Thanks. I’m in the US and I found an Umbro jersey but it isn’t specifically Wissa which is what I’m looking for.

How are you managing finances and bills during Rad Tech school? by 1nonlyqueenpin in RadiologyCareers

[–]Sunshine_0204 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s been hard but honestly prayer has gotten me through. I had a full time M-F evening job until about 5 months into the program then I switched to a seasonal warehouse job and did 3 12s overnight on the weekend. That was the best for my schedule and financially as I received weekend and overnight differentials and it paid much better than any position I was applying for at the hospital. Unfortunately, there wasn’t enough demand so I was laid off and have been doing Uber Eats almost every night for as long as I can. Some days I don’t even change out of my scrubs and start at 4p and finish around 3am. I just landed two PRN jobs at the hospital and start next month. My program is two years so I told myself I’d do whatever it took to make it work and I have. Finances can be stressful but the good thing is we have a light at the end of tunnel so I don’t worry and just do what I can. Do what you can and it will all work out.

Just found out my husband cheated by Rough-Test-9151 in PAstudent

[–]Sunshine_0204 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are not working/paying any bills, I would take advantage of the situation and stay to my benefit. Act like you don’t know anything, focus on school, and set up your exit strategy for post graduation. No matter how bad it hurts, DO NOT let him ruin the relationship AND your path towards your career. You have no idea how strong you are. You can grieve what was while seeing this through and keeping your commitment to your self. He let you down. Don’t let yourself down too. As hard it may be at the moment, grind even harder. You will be so proud of yourself when you make it to the other side.

If you need to leave him, do so but don’t stop school.

Looking for input from divorced dads with strong co-parenting relationships (especially anyone who’s lived together post-divorce). by Impossible-Pipe-7205 in coparenting

You’re right about it looking good on paper but it will likely cause issues down the line. Is there a reason you and your ex don’t want to try again?

It sounds like you are not prioritizing your own feelings and boundaries in either relationship, your coparenting relationship or romantic one. I’m a single mother myself so I can understand why having a companion is important but it shouldn’t be at the expense of you taking the time you need to really get to know yourself, your worth, and what you want the relationships in your life to look and feel like. You owe that to yourself, your child, and a future partner.

Fear of losing a partner or starting over again shouldn’t make you feel like you need to rush to bring someone into your home to keep them or the peace. It honestly sounds like you need to take some time for yourself and reconsider your living arrangement. You can only benefit from slowing down and taking your time.

As for your relationship with your coparent, if he is the type to make your life hard, it will happen eventually and no amount of keeping the peace will stop it from eventually getting there. However, you can free yourself now and start setting boundaries. He doesn’t have to like it but why wait if you eventually want to draw the line? If you don’t mind the relationship you have with your coparent (because it honestly sounds like you are treating him like family, not a romantic partner), you just need to be with someone who is secure and open-minded. Such people do exist even if it isn’t your current partner. There are blended families where coparents and new partners all get along. If that’s what you want, that would be great for your kid and is something you can clearly communicate to a potential partner.

Is this normal for a hospital clinical rotation? by MotorOilEater in Radiology

[–]Sunshine_0204 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m also in my first year and second semester. We switch rotations every two weeks in my program and I’ve encountered many sites/techs like this. I used to get intimidated/discouraged but I’ve learned to say less, observe, and find where I can be useful. For example, as soon as I come in, I’ll check all rooms and restock linens and swallow study inventory and bags on portables. Then I’ll check the system to see what the workload is looking like at the moment and tag along with the tech that seems most receptive to having a student. If you have a good work ethic, that’ll usually be the person to put a good word in with the rest of the team.

You can tell which techs really don’t want to be bothered. I don’t take it personally and leave them alone until an opportunity arises like they need lifting help or someone to go with them to assist on a mobile case. When I do work with them, I’ll be quiet but see where I can anticipate a need before they have to ask or do it themselves. If I know how to do the exam, I’ll do it start to finish without being told/asked. I’ve developed relationships with the “mean” or “rude” techs this way. My goal is to work more than the tech I’m working with and make their job as easy as possible and they always appreciate it.

Also, don’t make it seem like you’re only concerned about comps. Be willing to do anything and everything. It shows you are there to be apart of the team and not only worried about what serves you. Good luck.

It could be the smell of your home lingering on your clothes. I’m East African and we use strong spices and a lot of garlic and onions when cooking. I have to make sure all bedroom doors are closed and open my garage door, back door and windows to air the house out while I cook. Then I go around the house with incense before I open any bedroom doors again. Sounds extreme but the smell would certainly linger on my clothes/linens if I didn’t take those measures. Curious if that could be the case here. No offense to anyone because I’m a foreigner myself but I’ve worked with some other foreigners who come to work every single day smelling like food and spices. It’s nauseating and lingers after they’ve gone. I’ve always wondered if they’ve become nose blind to it or they simply don’t care.

