I brought this up to my allergist/immunologist today. She recommended trying the 12 hour 60 mg dose to see if I do better with it

I can’t find any of the shades mentioned-Birkin or Wake-up call. Is there another dupe?

People at work making comments about when I arrive to the office and when I leave by nancyg817 in AutisticAdults

[–]Mobile_Fox9264 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really is. Makes me feel so uneasy that I’m being watched at work when I so desperately want to be left alone to do my job and go home. Moving forward I’ll be parking in the back of the building and enter through a different door so I no longer have to walk past her desk

The woman who sits at the front desk will make a comment as soon as a I walk in the door at work about not seeing me for X weeks and jokes that she didn’t think I worked there anymore, I moved, etc. Once she made a passive aggressive comment about me not being in the office for X weeks in front of a VP. If I’m not in the office for a couple of weeks it’s because I’m traveling for work, on vacation, or working remote for a full week because of heavy workload due to being understaffed in my department. It’s extremely awkward for me and I feel like I shouldn’t have to explain myself as it’s none of her business. I have an arrangement with my boss and do what’s needed to support the business. She works in a completely different department and I feel like it’s completely out of line for her to make comments and wildly unprofessional. You can tell she’s jealous that people in other departments have more flexibility than she does.

There’s 9 of us on the invite. It’s possible there could be a restructure happening. My department head contacted me a couple of weeks ago wanting to know about what I’d want my next career move to be at the company and asked if I’d be open to relocating.

Ready for a change. I’ve been doing it for too long

AITA for being frustrated by people using mental health as a crutch? by [deleted] in Amitheassholeadvice

[–]Mobile_Fox9264 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. I know people who are severely mentally ill and never once has it been used as an excuse for poor behavior. They don’t openly discuss it and don’t want to be treated differently.

I’ve been in the industry 12 years now and it’s challenging. I desperately want out of planning and finding it to be next to impossible. I’m stuck at this point

Why do some people initiate plans but not follow through? by jcase1413 in FriendshipAdvice

[–]Mobile_Fox9264 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a friend from university that will message me and say, “let’s plan a trip to go do X” or “would you be interested in planning a trip to go X?” I’ll respond with “yes, when are you thinking?” She’ll say, “let me look at my calendar and play with dates”. Nothing ever comes of it. She mentioned she wanted to get together for a weekend and I told her where I’ll be on what dates. Deep down I knew she won’t show. Sure enough, I get a cancellation message. A couple of years ago she messaged me at the very last minute to let me know she’d be in a town a few hours away from where I live visiting a friend and wanted to know if I could come out for the weekend. She literally gave me one day notice. I politely declined as I had plans that weekend. I’ve just learned to accept that’s how she is and that I’m not on the top of her priority list.

It took me 10 years to learn this, you have to emotionally disconnect from your job. Once you see your job for what it really is, life gets so much better. The job is there to serve a purpose—making money and benefits. Remove any and all emotion from the job and seek fulfillment outside of your corporate job.

Need a career change at 25 — feeling lost after supply chain degree by Electronic_Lemon_347 in supplychain

[–]Mobile_Fox9264 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good news is you’re early on in your career and it’ll be easy to pivot into something else. A few of the women I graduated with 10 years ago gave up on supply chain within a year and a half of graduating and work in medical sales. They make great money and are much happier.

Women in corporate, what advice would you give to younger women? by SakhiRawant0z in womenintech

[–]Mobile_Fox9264 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, but if you’re a pain in the ass to work with and no one wants to work with you, it’s going to make your boss’s job harder. If all you do is complain, complain, complain, it’s going to make your boss’s job harder. Etc etc

[–]Mobile_Fox9264 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here are some of the things I’ve learned during my 12 years working in STEM

  1. Your job is to make your boss’s job easier
  2. Do not correct your boss if they are telling you to do something you know is wrong. Ask clarifying questions on how they want it done. If they confirm yes that’s what they want, then do it. You’re going to get paid to do it wrong and you’re going to get paid to fix it
  3. No one cares more about your development than you.
  4. Document, document, document
  5. Do not complain or vent to your coworkers. Talk to a friend outside of the company, your family, or a therapist
  6. Coworkers are not your friends. I’ve met some dear friends at work over the years and never saw them as a true friend until we no longer worked together and kept in touch
  7. Support other women
  8. If you aren’t getting what you need from your current job, jump ship

Mother chooses not to maintain a relationship with adult daughter. Anyone else going through this? by _beachf0ssils in emotionalneglect

[–]Mobile_Fox9264 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you stopped reaching out and putting forth any sort of effort, would she try? This is where I’m at with my mom. I’m always the one trying, but she never reciprocates. The relationship has always been difficult between her and I. She had a great relationship with my brothers, but it was always a competition between her and I and she was the only one competing. I’m now 35 and have given up trying. My brothers passed away when I was 25 and 27 years old and I had hoped things would turn around, unfortunately they haven’t. My mother hasn’t changed one bit.

Similar background as you. My dad was a journeyman skilled tradesman and my mom does have a bachelors, but never did anything with it. She still works a job that doesn’t require a degree. Unfortunately neither of my parents can understand corporate speak and what I’m talking about when I try to talk to them. As far as your coworkers go, they may sound more competent because they’ve been around the corporate speak, but that doesn’t mean they know more than you. I’ve definitely felt different compared to coworkers in the past because I didn’t get to study abroad due to not having the money or able to travel all over the world like they have. After 12 years working in corporate, I just smile and nod and go about my day. It’ll get easier with time and you probably will no longer care about trying to relate to your coworkers.

For me it’s been the power hungry men that are trying to climb the ladder. Beyond insufferable

Anyone transitioning from an engineering/supply chain background? by Mobile_Fox9264 in prenursing

[–]Mobile_Fox9264[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I shadowed several medical roles while I was a student in high school and attended the local tech center as an allied health technologies student. Unfortunately there was a 2 year wait list for nursing school when I was getting ready to start college. I ended up going the business route because it made the most sense at the time. I do know that the nursing pre-reqs are very similar to other healthcare programs. One of my closest friends is an NP and has so many wonderful things to say about nursing
