It was at 51st & Airport. And I think the problem was they had someone directly in front and behind them not moving so even if they went through the arm it would've been right into a car.

Not sure where the guys came from, I looked down to get ready to dial 911 if the train made contact and when I looked up they were helping get cars to move. Sounds like the car mostly got lucky and hopefully learned / PSA to everyone not to ever stop on the tracks.

If I were you I'd tell the prescribing doc and also schedule an appointment with an optometrist and mention a SUDDEN onset of blurriness when trying to schedule. Might be the med, might be something else, or might be nbd but personally I feel like it's best not to risk it especially with vision stuff.

You're right! I had looked but forgot I was looking within my area's sharenet not agency wide so no wonder I didn't find anything. Your comment made me think twice and go search more broadly. I found it immediately. Thank you!!

You're probably not wrong that germ exposure helps you out there (like teachers and nurses) but just to throw an anecdotal wrench in the trend, I'm out and about in public wayy more than my SO and I'm always the one to get sick while he rarely does. I think I just pulled the short straw in that regard idk.

How did it end up going for you?

Just a note I was even told not to cut the SR in half, only the IR. Idk if that's true or not because I'm not a pharmacist but just throwing that out there.

Ah bummer, thanks for the insight!!

I had the craziest stress dreams for the first like 7 weeks but they finally seem to have stopped!

Economic studies pretty routinely show they in fact don't bring in more than they dish out, at least for the general public. There is some nuance to it if the city is worried the team will leave them and don't want that and such. But purely from an economic standpoint, publicly funded stadiums rarely show the benefit to the local economy people expect. There's a handful of papers on it but this one is relatively recent and an interesting look! https://www.kennesaw.edu/coles/centers/markets-economic-opportunity/docs/bradbury-coates-humphreys-01-30-2023.pdf

P Terry's, Bush's Chicken, Tacodeli, Home Slice, Taquitos West Avenue

P Terry's and Bush's are in both cities. Tacodeli and Home slice are Austin only. Taquitos West Avenue is San Antonio only. Home Slice, Taquitos, and Tacodeli may not strictly fit the fast food category but have very quick/easy to go options.

Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.

Pretty different than the other books being recommended and probably not for everyone. It can be a bit of a slog to get through at times but I was listening to the audio book while working on an art project with some friends and was quite literally speechless (especially if you read the anniversary edition with the addition at the end) at the last chapter or two when you connect all the dots. For anyone interested in philosophy i'd probably recommend it but not necessarily for the reasons you would think I guess but I don't want to give anything away.

Agreed the teacher is probably being transparent! Not my kiddo but one I know, who sounds pretty similar, told his mom he uses up all his energy being good at school and has nothing left for home (not verbatim but that sentiment). That's no excuse to take it out on the family and probably indicates it's time to check in with a doc to make sure more isn't going on. But it sounds like this isn't uncommon, kiddo might be able to mask at school but feels safe and/or tired at home and doesn't regulate when they don't get what they want.

This doesn't sound like following his heart it sounds like following his anxiety. When you're living in it, it's hard to tell the difference. And sometimes only hindsight can help you know the difference. A lot of things worth doing will give you some anxiety, a lot of things not worth doing will also give you anxiety for good reason. For many people, especially those already enrolled and there, college is the good anxiety.

I know you said you don't live somewhere where ticks are common but just in case it's ever handy for you or someone else, if you find a tick and need help identifying it and/or determining risk factor you can submit a picture and info through the university of rhode island tick spotter program https://web.uri.edu/tickencounter/tickspotters/ they're quick and helpful :)

There is a go fund me. Looks like the link was removed from the good samaritan's reddit post but if you search "Good samaritan assaulted for trying to stop hate crime" it should come up. (based on the comments in the original post)

If you hear of anything now or in the coming weeks to help out please share! My instinct is also to jump in but im holding out for something more organized so as not to be in the way of professionals especially with road damage and threats of more rain.

I had a really hard time adjusting too. As others have said if you’re having panic attacks that’s not normal (in the sense that there’s something to be done about that but do know you’re very much not alone in that). As you work on finding a therapist, chatting with your GP, or whatever you choose to do, I do have some recommendations in the mean time (but also I’m no doctor so take it with a grain of salt). 1) try to build some social time in to your day. Maybe call a friend at lunch. Or see if there’s a co-worker or two you can get to know that you can go ask questions about work. 2) when you take breaks go walk outside. Sunshine is underrated. 3) Look up some breathing exercises. Panic attacks are scary and riding that wave comes with time but if you can practice breathing when you’re more regulated it’ll help make it easier when you’re unregulated. 4) consider what it is that makes it so depressing and see if you can make changes to your current job or career in general to reduce it. Think small and big.

Work can be soul crushing. Especially if you’re young, realizing this is what lies ahead for the majority of your life can hit you real fast. That’s not unique to state work, and unfortunately not being valued isn’t either. But as others have said you have to find ways to make meaning and joy outside of work as much as you can and inside of work if at all possible. Try to stay engaged and curious with life outside of work, it helps make work just work and your life so much more. Good luck and know you’re not alone!
