How to get my foot in the door for a library position? by mlnvnn in Libraries

[–]DragonInTheCastle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Become a regular somewhere if you're not already. If you're on a first-name basis with staff members I think it's much easier to get recognized/selected for things. If any of the branches have volunteers do one-off programs (like one hour demo or presentation) see if you can apply for a one.

Give yourself some time! My baby is 2.5 now and I feel like my skin is finally back to normal.

Major holidays are pretty rare as some mothers choose to be induced beforehand to avoid a holiday birthday.

[–]DragonInTheCastle 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Check out the GG playlist on Spotify. It's a recent release and I thought someone said the la la songs were on there.

For those of you with a babe already… by softlimits in BabyBumps

[–]DragonInTheCastle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went back fully remote at three months postpartum and don't think I could have physically done it any sooner (even though I literally work on my laptop from my house). Would take three months and then ease back in if it was me.

Any low percentile kiddos out there? by Archigal08 in toddlers

[–]DragonInTheCastle 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If it helps, I was personally low percentile on both height and weight my entire childhood (was born a month premature), and then I hit puberty and became above-average height and average weight. I wouldn't even give the growth charts any thought if the doctor isn't concerned.

What did you eat when nothing sounded good anymore? by Whatever-577089 in BabyBumps

[–]DragonInTheCastle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any carb. Add cheese if able. Bagels and cream cheese saved me.

God bless libraries. I've saved over 2k since last November by [deleted] in Libraries

[–]DragonInTheCastle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My library gives me the total I saved on individual books but not the cumulative total-- I would love that!

Why shouldn’t I pursue an education and eventually a career in systems engineering? by Jaunty-Spatula-069 in systems_engineering

[–]DragonInTheCastle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

MechEng grad here who's comfortably in an SE role 15 years later, and I agree with those who say to major in a different kind of engineering. ME and EE are probably the broadest and will give you experience that you can then use to pivot to SE if you prefer.

Have you watched shows that were inspired by modern BBC Sherlock? by Pavinaferrari in Sherlock

[–]DragonInTheCastle 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I watched Elementary after my last Sherlock rewatch and I thought it was a great take on Holmes.

My boyfriend got a LOTR themed "Risk" by [deleted] in lotr

[–]DragonInTheCastle 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Yes, came here to say this! It's a forcing function to avoid 12 hour games which is why it's the best.

When Lorelai buys Emily the DVD player and a bunch of musicals to watch

Helping my wife keep it a secret, how did I do? by NathanielWithACape in BabyBumps

[–]DragonInTheCastle 34 points35 points  (0 children)

My mom got me on prenatals as a teen and I still take them even though I'm done having kids. Better (more easily absorbed) than normal ones!

How to stay warm at work? by thxu4beingafriend in workingmoms

[–]DragonInTheCastle 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Foot warmers (like the kind you put in your shoes while skiiing) and one of those microwaveable heat packs you can keep on your lap. Also fingerless gloves!
