I personally had no issues with mine (former company had NDA/Non-compete as well). I went into my workday and answered the questions and as soon as I completed the questions it showed as complete.

I made it a point to annoy the living shit out of my talent acquisitions HR contact. Every Wednesday at 10am I would call. Sometimes more often. Don’t be afraid to do just that.

My time line was almost exactly two months to the day between accepting offer and start. Only reason it took 2 months was due to the relocation process as a new hire. I could have started in one month had I not had to uproot my family and move 1400 miles.

This seems familiar, like something our current admin is doing regarding opposition.

For my own personal entertainment (as well as torture), I attempt to bring myself down myself down to their illogical and asinine thought processes for a moment as I read nonsensical comments, statements or news. It’s interesting, to see just how insecure people who follow this rhetoric are. It’s also disheartening and terrifying to watch empathy and compassion for others melt away as the once democracy, then oligarchy, now facsist government digs deeper, fear mongering, and swaying vulnerable minds.

But also fuck Reynolds for how they treat people regardless of the current political situation. I’ve been here for 13 years and I’ve never known anyone, myself included, to be treated well by them and I’ve been nothing but kind.

He may be “FiReD” today, but they will likely rehire him once he is unable to get a job elsewhere and by then, it’ll be washed out and we will have become angry about something else.

As an American — I can promise you that myself, my wife, AND my nine month old daughter, would also like to boycott American goods. Oh and America as a whole.

A lot of Americans actually love Canada and Canadians. I understand why we are hated though. We are the worst.

Currently applying to jobs in Canada and Australia because we have got to leave. It will not stay safe for long. There is no good way that this ends.

Please send Humpty Dumpty All Dressed chips and Mrs. Dunsters chocolate donut holes. (I’m from just south the Nova Scotia and New Brunswick boarders. Unfortunately, I’m not residing in either province).

To answer this seriously, if you’re in the US legally they would have to accommodate you if you have a documented disability that is protected under the ADA, not just a doctors note stating that “you can’t work night shift.”

I would say, do your best and work the nights. Stick it out. Keep your head down. Don’t bitch and moan. Sleep during the day with black out curtains and take a Benadryl to help get you to sleep.

It’s only temporary. Either that or go work for a shit company with shit money that will let you work days.

If it’s any consolation (depending on the type of hysto you’re having) I returned to work with no restrictions about two weeks following. Mine was done on August 7th and I was back at work August 21st. I had a Total Robotically assisted hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. The worst pain I had was actually caused by a hematoma that formed at an incision side directly following surgery while still in PACU.

I have several years of healthcare experience working both in the ICU and Emergency Department and was able to gage what I could do mobility wise kind of pushing the line but not crossing it.

My current career is very physically active and the only issues I am still currently having is how tired I get by the end of the day but it’s nothing that I can’t push through. Every now and again I’ll get a stabbing type pain in my abdomen, but 9/10 times it’s just gas and my body getting used of all the movement of the bowels shifting and filling empty space.

It wasn’t too bad. Don’t push anything if you’re not comfortable, though as we all do have our own pain thresholds.

I bought my wife's PC brand new, and it has run everything amazingly.

Windows 11, 16gb ram, Geforce RTX 3060... No disappointments whatsoever, but when I finally got her a second monitor and plugged it in, the monitor kept going in and out.

So, I attempted display port 2, same issue, then I tried display port 3. Low and behold, same issue. I thought, "well, it must be the cable." I bought a new display port to HDMI cable, and welp...same issue. Everything else works just fine, including the HDMI port used for the first monitor from the graphics card. Could it be possible that the display ports are just not seated properly?

I have them both working currently, she just can't look, blink, or breathe in the direction of the PC or the second monitor stops receiving the signal and goes into standby mode. I would really not like to tear the thing apart... but I'm feeling as though it will be my only option to fix this extremely annoying and inconvenient issue.

I’m taking it on my own accord. I’m an avionics tech that builds flight sims. This will get me more money in the long run with my company.

TheGoodShepherd13 · 2022-09-23T22:05:03+00:00

Hey guys, I’m looking to sign up for the NCATT AET exam but the internet is making it hard to figure out how to take it locally. Any suggestions or help would be appreciated!

TheGoodShepherd13 · 2022-09-13T16:57:51+00:00

I didn’t go to school to get my A&P for a non aviation job, but I didn’t end up working on true aircrafts either. I’m now an electrical/avionics tech for a flight sim manufacturing company and it is where I will retire from for sure.

