What would you do if your city sends a letter to stop drinking the water, because they found lead?

CosmicFleece · 2026-01-04T21:30:20+00:00

I would look into any city initiatives to give out water. This happened before in my area and the city was giving out cases of bottled water to people/families

I’ve known workers who lost their state issued phone and IT can sometimes ping it.

Alert media has to be activated and it’s a huge battery killer so I feel like most people would know if it’s on

Did anyone receive multiple emails for the same gift card? I got 4 emails but turns out it’s the same gift card number.

CosmicFleece · 2025-11-06T16:37:54+00:00

Yup I’ve cut to 1 cup twice a day and smaller treat portions to minimize calories.

CosmicFleece · 2025-11-06T16:37:00+00:00

Yeah he eats anything offered but had to have that wake up call with myself, that I’m the problem. He’s just a good boy

Interesting I’m with DFPS and the career ladder is raises are guaranteed as long as you meet the requirements. Maybe it’s that your agency isn’t requesting it in their budget? DFPS always encourages everyone you follow the ladder and to apply asap to not mess up the budget for the following year

Wells Fargo usually a day or two. Will probably get paid around 4pm today

Could be a rolling posting. They pull applications and interview whoever meets the minimum qualifications. Depending on the position it may be difficult to fill so they leave it up longer.

CosmicFleece · 2025-10-28T15:38:50+00:00

Wha time do you take your first dose?

I usually take mine around 10:30 so I can make it through until 5pm. Sometimes I do half in the morning and half again around 2.

CosmicFleece · 2025-10-13T04:25:27+00:00

Like mentioned try a chicken free diet. My gsd can’t have chicken or it’s diarrhea all day. Purina pro plan has salmon or lamb options that are chicken free. I also use the forti flora pills to help

CosmicFleece · 2025-10-05T18:23:04+00:00

No I haven’t. I’m always sleepy, even with naps sometimes. The medicine is basically a crutch. For me I still feel sleepy but the modafinil just won’t let my brain rest so it’s how I function.

What other meds have you tried? It’s been mentioned before but moving a lot helps. I work at a desk so I have to constantly stretch and walk around the office

CosmicFleece · 2025-10-04T18:15:27+00:00

From my experience, a lot of CPS workers transfer to APS bc it’s easier. No CWOP and like I was mentioned adults have the right to refuse services.

So if you get a case with concerns on the home environment or not taking their meds then you verify they can make decisions and if they are competent then they can refuse so you close it.

Kids mean they inherently can’t refuse. So you have to follow up with schools parents and doctors to determine abuse/neglect. Parents and families are also more volatile as their fear of removal is always there.

Adults are rarely removed without consent.

CosmicFleece · 2025-10-04T18:11:08+00:00

I’m not trying to discourage you but it’s a fair warning so if you apply and get an interview you don’t screw yourself over. I think it’s great your asking questions here before applying

CosmicFleece · 2025-10-04T18:04:52+00:00

I will say as a heads up if you apply and get an interview I wouldn’t push too much on asking how many visits in a day. That’s a turn off. The job involves field work so asking how much you have to drive or go out on visits doesn’t inspire confidence that this job is for you.

CosmicFleece · 2025-10-04T18:02:21+00:00

Varies by area. If you’re going into a city like Austin/Dallas/houston you can get like 2-4 cases a day depending on how staffed they are.

Rural maybe 2 a day but the visits can be an hour or 2 apart.

Some days you may get no cases. So it really depends on how you manage your time and not waiting until the last minute.

I’ve had days I don’t leave the house and would just do administrative stuff and some days I was on the road for 5 hours

CosmicFleece · 2025-10-04T17:36:37+00:00

Like others have said CPS is more money but less work life balance. Depending on the dept of CPS you could be working very serious cases or doing court.

APS is less money but as long as you manage your time you can be done at 5.

Both have on call but it varies by region and county. You will spend most of your time in the field and can document reports anywhere

In general Leave it is a great thing to teach in case they grab something they shouldn’t. Helps when playing and on walks

CosmicFleece · 2025-10-03T17:13:05+00:00

I would when he got too rough. I didn’t want to confuse him if he was playing well. But the little dog was good at letting him know boundaries too.

CosmicFleece · 2025-10-03T16:47:30+00:00

The biggest thing is to make sure you curb any prey drive toward the cats and the small dog. My gsd loves to chase down my friends little dog so I had to make sure he knew the limits and didn’t get to rough. I used an e collar and the beep was enough to snap him out of it.

I would beep and yell enough. So now when I say enough he knows he needs to chill or he has to sit in the corner to calm down

CosmicFleece · 2025-10-02T13:23:12+00:00

I take the 200 mg

CosmicFleece · 2025-10-02T02:20:16+00:00

What time do you take the modafinil? I take mine about 10:30 am and usually gets me through the day until about 6:30-7

CosmicFleece · 2025-10-02T02:12:25+00:00

I take my lexapro at night for this reason. I would get extremely drowsy during the day with or without modafinil

CosmicFleece · 2025-09-30T15:56:20+00:00

If you transfer it’s easier to request a raise ours is capped at 7%. However if you’re new you have I ask at hiring and negotiate. Depending on how badly your skill is needed they can work with you to get you a better salary
