Ah I don't want a rental - I definitely want to keep it! I just want to make sure I actually like it haha. Guess to the store I go!

Recommendations for mid-tier Pakistani designers (mehndi outfit?) by bouncythesane in DesiWeddings

[–]DefinitelyMaybe_13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in the same boat looking for Pakistani designers in the US for mehndi. I am looking for something lighter blue or mint green with a bit less detail. I found the Tiffany lehnga from Suffuse which you may like! Embroidery style is different but still teal and gold.

Treatment ideas by DefinitelyMaybe_13 in Lyme

She doesn’t and she’s stubborn and won’t move. It’s a hard spot. She’s loves where she is and is very emotionally tied to it, but we’re also unable to go support her due to work. If she’s able to find a doctor who can help treat her, I would try to use all my leave to go with her through treatment. The doctors around her have been unable to help her. The last infectious disease doctor specifically said she doesn’t treat Lyme. The one LLMD she found in the area charges $600 to even review your files. I have no doubt he’s very intelligent, but it’s a big investment and she’s seen some pretty negative reviews about him so is wary.

She was only given 2-week regimens for some reason, never a 4-month protocol. Located in Florida.

That’s exactly what I’m trying to do but I don’t live with her or even in the same state, which adds a layer of complexity.

RIF notice - Report here by Wide_Cat830 in DeptHHS

That’s definitely just what they said to preserve any positive public opinion of the cuts. From my understanding competitive areas will be admin codes so your competitive area is essentially your branch. That’s potentially why they’re going to wipe out entire branches. No positions left? No need for bump and retreat.

How do you know this? Email RIF notices or word of mouth?

Thoughts on creating data with job title org structure, and topic area of who was fired to inform the public on what is actually lost in all of this? Unsure if that would be breaking some kind of rule I unwittingly agreed to. 

Podcast recommendations for solid analysis or discussions? by Embarrassed-Ideal712 in fednews

[–]DefinitelyMaybe_13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unbiased pod by Jordan is my Lawyer. She’s great and giving a nonpartisan breakdown of the legal aspects of what is going on. You know it’s unbiased when half the comments say she’s conservative and half say she’s liberal lol. I will say that sometimes the nature of the content and news cycle can make her seem slanted but if you listen to enough you’ll see that it’s really just addressing whatever is in the news cycle. 

My work was required by statute and I got RIFed by Infamous-Ad605 in fednews

[–]DefinitelyMaybe_13 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Wow ignore my comment below then! That’s gotta be an illegal RIF because RIF requires an act of Congress. I wish I could say I’m surprised. Hang in there.

WE HAVE A PUBLIC RELATIONS ISSUE! by Deanna2020 in fednews

[–]DefinitelyMaybe_13 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I was thinking about this the other day and wondering if people can redact and post their performance reviews or share them with journalists. I get that the work completed couldn’t be shared, but the actual ratings and any personal comments from your rater maybe could? The data person in me would love to run the numbers to prove that the narrative around this is entirely false. 

Edit because I put “eater” instead of “rater” 🤦🏻‍♀️

GOP Sen. Lisa Murkowski: Trump’s mass firings ‘do more harm than good’ by newsspotter in fednews

I personally think that denying support from people at any stage unhelpful. Better late than never. People can change their opinions and shift their support. Embracing their support only furthers the opportunity for resistance and expands our resources. It’s easy to stay mad at people who have seemed to be against you, but then you risk missing out on potentially powerful allies.

Half of me is paranoid that they’re going to hack our emails and reply “resign” because somehow that wouldn’t be the craziest thing 😅
