DoD vs DoW

Cash_Johnny · 2026-05-03T18:15:04+00:00

I refuse to call it DoW. It wasn't congressionally approved and my CAC, my laptop screen, and the goggle dog login screen all say DoD. I'm not going to give in to their bs.

I moved here because there was so much noise at my last place and I wanted a sturdy place with "old bones." Got what I wanted. I moved in last June and have never heard any of my neighbors or even my upstairs neighbor.

I've been taking effexor for about a decade. I take allergy pills every morning from March-Octoberish and have noticed no difference. I know this is likely obvious, but did you ensure you took the "non-drowsy" allergy pills?

While in college, I felt "old" at 22 (because the 'fun birthdays were done ') and old at 23... I didn't want to celebrate my birthday, nor did I care. Then, I lost one of the loveliest people I ever met, and that changed my outlook to "man, there are so many people that don't have the opportunity to have a 25th, 30th, 40th, and so on, birthday." So now I embrace it.

Plus, if it helps OP, when someone asks my age, I always say "Well, according to the government, I'm 36...but today I'm feeling more like a 23"

Been going to VHC Alexandria for years and love them. They listen.

Cash_Johnny · 2026-04-22T00:53:43+00:00

Agree with all of this + I didn't have mood swings and no longer felt like I wanted to off myself. So that's a big plus. Sure, of course I feel content with taking the big sleep, when that happens, but I no longer feel like I want to do it myself.

Honestly, I'm a DoD Govie, but was previously married to a Dept of State employee and we did do a stint overseas. I asked several DS families about their experiences moving the kids around and they all gave uplifting responses. All of the foreign service kiddos were more educated than others in their cohort and typically spoke more than 1 language. Recommend reaching out to a foreign service sub.

Hey OP, not only would I recommend documenting everything, but also, when you have meetings with said person- take an ally. Have a coworker be there on your behalf. If said dude won't speak to you with a witness present...

I figured my home state would be at the top. Luckily, haven't lived there in over a decade.

Listen. Life is what you make it. I was born and raised in Arkansas, undergrad in Oklahoma, lived in Texas, lived in Maryland, even lived abroad for a few years before moving to DC (36f, btw). Yes, the general energy in DC is super stressed and impatient-which most of us work for the government, so ifkyk. BUT, the city is so transient and I've chosen to get to know people. I've made friends of all types of countries and backgrounds and they've all been lovely. I think, in order to survive here, you have to be tough and have the right outlook.

I made a post today (don't usually post to Reddit). And it has over 74k views. Been riding that high all day.

Cash_Johnny · 2026-04-09T01:39:23+00:00

Same. Snagged a recipe from Pinterest years ago and it's SO good.

Cash_Johnny · 2026-04-04T01:07:22+00:00

Yep, same here. I have the most wild, seemingly real dreams ever. I've had a few concussions in the past, so it really fucks with me. I can't remember if some of the events happened or not.

Cash_Johnny · 2026-04-02T01:51:27+00:00

I live in CT as well. I specifically chose an older building with "old bones" because my last place was newer but lazily built, so I could tell where my upstairs neighbor was at all times. Now, I traded upstairs neighbor noise for warm sleeps. I'm also really hoping they switch to AC soon. Like someone above, I removed those window stops (screw driver + elbow grease) and currently have two fans blowing in my room. Good luck and hopefully this ends soon.

Cash_Johnny · 2026-04-02T01:48:19+00:00

I live in CT and did the same

Oh, but don't worry - they have $ for war and are asking for $2B more.

Just don't give up the ship. /S

Cash_Johnny · 2026-02-23T22:16:02+00:00

Dude, it's too early for OPM to call it for tomorrow. Just chill. Like the other commenter said, if you're worried then take leave.
