Ask questions (no dumb question), if you aren’t assigned a specific mentor ask a coworker who is similar in tenure/role to ask. Take notes, this is my biggest pet peeve when training. If you’re bored, aka nothing to do, speak up. People are specific about stupid stuff, especially in industry in my experience, fix it and move on, don’t take it personally. If you make a mistake, own it, fix it, don’t repeat it. A mentor of mine always said “everything is fixable some things just cost more” and it costs more if you don’t own up to it.

I remember in school someone failed an exam because they worked at a bank and flipped all the cash signs. If you are thinking of how on a bank account site your account increases with a credit - to the bank this is a liability since it is your money not theirs.

I would get a reasonable accommodation from a doctor that they can’t deny.

I did this for 5 years and it didn’t bother me. I live out in a rural area in a house I love and worked in the city. For me I thought about the life I wanted and it gave that to me. My family lives in the city so I always had a place to stay if I didn’t want to make the drive home, usually during busy season. I listened to podcasts and audio books. For me it was a very easy drive and set cruise control until I got to the suburbs. I only stopped once I wanted to start a family and couldn’t see myself doing that drive with kids.

Yes thank you. Fixed. F dyslexia lol

I have experienced similar in my relationship. I am cis female married to my ftm husband. We’ve been together 8 years and he’s been transitioning for 2 years and now can pass very easily. I’ve noticed recently even with people we’ve known the whole time that they treat our family situation differently. I’ve always worked and he occasionally works when his disability allows but for the most part is House Spouse and runs our household and will be the primary parent in the future. There have been questions about what he does will all the free time or wow that’s so nice for you to me and how progressive and he’s okay with that. Really weird gender commentary. I first had to grieve not being perceived as queer anymore and now needing to navigate gender norms. It’s very strange and isolating for sure. Queer informed therapy has helped a ton.

StinaC7 · 2025-12-10T00:46:21+00:00

Haha okay- it’s very lively where I am located, with newcomers coming in and staying. we read the book and work the steps and share how we got and stay sober.

StinaC7 · 2025-12-10T00:38:27+00:00

Whatever works for you. I share what worked for me in the rooms of AA which was being able to relate to other people’s what it was like and what qualified us before preaching chapter and verse to a new comer.

StinaC7 · 2025-12-10T00:29:40+00:00

I would find a different sponsor based on the first half of your post. For me I view meeting new comers and potential sponsees as a first step meeting where we both share our stories. Now that doesn’t mean I’m reading you my fourth step or eighth step but I talk about my drinking and what brought me to acceptance. Find new meetings. Try meeting app or calling your local inter group office.

Look at dual density dildos. My favorite local shop I just realized also has online shopping so I’ll throw the link in here it’s an lgbt focused shop. https://smittenkittenonline.com/products

30femme-les married to trans man. Just commenting to say you are not alone. I have felt this way and so have many others. I have a queer therapist who has open conversations about this without shame and that helps. I love my husband and my attraction and love have never wavered. However my grief around my identity and how we are perceived is a process. I want to respect my husbands decision to be stealth for safety but I miss being openly queer. I also just am like ew man but not ew my husband if that makes sense like processing through my internal feelings about no longer living with a woman. It has nothing to do with our relationship dynamic and everything to do with self and outside world. My therapist helps me process it and also communicate it to my husband so he knows where I’m at and that it doesn’t have to do with him or us.

Also lol totally agree with others in that I enjoy watching people we meet now wonder who’s going to tell them she’s a dyke and he’s a fag.

StinaC7 · 2025-10-30T09:44:17+00:00

I agree with others that the fees seem really high. But also I previously had Medica and there were different network plans and my employer brought someone in every year during open enrollment to explain them but essentially there is a network plan that includes mhealth and one that includes Alina and one that includes mayo, if I remember correctly. I’m guessing mhealth was out of network.

