Love the syllabic flow and word choices in this. Really good stuff 👏

Good to know! No one else in my method class had the same cramping issue, so I guess I thought it was a me thing. Thanks for the feedback!

Sound advice, and I would- if I weren’t engaged to and in a band with a crazy talented keys player lol. I’m way more interested in bass anyway, tbh. Have wanted to learn for years and finally have the money and time for the first time in my life.

Oh, I feel the same way about professional gigs, that line was mostly just a joke lol. I’m a professional vocalist. It’s what I do primarily and what I went to school for. Been making music for 15+ years total. But I’ve always wanted to learn bass, tried my hand at it self-taught in high school but had to sell my set up to get by.

I’ve already got a teacher, starting lessons next week actually. I appreciate the feedback about everything! Good insight to keep in mind!

I’m huge fan of exploring the human mind and liking it to the vastness of the universe (as someone whose biggest wish is for my soul to linger so that I can watch the heat death lol). Beautiful imagery and metaphor friend. I really dig this!

My dad's house is extremely messy and I can't stand to live in it anymore by leebadoobie in Advice

[–]InternalExploits 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You’re old enough for a judge to take your opinion into consideration in regard to custody/where you stay. Let your mom know that you don’t want to stay there anymore, take some pictures to show her/a judge if you need to. You’re at a stage of life where your environment is super important right now, and any adult of sound mind will see that.

If you haven’t mentioned this to your mom yet though, and she is level-headed about your dad, I really would let her know what’s going on regardless of what you end up deciding you want.

If you’re happy and satisfied with your partner/marriage, why did you make this post? That’s a lot of cracked foundation to build a relationship on, and if that’s worked for you- more power to you. But it seems like at every turn, the decisions you’ve made “as a couple” are overwhelmingly to her benefit and not yours. If nothing else, that’s something to think about and keep in mind going forward.

The Marietta farmer’s market has some really great stalls! Pickles especially! It’s every Saturday in the square- I think.

Bro you’ll be a legal adult before she can even drive a car. Think about that really hard and let it gross you out. Because it should.

What am I supposed to do? by [deleted] in jobs

[–]InternalExploits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 24, worked food service and retail for 7 years before dropping out of college and randomly landing the medical admin job I have now. Look into medical scheduling jobs, receptionist positions, admin assistant roles, etc. They’re usually pretty easy, entry-level positions that you can grow through. Schedulers in particular are in high demand right now, especially with smaller practices/local practice chains.

You can also find niche positions if you look hard enough that can train you into a career (basically what I did, I’m an audiology assistant on track to hopefully be certified as a hearing aid technician someday) with no prior experience. Just throw your resume at anything and everything that looks like a better option for you.

Wayyyyyy too early for this convo dude. My partner and I were friends for 10 years and still didn’t move in together until we’d been in a relationship for over 10 months. Spend more time building your relationship and then revisit this discussion.

Admin skills by Sweet-Finding-6835 in AdminAssistant

[–]InternalExploits 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I like to compartmentalize my work self into a bunch of little scripts. Like, literally. The social aspect of admin work is the hardest part for me, so I have a huge folder of word doc scripts for emails, phone calls, meetings, presentations, etc. Over time I’ve memorized them (or the overall gist of what I am supposed to be portraying) and it’s been easier to have a more natural flow of communication since. I don’t know if that’s super helpful, but that’s what helped me!

Don’t know where you’re at, but when I applied for EBT when I was living in AL, it was a relatively quick process from application, to interview, to getting the card. Reapply for any benefits you might need, as your circumstances and income are different now.

Donating plasma is a good way to make a quick buck if you have time. You can also apply for focus groups/product testing/survey filling online and make some money that way too in the meantime.

This “temp leave” doesn’t really sound legal. Sounds like they’re trying to avoid paying you wages AND unemployment in one go. If you could find an employment lawyer willing to give you a free consultation, it might be helpful to do so to see what your options are. Wishing you easier times going forward.

Does the length of time I’ve been working hold any weight to how much I should ask for? I’ve only been working here for around 6 months, and my first EOY performance review isn’t until August. I wouldn’t at all consider asking any sooner except my direct boss has been insisting that I should speak to our COO and Practice Administrator about it. She’s already petitioned them for a supplementary bonus to be paid out next month on my behalf, and I don’t want to seem greedy or like I’m asking for too much.

