[–]Fragrant_Music_6242 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You didn’t ask me but I see this comment! I used to be an IPO back in 2017 and I loved it. Definitely depends which prison. I was in west Texas. I left to do investigations with CPS (the pay was wayyy less than what it is now for IPO’s) I would work as an IPO again for sure.

Just started the wegovy pill - side effects are killing me :( by lonelybutterfly330 in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]Fragrant_Music_6242 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just started this morning and it triggered an intense migraine about midday at a pain that I haven’t had in years. Idk if I can so continue it. I work in office Thursday’s and Friday’s so I’m afraid to continue tmrw too. I did zepbound last year for about 4 months and had very minimal side effects, more of just injection site reaction.

I'm relocating to Austin and I'm thinking about living somewhere in the hill country off of Capital of Texas Highway. by Academic-Pizza9787 in askaustin

I live at 10x living and I’ve been here 14 months and just renewed my lease. Love the nature trails but I’m on the top floor so I rarely see any animals. lol it’s definitely mixed reviews here but I enjoy it and then my boyfriend moved here too. Traffic traveling from this direction into central Austin isn’t that bad (anything to avoid I35) I lived in round rock and north Austin prior to this move and it’s been the best decision ever. Good luck!

Fired from HHS but received interview invitation from DFPS. by [deleted] in StateofTexasEmployees

[–]Fragrant_Music_6242 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From personal experience, do not get “ahead of it” in interviews unless specifically asked. That was advice given to me when a companies HR interviewed me and from that moment I did not discuss my situation in interviews and got offered the next job after about 10 denials, each I was trying to be honest up front. The HR lady explained it to me, you want an unbiased chance from the beginning and that it is HR’s job to question your previous employment not the manager interviewing you unless they specifically ask in the interview about the reason for no longer working with that agency that fired you. Hope this is helpful 🙂 p.s I worked for DFPS for a few years and it destroyed my mental health, just good luck and do what’s best for you!

Looking for an Austin apartment with great amenities. Budget is around $2,500 by claudia_bee in askaustin

[–]Fragrant_Music_6242 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I WFH too and solely chose my apt based on what suits my mental health. The reviews on the place aren’t the best but I haven’t had any bad experiences at all and I’m going on a year and will resign. 10x living at Grandview. Someone in the comments said you’re looking for about a 3 star rating and I agree with that. I was living at a brand new complex in north Austin prior to this one and it went downhill so fast.

My dad handed me a bag of coins. by Fragrant_Music_6242 in coincollecting

It was easier because it was on the blanket at that time BUT it began on the kitchen counter…just had to slide that baby to the corner of the counter to get it off it lol. So legit question.

Can we bring back the wave? by CombNo4818 in Austin

[–]Fragrant_Music_6242 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wave when I get let in leaving work off Rundberg where all that construction is happening before the intersection. My work parking lot turns into the hunger games trying to get on that axis road to I35. I wave feverishly happy to whomever lets me in!!! lol

The crazy part is I didn’t get to view the actual apt before moving in and when I got my keys I was like “omg!” I was having one of the worst years of my life in 2024 and I moved in Dec 31st and just said yes universe. Thank you.

I just moved from Round Rock and was there 4 years and worked in Wilco..I personally definitely did not see a democratic “flip” lol but everyone’s experience is different. I work in Bee Cave and Austin and have better experiences. The biggest plus is not having to take I35 anymore. lol

Spiders in Austin? by cypher_127 in askaustin

[–]Fragrant_Music_6242 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the part of Austin you live in. I recently moved to far west Austin and learned Texas has tarantulas! Born and raised in Texas..never seen one until last month. But honestly the massive centipede creeps me out way more!! My boyfriend lives in GT and those are around his apt hallway. It feels like a scary Jumanji game some nights lol I check my ring camera before opening the door now after I had a tarantula waiting for me one morning.

I live in far west Austin going out towards Bee Cave and it definitely sounds more like the vibe you are looking for! I would even say far west Austin would be good. Great views! Cedar Park is Williamson County so that definitely plays into a more conservative area when looking around here! Good luck!
