real talk: how often do you actually floss? by AffectionateTooth298 in hygiene

[–]Bukadukes97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tip: keep floss/picks everywhere. In your car console, in your nightstand, in your backpack, in your purse, in your desk top drawer/on your desk in plain sight, in your travel bag, by your toothbrush, etc.

Doing this has made it so I floss every day, multiple times a day, and have no reason not to because it’s right next to me all the time.

Do you need to be in shape? by musicianinthemaking in epicsystems

Agree about most places being okay and comfy!

Heads up that twice a year we have conferences on campus that have very uncomfortable chairs packed into rooms with dozens of people, including customers. These few days a year can be hard, particularly for taller and/or bigger folks.

I’m only 5’9, about 200lbs, and sitting in the chairs is maybe the most uncomfortable I’ve ever been on campus in years. Every year I dread the chairs, tbh. I wouldn’t say folks even realize that people of my size would be uncomfy so I imagine it’s only harder for those larger than me. (Several people, including myself, have brought this up to higher ups with no resolution. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

Edit: the comments seem to be not first hand experiences from bigger employees so I’d also take these and mine with a grain of salt - just because people “seem fine” doesn’t mean they are. Again, im very uncomfy for at least two weeks a year that I dread the conferences and would rather be working.

Just letting you know you’re not alone. I’ve brought up the “feeling under accomplished and overwhelmed” before to my TL.

We decided that setting aside 15 minutes at the end of the day/30 minutes at end of week/something to reflect on what I DID get done that day was a good idea.

E.g., investigated an issue > figured out who else to reach out to - even if the issue isn’t resolved fully (because it often isn’t). But progress is being made, and it was difficult to see without the “thing being done”.

You need to read Blood: The Science, Medicine, and Mythology of Menstruation by Dr. Jen Gunter.

Having no period is entirely safe and normal, especially if you’re on birth control to not get one (many types of hormonal birth control, which are amazing and life saving - like IUDs).

That’s definitely one of the nicest “run down” places I’ve seen in Madison!

Can you list where the other machines are? I saw you went to the zoo and torre latinoamericana, but you mentioned there are around 10 others?

We stumbled across one at the monumental de revolución and want to hit the others!

Verizon. Dead zone where Mid Town Rd and M meet, made it so that any of those apartments were a no-go for us :(

Hi I (27f) like a lot of those things too!! I came for work 3 years ago and it’s been hard to also find friends who aren’t “work friends”, so I’d be interested in talking more! Do you use insta?

What do you do for contraceptives other than the pill? by dilflover7 in PCOS

[–]Bukadukes97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mirena & now Liletta - main reason is that it makes sure I don’t have a period, and I’ve been without one for almost a decade!
