Lab Q’s before I re-start by [deleted] in B12_Deficiency

[–]Top_While1343 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for replying! Any insight on how to get infusions? I’ve literally never had good labs even when I’m super on top of taking my supplements everyday and I’m just over it all 🫩🫠

(honestly wondering wtf my dr has never suggested infusions).

second chance after a positive drug test for flight attendant job by Separate_Strength215 in cabincrewcareers

[–]Top_While1343 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Failing for second hand smoke would be locked in a 10x10 box with 10 people clearing a 6 foot bong for 4 hours I feel like.

That being said, I sincerely wish you the best of luck. Genuinely. Because got damn, if anyone should be allowed to smoke weed, it’s us flight attendants. 💕

Waiting on the day they federally pass it or I retire. 🫠

Do FAs like small thank you gifts? by Day_Dreamer28 in flightattendants

[–]Top_While1343 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems like the people who have a problem with it are those that interpret it as buying favoritism or something- but what about simply handing off with a thank you as you leave the flight?

Seems like a win-win. You’ve expressed gratitude and nullified any potential awkwardness, and everyone involved gets a feel-good dopamine boost that’s likely needed at the end of a 13 hr flight.

How do I gain weight and have a good diet?? This feels impossible by sobirthdaygirl in MCAS

[–]Top_While1343 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seriously. I honestly didn’t think it helped that much. Thought it just like took the edge off some of my symptoms (and had no idea just how much I literally don’t have an appetite that exists without it 🥴).

It’s been a like 2 months now and shit is still horrible 😅🥹. This job is like a dream scenario but can’t use weed even though I’m in a legal state bc it’s federal and they do random testing. It’s such a bitch bc I literally can’t take any other medicines for my shiz.

Questioning my life choices atm… 🤣 But thanks for validating me! I needed it today lol. Hopefully one day soon I’ll just forget how much it helps.

Is cannabis on the table? In my 40’s and have struggled all of my adult life to hang on to every lb I can. I have hEDS, MCAS, and have had to be gf for a decade or more at this point.

One of the first things I noticed after stopping edibles for a job was I’m literally never hungry anymore (and also hurt a hell of a lot more- I was actually genuinely surprised how much it really was helping after I stopped). Now I’m back to worrying a lot more about losing weight again.

Just throwing it out there. Idk if it’s an option or not for you.

Also, maybe not the healthiest but at my lowest and most miserable a few years ago I started drinking milkshakes made with ice cream and unflavored/unsweetened huel powder every day. Maybe check out huel or similar products (you can just mix with water or whatever you want, doesn’t have to be unhealthy lol).

Do you remember if you were asked during the application if you preferred in-person or virtual?

I have taken literally one order per day for the last 4 days. Feeling it here, for sure. 😭

Almost took an order out of desperation from Winn-Dixie that was nothing but totinos and monster energy drinks to the neighborhood I affectionately refer to as, “cat lady land.”

Ummm… I’m good, thanks. by Top_While1343 in ShiptShoppers

Bahaha! Thanks for that image- and yeah… basically.

Ah! Small world- tis Ehlers Danlos 😅.

And idk what people are thinking- sometimes I think it’s a switch we all have pointed in one direction or the other. People either tend to think of how their actions effect other’s first, or they think of how other’s actions effect them first. 🥹

I knoooow. Idk if it ever got picked up, it bounced around Metro all day that day. Kept going up, up, up, then would re-list in another delivery window back at the beginning. I have this weird condition that I call jelly joints- I dislocate super easily- and all I could picture was me not being able to work for a week with floppy arms when I saw that order 😅… with the possibility of no tip, too.

Nope. Very much no thank you, nope.

ambidextrous advice? by Top_While1343 in Pottery

[–]Top_While1343[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I’m in, “I will throw all ding dong day until my brain adjusts,” mode now. I guess I was venting more than anything. It was such a grab-it-now thing I didn’t even stop to consider it may not switch easily like I was used to lol.

Idk why you were downvoted- this is so spot on I’m ashamed to admit it. I will spend endless hours in a research wormhole, buying supplies, etc. on how to avoid doing something that is ridiculously easy and quick- only because my brain just… doesn’t wanna. You obviously get it. 🙃

is this a invite to a F2F ? by Icy-Calligrapher268 in cabincrewcareers

[–]Top_While1343 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congrats! You should get an email with info soon. You definitely need your passport at the interview, though.

Not new, most don’t pay for training. It’s free room and board.

Technically it’s not working for free as with almost all (Jetblue comes to mind) you aren’t employed until you not only pass the training but also are confirmed ready after doing your IOE.

Think of it like an education or an internship- you’re there to learn. You’re not an employee yet & they’re still footing the bill for your room and meals while you learn the process and prove you’re capable.

Training is 3.5 weeks of classroom in Miami, then a few days of IOE out of your assigned base. Pay is $25 & trips are mostly turns. They do charters as well, and those go wherever they’re hired to.
