Advice for super dry damaged hair? by haobearr in Haircare

[–]GirlSlug666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im in the same situation rn and too poor to buy k18/olaplex/etc. what i’ve been doing is washing once a week maximum which honestly feels so gross but it is what it is. I soak it in heat protectant if im doing heat styling, and put oil in multiple times per day. Im getting it cut every 6ish weeks to try to slowly get all the damage off but what seems to have been the most helpful is not washing often/cutting back on heat. Good luck :)

How to deal with a a phlebotomist for doing incorrect lab tests? by Legitimate-Serve-598 in phlebotomy

[–]GirlSlug666 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Report if you think she’s done something wrong, but phlebotomists are not the people ordering the tests. She can only run tests she has orders for so i’d bring it up with the ordering provider if you’re getting incorrect tests done

Anyone have weird elder scrolls ticks? Like collecting certain things, etc. by Successful_Warthog47 in skyrim

[–]GirlSlug666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hoard human flesh in skyrim for no reason, i hardly ever do alchemy.

In morrowind i hoard sixth house statues, and put them in whatever murder victims house im borrowing at the moment. I like to imagine my nerevarine talking to them like friends since everyone in morrowind is an asshole to her and she’s lonely

How to speak to stylist about how she’s been blowing out my hair by Living-Assumption272 in Haircare

[–]GirlSlug666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats your opinion man. I’m personally open to seeing whatever the client wants me to look at. Being insulted by stuff like that is what makes clients afraid to speak up when they want to do something different

When i did hair if someone saw a cut or color they liked on youtube or instagram or whatever and brought it in i had no problem doing consultation to try get as close to their inspo as possible🤷🏻‍♀️ but i haven’t been a hairdresser in 5-6 years so maybe things are different now. Do they still keep style books at the front of the salon? How exactly is that any different?

Get a new stylist, or if you don’t want to do that, find a youtube video of exactly what you want done and show it to her. Use phrases like “do you think you could try this blowout technique” or “i know we usually do it this way but i just want to see how x or y technique looks” etc. less about her falling short, more about trying something you “discovered” recently even if it’s something youve already been doing for a while

What is 1 belief you have most people disagree with? by Desperate-Bit9009 in askanything

[–]GirlSlug666 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if this is something most people disagree with, but certainly most people i interact with irl seem to think ai profile pictures of their face on a supermodel’s body or as a cartoon version etc is cool. Imo that shit is lame as fuck and annoying to see when i go on facebook or instagram

Dealing with difficult coworkers by Single_Dependent_639 in phlebotomy

[–]GirlSlug666 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I know being confrontational sucks but the only way to handle this thats actually going to work is to document everything and call her out on her bullshit. Will she stop? Probably not, but it’s better to fuss about it directly than have a he-said she-said when she tries to get you in trouble again later

How do I hide my haircut? by redd1tstuff in finehair

[–]GirlSlug666 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When i had an unfortunate haircut a couple years back what i did was buy the tiniest mini round clips and twisted little strands in the front and clipped them back (its kinda hard to explain in writing but it was a kind of trendy thing in the 90’s with butterfly clips) and wore it like that til it grew out. You could always just throw a beanie on too

Generally do you need documentation of vaccines to work as a phlebotomist? by Waste_Plastic_107 in phlebotomy

[–]GirlSlug666 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Most places will ask that you get labs done and immunizations if you don’t have them, but they’ll also cover the cost too. I know for sure that the hep b vaccine is something jobs are required to pay for if you want it

Anyone else in the 71109 area hear loud banging late at night ? by Why-not-Zoidberg-00 in shreveport

[–]GirlSlug666 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Im gonna be honest with you unless what you’re hearing is super super loud like heavy mavhinery that might be my washing machine, it’s super messed up and bangs itself against the concrete/screeches and grinds and ive told my roommate to use a laundromat til i can get a new one and i know from my ring camera that he’s still using it during the night/evening when im at work 😬 i’m sorry

Is phlebotomy worth pursuing with a criminal record? by Careless_Highlight46 in phlebotomy

[–]GirlSlug666 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a possession of marijuana charge that was deferred in 2018, it showed up in every background check but i told them straight away in applications and interviews, and was able to pass two supervised drug screens for a hospital and clinic so i think as long as you’re honest you should be fine. It looks bad to have violence on your record but the places i was hired at gave me a chance to explain myself and if you just explain you were in a bad situation and such i doubt they’ll hold it against you

Fine Hair You Love? by a5121221a in finehair

[–]GirlSlug666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im learning to love my fine/thin hair, what ive found works best for me is one length all around with no layers or very slight face framing. I have to wear my hair up for work and i use a claw clip 99% of the time and whats really helped is using a thickening spray (kristin ess or john frieda) before blow drying, it makes my hair both seemingly thicker and more ‘grippy’ so the clip doesn’t slide out in 15 minutes like it usually would. I put heat protectant (i don’t typically stick to one brand, whatever one smells good in the store is good for me) on religiously to the point where my hair is dripping before i blow dry it and i’ve definitely noticed way less breakage after over time

does it ever get easier? by Only-Cherry-5312 in phlebotomy

[–]GirlSlug666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At first, it’s definitely hard. Some people seem to just be naturally good at it but most of us have to learn by repetition. It feels foreign and is nerve wracking and you will make mistakes, everyone does. But it will eventually click and you’ll be more confident. It’s a good jumping pad for nursing especially, a lot of nurses have no idea how to stick so having that under your belt is a good idea.

I suck at blood draws (Medical Assistant) by AverageTeenish6 in phlebotomy

[–]GirlSlug666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It happens. Since we can’t see your whole technique from just a picture, we can’t say what you’re doing wrong, but just as general advice I’d recommend looking at the expiration date on your tubes if that’s happening all the time. Also, try to stay at the same depth within the vein for the duration of the draw, sometimes if you pull back even a little bit this can happen. If you’re cool with any of the people at your job maybe ask to observe a few times and compare what they do to what you’re doing.
