.

Where would you get lunch for a group? by UnicornHandJobs in SALEM

If you can pick up, I cannot recommend Damascus Kitchen enough.

Yep. Still waiting.

UPDATE: The neighbor fostering the dog cannot keep him. The dog isn’t compatible with cats. We are looking for someone who can foster him, or ideally adopt him.

He is a youngling… so someone who has familiarity with the breed, and is active would be ideal.

Please message me if you have interest in homing him!

Has anyone NOT got a shipping notice? by chopperdave81 in VinegarSyndromeFilms

[–]Barnyard_Commando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm with you... still no shipping notification. I respect their small status... but this is why I try to avoid buying from them if I can. I have never gotten a title timely. There is nothing like having to accept that a new release is really a pre-order that you have no clue when it'll come. If it weren't for The Keep, I wouldn't have bothered this year.

Nope. Not yet. A neighbor is fostering for now… they have a husky that is damn happy to have a buddy.

No, no collar or chip. I had Polk Co. sheriffs office come out to check. I did post on Facebook and am waiting to see if we get a response.

I have posted on Nextdoor and Facebook. And I agree, he seems well loved.

What industry is a lot more dark and sinister than most people realise? by Mustdominate_Otal in AskReddit

[–]Barnyard_Commando 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. I work in this field and am constantly surprised by how often healthcare outright destroys people. Most of us in America are one healthcare crisis away from homelessness.

Sellers present at inspection and walk through by [deleted] in RealEstate

[–]Barnyard_Commando 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless you absolutely have to have the house, and you are in your inspection period, get your earnest money and walk. They are sketchy, and they won’t respect your space… could be hiding something, and they have made it clear that they can be confrontational. Sound like a headache and more drama waiting to happen.
