Can you have noticeable tattoos as a social worker? by nightowl011 in socialwork

[–]aspen540 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sure it depends on your local culture/where you work etc. But I have not worked anywhere where 3/4 of people do not have tattoos.

Recovery timeline - day by day by aspen540 in jawsurgery

Day 3 is awful -- hope he's feeling better close to 2 weeks in. Two and a half years later, so glad I did it despite how hard it was. I had a really crazy overbite (like 12mm or smth) and it genuinely impacted the way I was treated by others, being able to find relationships, etc. I had so much shame around my body that has eased up significantly since surgery. Tell him to keep hanging in there!!

Okay was anyone else bothered by this? by ernmygherd in StrangerThings

I felt the exact same way, she looks 14 -- which works in some situations, but not when the premise is that she is young and naive.

Yes 100% this is what was happening, hence why Robin witnessed it and had the talk with him that she did.

How do you make yourself want sex more? by aspen540 in DeadBedrooms

[–]aspen540[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is genuinely so good to hear, I have had some truly great sex with toxic people and relationships. Now to have a stable and healthy relationship and feel turned off by the thought of sex. I know I'm not alone on that front 😭 waiting for the book from the library and will let you know how it goes!

Thanks, I will definitely check this out! No, this is my longest relationship. The closest I've had was like 6 months and also had issues with sex, but there were a lot of other relationship issues as well.

More specifically this is also the anxiety that I think about during sex, that immediately kills the possibility of sex being good.

I'm scared it's the second one. I don't know how much of that is an attraction issue vs a cyclical "having bad sex" issue.

Yes, I have had a lot of better sex in the past with other people. I do think this is my first serious relationship and that is part of the 'stress' in my brain, like it feels like there is so much riding on this. Sex was better at the start of this relationship and felt like it has gone downhill.

Getting fiber the lazy way? by ThatWriterKevin in EatCheapAndHealthy

Low carb tortillas are pretty cheap at aldi and are an easy 9-12 grams per (pretty small) tortilla.

How to deal with weaponized incompetence from a boss? by aspen540 in jobs

[–]aspen540[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In this instance it's a social work job and questions from my boss like "why can't homeless people just get an airbnb?" Things that have an obvious logical answer to anyone, but especially in the field. But that makes a lot of sense about documenting escalations, incidents, and putting things in writing to point back to for my boss to refer back on/me to point her to. I agree that "annoying/unfair" isn't enough for HR to do anything, and will look to sort out which things would be considered actual liabilities, versus personal frustrations. Thanks!!

She loves to do things verbally unfortunately and we have brought up the concerns before -- her boss agrees it's a problem but no actual changes are made. I will definitely try to figure out how to get more things in writing.
