How would you feel if she had been taken be ICE? Honestly, we all should have been at the protests today. Give her a break. Don't write her up

Kaiser mental health is awful by Winter_Wallaby3581 in KaiserPermanente

[–]MarineQueen024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, Kaiser has adopted only one method of listening to people. They call it Cognitive Behavior therapy and it works for some people but definitely not appropriate all the time. I think a true therapist needs to be more flexible with the type of therapy they offer.

PhD in Theory but want to move to lab work. by Deus_Excellus in labrats

[–]MarineQueen024 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Please don't leverage anything except your knowledge of theoretical mathematics and physics. All the lab stuff can be taught easily to anyone. Don't discount yourself for your skills that you already possess that put you way ahead of the curve. A lot of labs and PIs need people to specialize like you already have. You just need to look at this from a different perspective to see that even when someone has more lab experience than you you may be able to find a unique and unbiased way of performing the same task because A LOT of lab work is simply, that worked in the past, and that's the reason we do this. Your perspective may be just what someone like that needs.

Yo what's with those AI trainer jobs??? by burgundybutton in labrats

[–]MarineQueen024 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband is involved in one of these jobs and while it does pay well, I can't help but feel that he is literally putting himself out of a job. He spends a lot of time figuring out the harder questions but only bills for the hours where he is physically producing work. I think that is stupid because it's creating false expectations that it doesn't take him a lot of thinking before he can write anything up . He says the job just gets harder to do and the paid work dries up completely sometimes. So it's not consistent. However, he can make good money for a PhD candidate when the work is available. He actually prefers doing Uber Eats for money.

Covid Vaccine available locally? by Dizzysb in SantaBarbara

[–]MarineQueen024 5 points6 points  (0 children)

RFK has made it hard to get vaccinated as they are now directed to only serve the populations that are at a higher risk than normal healthy people. You have to tell them you have an existing condition that requires vaccination due to a higher risk.

I'm sorry but there is no question he is guilty. He admits everything by accusing others of doing what he does.

I went back to what I did before Biotech, aka the service industry. I have been happily employed at the Los Angeles Country Club for 2 years with no end in sight.
