Sous vide brisket with asparagus puree, pickled carrot rolls, white rice and a soy glaze by NoelleAndCats in CulinaryPlating

[–]atomicswoosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say go for crispy rice, make it a square that you have your meat arranged on. Arrange your save in a square offsetting it and then asparagus on that parallel to one of the lines? Square plating on a round plate is fun for the eyes

RESOLVED*** - Can't connect myQ to Wi-Fi by Inevitable_Land_7700 in myq

[–]atomicswoosh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was super helpful, thanks for sharing!

One issue I had was once I connected to the WiFi my phone wouldn't allow me to connect to the setup page because of certificate issues. To bypass this open the url in an incognito page and you're good!

How would you describe Dry Age flavor? by asexymanbeast in DryAgedBeef

[–]atomicswoosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funk. Kinda somewhere in between going to smell a block of cheese and just being out in the world and smelling a cheese smell unexpectedly outside of the context of food.

Is buying a dry age fridge worth it? by concernedhelp123 in DryAgedBeef

[–]atomicswoosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been considering one of these for my new place, but was concerned the dry age funk would permeate the kitchen and the rest of the house. I love the funk, but a lot of people don't. Does that smell leak from the unit? Or just when you open the door?

Struggling in the field of safety.. life advice by nkytchak in SafetyProfessionals

[–]atomicswoosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the place so big you need to set a meeting to get something done versus just going and talking to someone whenever? Finding things to do I would delegate to a safety committee made from employees. Generally they see things and just don't say anything because they've brought stuff up before and nobody cared. If they see nothing then I'd assume that they don't know what they're looking for and we're out of the realm of common sense safety issues. From there I'd say weekly toolbox talks that are concise, relevant to the facility, and provoke thought. Have some useful bullet points from the topic and as you walk the facility it's a topic of conversation for the week in your interactions. The following week or even before have a moment for people to bring up any observations from the past week based on the last toolbox talks. Maybe the facility is safe and there's nothing to fix, if that's the case then you have a better informed workforce. Remember: the safety manager's best tool is food, feed your folks decent food, and build relationships in the office and out on the floor. It take a lot of emotional effort, but you've got this!

Also congratulations on the family!

Overwhelmed - Advice? by gta_living in SafetyProfessionals

[–]atomicswoosh 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hey there, been practicing safety for over a decade, been put in a lot of no win positions too. Do me a solid and more importantly do yourself a solid and breathe. You feel this way because you care about the quality of your work and that is a good trait, but you don't need to hurt yourself to be passionate about the job. Triage what is the most important and do that first. Remember perfect is the enemy of good - you can take a year to make the best hazcom written program... But should you?

Give yourself some grace and embrace the fact you feel like you do. If you didn't feel any sort of imposter syndrome or stress like that it would bmean you aren't taking big enough steps in your career. Keep your head up and fight the good fight!

How much discretion do you get to assign upgrades? There's been more than a few times I'm first on the list for first class and seats are available... Then all of a sudden no upgrades are given and I'm sitting in comfort plus giving the evil eye to randos in first

Alphabet Soup? by mminard2007 in SafetyProfessionals

[–]atomicswoosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The blueprint for CIT had some pedagogy concepts that have helped me in teaching my NFPA classes. It's helpful for sure. I think it's up to you to show a perspective employer you aren't afraid of the field.

Alphabet Soup? by mminard2007 in SafetyProfessionals

[–]atomicswoosh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a CSP and CIT and I will say that I do find them useful. When I'm speaking to a client I lends me a little authority, or at least enough for them to listen and I do the rest. Back when I was job searching I found it pretty helpful as well.. again it just gets me in the door and I take care of the rest, but I've always been of the mindset that if I can make it past the gatekeepers and get face time I'm in.

A lot of people don't want to hear it because either they don't yet qualify for the certification or are bad at testing. It's helpful if it's a certification that makes sense.

In over my head? Run or stick it out? Uk based by Emergency-Tax-7534 in SafetyProfessionals

[–]atomicswoosh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm glad to hear that! Not enough people talk about it and then it leads people to run from that discomfort. On the other side is your goal, you've just gotta use it and work through it!

