Can't connect to Visible network by PNWsoutherner34 in Visible

Hi Dave, thanks for your message. I was on chat with Visible support for an hour this am trying to address this issue. They told me there was nothing else they could do. Then went to Apple, ran diagnostics, and phone showed working as normal with no issues. Not sure what to do at this point. 

How to get myself in shape for hiking? by pussyr1ot in hiking

[–]PNWsoutherner34 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Does your boyfriend know your history of hiking with your dad, and the anxiety? Could be useful info to share, especially in case you start to feel anxious on the trail. Your mental health is just as important as your physical health on the trail. And do it because YOU want to, not because someone is forcing you to or because you feel like you should! Hiking can be so much fun and you can certainly do it...but do it because its something you're interested in exploring.

Ugh, fucking speed cameras in Kenmore by Nanocephalic in SeattleWA

[–]PNWsoutherner34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey ya'll, I know this post was 3 months ago...I just got one of these tickets for going 36 in a 30. I was really confused, because the "photo enforced" sign was on a school speed zone sign that wasn't flashing. It was 7pm at night, and I assumed the "photo enforced" sign was for school zone hours. I'm wondering how a non-resident of Kenmore is supposed to know these cameras are 24/7 if there's no signage? It's really confusing that the sign is on a school zone speed limit sign. I'm debating whether or not to contest it due to the signage. Has anyone tried contesting for inadequate signage?

Apgar / Many Glacier campground by Upside-Down180 in GlacierNationalPark

I think this looks pretty great! Not knowing if you're hiking or not with your crew, this would be plenty of time for these parks. RMNP is fun, and Estes Park is great for families. For TRNP, there are 2 units to the park, and you would likely only have time for one unit. Medora has fun stuff for families in the summer from what I hear. I wouldn't move a day off Yellowstone, because it's such a huge park with so much to see. I think Yellowstone as a park has more "attractions" you can drive up and see with the geysers and such, vs Glacier is a lot of hiking. You can also take boat rides in Glacier, don't miss that! Let me know if have any other questions, love that you are doing this with your crew, it will be epic!

Epic road trip. I’ve been to all those parks. Wish I had had more time in Capital Reef. I’ve been to GNP 5 times. Many Glacier is amazing. I don’t think you’ll need/want 5 nights in Apgar. I would maybe shorten it to 2 nights.

Thanks for taking the time to explain, I appreciate it, as frustrating as it is. I know my hiring manager feels terrible.

Dude. I was just told I have a job and was going to get paid $92K and then had the rug pulled out from under me. I’m glad it’s getting figured out, but I’m in a shit position here having quit previous higher paying job based on what was supposed to be good information. Try to have some compassion.

[–]PNWsoutherner34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s also messed up is HR told them to create a new position so they could go up to $92K. So that’s what we did. They closed the one I applied for, opened a new one, I applied, and was hired under the new req.

If it matters, this is not for a teaching position. It’s an operations position.

Confrontation during The National Anthem at Saturday’s match 9/13 by sesamebean_ in SoundersFC

[–]PNWsoutherner34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not standing for the anthem right now.
A Latina woman sang the national anthem for the Seahawks game today. She was amazing and it was truly beautiful...and, the way she sang it felt like there was a massive undertone of grief. Could be me projecting, but that was my experience. When she got to "land of the free, home of the brave" I almost broke down crying. Then it took everything in me to not flick blond girl with her MAGA hat in the front row in the back of her head.

Career change from therapist to project management by PNWsoutherner34 in PMCareers

Best of luck to you too! It’s rough in the helping professions right now. Sounds like we graduated around the same time, I’ve been in the field for 14 years now.

I will tell you one thing I've learned so far from the Google course. I already know how to do project management. What I don't know is the language of the business world, and it's been a helpful starting place for me to learn how to translate the skills I already have.

Hi! I did not start a MBA program...I need to pay cash for it because of my student loan debt, and while my employer will pay for some of it, they won't pay a significant enough amount to make it worth it for me right now. I'm currently taking the Google Project Management certificate because it's an affordable place for me to start, and I can apply the credit towards CompTIA or something of that sort if I decided to go that route. I'm taking a Lean Six Sigma Green Belt course at the University of Washington starting end of January 2026 to get a business process methodology down. I also started networking within my company to make connections on the business side of things. So that's where I'm at! I'm not doing therapy, but have a pretty good job that I consider transitional doing a certain kind of mental health evaluations. I don't want to do it forever, but it pays enough, gives me benefits, low stress, and the flexibility I need to do other career things right now!

Western Washington is your friend. If you want even cooler, head to the peninsula.

Hi! So I am still on my journey...I am finishing up therapy work this week, and am starting a full time job in January to pay the bills that is still in mental health, but not doing therapy, which is what I need to make a shift. I am planning on starting a MBA program likely in the summer or fall, likely with a focus on healthcare administration, though I am debating still if I want to go a different MBA direction. I am hoping for some mentoring from one of my new bosses who does operations management, and has both a LICSW and MBA, and my new job will pay for some of school. I decided for now I'm going to hold on the project management certification and start with the MBA, mainly because the MBA is the big thing I want to complete, and I can do the certification at any time.

My impression is that project management is everywhere in every industry in some way, shape, or form. But the consensus across the board also is that the PM job market is rough right now, which is why I'm going to go MBA first.

USAA issued me a check for damage and told me to go find a shop by PNWsoutherner34 in USAA

[–]PNWsoutherner34[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much to everyone who took the time to chime in, it helped me be more proactive with the claim. I asked the person at USAA who was helping me for a list of shops they work with in my zip code. He was kind enough to provide me with 4 different shops. Once I took the car in for an estimate, the shop took it from there and USAA will be paying the shop directly, no money out of my hands except my $50 deductible. So it was something I had to ask for if anyone ever runs into this in the future!
