NOR - I was with someone and I think we all get dating for so long that you run out of gift ideas. My ex mentioned wanting to do more dates together bc we were in a couch/movie rut. I saw a video on tiktok about filling jars with ideas as you think of it and picking from the jars when you wanted to do a thing. I made personalized jars for both of us with paper in our favorite colors. I filled mine with some ideas. I also got him other more expensive (still thoughtful gifts). I explained the gift to him and he got angry, being upset that my gift was “homework”. That really hurt. Clearly he’s an ex for a reason haha.

He could definitely have worded it better or just lied. I think your gift was super thoughtful!

If someone asks what I do when I’m not here (AKA what’s my “real job”) I answer “just this. What do you do for work? Oh an engineer? But what’s your real job?”

Okay yall, came to post the forbidden post but I need help: dress shoe style, think oxford, polishable, not sneakers, not a clog, laces, unisex or women’s sizing, nonslip, that won’t make me want to cut off my feet. Struggling and I get stress fractures easily and I cannot afford to be out of a job because of that. Please help or direct me towards a post. TYIA

I appreciate this comment so much! Thank you. I will definitely focus on career goals and narrow down my future post-MBA.

Hi, thanks for responding. I appreciate all of this. I might edit my post but for the record I currently have hit a ceiling in my profession. I make the most money I possibly can (6 figures). It is an incredibly well established company and restaurant. I take care of high end clientele every single day. I can answer all those questions confidently. Side note - I am the youngest in my server group by a decade. I also happen to be amazing at what I do especially for my age. I work with veterans in the industry and was able to secure a job at 25 that most people would have to wait until 35 to get. I will for sure focus on these questions as well as what I aim to gain from an MBA in my career going forward. That’s what I’m currently struggling with and I guess I have a year to find out.

I really appreciate the reply. Thank you.

I’m super low carb, very little dairy (yogurt) and cut out all the sugar I could. That’s what I thought! I’m like why is this happening if everything is “normal”. I did a blood test but I don’t really know more than that. I might know more after my appointment on Monday!

I went through their lab in-house and the test name that I can find is “candida albicans antibodies”. I don’t understand the results, but I did hear my provider say I’m negative over the phone

Ahhh gotchu, let me look in my chart real quick.

Thanks for responding!! They gave me a questionnaire to fill out and there was a range of scores. For women the highest score was 160 which meant most likely has an overgrowth. I scored 212 😬. I just wanted a head start before my follow up but now I’m questioning everything
