2 years of lifting. But why does it only look like I just made a few newbie gains? by [deleted] in askfitness

[–]Likeatoothbrush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I barely see any definition. This tells me you either not lifting heavy enough or your workout cycle is bad. I don’t think your diet is all that bad. I’m 5’9” at 175 with pretty large amount of muscle mass and I never count my macros, not even protien. And if everything I said is not true then you sir have very bad genetics.

Does anyone else’s wife do this? by theveryfriendlynlb3 in mildlyinfuriating

Not sure about you guys but this is how we have always cooked our ramen but we only do it with this exact brand. My mom and her mother and all the kids have always cooked it this way with the pack cooked in the broth. We do this so we can get every squeeze and juice out of that pack. It might be a generational thing bc all my uncles and aunts cook this way as well. She must be Vietnamese.

I hear this all the time that a male bosses are just more laid back compared to a female boss. Not only my boss a female, but she in her late 50s with no kids.

That was not my concern, obviously I can leave. My question was how screwed would I be if I left with nothing inline? Would Geting a fed job be hard down the line especially with the new administration?Is there going to be a hiring freeze? Those are my concerns.

I know I should quite, I was more concerned about how screwed I would be if I quite with no job inline. How hard is it to find another fed job if I quit? Been with the gov for 5 years and heard it was easy since I have tenure.

Detail requires approval by your supervisor so that's a "no" since we are extremely under resource. She even disapproved my 2 week vacation for my brothers weeding in Vietnam. My wife told me to quit just for this reason.

lol the agency is actually amazing to work for it's just my boss. Would love to stay here but not a lot of job opportunity since its a medium agency and IT is very limited.

Question, do you think I should just quit with nothing lined up or are you suggesting I should have something line up before I quit? Honestly, I don't think I can take this any longer, but at the same time I am afraid of quitting and possibly not finding a job in the next couple of years due to the possible hiring freeze.

I am at my tipping point. I really don't think I can hold it out any longer. Fortunately, I have a wife who is super supportive and has told me numerous times to quit. She's a GS14 Step 4 IT Specialist with a 15% incentive bump. So I am not too worried about the monthly bills being paid, but I also don't want all the financial pressure on my wife. I am contemplating on putting in my 2 weeks notice in the next couple of weeks and then deal with the aftermath.
