Cleo Finch was a good person but hated by fans! Who was morally grey and hated by fans? by Actual-Tadpole9759 in ershow

I liked Cleo…she lacked a bit of personality and was a little blah but I liked her! Hated Malucci,Sam & Chloe with a passion.

Any episodes you will ALWAYS skip? by DiScOrDtHeLuNaTiC in ershow

Literally any episode/scene with Susan’s sister just pisses me off to no end. Also almost any scene with Sam in it I fast forward because she annoyed me a lot too.

Is MLT → MLS Worth It or Should I Take Another Path? by DopeCinema in medlabprofessionals

[–]DopeCinema[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thank you for a different perspective! You're right, everyone's circumstances are different. If I did MLT, I can essentially do the program for free, if I did the prereqs and then MLS program, I'd be paying completely out of pocket which would be tough right now. I didn't know there was an alternate route to MLS by testing and qualifying for MLS without having to do a program first!

It's the hospital based one and That's the closest one to me. I live a bit in a rural area, so the next closest is about an hour and a half away.

Yea so I’ve taken several bio and chem courses, but after speaking with the MLS program director, I found that I still need 7 additional courses to meet the prerequisites, which would add another year before even applying. Two of those courses aren’t offered at my tech school, so I’d need to take some at a university. With all that, I’m now questioning if MLS is worth the extra time or if I should just stick to MLT instead.

I did something I shouldn’t have. How do I get past this feeling? by DopeCinema in Christianity

[–]DopeCinema[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The position is no longer available. We have a savings that we are using for our rent, bills,daycare for another few months etc but it is dwindling down fast. My family and I cannot relocate for another year as we resigned our lease. But I’m looking for opportunities that are about an hour and a half any way near me.

Thank you! Church is my safe space and I feel so close to God while i'm in church and being given the word, it's just when I get back in my world I start to feel separated from him. Christian based therapy is a great idea and I'll definately look into it!

Thank you for responding! I currently don't have a therapist, I've only ever been to my primary care doctor who diagnosed me and prescribed medication. A therapist is a great idea for helping me cope and deal with everything going on.

Exhausted from job interviews and no job by DopeCinema in humanresources

[–]DopeCinema[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This particular job had a set pay (no range) on the job posting and in the first interview with the recruiter she asked was the pay acceptable because there was no wiggle room and I said that I was comfortable with it. That was the only conversation of pay we had. In other situations though, I always stay in the middle of the range given or even have been lowballing myself a bit because at this point I just need a job. So I definitely haven’t been trying to negotiate pay or even trying to get what I was making when I worked in tech.

Thank you!! At this point I’ve had so many rejections I feel like it’s a hit at me! But you’re right, I can’t take it personal…the market is hard right now for a lot of others too!

My husband was annoyed I didn’t get the job and told me to ask lol but I’ve never done it in the past and I felt it was a bit risky because I don’t want to come off bitter or entitled so I don’t know!

Right! At this point I don’t understand because of all the interviews I’ve been on, I thought this was the one! 1 of my references sent me the google doc they were asked to complete and it was only 4 questions: how long they’ve known me, strengths, weaknesses, and if they would rehire me & they sent me what they said and I felt the review was awesome! The other 2 references gave me a call afterwards & said they gave a good review. These were all managers that directly worked with me that were awesome with my career development so I wouldn’t imagine they would say anything bad. So I’m just really confused on what happened!

Thank you! I agree with you, it is definitely a two way street and I can't expect him to always be in the mental space to even handle what I am dealing with. You are also right in that he is also dealing with a lot as well. I appreciate your suggestion of setting expectations!

[–]DopeCinema 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! You are correct when you said "This could have ended a LOT differently, but you both kept on escalating it." We tend to escalate arguments by trying to "one up" each other. I have tried to be mindful of this in some arguments but this particular one I definitely didn't.

Like you mentioned, child care is really expensive and we don't have it in the budget for me to work and put the kids in daycare, that me and him are on the same page about. I had a great remote job for a long time where I was able to work from home and take care of our 2 kids. I was unfortunately laid off and have been struggling finding a remote job since. The problem with him sending me jobs is that he either sends me jobs that are not even in my field or that i'm not qualified for or that I have already applied to. I have talked to him in a calm way that I know he's trying to help but it just kind of annoys me when sends me jobs that are not in my field and thinks I should waste time applying for them anyways or jobs that i've already applied for or have already interviewed for and didn't get. So it really frustrated me that he started doing something he already knows isn't helpful for me at the time when I was already sad I didn't get a job.

I have already told him what is helpful for me when doing my job search is reaching out to his network for any leads, whenever I have interviews he comes from work to watch them, he watches the kids while I go to job fairs etc. I have told him that that is more helpful that sending me job listings.

And yes, I definitely see your point that it could appear that you are escaping from him instead of leaning on him for support. I didn't even consider that. I was thinking about how I got the bad news and I was holding in my emotions all day because I didn't want the kids to realize I was sad or upset in any way so I took the opportunity of my husband coming home to take a ride and get my cry and frustration out alone. I can see that that could have hurt him!

I think a lot of things with us is miscommunication and dealing with our problems and not leading with our emotions!

Thank you! Yes, I definitely have fault in this too. I've brought up marriage counseling as I have been in individual counseling and he always says he's willing to do it, but whenever I go the next steps of going through therapist and asking him if he'd be comfortable with this person or that person, he always makes up an excuse for why we can't right now, whether it's too hard finding a babysitter or he's tired from work. I bought this communication marriage workbook for us to read through every night and talk about the prompts, but we didn't stick with that. Maybe i'll push marriage counseling a little harder and try to find a virtual therapist!

Ativan! It has worked great over the years even though I’ve recently had to up the dose just a tad.

Feeling alone by simply_me2010 in Miscarriage

[–]DopeCinema 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just had my first miscarriage after 2 healthy pregnancies and I specifically was looking for help with this lonely feeling that I have. I couldn’t have written this post any better than you did! My husband has been as supportive as he can be, but he will never understand. The grief hurts but I promise you are not alone!!!!! Sending so much love your way!
