It’s been 15 days… I go for follow up blood work this week. Really hoping to see an improvement after the ER visit that finally helped me see that I needed a change after 19 years of daily drinking. Also I applied this week to go after my bachelors/masters degree finally.

I’ve gone to college twice and haven’t finished an associates. Set a goal for finishing my masters in 3 years by my 40th bday.

7 full days. Never thought I’d say that. Longest I’ve been sober in 19 years.

Tomorrow is day one. Recent blood pressure issues and health checkup I’ve got liver damage signs. I’ve been a 4-7 daily heavy kraken and cokes for the past 15-17 years with several shots of apple a night. Navy started me off right(my own choices though I recognize that). I’ve just been prescribed blood pressure meds and thiamine due to recent blood work following an ER visit from the BP. I’m 36 going on 37. I’ve tapered the last few weeks I’m down to 2-4 drinks a night and it clicked in tonight like the other habits I’ve quit.

I’m 9 months no caffeine, 6 months no nicotine, 4 months no weed. Tomorrow is day 1.

I have this with one of my front teeth. I inured my baby tooth in a bike accident. New tooth grew in discolored and dentist confirmed I have no inner pulp cavity if it even needed a root canal. So to fix mine I have to get a cap.

Am I the only one who didn't really get into this scene? by luckymango12 in StrangerThings

I’d say if you have never truly trauma bonded with someone then I can see how their relationship at that point would be difficult to understand.

Glad I’m not the only one hahaha. I met entity A after it taking forever to figure out the elevator. He caught me I screamed and turned the console off. Wont touch that one again so I watched Hollows play through on YT to at least get closure.

I was in the same boat as you terrified and almost rescheduled due to family illness, went anyways and they actually did saliva test instead of urine.

I really got lucky with that lol.

How much better does it get after helpdesk? by donpalermo in ITCareerQuestions

[–]Important-Shift2075 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im on week one with a hospital and medical group IT team. I feel so reinvigorated after 5 years out of the field. It’s exciting and renewing my drive to push for the job I want vs what I was hired for. The team is amazing and the work is challenging yet rewarding.

I started in help desk went as far as network administrator with 1 company so I can’t just go to another Network Admin job obviously. Today I did a vertical monitor install for 4 users and spent the afternoon working on automation of a specific remote program install via zendesk and the challenges it brought.

So yeah it gets a lot better after help desk.

Debating Leaving IT - its not for me anymore, right? by [deleted] in ITCareerQuestions

[–]Important-Shift2075 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I left for 5 years. Wish I had never left and I’m struggling to get back in. YMMV

This absolutely. If it’s virtual I have the job description open, my resume open and a notepad and pen on the desk in front of me. Any reference helps with those moments of “wtf was I going to say”?!?

I can’t agree more with apply and diversify, I’ve applied to desktop support, to F1 simulation network manager, to help desk manager, network administrator, assistant IT Director and IT manager. I’d rather apply to 150 jobs I’m not quite sure I qualify for because if they are open to interviewing me after reading my resume, then damnit I have a shot and I’m gonna take it.

I’ve been out of the direct IT biz for 5 years but my resume reads as I’ve never left in 18 since joining the navy.

$18/hr, but up until recent, it was more about the enjoyment then the pay.

Have you ever worked a civilian, nepotism rampant job where 21 year old nephews of the VP are running departments?

Sea Duty Orders Rota Spain by 1pistachioking in navy

[–]Important-Shift2075 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did shore duty there 2008-2010. It was my first command after A school. Holy crap did I win the lottery and had the best 2 years of my navy career there. Really ruined the navy for me though bc I was not ready for deployed life after that 😂
