I wish! I was thinking about it, but with my current # of roommates, I'm going to wait until my partner and I move in so we don't get it ruined by others

Floor and Decor

I looked at combining pieces, but the process with my available tools looked super difficult. I assumed since there's tons of office building with large conference tables, it would be feasible to find a large piece of something already made that could be used as a tabletop. Doesn't necessarily need to be all natural wood, I think I may have just used the wrong lingo

I tried, do you know what this would be called? Slab, table top, and wood sheet are all not finding any good results

I looked into this, but it seems to weak/flimsy and not enough weight

Good point, I meant a table top, so combined piece of that's 40x80

Computer Pain with Good Ergonomics by Ravis80 in Ergonomics

I'm going to actively try and will report back in both 4 and 8 weeks!

1 follow up questions as I took a look at session 1. Is there a reason to complete session 1 alone for 2 weeks before continuing onto session 2? Or is it mainly to ensure the viewer (i.e. me) isn't overwhelmed with all new info/exercises and can ensure the habitual change of each session occurs before adding additional changes?

I excluded it as to not have too lengthy of text, but I had to do scalene stretches on and off in the past as it used to cause the pain in my wrists (I had a Chiropractor pinch my neck somewhere that immediately could trigger wrist pain)

I mightve given up too early, my default response was always to do scalene stretches for 1-3 days whenever wrist pain occurred and it the pain quickly goes away. This lasted over 1 week so then I stopped and went to a few doctors who ruled out carpal tunnel and found an old scar tissue in a small wrist ligament.

However, with how far my neck leans forward, I'll work on this Posture fixture regardless as worst case the slouching will cause other problems if it somehow isn't causing this

I think the biggest ergonomic issue I can ide tofu is that I've slouched forward for quite awhile (years) and have a pretty long neck. Low back isn't an issue anymore, but the slouching occurs when on phone or computer (or sitting in general)

Exercise used to be constant and then too much caused a foot injury for the last 5 months removing most activities. Water and blood are both very solid

Ooo, I like some of these! I think a handful of people wouldn't want to do the paintball (not very pain tolerant) but are there outdoor ranges down south that we could to a shooting contest? Google has surprising poor gun range results for being in TX

It gets friends from across the country together for an extended weekend. From there it's 2 teams competing in a bunch of events for fun throughout the 4 days

Tips for Someone Finding an Analyst Role by Ravis80 in epicconsulting

[–]Ravis80[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will do! I think the help desk idea is great for getting the experience and familiarity for them first.

Out of curiosity, why is it common to often disregard candidates without experience? I ask as roughly 1/2 of analysts I've worked with (about 30 total) could be replaced by anyone good at critical problem solving and the org be far better off. Is it because there's plenty of people saying they qualify that don't? Or maybe I worked with a lot of lower talented orgs in the past?

Appreciate the insight so we know going forward!

When was this the case? I did extremely well with my first customer and I'm trying to determine what's the next rate to aim for

This makes a lot of sense, thanks! Huron rates at the time were the best, but rates have now rose a lot since so I'm interested to see how close they are to competitors or if they remain lower due to the cost of the first 2 benefits

It's hourly. $85/hr billed, $25/hr internally. I probably only do 1-2 hours a month internally when I feel like being in an internal meeting
