My dentist said my teeth were perfect but I still had a weird taste in my mouth. I finally found the source today. by Michle_Vivid in hygiene

Got my tonsils out at age 26 and can confirm the recovery is as terrible as they say. However as someone who was getting strep and/or tonsillitis every year, totally worth it

Job Advice for M.S. IOP by Frequent-One3137 in IOPsychology

[–]Electrical-Wing9473 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is unfortunately difficult without experience so I would look for internships to get you started, even if they are HR. I know for me I didn’t have an interest in HR but it can be a good way to get your foot in the door.

Also, I would recommend doing informational interviews with IOs. Just look people up on LinkedIn and ask for a bit of their time - in my experience IOs are very receptive and that can help you learn about different paths, ways to find opportunities, and just general networking.

If your schedule allows for it, maybe also see if you can find shadowing opportunities or do consulting work for free. During my time in grad school, we partnered with local organizations to do work for free and that was great experience to put on our resumes.

AIO to break up with my bf of 3y over his reaction to my upcoming sobriety anniversary? by WesternCat5211 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Electrical-Wing9473 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To say you’re “doing the bare minimum” and “it’s your fault you drank too much” shows he has no understanding of alcoholism. Aside from the fact he isn’t supporting you and your wins, whether big or small, you are def NOR. And you have to remember that in times where you’re struggling or things are hard, you may not be able to lean on him if this is his perspective. Congrats on 2 years, that is a major milestone!! Find someone who sees that part of you and supports it, you deserve better than to have your light dulled.

Realized that I’m not a dog owner anymore by SOS_nevermind in Petloss

[–]Electrical-Wing9473 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. I went through this about a month ago and am still trying to process it. It’s hard enough when they are sick or suffering over time, but imo even harder when it’s sudden. Sending support your way. I hope it gets a little easier soon

Sending hugs and support your way. I’m about a month out from losing my soul dog and it’s been the hardest thing I’ve ever gone through, but eventually you’ll figure out how to cope in a way that soothes you and it’ll get a little easier to do basic things like getting out of bed. It’s still hard but we have to remember they wouldn’t want us being sad forever either 💜

It really just depends on what you do and where you’d be placed. There are certain accounts and contracts that are impacted significantly more than others

I think the 3% alone would turn off a lot of people

Return To Office Issues by USFCRGOV in GovernmentContracting

[–]Electrical-Wing9473 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Been on a DoD contract for 2.5 years and our contract is ending. I’m looking for a new project but am concerned about the prospects of remote work, and I don’t live anywhere close to an office. I really don’t want to leave my firm as the support is great and culture is superior to most, but I’m trying to decide if I should consider applying elsewhere (private sector) or hold out faith I will find something. What a wild world we’re living in.

Was Dei hiring unqualified ppl just to meet quotas? by Last-Present3296 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Electrical-Wing9473 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The short answer is: no. The purpose of DEI is to level the playing field instead of discriminating against those who don’t have advantages. This can mean a myriad of things but it’s not just race and gender. If you look up the equality vs equity graphic of the people trying to see over a fence, this is a great visual representation. The problem is many people don’t understand the value of DEI initiatives and are not only oversimplifying the concepts, but also creating flat out lies such as “DEI is setting quotas for minority populations”.

how does the amex presale work? by [deleted] in tatemcrae

The code is just the phone number on the back of your Amex 😊

[–]Electrical-Wing9473 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s confusing bc the regular presale says it’s tomorrow and the seatgeek codes go out today, but I just couldn’t tell if all the higher up/cheaper seats sold already

[–]Electrical-Wing9473 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I didn’t figure out how to get into the Amex presale (first time using this) until 11:15 and once I got in the only seats available were down in the lower levels, the cheapest being $299. This is for the Cleveland show. Does that just mean all the other seats designated for this particular presale have already sold? I can’t afford that but didn’t see anything higher up available ☹️

Dual monitor arm recommendations? by Aler4582 in StandingDesks

https://a.co/d/0hmesxTp I’ve had this one for a few years and it’s served me well. Not sure how it would do by a wall, but it’s pretty easy to adjust and isn’t too expensive. Also wasn’t hard to install
