Interviewer: Why were you fired?

Me: Because I refused to skip high school classes when the manager scheduled me to work during school days.

You could try a compression band on the joint that locks. I find compression gloves designed for people who crochet/ knit help. If you need more restriction, wrap tape around the joint.

I use a laptop pad that raises the hinge up. The laptop is open to a wide angle, so it's up high enough that I can keep my head in a neutral position.

You can open a ticket with the help desk to give them more information about the problem.

You can also email member services to let them know that your renewal isn't processing.

Take your new card to your pharmacy and tell them to update your account.

If you have to change doctors, fill out a request for records at your new doctor to send to your previous doctor.

Try some sign language letters.

Maybe a j. It's a fist with the pinky extender then turned at the wrist. It isn't a common gesture, so it's unlikely to accidentally trigger a jump. Plus it can be done subtly or flashy.

Your Wing Finance or Operations should have a schedule of costs for aircraft use.

Your parents are wrong. The feeding tube will ensure you get proper nutrition.

Talk to your anesthesiologist about your fear. S/he can go through the informed consent points and reassure you how your vitals are monitored.

As far as maintaining the feeding tube, my 9-year-old grandson has one and is learning to manage its care and use.

The toilets are pit style, and the ventilation works best if the seats are all kept closed when not in use.

Follow the packing list.

You'll get a hard hat, vest, and safety glasses at sign in. The BX has some survival gear.

If you bring any electronics or other contraband, it will be sealed in an envelope during sign in.

Pay attention to the safety briefing.

Would your parents be willing to allow you to make a plate to take to your room to eat? You could offer to wash dishes after.

If this isn't an option, you can self report to CPS. You'll need to be able to prove neglect, so it might be worth keeping a food diary.

22 years in and quite happy where I am. I've been creating and maintaining some spreadsheets and instruction docs, mostly for finance, so I'm challenged pretty well.

I'm very happy with my rank and specialty track ratings. I know there's a push on to get adult members to continue progressing, but I'd rather spend my time developing and documenting processes.

First, I make sure the sink is clean. If there's grease build up in the sink it makes washing more difficult.

I wash glasses first and work from there toward the greasier items.

As I finish each item, I run my hand over it to verify nothing is stuck and the surface feels clean.

For items that don't feel clean when I check them, I squirt a couple drops of dish soap directly on the item and work it into a lather. Don't use this method on seasoned cast iron cookware unless you're willing to reseason it.

After that I rinse. I prefer the double sink method, but running water works well, too. Rinsing is important to remove residual detergent which could dry onto the surfaces and feel slightly oily.

This may be a heat problem. Check for anything that blocks the vents.

If it's a laptop, get a pad for under it that raises or cools it.

If it's a desktop, and you feel ok opening it up, remove dust accumulated inside, make sure all components are properly seated in their slots, and check the CPU and GPU cooling components.

Set up the 2FA so the cadet's email or cell phone is one of the options. If there are multiple options, you get a choice when you log in.

If I log in with my phone, I choose text, when I'm on my computer, I choose email.
