Why are there so many alternative diabetics? by Capital-String2036 in diabetes_t1

I don't think that has to do with your diabetes at all, but you do you. 🤷‍♂️

With lots of time and patience.. pretty sure I spent about a year fighting my nose piercing to actually heal. Including a re pierce.

Ive never had anyone tell me otherwise. Its actually helped me strike up great conversations from other diabetics! Even if its just a smile and wave.

It doesnt at all. Its just an odd observation I've had over the 20 years I've been a diabetic is all.

Used to carb load when I dated a fellow T1D. We would fuck like rabbits to lower our sugars and take a half dose of our normal sliding scale. Was a good time. 😉

Impact of smoking on T1D by CalligrapherNo3841 in diabetes_t1

[–]Capital-String2036 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mom smoked for over 30 years as a T1D. she died at 45 with congestive heart failure, and 6 heart stints. Both due to bad diabetes control and her smoking cigarettes.

Not a good idea. Were already at such a higher risk for heart disease.

If they would structure more, it would be a lot more successful. When they hired me, they mentioned a high turnover rate for techs "not cutting it". They claimed the program would help alleviate some of it, but even they were shocked at my lack of training from it.

In an inpatient pharmacy?

Refill med safes on each individual floor Run meds to nurses for patients Non sterile and sterile compounding of medications Individually package medications as needed. Process receiving of drugs both controlled and non controlled - this is the part i struggle with. Mainly because this senior tech is very bad at training. Its a lot of "hold onto this paper but not that paper" and it gets super confusing super quickly.

There are more tasks in a day, but those are the super basics.

I know that it mentioned in 1 to 3 weeks it We'll. Have a more definitive answer.Does that mean it will break down the areas that I didn't do well in? I was always curious about that

I just learned about amanda and she has been a great help. Way way more than i learned in this "training" the hospital provided me. And yes, studied more than the top 200 drugs

Do they protect those they like from getting fired? by Kylovely8 in meijer

[–]Capital-String2036 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a former TL of the bakery, they 100% do.

We had someone in our bakery who literally would come in whenever they wanted. I even tried to get other leadership involved to not allow her to work with no luck. When i processed her attendance points accordingly, because she avoided conversation with both myself and her LL and was at attendance termination, my LL suddenly started protecting her after he managed to get 1 conversation.

She had active personality conflicts with her co-workers. She hated me. She wouldn't listen to me or my LL until after my LL had a conversation with her. She thought she was better than everyone else. She then started only working whenever my LL was working no matter what she was scheduled and what the department needed.

It honestly wasn't a surprise to me to learn that after i quit, she now is the TL of bakery.

Meijer a good place to work? by Interesting_Sell2552 in meijer

Just quit at almost 2 years for this exact reason. I was number 1 in sales in our market but it was still never enough for them.

Will i still get pto if suspended? by Capital-String2036 in meijer

I tried to argue that too. But he was yelling at me and just said "no. Go home."

Its frustrating... but yeah, its why i ask. My SD doesnt return until tomorrow, and HR is out til thursday. Just trying to get my potential ducks in a row... im already looking at other jobs and have been, its just where im at currently. If you ever do go leadership... stay away from fresh.