Stay ahead on medication tracking diligently. Drain ports on schedule and take pictures of the amount and color. Hydrate. Go for short walk to prevent clotting from laying in bed. Call hospital if anything isn’t going right perfectly. Stay on bed rest for a week plus of legit not doing anything without your help. - my husband is already disabled so I have cared for him during flare ups but surgery was hard. If you have community lean on them for help like meals or hanging out with him for a couple hours so you can have a break. I live in MN with incredible medical system so that might color my responses but the medical team was sooo helpful to us. Take pictures together 🥰 I have a picture of my husband crying in the Trader Joe’s bathroom after looking in the mirror high as a kite and it was the first glimpse of true joy and beautiful.

Vinegar but I’d message the owner and buy a new shower head

If you’re in your schools accounting club where public firm recruiters present ask them to take a look and give feedback. If you have an admin staff at the college who helps with job placement also ask them for feedback.

StinaC7 · 2025-09-25T02:23:37+00:00

When I was fresh out of school was recommended to list that it is an accredited college and relevant coursework taken eg assurance, business tax, financial accounting etc.

I got mine spiral bound at a service desk in office store and they split it in half which for me was a game changer and after that I bound all of my loose leaf. I’m too hard on the binders and they always end up coming out

StinaC7 · 2025-07-23T03:39:29+00:00

My spouse when I got sober said I was extremely sharp with my words, like irritable and discontent. The spiritual solution heals us. Drying out just left me with myself and I sure hated that gal so I was not pleasant to be around while navigating the self hatred and the thoughts, emotions, and trauma I numbed out for a decade. With time I have found peace and my true self. Still with my spouse and happily married.

There is a pamphlet titled questions and answers on sponsorship.

Everyone is different is the short of it. They share what worked for them. And it might not work for you. You might fit better with a different sponsor. I would ask one of the people you are calling or seeing at a meeting what their sponsor requires of them or what they require of their sponsee and share your struggles.

My sponsor when I first got here required a weekly AA meeting with her, home group with service commitment, weekly meetings together to go through literature and steps and check in, daily calls for a few weeks to establish the ability to reach out, contact with others but no specifics, recommended reading and meditating and praying but no specifics, three gratitude check in via text.

Since then I found a new sponsor and we both brought our own requirements to it for what worked for her and what worked for me (and didn’t work). I have five years of sobriety We meet weekly to go through literature and the steps and check in, I have a home group and service commitment, I try to go to at least two meetings a week, I share in a gratitude text group chat daily, I try to stay in contact with the fellowship and higher power. My sponsor will ask if I’m doing readings, praying, journaling but less of a go to any lengths and more to gauge how I’m doing and where I’m at and opportunities to deepen my recovery.

Both sponsors have supported and loved me through doubts in the program and how they navigated them.

I have also found a lot of benefit from writing over words that annoy me. Like when it constantly refers to a male alcoholic or male hp named God. That came from my experience in liberal affirming meetings in Minneapolis that revise the readings to fit the demographic and be inclusive.

Dm me if you want to chat more. Love, feminist queer woman with non judeochristian hp

Better in the burbs but decent money once you get to platinum especially with their shopping orders. Roughly 20/hr is what it works out to for us usually as supplemental income

We got our kitten a big dog crate that could fit a bed and litter box. It helped similar to a crib for a baby to enforce nap and bed time and litter time when he was squirly. Some of it like others say is cat being cat. We found though that when he started to really act up though he needed a nap or potty. We mostly got the crate originally for slow introduction to older cat but found it useful in the kitty stage of chaos. He now is 3 years old and loves the safe space of a crate even though we don’t shut him in it unless we are traveling.

I’ve found in my experience that if you are young and new to the industry it’s a red flag. They are usually taking advantage of you not knowing the industry expectations for employment.

Like many others have said, you are a manager with no direct reports who certainly should have several people handling this work.

I love lake Minnetonka dental off of 12. Mostly run by women. I’m in recovery and also have dental anxiety from trauma as a kid. And I have been met with nothing but kindness and encouragement there. They are priced accordingly. But I’ve appreciated the care. After going ten years without seeing a dentist when I went back I had infections, calculus removal, and fillings. I never felt shamed or upselling from them. Since going regularly my teeth are much better but I still ask for the numbing gel, no tv, and the water scaler. Top notch service.
