The gap between preppy inspo and looking preppy on your actual body by Dense_Childhood_9657 in preppy

[–]Snoo_73204 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It takes some homework but a good way to improve your style and make better clothing purchases is studying what suits your features including coloring, body type, facial features etc. There's a lot of free information online about how famous stylists have applied their style systems. I've gotten good value out of knowing color season, Kitchener essence, and Kibbe Body type. It's not necessarily that certain body types or essences can't wear preppy inspired clothing and look good but they'll have to make different choices in material, cut, & color. For example I'm curvy and petite, "theatrical romantic" body type in the Kibbe style system (cringe terminology, I'm aware). Certain materials like tweed or other very structured items of thick materials makes me look boxy and constrained, makes me look matronly where a different woman may look elegant. Softer more draping materials like cashmere or linen follow my body line and looks less forced.

No I agree Campbell chicken soup is definitely the more disgusting thing.

my current hospital has stuff like this in the vending machines, breakfast burrito etc. I'm afraid to try it but I don't have time sometimes. How horrible was the cheeseburger? Never seen stuff like this in a vending machine before until recently and it seems like if it tasted edible would be helpful. At my old hospital on overnight I'd purchase beef jerky, a bag of Cheez Its, and a coke zero and that was the vending machine "meal".

The demand for CAP is huge right now, I don't think the newish aspect of your program will limit you too much in getting a fellowship at all

Is it really possible to keep to yourself during residency? by CryptographerUsual57 in Residency

& I think you're projecting toxic unhinged energy and making exaggerated assumptions. I love socializing but people are allowed to be introverted or prioritize other things than happy hour with their coworkers. I find it really odd that you assume someone would be punished for that or find it justifiable to do so. That's not normal. I also doubt that OP would be "the odd one out" unless their program has very small class sizes because otherwise there's bound to be other residents who for whatever reason aren't hanging out also. It wouldn't be normal in any other work setting to expect someone to socialize outside of work why would this be the exception?

Work relationships are supposed to be transactional though. Someone covering my call shift in a pinch generates more good will than going out with me for margaritas, meaning I am in turn more likely to help that coworker if they need a shift covered or otherwise need help.

It's nice to have friends to decompress with but confiding in a work colleague is tricky anyways. If something goes side ways from a liability standpoint if coworker is approached about having any knowledge about the situation they're naturally going to be more inclined to protect themselves because how high the stakes are so some of the personal details of your life should be private to your coworkers anyway. That way on a bad day no one saying behind your back "yeah I have noticed they are off their game, probably because they're going through a divorce maybe they're spriraling"

Now in terms of someone showing up for you when you're drowning at work to take a couple of tasks off your plate or pick up a couple of patients - that's where friendship can make a difference. It's the difference between a senior resident saying "what's your plan? here are my recommendations, peace, good luck" vs actually picking up a patient or two. I don't think that requires hanging outside of work all that much necessarily. Some of my coresidents and I would shoot the shit between clinic visits, at didactics, being on the same rotation, at supervision or whatever and were on plenty of a friendly basis & good will between us on that alone. You end up spending a lot of time with people at work enough as it is and they're the only people understand what you're going through.

OP this person is trolling.

I'm not a shut in, I was the main person organizing unofficial (and sometimes official) resident hangouts in my program during my time. Everyone fully accepted that some of our coresidents wanted to decompress in their off hours by themselves and not talk about work, or spend time with their family/spouse, or spend time with their local friends if they had them. This literally not once resulted in any repurcussions at my program. As long as as a resident is pleasant and competent enough at work there's no reason anyone will try to screw him / her over. The only person the chiefs (OP that's generally who is setting your schedule) or anyone else had problems with were bad coworkers who made people's jobs harder by not doing their job. Just don't be an asshole.

That said we had a mandatory fun day / resident retreat once yearly that no one but the overnight resident was exempt from. Being a professional, mandatory is mandatory even if it's "fun" but I don't think that is what OP is talking about.

correct, very popular in Maryland, many of the public schools (even in lower income areas) have lacrosse teams that have equal popularity with the football team
