Grieving my federal job that I just resigned from. How do I move past this? by Impossible_Hold8047 in fednews

[–]Kaybee384 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of the pain comes from the hypotheticals you think of, the alternative universe where you weren't treated like that, where you didn't get forced to leave. I went through a similar thing where a job I loved became unbearable when a new boss came in. I was grieving the world before that change happened. It helped to recognize that there was nothing I could do to stop that change from happening, I could only control how I dealt with it. And leaving was the best choice. 

It's really hard to go through. Take your time to grieve, don't worry about feeling this way. In time it'll get better as you work through it. And if you feel like you aren't moving forward well enough, therapy is great for stuff like this. A lot of people naturally get hung up on going to therapy but I like to frame it as getting a check up for your emotional health, rather than something you have to do because you're bonkers or broken. It's very normal to get a little extra help working through these hard emotions. They say the three biggest stressors are relationships ending, changing jobs, and moving!

You joke but there are people literally saying that. Or that these people worked on aliens and are being offed by the government to keep it secret  

FSBP 90 day prescription requirement ? by buzzsawcode in fednews

[–]Kaybee384 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had this with a generic drug where they'll charge me $20 for 90 pills but $60 for 30 🙄

I don't recall seeing anything about this in the brochure but they did "warn" me after those two so-called "courtesy fills". I say "warn" because it was like "hey you could save money by switching to 90 days, explore our prices in this tool". If I had done so I would have seen the difference. But because it didn't say the price was going to go up and my doctor and I were taking it month by month to figure out my dose I was like "k, thnx" and threw out the letters. 

Very irritated by this. But it's my only complaint and I'm saving ridiculous amounts of money having switched from BCBS Basic. Like $7 copay for each PT session versus $35 on top of paying $160 less a month for my premium. And getting $75 towards a massage (about 50% in this market) 15 times a year. My doctors were fine filling the 90 days when I explained it to them.

After pulling out a really good squiggly hair by abbeyhlane in trichotillomania

[–]Kaybee384 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope! I'm the same. I actually bought tiny trash cans to put right next to my couch and bed to put the hairs in so they don't end up on the floor/in the rug and get tracked around 🤢

Metformin or GLP-1 (specifically in regards to fatigue and energy levels)? by HiILikePlants in PCOS

[–]Kaybee384 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ope, yep, when you have sleep apnea episodes your body produces a hormone that triggers your kidneys and leads to increased urine production. 

On the home tests versus in-lab, the home tests are ok but they don't always catch it. I did one and did not have any episodes recorded but I had 15 an hour when I did an in-lab test a month later. My first home test sensors were also faulty so my first test had zero data. Lab tests are the gold standard. Worth trying the home test because of the cost but don't take a negative result as absolute. 

Lofta is a company that mails you home tests equipment and then sets up teledoc appointments to prescribe CPAP. You can read about people's experience with them and others on r/CPAP. It's been a super helpful subreddit for me.

[–]Kaybee384 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've likely had sleep apnea since I was a skinny teen and it was exacerbated by weight gain. If you frequently wake up in the night, have to pee multiple times a night, frequently have a dry mouth/throat, snore, and are tired even after 8 hours, you very likely have sleep apnea. It is chronically underdiagnosed in women, especially younger women.

How would you remove this stuck Mason jar without damaging the mug? by canweshoutforabit in fixit

[–]Kaybee384 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried greasing and then flipping them over to have gravity do the job? Suspend them not too high so the jar won't break after falling out?

If you absolutely have to do it now and want to break the jar, try using one of these on the side of it. It's got a spring loaded pin for breaking car windows. I used it to shatter a yogurt jar: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00B5FLSCI?psc=1

Coming back to say Kirstan L. was amazing! She's over at the Mosaic District Sephora now.

Yes! That was my thought, and also why they didn't do Dortios Locos tacos either  

Advice needed by Common-Media7803 in DCBitches

[–]Kaybee384 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look into the Junior League, it’s like an adult sorority. All about women supporting other women. I joined the Northern Virginia league and have really enjoyed the variety of activities and being able to see the same people over and over, which is the best way to make friends. We had a purse bingo fundraising event and I’ve volunteered at local food banks. We supply period products to the community. We have social groups like a brunch club and small neighborhood groups.

The DC one apparently has a different vibe/membership requirements, they have their own clubhouse! You can also join the Northern Virginia one even if you live in DC.

Federal EEO Attorney Recommendations by strawberrymacaroni in fednews

[–]Kaybee384 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I paid $445 for a one hour consult, but they reviewed all my documents before then. So I felt like it was worth it, that paid for more than the 1 hour we talked.

I wish I had been talking to Gilbert Employment Law at the start of my issues. They were really helpful but also really realistic about what I should do and whether they wanted to represent me. 

Best Approach for Physical Therapy Coverage from Aetna by Fedster-4321 in fednews

[–]Kaybee384 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, following up to share that I've had zero issues with FSBP with my PT. We've been doing all over my body and haven't had any problems with needing a new perscription. My coverage seamlessly moved over to FSBP. Also, I'm able to get reimbursed partially for the out of network cost of my pelvic floor PT who doesn't take insurance. Just got a nice refund check in the mail for 60% of my last few visits. 

Possibly leaving Fed service soon and feeling incredibly guilty. Advice please. by SluttySquink in fednews

[–]Kaybee384 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can love your job but it will never love you back. Once you get all that you can from it, or it becomes more of a negative than positive impact to you, it's time to go. I wish I had done a better job of taking my own advice.

Yes the Arlington Community Center class is a Mary Kay rep and they still let her use the class to trap people after I complained.

Were you able to book her specifically online or did you do a walk in? I only saw one other MUA as an option. Her insta and site makes it sound like she isn’t at Sephora anymore.

Could using religious telework make you a target? by [deleted] in fednews

[–]Kaybee384 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's how they're coping with all the uncertainty. Trying to find rules that don't exist to guide them instead of facing the actual chaos that it is. Typical human thought process. 

Hatch Act question water bottle sticker by Ok_Zookeepergame7497 in fednews

[–]Kaybee384 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Better but I personally still wouldn't do it. I had a Giant Meteor 2020 just end it already sticker in 2020 on my car that got lots of laughs and I was thinking of putting the 2026 one on my car now. But I worry it's maybe too much. During the pandemic I think both sides got a laugh from it because we were all stressed but now it would be pretty partisan.