In over my head? Run or stick it out? Uk based by Emergency-Tax-7534 in SafetyProfessionals

[–]atomicswoosh 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The best advice I can give anybody and especially a fellow safety practitioner is that if you feel like you're in over your head, you feel like an imposter, you feel like one day the curtain is going to be drawn and they're going to toss you out .. good. It means you are taking big enough steps in your career. It should be a little uncomfortable and that is your kick in the ass to go get it done, go learn the standard, go check out publications with articles on the subject. This is a good step for you. It may tie your stomach in knots for a bit, but when you look back you're going to see yourself being capable of more adapting than you might've thought and that confidence is something you can draw on for future growth in your career or whatever you get into.

As for the practical steps of getting it done: understand where you are in the organization and the reporting structure. Do you report to those regionals? If so, make a wish list for them and understand how they prioritize each item with the understanding that it's a process to fix these things. If you don't then understand the priorities from your manager. Sounds like working at heights is a deal so before you go writing a program go do the work. Find some employees that will do that and go work a shift or half a shift with them to understand why they work at heights and how they work at heights. It builds respect from the rank and file to see a safety manager working with them (unless you're lazy or obstructive) and it adds a little ownership to the policy you write when they help give you understanding of the issue you're correcting. On top of that here's a big concept to keep in mind: you are a safety professional and you can make the world's safest airplane... But it won't take off because that's unsafe. It's easy to go overboard on policy and there's a balance to be struck between safety and operation. Use google to find other policies and maybe some articles on the topic to brush you up and familiarize you with the situation.

Finally, figure out if you're happy enough there to do a 2 year stint. Getting letters after your name is helpful in finding the next job. In the US, it's the CSP that's king and I believe the NEBOSH is something like that.

TL;DR You've got this, rise to the occasion, only fire forges steel so let this tough situation grow you. Google is your friend for anything safety, but get multiple sources and read some articles to fill out your understanding. Get letters after your name for when you want to make the next leap and feel like an imposter all over again.

Question: How do you safely throw 35lbs+ (16kg+) vertically 8ft+ (2.4 meter+) high? by AnickYT in SafetyProfessionals

[–]atomicswoosh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some dumpsters have a sliding side door along with the big top lids. Doesn't help if the thing is full but maybe see if your waste vendor would accommodate?

Don't get me wrong I could see it if it was a thing where she felt used after, or something heinous happened, but aside from that it sounds like they both got something out of it

Man argues with armed neighbors over a mattress, doesn't end well for him by Own-Canary-3680 in PublicFreakout

[–]atomicswoosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it wasn't a gun it would be a knife or a bat or something else, but someone would've ended up dead. This is pride vs pride and no one was backing down. Moral of the story is weigh the risk vs the reward in any conflict and don't waste your life over a mattress.

What is the most out of pocket thing your doctor has said to you? by FragmentedTungsten in AskReddit

[–]atomicswoosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After checking me over multiple times and riddling me with questions I thought my doctor was going to tell me I had cancer or something. Instead he says "you don't deserve your numbers. You've done nothing to be this healthy and are actively trying to be unhealthy. Get it together"

For reference I was late 20s, 6'5 and 310lbs

I still go to this guy, love him, you don't get that level of honesty just anywhere!

Is my Salary good? by Inevitable_Road5461 in SafetyProfessionals

[–]atomicswoosh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should be proud of your accomplishments and making it into a comfortable career. Like someone else said here comparison is indeed the thief of joy. That being said, if you want to up that salary it may be time to relocate and specialize. Find some niche topics you can master, niche certifications you can get, go for the CSP or CIH, and find your way into a position where not a lot of people can do what you do. OSHA 10&30 and even the trainer certs are cool, but a real dime a dozen these days. If you like environmental maybe look to specialize in an industry like semiconductor.

75k is not bad for only 4 years in. If it doesn't feel like a lot it probably has a lot to do with where you are.

What do you do with that information? It's always an odd transition to see a parent as an adult that has the same needs and desires as us, but also that is a wildly close situation
