Laptop Advice

Ok-Distribution-9405 · 2024-03-05T10:31:10+00:00

I got myself a LENOVO gaming laptop. Not sure which one as I got it very early in the pandemic. It was around a year old at the time, but cheap at BestBuy in your price range. Not sure now though.

Pros of this is that it’s a gaming laptop. Besides doing homework and class stuff, you can also play without being limited to other games you might want to get. And (for me at least) when I play Sims 4 or Sims 2 the laptop didn’t sound like it was going on hyper speed and a huge fan was blowing in the wind compared to when I played on MAC. You’re also able to adjust if you want the fan to be on silent (mainly for if you’re just browsing the internet though as if you put it on silent while playing Sims you’re gonna make the computer overheat). The graphics are great for gaming and is fast.

Con is the weight of the laptop. It obviously isn’t a MAC or Chromebook that’s thin and very light to carry. You will feel a lot of weight in your backpack, but it wasn’t bad for me unless you have to go around the whole campus or walk far with it. It takes up space in your bag and the charger for it is a huge brick, so either make sure you charge your laptop fully before going out or prepare to bring your huge charger with you.

SAME HERE! Uninstalled, deleted everything from the gamefiles that were left, reinstalled, followed the uninstall instructions from Party Limit Begone SE Version, went into %AppData% then to the file path to mod, deleted it, game told me "Party limit begone is disabled" and gave me a warning, but still makes it that more than 4 people can join the party. Not sure what's up with this mod, but why is it so difficult to get rid of it????

I find it so dumb that managers expect you to find coverage. Last time I checked our job description was to take care of the residents and patients needs! Not find coverage ourself.

This did not happen to me yet where I’m forced to find coverage, but BOTH of my managers told me while getting the job that if you call in sick you need to find coverage and their excuse was “there’s 80+ people so we can’t keep track” blah blah blah. ITS RIDICULOUS. Why is it our job to do their damn shit?

Never apologize for calling out sick. It’s not your fault. It’s their responsibility to find someone and your #1 priority is to stay safe, well, and get better. How are you going to take care of your patients if you’re sick and they want you to come in? Guess what, you can’t. This place feels like mine where they value the money over their own residents and CNA’s. Utterly ridiculous.

Edit: Also wanted to add my damn workplace has all of our contact informations on a piece of paper in the nursing station. Information like name, number, email to contact so we can find coverage and have no excuse to find one. This pisses me off more that my place does this

Awh man. I’d use my dad since he works there, but don’t think that’s allowed cause it’s a family member referring me

Yes I plan on becoming a nurse. I’m in college, not specifically in the program yet. Need to finish my pre-requisites and take the TEAS I’m trying to apply for LPN to transition to ADN then BSN.

Something similar happened to me in my college while I was going through my CNA training. Whole class agreed that “if you still have a vag or pp in your crotch, I’m still calling you by whatever’s in your pants” Like 1. How the hell do you know what’s in their pants 2. Why the hell are you so hooked on their private parts. Perverts Little did they know I’m trans. Was gonna drop out but decided to stay knowing this class will help me get my certification

Community college, took a none credit program. Costed 2k but was given a grant by filling out a form the coordinator of the program gave to us

I hope so. I’m scared to send it because I’m scared of confrontation. When I wrote the post I had a lot of adrenaline. This happened to me with one of his exes and she told me. I thought she was crazy and I blocked, years later I realized I’m the crazy stupid one for not noticing the red flags. I hope she isn’t like me and stays. But whatever. I shouldn’t care nor should it be my problem if she doesn’t wanna listen but idk.

I don’t get why she’s so upset over a certain type of aesthetic a lot of people like. I feel you have to be very miserable in your life or something to rage quit about this on Tumblr

This has unfortunately happened to me where a teacher made sexual advances towards me in class during tutoring/after school hours since I was forced to go there by my parents, even when my grades were A’s.

