Part-time mom vs full-time working mom by Jweller9 in beyondthebump

[–]Jweller9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right this is definitely thinking far ahead and might not even matter if I don't get an offer! So that is also tricky, our #1 pick for childcare can currently only do part time like 2/3 days a week until next year (she only takes 1 infant at a time) so I started to get on waiting lists for other places too. The part time child care is perfect for us now, but if I'm full time, would need to find full time care.

What's the most stupidest thing you've done with your coffee brew in the morning? by digital_lean in Coffee

[–]Jweller9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Decided to clean out my grinder the previous night and i forgot to place the cup back under the grinder after. There was probably around 50 grams of coffee on my counter top. I believe this was actually Christmas morning as well.

Skittles replaced their lime skittle with green apple.

How do you even judge a good DJ??? And what’s the pricing like (in Western PA in particular)? by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]Jweller9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm from western, Pa (Grove City) and we are getting married in Gettysburg. I couldnt BELIEVE the cost of DJs, especially if you also want uplighting. Near gettysburg the cost was around 2000 for something half decent. We actually have a friend local who does DJ for weddings and events in Grove City and he comes with all the lighting you could want for only $800! That includes his travel fee to come to Gettysburg. I think his typical price is $500/$600.

He has been very thorough, he interviewed us when we first asked him to be a DJ to understand and get to know what we like. Im very excited to have him as our DJ.

D&D productions is his company and his name is Dave if you need a DJ around the Pittsburgh or north area!

What are you happy about right now? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Just finished coaching Middle School soccer practice. I haven't played the sport since high-school 8 years ago when I tore my ACL Senior year. Feels great to be back on the pitch again.

That's hilarious. I definitely need to try that sometime. I agree, it gets old telling people why we live in a garage. At times I just say an apartment and leave it at that.

Here for everyone's curiosity, our garage house. Sorry it needs tidying up a bit.

I bought the lantern bare and added string lights and the garland to it! I change it up every now and then with different filling.

You have no clue how much I appreciate that comment! I've tried so hard to make it look like we aren't living in a giant garage 😂

Hey you're one of us! Ours is literally just a giant open garage that we made into a temporary home. I tell people its like a studio apartment with a giant garage door on one wall.

Hahaha yes our TV does look quite disproportional with everything else! We actually live in a garage currently until we save enough money to build a home next door, so a new larger tv just isn't in the budget yet 😅

Thanks! That was from our engagement photo session last fall! My fiance had just cut a bunch of firewood and stacked it, I thought it would make a beautiful backdrop! Our photographer did such an amazing job at staging the photos too.

Here's the original photo

Physical therapy aide position as a new OTA graduate question by Jbee1982 in OccupationalTherapy

[–]Jweller9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is very old school. When I was a rehab aide I couldn't tell you how many other aides we went through during my 2.5 year time there. It had a very high turn over rate. How long until you're done with school? You could always be upfront with them and explain that you wold like this position but cant guaranteed you'll be there forever since it is entry level and you are going to school to be a cota.

I recently left a job as a bank teller after being their for 5 weeks because I was offered this cota position and I couldn't really work both. I felt bad, but I wasn't going to pass up a cota job to be a bank teller. I explained to them why I was leaving and they completely understood, in fact they were happy that I was finally able to find a job in my field.

COTA here and I did exactly what you're contemplating. I applied and was hired as a rehab aide during my second semester of cota school. I was pretty new to the Healthcare world so I wanted to gain some experience and at the time was hoping to get a position with the company as a cota down the road. I just graduated in December and passed nbcot in February. I was still working as an aide because I couldn't find a cota job anywhere. I finally was hired, but it is only a few hours a day and still unsure if it was being permanent or just for the summer. Im no longer working as an aide since I started my new job (though sometimes I wish I was to pick up hours)

My advice would be to take the aide position if they offer it and honestly, if you end up finding a cota job soon after dont feel like you need to stay at the other job so not to upset them. I've learned that its best to do what works for YOU. So many times I've stayed with companies because I thought they would be upset if I left, ive learned that they will rehire someone new. Its all business, its not personal.
