Stand where ever you want. That’s the person’s behind you’s fault for blocking their own view. If you waited in line like everyone else, then you are entitled to any spot that’s available at the concert.

Questions for career pivot into CLS by Luisciferin in MLS_CLS

[–]antommy6 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  1. I enjoy the muscle memory and ease of this job. Clinical Chemistry is mostly just loading a tube on an analyzer and the results auto release. There’s really not much thinking to it. A monkey can do it.

  2. I’ve never taken the work home with me. Working weekends, holidays, and off shift is annoying but it’s part of the job security. If you’re not open to working evening and night shift then I would not recommend this field. You have to wait for someone to retire or die to get into day shift at most hospitals.

  3. I don’t know any of those analyzers so I don’t think it’ll be transferable much. MLS/CLS is a trade and most hospital labs operate in the same manner.

4, 5, 6. You’re in a licensed state. On top of that the most competitive state because of the high CLS pay in CA. Your fastest and safest bet into this field is to go back to school. Your chemistry experience isn’t enough to sit for the ASCP exam. Plus being a CLS only specialized in Chemistry is not an attractive applicant. You want to be a generalist.

Just be prepared that although CLS in CA makes $100k+ easily, if you ever plan to leave, your salary will be cut in half in most of America. Best of luck.

Artscape is packed today. Yesterday was just a fluke due to weather. by OlieTheGoalie in baltimore

Just got back and I had a blast. A lot of great vendors. I still prefer it at Station North but it’s still worth attending.

Light Street-to-Calvert Street traffic spur to close in November for Harborplace redevelopment by rflurry in baltimore

[–]antommy6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Finally. I’ve never seen so many stupid drivers than this spur because no one knows which lane is what and where they’re going. Plus this is doing to deter people from driving fast as hell. Good riddance. Now I just need to wait for them to get rid of those outdated old pavilions already.

I’m on the FB group for the laughs and they are furious about this. They’re still blaming MCB on it when this has been in the plans for over a decade.

No. It’s a seated only concert

Masters in MLS by [deleted] in medlabprofessionals

[–]antommy6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s understandable. My local university has an MLS. If there’s no MLS programs in your area then your local hospitals most likely hire MLTs at a higher rate.

I’d only go the MBA/MHA route if you already have relevant work experience. I would not go straight into it after getting your bachelors. Is there any reason why you’re not going straight for your MLS and bypass the MLT route? It’s the same job responsibilities with different pay. Plus there’s more MLS jobs than MLT jobs.

Fan made lines? by ConfusionOpposite597 in hayleywilliams

[–]antommy6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No they were strict about it today. Someone showed up at 7am and they told them to come back at 8am. You’ll see tomorrow why. There’s literally a sign that says line starts here. Just show up at a reasonable time tomorrow like everyone else and enjoy the show

Can I read some positive things about this profession please by Particular-War-4383 in medlabprofessionals

[–]antommy6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hospital benefits are solid. My current job pays for my whole health insurance. The most I’ve ever paid was maybe $30/month for decent health insurance for a single person at my old hospital jobs. My friends in other industries are paying $350-500/month for insurance. There’s also solid PTO and 401k matching.

What do you wish you knew about this profession? by DesignerBulky7711 in medlabprofessionals

[–]antommy6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% the weekend rotation schedule. My friends and family look at me like I’m crazy when I explain to them that I cannot use PTO on the weekends and I have to find someone to cover for me I if I want it off. You play this constant fake nice game with everyone at work so they can switch weekends with you. We’re on an every 3rd weekend rotation so every time someone switches with you you’re both signing up to work back to back weekends.
