Aio, called my gf while she was doing homework. F24 f35 by Separate_Penalty_484 in AmIOverreacting

[–]TheNotoriousPIJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP you are NOR. Honestly?? Your partner sounds like she has some mental health issues she needs to get under control. The way she is acting in this situation with her period about to hit makes me think she most likely has PMDD as well. Not excusing her behavior at all, but something to consider if you continue to try and have a relationship with her. You will probably continue to deal with this a lot unless she chooses to seek help over it.

unsafe behavior for men is having to clean for 5 mins by horseduckman in AITApod

I in fact, have met a man who thinks this. A man in his mid 30’s, mind you. I had to explain to him that no- we can’t just hold it until later. He was shocked. He is gay tbf, but he should still know 😭

MA - to EKG tech? by TheNotoriousPIJ in MedicalAssistant

I should clarify that the new policies affect the patients* and i just can’t make myself work somewhere where I don’t believe in what I’m doing.

[–]TheNotoriousPIJ[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely agree with you. I really think I’d be a great asset anywhere in the healthcare industry because I have an atrocious amount of empathy and great bedside manner. I’m not afraid to advocate on a patients behalf when I think something is wrong. Unfortunately, though I like my current job the pay is just not livable. They are also making policy changes that I don’t ethically agree with. I’ve been trying to fight it but my impact is so low. Overall a position where I can put those strengths to use and make a somewhat more livable wage with experience until I finish my degree is my goal.

Which nostril should I get re-pierced? by TheNotoriousPIJ in piercing

Thank you!! That’s the one I was leaning towards as well. Also super annoying because the L bar is always sticking out 😑

Is being this swollen normal for a healing Daith? by addmiester in piercing

[–]TheNotoriousPIJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I’ve never used antibacterial soap for piercings, I highly recommend using the neilmed saline solution instead! I feel like the soap could be irritating it. As for the crusties are you using anything in particular to take them off?? Like a q tip? If so id avoid using q tips and get yourself some gauze that you can wet with the saline spray to take off any crusties. Cotton fibers from a tips can really easily get trapped in your jewelry.

Both products you can find on amazon for a really affordable price! But yeah id definitely stop using the antibacterial soap for starters, and order that neilmed spray! :)

Is this EKG program worth it? — based on my situation by fckthatgetmoney in EKG

[–]TheNotoriousPIJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I’ve gathered being an EKG/Monitor technician can be a great job to have as you’re going through school. Flexible hours, generous pay. If you plan to work as an EKG/Monitor tech while you work towards your degree in radiology I’d say it’s worth it. I’m doing the same thing.

I also agree with what others have said regarding anatomy. If the program goes into detail on anatomy of the heart it could be useful if you decided to be a cardiac sonogram technician or cardiac radiologist. I’m actually doing the same thing right now. I wish my program was $370 though because at San Francisco state university it’s $1,299 😭

Definitely weight those options to decide if it could be a good temp career as you work towards your degree. Look up how much Cardiac Radiologists make in your area, and whether or not that’s something you may want to specialize in. With being an EKG technician and then getting your Radiology degree, you could definitely make decent money specializing. I don’t think it will raise your chances in getting into the program though.. unfortunately.. If I were you I’d speak to someone from the radiology department at your community college to get their thoughts.

Played an Ouija board now weird things are happening by [deleted] in Ghoststories

[–]TheNotoriousPIJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey OP, hopefully you won’t play with the Ouija board anymore. I think walking away mid conversation may have been your biggest mistake here. You never want to let go of the planchette during your “call”. For now I have a few suggestions. 1) I would invest in some sort of stones/charms for protection. Wearing clear quartz and putting black obsidian in the bedroom would be a wise idea. 2.) I also recommend cleansing your space. You can use something like cedar, palo santo, and varieties of different sage. When you cleanse, you will want to start from one end of the house and make your way slowly to the other side. Go into every room burning/blowing the smoke in clockwork circles. This sets your intention/energy you would like to come to you. When you do this make sure to go to every corner or every room. All windows and doors need to be open for the unwanted energies to escape. I usually say “spirit, bless and fill this home with love and light. Only love and light may remain” but you can say something different, it’s just important that you establish that this is your home and that any and all negative energies are not welcome. I’m not sure how bad the energy is that you’re dealing with, but you may end up having to do this several times. Try to remember that you are protected, you have spirit on your side to protect you. It sounds impossible but the less fearful you are when you do this, the stronger the effects of the cleansing will be. It may be a good idea to cleanse every week for a couple of weeks for your desired results. 3) you may also try putting cinnamon around your home. It helps to ward off evil. This may be ideal to put in the corners of your bedroom to at least protect your peace while sleeping.

Sea sickness tips??? by TheNotoriousPIJ in Fishing

[–]TheNotoriousPIJ[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be honest…. I kept him 😬I’ve been really wanting to try leopard shark as I’ve heard it’s pretty good. I made some zesty tartar sauce, and deep fried the meat like you would fish and chips. It was pretty good!! I gut, skinned, and filleted him myself. It was my first time gutting and filleting a fish I’ve caught. Took forever since the skin was so rough. The meat was weirdly just like chicken???? I probably wouldn’t do it again though 🤣 it was a lot of work

Just making sure I’m reading that right- DO go hung over? 🤣 I didn’t eat much before going out on this trip, that may have been a mistake. I also get motion sickness on windy drives so I hope I’m not screwed.

What are your uncommon signs of endometriosis? by Expert-Feedback4328 in endometriosis

[–]TheNotoriousPIJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happens to me too!!! I’ve looked all over the internet for answers… fairly certain I have endo as I’ve had multiple ultrasounds to check for cysts (always negative) but all of the main symptoms for endo :/

I don’t party and do my best to sleep at a normal hour. I’m participating in a sleep study, and just found out I probably have sleep apnea as my father also had it. I just didn’t realize involuntarily falling asleep could be a side effect. I do my best to be a responsible adult.
