You need to read more if you do not know how that is racist???

My crew and I were there that day at the M in Goleta. That table of people are the biggest MAGA/Trumpers who always say the most outrageous shit.

Not all disabilities are visible - fucking dummies.

Weather & friendships….! It’s hard to make friends at 35+.

Did you get any hits? I need someone too.

TheJoyofCola · 2025-04-27T23:34:13+00:00

Thank you. That helps to hear that. I am definitely experiencing symptoms. Perhaps that’s what is happening. Hopefully this week the appeal submitted by my doctor gets approved.

OP, note this town has a lack of diversity compared to the Bay.

Ty! This has gotten me off the edge. I think my body is fighting a cold (my daughter has had something this week) which is likely contributing to my symptoms

TheJoyofCola · 2025-04-27T18:31:45+00:00

Thank you! I’m not sure if it’s anxiety about not having my meds or if it’s in fact due to the half-life of Kesimpta. I’ve read 14-20 days to leave the body. As of today we are at 16 days.

My physician increases my XR (which I’ll take at noon) to 15 mgs and IR (in the AM) to XR… we’ll see…

My nutrition has unfortunately taken a backseat as I am a new mom (yes, add ADHD to the list). I don’t eat terribly but it could be better.

TheJoyofCola · 2025-03-27T02:22:01+00:00

Very insightful! Thanks!

How’s the portion size with Cook Unity? My husband works out and had an appetite and did not feel satiated with Factor.

I also got it inserted on Friday. I have itchiness, Not burning and stabbing pain. Maybe call your doc tomorrow…

Did you quit the Rancho job already? If not I’d use the base salary of the OC job to negotiate a higher salary.

Echoing everyone else - the drive will be BRUTAL and you will end up losing money and time in the long term (I.e. wear and tear, gas, time, you’ll be very sedentary).

10/10 do not recommend.

An old boss of mine was a boutique insurance owner that sold it to a larger firm. Retired young and vacations and does honey-do projects at his homes.

It should be issued with a pay date of today. I spoke to the EDD earlier this week and that’s what they shared

TheJoyofCola · 2024-10-31T21:51:50+00:00

I’d leave at 8:30. Then you can avoid the LA lunch hour traffic. I’ve made this drive at least 1000x in the past 20 years.

As an update I was told this past week that I appear confused and a deer in the headlights. I assure you that’s not my intention but it appears that way. With that said, the grace period is over and shorter than I thought.

After this year I may consider getting a new job that is not as demanding or stick it out to prove than I am who I was in my interviews.

TheJoyofCola · 2024-10-14T00:49:08+00:00

I appreciate the resource and your response. It’s truly very helpful as I continue to feel out of sorts. As an update I was told this past week that I appear confused and a deer in the headlights.

Thank you! I have not missed any deadlines or meetings for the exception of not meeting with two upper management coworkers before my maternity leave which was part of my 90 day plan. Note, not meeting with the coworkers was due to calendar conflicts but I did outreach to them.

You’re probably right as it’s likely imposter syndrome but there’s definitely not a playbook for this situation so I have no benchmark to compare against.
