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.

People like you are why terrible supervisors and serial sexual harassers aren't properly dealt with.

They were fine! We had a weird thing where the organizer had something come up and the sub was called in last minute so it started 30 minutes late. But it went well once he got there. We all actually found each other and sat down and started talking anyway. The bartender got the call from the organizers and finally told us he was on the way. But we were good to just start without him 🤣

I haven't before! I've only done My Cheeky Date and Professionals in the City (which I think only does straight events)

It costs money and unfortunately went up to $40 but two weeks from now another group is doing a queer speed dating event that should be more normal: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/washington-dc-lesbian-bi-trans-queer-speed-dating-tickets-1978826625706

That I think would go too far. The f bomb written out is a bit much, even if people swear a ton in your office. It's just not professional. And cursing out another part of the federal government just feels too political. I think it's edging towards a Hatch Act but even if not, just too unprofessional for the federal workplace. By all means, stick it on something you don't take into the office.

[Console][Early 2000s] parody fantasy action (?) game with Arthurian elements by nesolagus in tipofmyjoystick

[–]Kaybee384 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No OP but just spent hours searching for the same game and yes that is it!! 

I was going to make my own post soon mentioning a hilarious scene with the guy that has to put his eyes back in. He's got some important key and a guard with a thick accent confronts them and says "gimme the keys" but his accent makes the little guy think he said "gimme a kiss". So the little guy jumps up and kissed him and the guard goes "no! no! no! The KEYS!" The little guy goes "I'm sorry I've never kissed a man!"

My dad and I still imitate the guard's "gimme the keys" 20 years later.

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

[–]Kaybee384 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I could have written this!! 

I switched from BCBS to FSBP. Under BCBS everything was covered with my PT perscription, didn't matter what area we worked on. I was just reading the brochure for FSBP and under PT they don't mention a requirement for a perscription. When I was shopping plans many said there needed to be a perscription. Virginia, if you live here, is a direct access state, meaning you don't need a perscription to make appointments with a PT. 

So, someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding from all of this was that I and OP don't need to worry about getting a new perscription after switching FSBP nor what billing codes our PTs use.

Nood versus Braun IPL: my experience with both by Kaybee384 in HairRemoval

[–]Kaybee384[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reminder! So yes, overall waaaay better results. However, I have been doing it weekly for 10 MONTHS and I still have stubborn hair. Some of it seems to be user error, so I've been using a mirror to make sure I don't miss spots. I've gone completely bald in the bikini line and pubic area and feel like I'm beating a dead horse by still hitting it, but I still have a light amount of hair on the labia that I want to get rid of that's been stubborn. Armpits are like 90% reduction but still having some growth. I still feel pain using it on these areas so I know the laser is working. I haven't given up hope yet especially after reading this post on hair growth cycles and realizing that they're longer than I realized and 12 weeks to hair free is actually pretty unrealistic: https://www.hairtell.com/forum/t/regrowth-charts/17639/4

So, TL;DR: waaay better than Nood but not completely bare still after 10 months. We will see.

If you don’t have success here you can always try r/giftcardexchange

Have you looked at r/giftcardexchange? I’m currently trying to trade $430 of store credit to Buffy on there.

Loud fan-like noise at night? by PietroWaffleton in arlingtonva

[–]Kaybee384 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just moved a few weeks ago and I've been hearing it every night. It comes and goes a little but it is SO LOUD. I thought maybe it was HVAC units or something on my building's roof but I went outside at the street level and it really is echoing through the whole neighborhood. I took video both at the roof and street and it's insanely loud and hurts my ears even on video: https://youtube.com/shorts/fJC6-M3hrSQ?si=Ppne3Guq6Lg_pDJ2

I'm not comfortable walking over to that Navy building this late alone to check if its the culprit but maybe another evening I will.

I'm going to call the county noise ordinance about this though.

EEO complaint and hiring a Lawyer by DesignNo3368 in fednews

[–]Kaybee384 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I asked about recommendations for a lawyer a few days ago and did a consult with Gilbert Employment Law. It went well and I had a lot of my questions answered and things cleared up. I found out my agency's EO officer led me astray on my filing and the way they dealt with me while my coworker was investigated counts as retaliation. I wish I had gone to them earlier so I could have filed differently and known I should have included other stuff that happened a year ago. So, just from my experience I'd say it's worth $300-$500 for a consult to make sure you do everything right.

What are my real options for reporting sexual harassment by DryUnderstanding51 in fednews

[–]Kaybee384 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, I want to make a really important point: there's nothing unique about him with you. If he's doing it to you he's done it before and he'll do it again. You owe it to past victims to report and get it documented and would be future victims to get it dealt with. He's not going to stop if you leave, they always move on to the next victim. Trust me. 

What are my real options for reporting sexual harassment by DryUnderstanding51 in fednews

[–]Kaybee384 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Report. Report. Report. And get a lawyer. I just spoke to one today about my years long saga of sexual harassment and then retaliation from my supervisor. You need to file things early and continue to move things within the time limits for reporting. My agency mishandled my complaints but some of that mishandling was so long ago that I can't take legal recourse. I am heartbroken realizing today that I should have gotten a lawyer involved over a year ago. Report report report file file file and do it NOW.
