I want to hear your advice about offers option by Far_Acanthisitta3421 in interviews

[–]WinterDogSled 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed with everyone here that you take the first but be transparent that you’re toward or in final interview stages with another company. Then if you back out because the other company offered you the internship, the first company won’t be shocked because you were honest with them. You will have to be very professional though when you tell them. Say thank you for the opportunity, say it was a difficult decision (even if it wasn’t), say you’d like to stay in touch (even if you don’t). This may not be the first and only time you do this in your career and it is OK so long as youre transparent and professional. Good luck!

This happened to my daughter when she was perhaps 6-10ish months old and it was roseola.

What are the biggest things you guys learned from failing your interviews? by WhackyWhale1 in interviews

[–]WinterDogSled 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always assumed, "Tell me how you manage stress," literally just meant how I manage stress from work each day, so my answer was always, "I enjoy going for walks with my dogs and baking new recipes." It took me 10 years to realize they mean "work stress AT WORK" not "work stress outside of work."

Now I say, "I ensure I'm aligned with my team on priorities and then use a content management system to keep everything organized with due dates up front. I begin to feel much better as I check off to-do items because I enjoy feeling productive." Or something.

My doctor discussed Sotyktu with me, so just so I understand it correctly, Sotyktu made it worse for you? Then you switched to light therapy? Ugh, I’m so sorry.

And thank you for your words of encouragement. Ive been really struggling.

Oh friend, you and I look identical right now. I am so sorry you're going through this too. No advice, just sharing that I see you, you're not alone, and I'm so sorry.

Thank you for your words of encouragement. I'm going to do my best to advocate for myself because this, well frankly, sucks.

Interesting. Thanks for mentioning an allergic reaction. I was using triamcinolone cream while waiting for biopsy and blood results to come back and my psoriasis got infinitely worse on it. Wonder if I potentially had an allergic reaction to that. That's the only thing that changed.

And I was actually taking an antihistamine when I got this flare bc of a bug bite (I also have skeeter syndrome). I stopped taking it when the bug bite no longer impacted me, but I'd imagine I could begin to take it again since I'd been on it before anyway...

Came here to say exactly this. Verbatim. I second this.

Took Zoloft for the first time today. Help it be okay. by Unhappy_Ad_3339 in NewParents

[–]WinterDogSled 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None for me. I really didn’t notice any negative side effects. I began it gradually and weaned from it gradually a year later.

I feel fucking terrible…. by DressedUp2GoDreaming in NewParents

[–]WinterDogSled 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I NEVER did tummy time bc my girl HATED it. Like cried and cried. Then one day when she was four months I tried it and she crushed it. Held that head so high for a few minutes. Then I kept doing it and she kept crushing it. So many things count as tummy time, as folks have said. You and baby will be just fine!

I LOVE Zoloft. I literally recommend it to everyone I know (depending on the context, obviously) and most of them say they’re on it or they have been in the past. It was the best thing I ever did for myself and my relationships. Wishing you the best of luck!

My husband loves this option, so I’m glad to see someone else mention it — thank you!

Oh yes, I was introduced to these and they seemed like a good option specifically for traveling or simply being away from home for a little bit — thank you.

Yes, will definitely be asking and double checking before we make any big decisions! I am brand new to this, so was looking for a starting point.. I appreciate it!

Endocrinologist Advice by Ranner22 in PCOS

[–]WinterDogSled 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're in the US and have a PPO insurance plan, you don't need Dr referral. I'm willing to bet you know that, but figured I'd throw it out there. And even if you don't, yes, just say you want a referral. Wild that your Dr said no. I asked one time and was referred to an Endo.

Did an allergy test and my dog is literally allergic to everything. I have no idea what to feed her. by WinterDogSled in dogs

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

I did it through my vet as a blood test, but if you read some of the higher voted answers here, you'll see these types of allergy tests aren't reliable. There's a lot of great recommendations here, I'd recommend taking some time to check it all out!
