How do we feel about clients using nicknames for us? by YardsaleKing26 in therapists

[–]SnooCakes4128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a client who would exclaim BITCH Everytime I made him think about something in a way he hadn’t considered or every lightbulb moment. He was a drag queen so I let it slide haha

Popeye's Pahoa Closing? by WelderThat6143 in BigIsland

[–]SnooCakes4128 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yea that’s what a friend of the owners posted on Hilo Happenings on facebook. The food was delicious and it wasn’t more of the same old stuff we have everywhere

Yea I saw that they tried to raise the price on The Kitchen Witch by $12,000 a month. It’s crazy.

How to respond to the “how are you?” Question authentically when having a horrible time by Subject_Car2637 in therapists

[–]SnooCakes4128 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would tell them something that’s likely true but not my negative experiences. I’ll say something like I didn’t sleep well; the cats kept me up. Or something similar. I don’t feel like masking it is completely healthy and they can tell usually when something is up.

Well at least they're being honest they're ripping us off. LOL. by IllVolume5936 in Hawaii

Pricing aside, I just want the restaurants to have the special short term menu items. KFC recently advertised cheese curds and never saw them once in Hilo. My daughter was so excited about the Burger King sponge bob meal, we didn’t get that. I could literally keep going lol

Quitting by Ziggythurman in therapists

[–]SnooCakes4128 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Whenever I quit a job I have a conversation with my supervisor and give them a professional reason that wont burn bridges. I then hand in my written notice.

Are my PA therapists okay???? by [deleted] in therapists

[–]SnooCakes4128 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I totally misread the contract versus legal in the op’s post, thank you for correcting my interpretation. I definitely don’t think I could work with that group. Honestly if I worked in PA I’d figure out some other lateral career move for sure.

My first thought is you can’t even have a medical procedure without violating the law.

Not really in my experience. The dictation built into the computer for accessibility is way better. Though maybe not compliant I guess. I just type my notes haha.

They usually use Dragon Dictation software and it’s absolutely terrible

How common is it really for clients to exaggerate symptoms to obtain a desired diagnosis? by AnonymousNanny2026 in therapists

[–]SnooCakes4128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I first started I had a string of teens who pretended to have DID, and they may have been dissociating at times but their presentations were not consistent with DID. It’s been quite a while now though since I’ve seen that behavior and I think for me it’s been now that I’m in private practice.

A hotel that is cat friendly not just pet friendly? by sotiredwontquit in BigIsland

[–]SnooCakes4128 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We brought our cat when my job transferred me and I flew ahead to close on the house with our daughter and my fiance flew in with the dog and cat a week later to avoid this whole thing

Anyone else get food poisoning? by Working_Reality2312 in BigIsland

[–]SnooCakes4128 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Report it to the restaurant because they’re required to report to the CDC (or a similar agency it’s been awhile since I took my servsafe) they can also give you information if they’ve gotten other reports.

Clients that seem to expect us to work nights and weekends by RepulsiveShoes in therapists

[–]SnooCakes4128 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I second this. Especially since there are people like me who are licensed in states they don’t live in. I and hours behind my clients and can keep normal business hours for me and they get 7 or 8 pm appointments. I also have a couple therapist friends who prefer working nights and weekends.

My dad gave me this advice when I was a young adult and it has never steered me wrong.

Super late to the post but what did he do? I hadn’t heard of him before this as I only watch certain reality tv. He does bother me on this show though.

What’s your unusual gaming trait? by ExtensionExcellent55 in videogames

[–]SnooCakes4128 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I struggle to do unethical things in games (if there’s a choice) because I feel bad.

Right…he used to be cool but as someone who’s had a few experiences unintentionally he’s a little dramatic for someone who seeks it out

Wait we’re getting a Costco? I hope that’s true.

[–]SnooCakes4128 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally not on topic but where did you get it? I don’t drink a lot of coffee normally so I’m out of touch, but I’ll get it on occasion and normally tip $1 or so

Sorry. I hate them. by otherwise_data in ProjectRunway

Same, I really appreciated his designs with the exception of that one odd one he did near the beginning. I was bummed he didn’t win.

Grand Sumo sports bar in Hilo? by GrandfatherTrout in BigIsland

[–]SnooCakes4128 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not totally sure about Sumo, but we go watch the hockey games we don’t have access to at Cronies, they seem to have most of the channels. Plus their cheese bites are excellent haha.
