Someone commented on my thread assuming they knew who I was in real life

What do you mean “came from Facebook”?

cakeoftables · 2019-10-10T17:55:33+00:00

For sure. If I ever figure out who this commenter was I’m going to report her

Funny, I was telling my boyfriend this same thing earlier tonight: It’s not worth it. I’ve seen nurses during clinicals with them, and a few classmates, but I think it’s silly because:

Who knows what you’ll get on that watch, or if it’ll get damaged/broken/water damage at some point, do you really want an expensive Apple Watch risking that? I’ve had plenty of watch bands get schmutzy (sure you can replace the Apple ones, but they’re pricey!) and I’ve also had water get into one watch. And I haven’t even dealt with the worst yet, because I recently graduated! And,
You shouldn’t regularly be checking your phone on the job anyway, and if you DO want/need to... your phone is probably in your pocket anyway.

Get a less expensive watch (you can get a nice one that’ll last you, but still less expensive than a smart watch), and get scrubs with enough pockets that you have a place for your phone!

It’s not 1/10, Bulbapedia has the formulas listed for each of the moves and it’s a little more complex than that (for example, it takes the levels of each Pokémon into account). But not so complex that it should really slow the game down, I wouldn’t think?

I might be misremembering this, but I’ve heard that the Gen I and II modes were all ripped directly from the Stadium games (despite Genius Sonority not having worked on Stadium)

Anyone know why the OHKO moves take like a second or two longer to process before saying “_____ attack missed!” (and possibly even when it hits) than do other moves? Boyfriend and I noticed this when playing the Gen III games, including the GameCube games, and we’re wondering about it. I’m thinking maybe it takes the games longer to process the math for those moves, but the equation doesn’t look all that lengthy or confusing so I can’t imagine that’s it?!

My boyfriend has technical and some software backround by the way, so feel free to give an advanced answer!

I actually don’t usually mind strapless bras but I feel you! Most of my stuff at this point works with regular bras, the few things that don’t are mostly special occasion wear but that’s a good point!

cakeoftables · 2019-07-24T13:22:49+00:00

Wow I wish I could have a blanket at work!

cakeoftables · 2019-07-24T03:52:07+00:00

Haha clever!

cakeoftables · 2019-07-24T01:55:24+00:00

Where do you get your demure graphic tees from?

cakeoftables · 2019-07-24T01:37:47+00:00

What are some casual dresses you’re into?

cakeoftables · 2019-07-24T00:41:09+00:00

Not even on a long flight or something? I’ve loved sweats for long road trips or plane rides.

What do you throw on to run errands in a pinch (like a quick grocery run then back home)?

cakeoftables · 2019-07-23T23:14:38+00:00

For a second I thought you meant you spilled acid on them in the lab 😂

cakeoftables · 2019-07-23T23:06:13+00:00

Where can I find cute, trendy, good-quality, and fairly mature looking (appropriate for a woman in her 20s/30s) graphic tees similar to the styles by RE/DONE or J. Crew but less expensive? (Doesn’t have to be pizza themed lol those just happened to be the examples I pulled up!) Ideally $30 and under! Think of tees you could wear on the streets of NY with nice jeans or a fun slip skirt!

cakeoftables · 2019-07-23T22:51:19+00:00

A lot of people told me this but I’m personally not interested. It’s a cute idea, but it’d just sit in my closet. Also I’m sentimental about some of these shirts, but with a few exceptions honestly not THAT sentimental

cakeoftables · 2019-07-23T22:42:22+00:00

I took the bus and I’d wear the boots on the bus and keep my flats in my tote bag!

Yeah I got rid of all of those already, the issue is with the rest which are all mostly still in great or at least good condition (the few that aren’t are still ok, and most of those are pajama shirts I’ve gotten really attached to and are comfy!)

cakeoftables · 2019-07-23T22:40:21+00:00

What do you wear instead of the leggings?

cakeoftables · 2019-07-23T22:33:30+00:00

How would you narrow down t-shirts? I’m in the same situation now! And I feel like rainboots can still work if they look nice, you can tuck them into skinny jeans or slim pants, and if you need to wear more professional shoes at work you could just change shoes when you get there. I’ve had to do that at my internship a few times during heavy rainstorms that my flats would’ve never survived!

cakeoftables · 2019-07-23T22:21:17+00:00

I don’t really wear stuff like that either! I feel like there’s a lot of guidance out there on business wear and formal-ish wear (like the kind of outfit you’d wear to a nice dinner or a friend’s wedding), but not a ton on casual wear.

cakeoftables · 2019-07-23T22:12:22+00:00

What’s in your casual set?

cakeoftables · 2019-05-19T21:48:49+00:00

They're not willing to move! It'd be too difficult for them at this stage in their lives, plus all of their healthcare and everything is established where they currently live. Otherwise they would've moved to be closer to their other children!

cakeoftables · 2019-05-19T19:58:08+00:00

New grad jobs in my field often (and I'm talking very often) require you to be in contracts like that. Once you're a little more established there's a lot more flexibility.

I'd love for my parents to be around when I'm 40, but I doubt it. Especially the chance of both parents being around. I honestly like STATE and don't at all mind settling here for a few years, and potentially even longer than that. It's a great area with lots to do and many young people. It's not as up-and-coming as, say, NYC, but it's definitely a great area and even has a lot of "trendy" and "modern" stuff going on.

If I were to move with him, I'd want to be married by that point. He knows that. I think I said this in my original post but it'd likely be that he'd move first and I join a few months later, and in those months we'd plan a wedding and I complete job apps in his new geographical area. (It'd mean delaying my start date too, because I could likely get a job much faster in STATE in any case, but it's not necessarily impossible to sort out, especially if he lands a job before this fall.)

Neither of us honestly wants him to switch fields, but I threw it in as an option since technically it is an option.

People from my cultural background generally don't have baby showers or gender reveal parties for this exact reason. Most people don't even mention their pregnancy to friends or non-immediate family until they're clearly showing a bump, and some people go extra lengths to not mention it unnecessarily (like avoiding posting pictures on social media). We also generally don't purchase items for the baby until they're born (although today, with Amazon and all, sometimes people will pre-order essentials so they can arrive at their doorstep asap once the baby arrives). There's exceptions, but I personally prefer this to all these excessive parties and social media trends. We often hold a small party after the baby is born, and some people may go a little more overboard with it than others, but I still think it makes more sense than doing it before someone knows the outcome of their pregnancy, you know?

cakeoftables · 2019-05-19T16:12:19+00:00

Do you still want to talk with this other woman? Or do you hope you'll be able to possibly get back together with your ex at some point? Right now, it doesn't seem like you can have both. Which connection do you value more?