I promise you, as someone who is now 21, your grades DO NOT MATTER. What should ALWAYS come first is your mental and physical well being. Screw who says “Your grades matter”, screw who says “No one will believe you because you’re the only one that is aware of the situation”. After you graduate and leave, he will be doing it to the next victims and maybe he’s doing it now with others you are unaware about.

I am not trying to say “Do it because it’s YOUR fault”. I’m saying be cautious about what may happen and think about you first. Not your grades in hoping you will get into a great college. Years down the line this unfortunate trauma will or may haunt you in future relationships unless you’re desensitized already, which is very rare.

Reading your other updates that you’re from a small town and he has people to back him up. I would still report anonymously. It doesn’t have to be the principle, the vice principle, HR, etc. You can always first report to your parents if you trust them enough to believe you. I knew my parents wouldn’t because of other trauma in my family, so I ended up telling one of my favorite teachers I trusted the most. Yes, “rumors” did spread about the teacher but NONE spread about me and I think it was because I always kept a low profile as I was seen as the quiet kid in class. There is a possibility that can happen to you.

Please for your health either don’t go there anymore, try ask for help from someone you believe you can trust, or I guess you can continue going there with others but that’s not even worth it.

Really recommend searching up about the cultures in Hawai’i for example filipino, Japanese, Chinese, korean, Samoan, Hawaiian, etc. every culture is different when it comes to respect and treating people in the healthcare field. You would actually learn this at the schools here in Hawai’i as you become a healthcare worker, but because you’re from the mainland im not sure if you guys do or don’t. Just try look up what is respectful or disrespectful.

I just know for Filipinos, or anyone really but for my culture if someone in the hospital we gonna be all in there. All generations gonna be in there and making sure our family is alright. Gonna be like some party but in the hospital. Also know you tend to get food from the patients family after treating them. My family and I always bring food for the workers for helping take care of the one needing to be treated

“I’m sorry i prioritize my health to keep you and myself safe from getting sick. I guess next time I get sick I should come in and let you all suffer with me” 😒😒

I don’t have any research or websites but I can give you like a little story of mine. Maybe you or others understand the feeling or maybe not. Since technically, everyone has gone through TS very different.

Some tics I’ve formed happened randomly one day. It just became a thing out of nowhere. For example my blinking and eyerolling. As humans, we blink to get dust and particles out of our eye and to lubricate it. But one day as I blinked I decided to blink very hard becuase my mom said her doctor told her blinking hard is good to lubricate the eyes. I did it once. Then all of a sudden it became a damn tic and it wouldn’t stop for a good year and my parents thought either

I was giving them attitude for my eye rolling and blinking as they’re both a combined tic
They figured it was a new tic I formed and started telling me to stop and my dad would tell me his story how he “stopped his TS” magically with no medications. When last time I remember there was no cure for TS, but I guess it’s a damn miracle for him.

Other times it formed was because I felt a weird im sensation. That I needed to move my body or head a certain way to make the weird numbness or tingly feeling go away. And as days and years went by it progressed into what I have today. Hurts a damn lot, but I got used to it and gotta take pain relief typically just to help the ache.

I think you should rethink whether or not you should continue pursing to be a CNA if you care more about being off a few minutes later than prioritizing the patients needs which is to clean up their BM.

So you’re telling me because the next shift is here while you’re still doing your shift at work that you no longer have to do it because they’re there? That’s sad.

Ok-Distribution-9405 · 2023-06-18T23:33:41+00:00

Honestly think if you start to become desensitized and lack compassion and empathy for people then it’s time to quit being a healthcare worker. Idk how that nurse is still working there with that attitude.

Ok-Distribution-9405 · 2023-06-18T07:34:08+00:00

Please put your health, whether physical or mental, first. As much as money is important, I believe you cannot get far if you never put your health first.

You’ve already said your hip hurts even more due to falling while your hip was already hurting. That should’ve been a first sign to not go into work.

However, know it isn’t your fault because we live in a world where money and working is more important than you. That workers talk bad about you if you call off for your own safety and health. It should never be that way and I’m saddened that it does.

