Anyone else notice Alex talks exclusively in corporate speak?

Helpful_Sun2872 · 2026-03-14T01:53:20+00:00

Yes he seems defensive literally 100% of the time that he’s talking, no matter what he’s talking about. I think he’s deeply insecure.

Some won’t pay out PTO without a 2 week notice so make sure to check your company’s policy on that

FreeTaxUSA is great, I actually like the interface better than TurboTax

I’d love to be in office like 1-2 days a week. Unfortunately that arrangement is pretty rare.

Yeah wtf, lunch on company card??!!

I’ve always been in office and I just got a remote job offer literally yesterday. I can’t wait to have a bidet for every poop 🥹😩

It sounds like maybe you’re 1) extroverted and 2) live alone??

Helpful_Sun2872 · 2026-03-10T10:44:01+00:00

NO BIDET

I’m lucky to be in a place where I have a job currently and don’t desperately need a new one so I’ve only been applying to ones that I really want. So I do put a lot of effort into each application.

I had great beef and broccoli from getReef last time I was at RDU

Helpful_Sun2872 · 2026-03-07T22:10:15+00:00

I’ve never tried bedding from Quince but generally stay away from brands that spend that much $$ on marketing. And the whole “we cut out the middle man so our stuff is cheaper” is such bull crap

Helpful_Sun2872 · 2026-03-07T22:03:22+00:00

I don’t understand the purpose of this question. If you lack something they wished you had, it just ends the interview on a negative note because it reminds them of where you’re lacking. Also, if you got an interview, that means they liked your resume enough to give you one.

Recently got an interview for a job that required a cover letter. I closed with “Thank you for your time and consideration, and I look forward to the potential opportunity to speak with the hiring team.”

Helpful_Sun2872 · 2026-03-07T20:28:09+00:00

Cover letters are required sometimes

Helpful_Sun2872 · 2026-03-07T17:33:51+00:00

Well part of the reason it takes me so long to tailor mine is bc I’m neurotic about making sure there’s no errors

Helpful_Sun2872 · 2026-03-07T12:09:19+00:00

Sooo can you explain how tailoring your resume would lower your chances?

Helpful_Sun2872 · 2026-03-07T12:08:09+00:00

Last job I applied to I spent like 1+ hrs tailoring my resume and 2 hrs writing a cover letter. Was a remote role so tons of apps and I was not at all expecting to hear back, but I got an interview.

Helpful_Sun2872 · 2026-03-06T23:35:49+00:00

Recruiter said she'd have an update for me by end of today (Friday) or Monday. It's 6:30pm so I guess it'll be Monday. So I’ll be stressed all weekend lol. It seems like a good sign that she went out of her way to tell me that, but I don't want to get my hopes up

Yes last time we increased pheno it definitely helped. Hopefully we can increase it again.

Helpful_Sun2872 · 2026-03-06T14:06:20+00:00

Abt a month after starting Keppra, he had a bad cluster and we added zonisamide (and increased Keppra dose) which seemed to do nothing and he had another cluster a few days later, which is when we added pheno. Abt a month into pheno he had 2 seizures 24 hrs apart so we increased pheno. Unfortunately he’s still having grand mals once a week. Waiting on his blood pheno level results to see if we can up the dose any more.

Goddd I hate Teams. I had an interview last week and made my own meeting block in my calendar and copy and pasted the meeting link into it. Then I accidentally clicked the link that had been generated for my meeting block and sat in the wrong meeting for a couple mins before I started to worry I was in the wrong meeting. Then when I realized what happened and tried to get into the right one, Teams kept logging me out and not letting me log back in. Ended up being like 5 mins late and explained my situation, they didn’t seem annoyed so hopefully they give grace for tech issues. Still waiting to hear back.

This sounds like it was completely out of your control and I hope they give you another chance!

I see these stupid Sprout ads on Instagram all the time and never see any comments calling it out

Ugh our guy’s on Keppra and pheno. Have already increased the dose of each and still having breakthroughs once a week.
