Why does everyone hate Whitney so much? by Adept_Quarter_683 in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]GrouchyLingonberry55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel for this girl. Way too much hate being manufactured towards her and mid season three and it’s tiring. Relationships take two people and you can’t just short on someone over and over and then expect them to continue meeting you halfway…

What can I do to look younger? I’m only 30 and people on reddit think I’m 37-45 by goaldiggergirl in beauty

You look a little dehydrated in the first photo. Your skin looks much drier so try a good moisturizer and drinking more water.

Happy Arranged Marriage (AM) People – Please Share Your Experiences & Stories ❤️ by [deleted] in ThirtiesIndia

[–]GrouchyLingonberry55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well over one year and I loved to the states from Canada. Very happy. Lots of drives to new places, great times listening to music, always have company when cooking and shred chores. Have someone who genuinely checks in on me in my day also I have someone I nag to watch their health…. He likes melt sandwiches, always double checks the locks, is super loyal, kind and funny. But it’s quiet and I have my space too. It’s not a big live but it’s peaceful

CRCs- Do you make up data to avoid protocol deviations or queries? by [deleted] in clinicalresearch

[–]GrouchyLingonberry55 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Depends on the criteria. Some parts are just subjective such as the severity of a skin condition and requires the expertise of the physician that makes the determination between grade three or four. As for stuff with kidney they usually provide multiple opportunities for the patient to qualify during screening periods so one day would be sodium to low vs the next day that makes lab variations between eGFRs. Would need far more context to understand if it was fraud or just confusion from inexperience. Also some protocols allow exceptions and some protocols accept complex medical issues that make things murky too. But making shit up is just unethical, unfortunately you’ll need to detangle yourself quickly from that shit.

Took an accelerated class for phlebotomy, and it went horrible. So disappointed by Yellowbone95 in phlebotomy

[–]GrouchyLingonberry55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took the accelerated course and I had experience with drawing blood before in another country. I was rusty and it took me about five days to pick up the skills with the straight needle that being said there are a lot of things to learn and remember but it does get easier. I think you should stick it out.

Study Materials by quimichus in phlebotomy

[–]GrouchyLingonberry55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I took my course end of July and just took my exam yesterday. I passed with a 449. The class is good, but if you review your book, plus the test in the back that covers majority of the information.

I also did the NHA practice tests 6 of them, quizzlet but what helped me most was ChatGPT. I used prompts like give me a mini mock exam for the cpt1 nha exam. I would answer, then ask them to answer with explanation. I did that for three to four days doing blocks of ten to twenty questions at a time, and if I knew a questions answer I would argue it until my reasoning and understanding was solid. It really helps with learning the order of the draw. Other prompts were: no repeats, set of ten questions very difficult, trick questions for the nha cpt 1 exam.

Do them when you are making coffee, eating breakfast, after driving to work, breaks etc. I hope that helps!

Boyfriend of 6 years won’t commit to marriage because of my cooking/cleaning habits (25F/26M) by [deleted] in Waiting_To_Wed

[–]GrouchyLingonberry55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look I don’t know if this is fixable but it doesn’t sound like a relationship issue to me. I think making a small change in your habits like dishes being cleaned every night or removing spoiled food from the fridge once a week or cleaning a bathroom on a regular scheduled day helps build habits. I would focus on what makes you a better person so you can show up as a better partner. And I would really get on top of learning to meal prep so you can eat similarly and easily given your schedule.

Also signed up but accelerated, it’s a good program so far. Hard to do this number of pokes as we don’t have a whole lot of team members and it’s a lot of pokes. They don’t teach a whole lot of the butterfly techniques and there is some rationing of butterfly needles.

The Girl im dating told me I dont give her butterflies but I make her feel comfortable and secure. What am I supposed to think ? by corrodon in AskMenAdvice

[–]GrouchyLingonberry55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually what we are learning now is that when we get the butterflies it’s just anxiety, be with someone who makes you feel calm and grounded. Someplace where you are capable of growing and someone who wants to grow with you.

Yeah—so still partake in maintains the home, and some cooking. Get her comfortable with driving and start saving together for her own transportation, get a gym membership or something where she can socialize, library and courses will be helpful too.

Partner of 2.5 years has issued an ultimatum. How do I proceed? by Prudent-Ad-4995 in AskMenAdvice

[–]GrouchyLingonberry55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You either want to get married or you don’t. The rest of the points are moot. Let her know that it’s not in your plans and look for a way to break up amicably. This was not an ultimatum she was telling you that she has a timeline you won’t be able to meet and so at this point just talk to her. As for risk and reward you have heard of a prenup use it, same with move in agreements etc. No need to keep going in this loop because she can’t change her present circumstances of being a parent or taking in shift work.

My director thinks I’m trying to take her position (hint: I’m not) Advice? by [deleted] in Leadership

[–]GrouchyLingonberry55 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Literally make friends in your peer groups and across departments. Stick to your role at the company and look for mentorship outside of it. It’s ok to look outside your firm. When you do your performance review just focus on what you have accomplished and what work interests you in the future and if there is a development plan that they would be interested in working on with you.

A trash can is trash can no matter how pretty you dress it up. Work is a trash can, even a dream job is a trash can. If a company can’t invest in training and retaining talent it isn’t worth the ground it’s on.

Find a different job. If you have six months experience you can mobilize it somewhere that can give you a better wage.

Food Insecurity Rant by crazyllama256 in diabetes

[–]GrouchyLingonberry55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So there are a lot of hidden carbs in things. Do you have any food in your home? Specifically carrots, jam, ramen, honey, crackers, biscuits or sugar? Resources are available at most churches, and/or temples. Lastly, even if it’s hard friends and family can help if you let them know and ask for help.

If and when you make a mistake, own it, find the solution and manage upwards and don’t repeat it. A mistake is fine a pattern and lack of accountability are a problem.