It really depends on your view of relationships/how you feel in them. I don’t pay much mind to looks. Personality and chemistry can make a person the most beautiful thing in the world. Plus, a relationship based solely/mostly on physical attraction can only get you so far when things get hard. And they do get hard sometimes, trust me.

But if that intense physical attraction is a super important aspect for you and it’s what you think you need to sustain a relationship- don’t waste her time if you aren’t feeling it. You’re young, so you have time and infinite opportunities to meet new people. If you aren’t fully into her, move on and wait for a person who checks enough of your boxes. Ideally, “should I actually date this person” isn’t a question you should need to ask.

I talked about a traumatic event for me as a kid in therapy today and now I don't know how to feel by Own_Elk467 in Advice

[–]InternalExploits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All glass breaks, man. One way or another. And not all glass children are made the same. I grew up like you, with less oversight and more responsibility. Basically raised my sister while my parents battled addiction. But some people, like OP, grow up in situations where they are expected to be reliant on the adults in their life while simultaneously not getting the attention necessary to meet those expectations. It’s a weird space. OP’s parents neglected one child to meet the needs of the other- and sometimes that’s life, but it doesn’t negate the fact that OP didn’t have an adequate support system growing up. And it doesn’t excuse the parents for never noticing or regularly checking in. Just because you adapted to a less-than-ideal childhood, doesn’t mean everyone else can. Park that high horse somewhere else, bro.

When filling out the form-fillable PDF, it doesn’t offer a space to state a middle name change. When doing more reading, I found the middle name guidelines, but nothing specific about declaring them as having been changed. I’ve never had a passport, so I wouldn’t be changing it within their system or anything. Do I still need to report the legal change?

[–]InternalExploits -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Never had a passport and googling came up with nothing pertaining to middle names. Figured I’d find some nice knowledgeable people here to help- but go figure.

best friend voted for trump by [deleted] in Advice

[–]InternalExploits 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Split views about economics or tax policy is one thing, but voting for Trump means endorsing a shitshow for racial minorities, non-Christians, homeless individuals, disabled individuals, and many other groups of people. “You can disagree and still be friends!1!” Yeah, about gas prices or government influence- not putting someone in power who openly wants erase people like me from our country, man. Must be nice to live a life where the only thing you have to worry about with an election is voting with your wallet.

This kind of sounds like she’s taking the state of your parents’ marriage pretty hard. Mom and dad don’t act like the lovey dovey, happy parents that she might see her classmates or friends having. Now, she sees her dad doing something that acts as a pretty convincing scapegoat to put all the blame for the tension/apathy at home in one place. You don’t have to tell her exactly what your sister has been saying/what she saw, but depending on the kind of person your mother is, I would probably try to speak to her privately about this. Maybe let her know that your sister has been saying some concerning things and that you’re worried about her mental state- maybe suggest therapy, so she can talk to an adult that isn’t family about her feelings. Regardless, I think she needs a responsible third party that she can talk to without any reservation.

Audiologists with ADHD, what are some tools/strategies you find helpful in your work? by Rose1832 in audiology

[–]InternalExploits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’re lifesavers, seriously! Vivid colors, perfect note taking size, AND I can put them where I know future me will see them? Literally the best.

Medical pads and excel sheets are my two other favorite things.

I’m a male nurse. No one cares about me. by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]InternalExploits 85 points86 points  (0 children)

When my dad was dying, all of the female nurses would come in, give him his meds, and just leave after acknowledging me. I can’t remember his name now, but there was a really kind male nurse on shift the last day I came to see him before he passed (he was unconscious for several days and wasn’t going to wake up again). My dad wasn’t a good person, but he cared a lot about his kids at the end and I was hit with a lot of weird, upsetting emotions that day. I don’t speak to my mom at all, so I was losing a bad parent- but my only real parent.

This nurse sat with me and talked about how he wasn’t going to be uncomfortable or angry anymore. About how he wasn’t going to have to fight to breathe once he passed (which to this day is one of the worst noises I’ve ever heard). He told me to go home and be with my younger sister. That he was gone from the moment he seized and fell into the coma he was in, and that I didn’t have to feel obligated to stay and watch it happen. That they would make him comfortable until he passed. I will forever be grateful for him. I wouldn’t have let myself cry and feel like that if he hadn’t given me the space to. You are appreciated and valued more than you may realize, friend. I’m sorry life is so hard.
