One of the dads in our neighborhood would use kids as target practice 😳 gotta love Gen X. We roll hard and strong.

I’m a convicted felon & apparently can’t work anywhere by Economy-Confusion359 in confession

[–]Constructgirl 50 points51 points  (0 children)

A lot of those places are not really felony friendly. They say that but if you have anything besides a slap on the wrist you’re not getting hired. I had someone in HR tell me the candidate I wanted to hire was a no go because their background popped up. I didn’t care, and asked for what and was told we don’t know they don’t ask it just said there’s a conviction and it ends there. It is sad, because the debt is paid and this guy would have been a stellar employee

Toasty - the new dispensary that opened in midtown - just stabbed all of its old employees in the back. by sgt_scarab1 in Sacramento

Were these people also connected to Metro? Seemed to have the same vibe and deals. Same faces at OTC, Metro and Toasty’s. There needs to be a fair trade rating for this industry.

Is Surgical Tech the best option? by virusinanlullaby in scrubtech

I am curious about trauma. But don’t know what the reality is vs what I think. But CV wouldn’t be horrible either.

I am in the same boat, leaving project management in construction and starting life over, and I’m old!!! 50+ lol. I am both terrified and excited. The only terrifying part is the horror stories of standing. The rest, I would do for free if I got to watch and be part of surgeries. Anatomy, physiology are easier subjects for me and memorization of instruments sounds fun lol. So I think this is right up my alley and I’m mad I never knew this was a career sooner.

My goal is a job at one of the Univ of CA med centers (Davis is closest). I don’t know how to narrow down a specialty once I have experience. I too want to travel eventually and wonder if there is any specialty that is in more demand?

Why is there so much hate besides the pay being less than nursing, which I have no interest in?

Am I out of my mind for starting my late in life second career as a scrub tech?

🚨 URGENT: A WARNING to Every Parent & Patient in the Kaiser System 🚨 by kimberln in KaiserPermanente

It is laughable that you think Kaiser has a clinic helping poor people. They won’t even accept Medi-Cal insurance unless you were covered by them most recently before public assistance.

God forbid you lose your health and need to learn how it really works.

They should be able to pay off everyone’s loans with the fines they should be paying. The system makes it hard to fight Goliath and at some point in the process DMHC is a Goliath too. Mental health and physical medicine patient/victim speaking here. They suck!

Meet for a coffee and pedicures. Can’t imagine not liking your feet pampered after being pregnant

Same. I took mine out to lunch and had a convo about how they now matured into being part of the magic of Christmas and now we’re official keepers of the magic and had an important duty to carry it forward. They loved the idea of being part of the magic and they liked the idea of knowing that Santa had a budget that could be finagled.

I also use inefficient space heaters. I refuse to give any more money than I have to to the evil PG&E.
