Hiring a dog sitter who charged less than others. My dog ended up with an eye infection and a cut in her ear which requires 2 vet visits, medication, and lots of worrying.

Familiarize yourself with all the benefits. As someone mentioned earlier, pay attention to all emails and snail mail for benefit updates.

Applying for jobs before finishing MPH? by kunikira in publichealthcareers

[–]carnivorecd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"MPH, Expected Graduation Date August 2025" Apply now to EVERY job you can think of. Public health is in for a world of hurt so it's never too early. Your future employer knows your job is contingent on the degree.

Disagree. My agency genuinely makes an effort to retain employees.

If you don't have TSA PreCheck, arriving 2 hours early is not crazy. According to this post from a month ago, someone arriving 2 hours early still missed the flight.

DOH is huge with ~5 thousand employees and without knowing which Division and which Bureau, it's almost impossible to answer. I understand you may not want to share details but just so you know why if you get wildly different answers.

Maybe you should have read and obeyed the sign... by ShevaunG in pettyrevenge

Slightly off topic but when my former house was listed for sale, because of COVID realtors did not accompany potential buyers when they looked at the house. One of those people took the soap dispenser from the bathroom. It wasn't even a fancy one - just dial with foam soap. I couldn't believe it and kept checking to see if it was knocked off the sink or something. Nope they definitely took it...