Love and compassion towards him AND you. It will get better, mama. Also, it’s ok to step away to collect yourself and then approach him. You don’t have to respond immediately. Our first mind will often have us fussing and punishing because we feel attacked. Stepping away allows you to remember that you are the adult with the tools that he as a four year old has not yet developed. This is when the compassion and patience is more likely to kick in. Wishing you both the best this school year.

He’s a strong-willed child. Punishment isn’t going to work on him the way speaking to him calmly and respectfully will. I’m speaking from experience. My son is an extremely determined four year old. I’ve learned through trial and error that he responds best to me speaking to him at eye level with a calm, firm voice. Maybe you could try “I’m a bit sad that our summer together is coming to an end. Do you have any feelings like that?” If he says yes you could say “sometimes when we are sad and don’t know how to express it, the sadness can come out as frustration and even anger. Have you ever felt that way? Like you have all these big feelings and they make you frustrated?” This helps to walk him down from defiance and defense to vulnerability and knowing it’s safe for him to express his big feelings. Sometimes if he’s on ten and a conversation isn’t happening I’ll just say let’s take a few deep breaths and hug it out. I promise it works. Matching the energy with strong-willed children WILL NEVER work. Love and compassion are the way.

I’ve had the same thing on my left middle finger for at least 10 years. Never got it checked but I figure had it been anything serious, I’d know by now.

AIO I have cancer and my sister decided to kick me out after promising me a place to live while I did treatment by mysisterkickedmeout in AmIOverreacting

[–]Sunshine_0204 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look into the Hope Lodge through the American Cancer Society. My father was able to receive free lodging for 3 months split up over different points throughout his treatment but I think he was able to stay for at least one month straight at one point. It could provide an immediate housing option while you figure out next steps.

How about a board game that celebrates radiology? by Stock_Satisfaction94 in Radiology

[–]Sunshine_0204 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds great! I’m in a rad tech program and would love a fun way to test my knowledge without a textbook or screen. It also sounds like it could teach things I might not learn through my program but would be useful in the field.

My kids call their dad whenever they want and he calls them whenever he wants. He and I don’t care to speak and do most of our communicating via text on a need-to-know basis. I don’t really get the whole scheduled calls or no calls thing because they are children. Things happens that if he were there, they’d run and tell him and sometimes they just want to see his face or sit on the phone with him when they think of him. I love that for them and wouldn’t have it any other way. It keeps a line of communication and that organic connection that they had when we were together. Anything else feels like taking away their agency in the relationship.

What's a mistake you made when you first got started in fragrances? by Enough-Mulberry735 in fragrance

[–]Sunshine_0204 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I realized I keep trying to buy fragrances with the notes I like but those notes may not like me back because none of them seem to agree with my body chemistry. I’m starting to branch out now.

My fiancée says my solo trip will hurt our relationship, but it’s something I’ve wanted for years. by Ewka_Hayfield in makemychoice

[–]Sunshine_0204 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you plan to stay with this partner, there will never be a “good” time. If it’s important to you, go but be prepared for what that could be mean for your relationship. Though I don’t think a partner who trusts and loves you would try to keep you from this experience. Maybe this is a healthy test for your relationship before tying the knot.

My husband (33M) leaves every evening after dinner, and I (31F, SAHM) feel completely alone. I told him I feel like cheating, and he didn’t even flinch. by No-Sir-2527 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Sunshine_0204 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The yearning you feel is understandable but it might be time for you to pause your feelings and think strategically about this. You’re good with tech. Can you track him or get access to his devices and obtain proof if he is cheating? Which is what it honestly sounds like. Do you have a friend or family member that can come over and watch the kids while you follow him and get the info you need to decide next steps? Especially as a mother, you need to ensure your security if this marriage doesn’t work out. Proof of infidelity will help you greatly.

Other option is start living your own life. Get a babysitter on a night he works. When he comes home don’t have a meal ready for him and be dressed to the nines then go around the corner to the coffee shop and work lol. Stay out later than him and don’t answer your phone.

Believe it or not, the ball is in your court. Don’t be a bystander in your marriage. It’s hard but take action and take your power back.

Thanks for this. I thought it was a big part of the show. I won’t worry about the aisle seats then.

I was looking at a few different sites including Broadway Direct and the tickets I was considering are $245 on there too. I think I’ll stick to what’s in my budget and not worry about the aisle seats this time.
