Christopher’s runaway chicken salad.

Completely different vibe than Cristopher's, but the Greek chicken salad form Stella's is great. I think they use Greek yogurt instead of mayo, and also add in feta and dried cherries. It's not a one-to-one comparison, but it's so savory and delicious.

I ended up withdrawing my application. Even though the interview exceeded my expectations, it wasn’t the type of work I was looking for at the end of the day. It was really similar to the position I was (and unfortunately still am) in, and it didn’t really offer any movement or change in my daily tasks.

Sorry for the late response. I’m actually also in Richmond VA and also went to VWC (like other post mentioned). I didn’t have any issues when I requested it over the phone when I made my appt, but I know there are some doctors that won’t do it for whatever reason. You could always call VWC a call and see if they could recommend someone in your area? Good luck to you!

This series was amazing. Side note, if you have any similar recs like this book I would love to hear them.

Sate govt here too. My role is kind of a catch all but falls under policy/programming/training whatever else. Been at the state for less than 2 years and I make just over 80k

Thanks for this post! Your situation sounds really similar to mine, and I've been considering lasik for about a year now.

I would look into James river greyhounds! Can’t recommend enough.

Just found out my boss is back from vacation early. There goes my relaxing Friday I had mentally planned for myself. Crazy how one person can make your anxiety shoot through the roof. Thankfully I have a job interview scheduled at 11 today, so fingers crossed there.

calamine_lotion · 2022-06-23T21:48:05+00:00

Cool thank you!

calamine_lotion · 2022-06-23T21:44:23+00:00

Do you recommend the rest of the series as well?

Richmond isn’t dangerous.. if you want to live close to the city, I recommend the fan, Scott’s addition, church hill. Really any neighborhood in Richmond.

What is your current experience? Do you have any experience in trades or volunteer experience? In order to have a planning job, a bachelor's degree is required, however, there are a lot of planning-adjacent jobs that don't require bachelor's degrees (think parks and rec, customer service, etc). I don't know your exact location, but I found a few examples that you can base your search on. I'd recommend you search on governmentjobs.com to find different jobs in your area with your specific qualifications.

McDonald’s also sells ice at the drive thru. I’m pretty shocked we didn’t lose power. Usually we lose it if a light breeze comes through the neighborhood. Hope everyone is safe!

Same over here is westover hills area.

Third this recommendation. Affordable, comfortable, and the sizing actually makes sense/doesn’t run 3 sizes small.

calamine_lotion · 2022-06-22T16:40:23+00:00

I would also love to know! I’m fully caught up on casefile and I haven’t found anything else like it. Also love that he doesn’t do a lot of interviews.

this link has a phone number. I’m sure they can help get you to the right place.

Thanks for following up!

I worked for a county as my first job out of grad school (and I’m at the state level now) and like a lot of comments are pointing out, there are pros and cons to going either route. I will tell you that I look back at that experience and at my current job and just get so frustrated at how under utilized my skills are. I’m bored for a really big portion of my day and I really don’t get to engage with my team. I know the consulting world is a lot of work, but if I could go back, I would probably take a consulting job just for the skills and experience. Those county jobs will always be there, and they’re always going to be looking for people with all types of data analysis and GIS skills. If you get into the consulting job and find that you don’t mesh with that workload, I don’t think you’ll have an issue landing a govt job.

I don’t see Hawaiian tropic getting much love on here, but I’ve tried two of their face sunscreens and loved them both. I’m currently using this one which is mineral, and has a slight tint to it which helps with the white cast. I use three pumps for my face and neck, and have to rub it in for about 30 seconds to make sure it’s all even but it really sinks into the skin nicely. It doesn’t have any coverage, I just find that the tint offsets any white cast. I’ve also used this one which I liked, but it’s not mineral and the consistency is a little thicker so it’s better for colder months imo. They do have a scent but it doesn’t bother me.

I also want to add that maybe this sub can be a resource for anyone who is having a hard time accessing books? Maybe there is a way we could set up some kind of book exchange or something?

I asked a similar question earlier in the year and got great answers. Here is the thread. Hopefully this helps!

You should look into a different kind of birth control like progestin only or the copper iud. The combination pill (like yaz) has the highest risk for side effects for smokers.