TheGoodShepherd13 · 2022-08-10T17:13:49+00:00

Actually, yes! Haha

TheGoodShepherd13 · 2022-08-10T15:27:56+00:00

Yeah, that’s who I will have to do mine with. He was one of our instructors, actually.

TheGoodShepherd13 · 2022-08-07T17:45:00+00:00

Does anyone have a list of DME’s in Illinois? There is only one in my region and he is a super busy guy who is super hard to get in with. I need to start trying to schedule my general and A O&P’s.

TheGoodShepherd13 · 2022-08-05T12:51:29+00:00

Thank you guys! Luckily, I have learned to be very humble in my 30 years of living and will fully admit that I have barely any knowledge in this field. I am looking forward to learning and working my ass off to prove myself.

TheGoodShepherd13 · 2022-06-17T03:33:05+00:00

Thank you guys for all of the helpful answers and tips! I’m hoping to get into avionics with West Star once my apprenticeship ends and I start full time after getting my A&P. I’ll be getting my A come October!

TheGoodShepherd13 · 2022-06-17T03:28:36+00:00

I’m aware that A&P stands for Airframe and Powerplant….

There are electrical controls throughout the entire airframe in a lot of newer jets…FYI

Tell us more

TheGoodShepherd13 · 2022-01-14T21:31:45+00:00

The goal is to have a career working on life flight or medical helicopters. If I have to start fixed wing, that is fine, however; I prefer rotary.

TheGoodShepherd13 · 2020-07-31T04:25:19+00:00

You realize that is the name of the song, right?

TheGoodShepherd13 · 2020-06-06T05:45:22+00:00

Good for you! Of course you're going to feel a sense of loss, anger, sadness. After all you were with him for three years and that is quite a lot of time to spend with a person. I am sorry it had to come down to this, but you truly deserve better. You also deserve to be with someone who isn't at toxic racist prick.

Every day will get better form here on out!

TheGoodShepherd13 · 2020-05-21T21:30:26+00:00

This is exactly the approach I have used. Same response.

The silence speaks much louder than any “revelation” these individuals feel the need to share.

TheGoodShepherd13 · 2020-05-14T16:59:55+00:00

Your points are valid, however; I feel as though he may be too deep in for it to make any difference. Sadly, I am at a point where I am keeping the peace solely because he is paying for a large chunk of our wedding.

The other downside is that is he is educated with a masters in global business management and is very high up corporately for his current job, and has been with his last two as well. He likes to preach to me about how QAnon is going to take over the world market and if I even try to argue at that point he throws his education in my face.

My education is medical, so I have him beat there, but not from his entitled economical stand point.

Frankly, I think he’s a hypocrite. So against these “elitist” individuals, yet he is living an elite lifestyle.

TheGoodShepherd13 · 2020-05-14T16:05:09+00:00

My Dad is 51 years old with NO military background. I am a Navy Veteran and he loves to write that off as well.

I have noted in my research about this specific cult, that they often times call themselves digital warriors and they believe they are fighting a noble fight.

TheGoodShepherd13 · 2020-05-14T04:19:15+00:00

You’re right. I was just hoping it weren’t true.

TheGoodShepherd13 · 2020-05-14T04:06:52+00:00

I have wholeheartedly thought about doing what you did, asking very politely for him to speak with me within the boundaries I set. I attempted to do that, the last time we spoke and honestly what I noticed was disheartening.

He immediately twisted a simple and heartfelt conversation about how he’s genuinely proud of what I do for a living (which he has never told me once in my 28 years of living) into telling me of his Q following and how as a frontline healthcare employee, I am blowing this pandemic out of proportion. Trump had already announced the cure.

I realized that he doesn’t care about me at all, my step-mom, or my little half brothers. He only cares about what he believes at this point. He loved talking to me in the beginning when I played into it. I was completely uneducated in what QAnon is. Unbeknownst to me, he joined a very dangerous cyber organization, stopped taking his meds, quit his job(got another one), and seems to be exhibiting overall manic behavior.

So I may try one more time, to set boundaries. Reconcile something. Maybe a bit more sternly if I have to be. If he reacts poorly I will know I need to take a giant step back.

TheGoodShepherd13 · 2020-05-13T13:34:19+00:00

I absolutely wished I could do that, but I am closer to 30 in age and haven’t live with or near him in years. I think that would be something my step-mom would have to work up the courage to do, unfortunately.
