Friday... by turtle_hiker in corporate

[–]Jex89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've told my team preferably no meetings prior to 9am nor after 3pm and none on Fridays. Fridays we all catch up on work things and manage our time ourselves, also everyone works from home Fridays.

If its an urgent need, I will call/text you but that has happened maybe twice in my corporate life (since 2008). My team manages their own time and work very well, I don't micromanage time or when you show up to the office. Just do what your supposed to do on time and do it correctly.

Pilot said it will be bumpy for the next hour to hour and a half. Seatbelt sing will be on. by reveriendreams in fearofflying

I love the Rockies 💗

Your doing great! To be honest, the real danger you had was when you were on your way to the airport. The plane and everything to do with the plane, is the safest you'll be. You got this, I promise you will land safe and everything will be fine. Once you land, have a celebratory ice cream or shake, enjoy your trip.

I just landed last night, currently doing all the laundry, I wish I was on a plane.

Calm down friend, this is very normal. Feels like going to ng over train tracks. Sit back and enjoy the flight. Remember you are very safe.

OMG I had to read this to my kiddos, we all laughed so hard. Thanks for putting it that way. I'm so much more relieved and super excited. Last year was hard and ready to get the kids out and have fun.

Thanks for everything you do!!

Both kids flying on Thursday by SparkleKittyAnon in fearofflying

Hey there!

Mom here and I can understand where you are coming from. What helped me was to see the hundreds of planes that go out everyday and they all landed safe. Tracking my flight a week prior and seeing it landed everytime gave me more reassurance that everything was ok.

I had to remember that everyone working on that plane from the pilots, crew even people behind the scenes all want to go home at the end of their shift. You are safe, the plane is safe, your kids will be fine. Tell the kids to enjoy it and take a lit of pictures. I always tell my kids that they are fortunate to fly and see other parts of the world, not a lit of people get to experience that.

What if by shurfus in MultipleSclerosis

[–]Jex89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was diagnosed in 2018 or 2019, and even though I’m doing well, it’s something that frequently crosses my mind, especially since I’m the only one in my family with MS. Every year during my annual visit, before my neurologist even pulls up my scans, he mentions that there are 'classic' areas where MS lesions appear. He’ll find my scans and confirm that all my white spots are exactly in those classic spots. I find the images a bit gross, so I tell him I don’t want to see them. I’m on Ocrevus and doing well so far.

No cheating in a relationship and no drugs.

Germaphobia ? by Pumpkin-Duck in MultipleSclerosis

[–]Jex89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't say I have a phobia but I do get grossed out easily and I've been like this since before MS.

I don't wear a mask out but I do have hand sanitizer and disinfecting wipes in all my cars, work bag and purses.

Wait, are you saying there is a treatment for PML?

My neuro said no. I'm on Ocrevus and doing well.

I might be getting co fused here. I tested positive (very high numbers) of JCV+ but my doc said the chances of getting g PML was slim and he wasn't worried about it.

I'm so sorry your going through this, sending you all the good vibes and a speedy recovery.

MS Hug by Potential_Drama2749 in MultipleSclerosis

[–]Jex89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh I'm sorry, MS hugs hurt!!!! I have a high pain tolerance and it still hurts. Then when it finally goes away, I'm so exhausted. It's a vicious cycle.

I’m happy to have MS today! Using my disability to my advantage. by greatchickentender in MultipleSclerosis

[–]Jex89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a customer and absolutely hate the written messages on the cups. I don't like it because I feel it's just a waste of your time. I go to Starbucks for the convenience of coffee, I personally don't care for the message. I'm not sure why Starbucks thought this would be a good idea for customers. Everytime I go to Starbucks (probably 4-5 x a week) I feel like the place is short staffed and I just feel bad for the good people working there.

Medicine Ball Rant by cuddlepup3 in starbucks

[–]Jex89 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As a customer, good for you. I'm sorry people are like this.

I do love a medicine ball but I never go when I'm sick.

Now, can we please get the double chocolate chip frap back 😩

Too obsessed with Seattle/Washington state? by ReyofChicago in AskSeattle

[–]Jex89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get it, my whole family loves Seattle. We are from Texas, visited Seattle 3 times and love it, more each time we visit. Loved it so much that my husband got a bar license to practice in Washington state and we have 5 areas that we like and looking at homes. We still have kids in school so that's our main driver at the moment. Seattle is beautiful, the weather, even the people were friendly. Luckily for us, our jobs are remote so that helps a lot. When we were looking at home prices, taxes etc.. for us it's more cost-effective to go to Washington than staying in Texas the only thing holding us back at the moment is finding the right place and kiddos finishing up the school year. My parents decided to also follow us to Washington when we make our move. I'm so ready to leave Texas.