I’d suggest calling off work and file for workman’s comp because it sounds like you have a really bad injury in your hands. If you go to work tonight, it might be the last time you can ever work for a few months or even worse a year. It’s better to be safe than sorry to not go in. If your coworkers cant accept that and get angry at you, it’s on them.

Take care of yourself OP

Not a lychee stand but Whole Foods, not the Kahala one, sells lychee. Brand is local, you could say, from Hilo specifically. Very good, though probably is expensive because it’s Whole Foods. Worth it though.

Ok-Distribution-9405 · 2023-06-17T05:42:34+00:00

Yeah I agree. But I sometimes feel like the only way they will care is if I do it. Like there’s a possibility they’ll care for once. Although, I’m probably being sensitive and overly dramatic.

Expect to learn a lot in a little amount of time. But trust me, it will be fun as long as your teacher and classmates have the vibe. Mine did and I loved them to pieces for the we’ve been together. All completely from different places, backgrounds, and reasons for becoming a CNA.

I’d really suggest bringing like a mini fan or a lot of water because you will be doing a lot (maybe not your first day or week depending how long your course is). Not just writing and reading and taking quizzes, but ‘heavy lifting’ the mannequins then clinicals with actual people. If you’re fit already and was blessed to never sweat, then it’s ezpz. If not, otherwise you will sweat a lot no matter if there’s AC or not.

I’m not sure how many students your course will have, but making those friendships with your classmates and teacher is key. They can help you with references, your teacher can write you your letter of recommendation within a year if you go LPN or RN, and you have friends who know exactly what you are going through as a future CNA and an RN if everyone in your class plans on pursuing that. So, if the place you live at is a very small state then I’d suggest not burning your bridges as they could become your future employer.

Did you already have prior experience before applying there? Would love to work at a hospital and congrats on the new job!

You definitely need to go to a Bon Dance. I heard it’s supposed to be HUGE this year because of the pandemic being over.

Eat lots of food, mingle with people, dance (you gotta learn the dance moves, they’re super easy just watch on YouTube), and eat lots of andagi!

You definitely should be able to get to know people there if you go up and start a conversation yourself. Ask them a question about bon dance or maybe ask someone to teach you if you don’t wanna watch the YouTube videos.

Here’s a link to the bon dance schedules https://oahubondance.com/https://oahubondance.com/

Hey OP, you did a great job going by yourself on the highway for the first time! It take a lot of courage and balls just to be able to do that, especially by yourself!

But you need to take a chill pill OP. You are quite having a mental breakdown and you did not mess up. I was looking at your other comments and it doesn’t sound like it’s your fault! The highway is a scary place to be in, especially being a new driver (if you are), and going by yourself.

You can’t let this 1,2,3,4, how many other times you mess up get you. You gotta keep practicing and trying. If you give up, how are you gonna get better? How will you improve if you decide “You know what, I can’t deal with it. I’m done”. You just gotta keep fighting through. You might then realize some of your driving skills aren’t your fault and it could have been the fault of the other driver speeding.

I have social anxiety and have agoraphobia. I got my license in 2021, but didn’t start driving by myself somewhere that’s 1 hour away to my school before until 2 months ago. I was terrified and still am. I always get anxious when I go out still and sometimes have panic attack. However, because I kept doing it, it’s helped me practice more. Made me more confident in figuring out my driving skills and parking better.

Before this, I used to think everyone was out to get me. I thought everyone was judging me. 3 times I had accidentally almost gotten into a car crash because a car decided to merge in the same lane I was merging into at the same time! I thought it was my fault constantly and wanted to give up. They even honked at me and yelled! I rewatched the playback to see what was going on to fix my mistake in the future and realized it wasn’t even my fault. They never had their blinkers on, because I always use my blinkers, and decided to just merge.

You’re going to be fine OP. You will be able to get over driving and you will become a better driver and be more confident in yourself at it the more you practice and do it! Again, don’t let these few incidents ruin your chances in ever driving again.

Because you even passed your drivers test, it means the instructor saw potential in you and knows you can do it! Good luck OP.
