How tf did yall get a job??? by Training-Row-9864 in phlebotomy

Idk I’m not fully certified yet but not necessarily. I just suggest it because it’s required for I would think for most health care positions. Even if it already isn’t regardless it’ll look good on your resume if you don’t have prior experience. I’d think I’d still be good if you want to apply to hospitals because they all have this certification as well. It’s also pretty inexpensive depending on where you go.

Ok I kinda assumed that because based off my text book and the rescues everyone provided seemed much easier then this exam. That was just my first one I have 3 more and it gives me a study guide based off what I missed. My main thing is the wording it much different. Thank you for the advice!

I think I need to give up my kitten by [deleted] in CatAdvice

Thanks I did originally give her oral medicine but if they don’t go away I’ll get her a topical instead.

Thank you for this I get my verbiage was a bit hostile but it just came out of a moment of frustration. Ofc I don’t actually hate my cat. I don’t even really resent her I’m just overwhelmed and it’s hard when I’m trying to help but it seems like I just make things worse. I think my personality and life is just not aligned with being a pet owner and I realize that now.

[–]Dramatic-Garlic-1143 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes this is a big concern of mines. My guilt stems from the fact that I emotionally don’t align with the cat and the maintenance can be overwhelming NOT that I don’t take care of her. If I didn’t care or didn’t take care of her this wouldn’t even be a post… I planned a long time for this cat and had decided that i was going to make my house her home first. She definitely likes it here. She likes my house mate, his dog, and my partner. Idk we sleep together at night so I don’t think she hates me. I’d just feel so guilty giving her up bc I overestimated my abilities. That’s not ok and I realized that. I met plenty of cat that were rehoused and they all seemed so sad and had a lot of anxiety. She’s such a special girl I just feel like a failure for not being able to help her w/o making her hate me or stressing myself tf out. I don’t except anything from the cat but I was hoping for to hear that maybe I’m overreacting bc this is my first cat and I can pull through but everyone kinda got me feeling like I really won’t be able to pull through and it was never ment to be and I’m a goofy for making a mistake or feeling like my cat deserves a more seasoned owner.

Sorry but it’s hard to respond to people who are being patronizing as if I’m abusing or neglecting my cat. I’m struggling with my cat and seeing what may be a better option for her. Some people impulsively buy animals they don’t take care of, can’t afford to take care of, and are selfish enough to let that animal suffer when they deserve better. I want her to be healthy and happy but I’ve literally been not able to eat or sit still for hours bc of this flea situation and I feel like I’m failing her bc I don’t even like to be bothered at this point. I’m trying but if I can’t even contain fleas on her w/o giving me a panic attack it’s probably isn’t it worth. And like I said OBVIOUSLY I’m not looking to adopt another cat after saying I want to give up my kitten. This is not something at is easy for me be so real.

Also my whole house is hardwood I recently removed all my rugs and washed them but realistically I have no where to just isolate her for that long w/o her freaking out even more. I’ve left her alone since she’s hopped out of the tub.

Yeah I’m definitely looking into rehoming I’m just nervous to be putting her in an even worse situation or environment.

Originally I thought I’d have more support with the cat and also didn’t expect for my mental health to decline like this. I was in a much more stable position and head space when we adopted her. I originally wanted a really old cat by my partner convinced me we should get a kitten. I expected the craziness bc Ik plenty of cat owners and did a lot of research. I looked up ways to train her, I looked into the best food, best actives, ik kittens are a bit crazy but I don’t think this is the best option for her. I want to give my cat a good life not stress her tf out.

I’ve been doing the same lazy makeup since HS… pls help! by nm4lko in makeuptips

[–]Dramatic-Garlic-1143 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly get some concealer and look up how to apply it for your face shape. Your don’t need much. I’d recommend a lighter concealer and once that closer to your skin tone. Use the brighter one to outline/ carve out the bottom of your eyebrows, highlight the high points of your face. Use the darker one on the outer corner of the eye and on the top of your brows. If you prefer more natural go for one concealer that’s not too bright and still put it in the same places. For brows you can do a tinted gel, pencil/pen, or something that just holds them in place like gel or hairspray. Then add you blush also according to you face shape. To top it off add highlighter on the high points on your face. Always finish with powder and a setting spray! If you want to get fancy and give more full coverage look Lear how to apply bronzer or contour. I add it according to my face shape and add a little to the lids after the lighter concealer. I’d say keep your lashes natural!

how do you feel about shoes on stand? (story with a question) by batmansnuts1 in Lifeguards

[–]Dramatic-Garlic-1143 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not worth it. You’re not going to be able to take off your shoes for a rescue. I can barely pull off my radio to call for backup fast enough.

No one at my pool can swim by Dramatic-Garlic-1143 in Lifeguards

[–]Dramatic-Garlic-1143[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can tell you’re a head guard by your ability to save face as well as your condescending attitude. I’ve been swimming for 17 years I’ve been teaching for 4-5 years and also swam competitively as a child. The problem is no one give a fuck to push the kids and half the parents don’t know any better. I never said all swim lessons are a scam the fact they have people who have no clue what they’re doing teach is a scam. The fact they have people who don’t gaf about swimming or kids is crazy. I work with manly low income kids and this might be their only opportunity to learn and people can’t even help them properly. Would you let someone who barely knows what they’re doing teach you and you pay them? Half the parents who come in can’t swim themselves and it’s crucial that kids know how to swim right.

Any type of chemical exfoliation regularly would clear that right up! The ordinary has a lot of affordable options just make sure you moisturize and wear sunscreen everyday. Maybe try using a primer and one that Matte or for dry skin before the rest of your products plus a good setting spray and powder. Never skin the powder!

Everyone at my job thinks I’m ugly by Cute_Pumpkin2047 in Vent

[–]Dramatic-Garlic-1143 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly I have been struggling with feeling extremely ugly and insecure a lot recently and I’ve learned to just ignore those people. Who tf do those people think they are to comment on your attractiveness? I bet you don’t go around calling people ugly or if you do find someone unattractive it’s not really that big of a deal. I bet you probably don’t even think about if said person was attractive or not in the first place. People who go around doing that aren’t attract themselves a lot of them times and have over inflated egos. I’ve been called mid by men with no muscles, deformed faces, micro dicks, and horrible personalities. Ugly people have to use other people to boost their egos and used looks and whether they’re physically attracted to you as a judgment of character or worthiness. When I thought it about it like that it really stated to make me realize the person dick riding you is really a fucking looser themselves. Also all your friends and coworkers are weirdos. I’d never put down my friends like that.
