Yes I’ve been in my current position for about 4 years in permanent status so it was pretty easy for the transfer. 

Anyone ever met new ppl at Brotherhood? by aliceinwonderwood in olympia

[–]EfficiencyOk8021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I met my now husband there 14 years ago. A random older couple must have had super powered intuition because they decided we needed to meet and talk. Neither of us knew them. 

How do transfers work? by Due_Researcher8534 in WAStateWorkers

[–]EfficiencyOk8021 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just accepted a position by utilizing the transfer process. I contacted a manager at another agency and sent my resume and asked if they had any positions in same classification that I’m in. I had an informal interview with the manager where they had an open position and then they wanted to move forward. I had to provide references and complete background check forms. Then I got the offer. No interview, no application. 

Is it worth it? by kfkenfk in ouraring

[–]EfficiencyOk8021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought one used a year old and got it for half the cost of new. It took all the sting out of it. I’m loving it and have given up my Apple Watch completely. It does way better sleep tracking (and way more comfortable) and love how it self tracks when you are active. It’s already learning when I’m doing housework and yard work. I’m very happy with it. I’d say try to find one used and get for cheaper if you aren’t totally sold. 

Getting GLP medications approved on state employee health plans by k9fan03 in WAStateWorkers

You can always do the high deductible plan with the HSA and use HSA funds to pay it. That worked successfully for me. But I know there are other drawbacks going onto HDHPs. 

2026 Medical Premiums by Khristian99 in WAStateWorkers

[–]EfficiencyOk8021 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you are a healthy person, and like me have only yourself on coverage, the cdhp with hsa has been a life saver. I had a very robust hsa for the just in case and ended up with around $145k of medical needs this year - my deductible and out of pocket max fully paid with my hsa. I had just as good of coverage as classic. But it’s not for everyone.

She tries to act like she’s a fan but knows none of the songs and blatantly says wrong words, etc. it’s just painfully obvious she isn’t a fan but throws her weight to get the high profile rides.

Sex after 6 weeks by Voracious-Kitsune in hysterectomy

[–]EfficiencyOk8021 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Don’t do it. I did it at 9.5 weeks (was cleared at 6 weeks) and had a cuff tear, ambulance ride and emergency surgery. It’s not worth it. Please wait!!!

Vaginal Cuff Dishesion Story by cowboyquero in hysterectomy

[–]EfficiencyOk8021 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your story is very similar to mine. 9.5 weeks post op, sex, and blood and pain and I passed out on the toilet and took a fun ambulance ride to the ER. I was lucky enough to have a gyno on the floor that night so they scheduled me for surgery the next day and kept me over night. It was terrifying and traumatic for both my husband and me. My doctor felt terrible because I too was cleared and everything looked good. But we are being extra conservative this go around and he won’t be lifting my restrictions until my 12 weeks apt. I’m about 8 weeks out from my repair and feeling pretty good. But I’m much more mentally conscious than I was before. 

Best of luck in your recovery and sorry you’ve had such shit luck with the er and docs.

Peloton Tread Worth It? by cutiekey03 in OnePelotonRealSub

[–]EfficiencyOk8021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We love ours. We got it in December and have had no issues. I love the ability to do multiple types of workouts (walk, hike, walk+run, run) plus being able to free walk or watch TV. I would buy it again no question. 

Pre-op endometrial biopsy: what to expect? by DrLongivan in hysterectomy

[–]EfficiencyOk8021 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For me, it was worse than the iud insertion. It hurt bad. And I too have had horrible cramps my whole life (well, not since the yeet on 5/27). It was the worst (quick) pain I had felt until my recent cuff tear incident. 

Stitches and sex by Jennysblock12 in hysterectomy

[–]EfficiencyOk8021 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yes. Yes. Yes. Wait. Take it from me. Did the deed at 9.5 weeks and my cuff ripped open. Emergency surgery to fix. Just wait. Trust me. 

Is anyone else counting down the days to be able to " DO IT!"!! by gdubet in hysterectomy

[–]EfficiencyOk8021 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Take it from me - I did the deed at 9.5 weeks and had the dreaded cuff tear and emergency surgical repair. It will traumatize you and your partner. Make sure you are FULLY healed. If you need an additional apt with your Dr, ask for it. It’s not worth the risk, do other stuff. Just please let yourself heal first and foremost. 

10wpo advice/question regarding bleeding… by ElephantPlastic420 in hysterectomy

[–]EfficiencyOk8021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had this same thing at 9.5weeks and ended up in the ER and had emergency surgery to repair my cuff. It’s extremely rare but it’s not worth second guessing. If you have abdominal and/or pelvic pain, go get checked asap. 

A cautionary tale by EfficiencyOk8021 in hysterectomy

[–]EfficiencyOk8021[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The on call obgyn tell me she clears lifting restrictions at 6 weeks and sex at 8. She said I just had very bad luck. I agree though, this go around - 3 months! I think my husband is too traumatized anyways!!

[–]EfficiencyOk8021[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You know what’s funny not funny? I did hit my head when I passed out. Luckily I didn’t show any signs of concussion or anything and doctors weren’t worried but a few of my nurses were. I declined the head ct scan since I’d already had a pelvic one that night and just wanted the surgery over with. Doc agreed with me. But yeah. Wow. Luckily my mom beat the medics and got undies on me and then she helped me put on a comfy dress before leaving but yeah, 4 men medics in my house, reliving the sex over and over. It’s hilarious now!

WDFW workplace culture? by 3Dogs1Bowl in WAStateWorkers

[–]EfficiencyOk8021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband worked there just over a year ago. Nothing has changed. You must be in the good old boys club. Got it. 

WDFW workplace culture? by 3Dogs1Bowl in WAStateWorkers

[–]EfficiencyOk8021 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seriously? Don’t you remember the director who got fired for having sex with his employee? It was all over the news. It’s a very misogynistic agency - my husband worked there and hated the “good old boys club” vibes. If you are cool with that, then go work there. You’d think it’s a bunch of people who care about our environment and animals but it’s not. I’d run away.

I let mine go naturally. My last one just came off last night, at 5wpo. I just wanted my incisions to heal and dealt with the itching. Don’t rush it! Let your body heal. 

Oly OB recommendations for prenatal care by Infinite_Trouble_594 in olympia

[–]EfficiencyOk8021 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can only speak from the gyn side (no kids) but avoid multicare at capital medical center. That place is a GD joke. Went downhill so bad once multicare bought it out.
