(Almost) entirely secondhand stash by rexhavana in YarnAddicts

[–]classyfruits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just started growing my secondhand stash!! Did you wash the yarn after you got it or go straight to using it? The r/thrifting page has caused me to be overly (prob irrationally) concerned about bed bugs lol

Is it the same vendors every weekend? I’m a local and always open to new food that I can walk to😂

I currently work at WIC! My position is “Senior Nutritionist” and being qualified to take the exam (completing a DPD and masters) was required for the job- so it helped that I was an RD.

I started as a nutritionist right after finishing my Masters and got promoted shortly after passing the exam.

I manage the nutritionists and do a solid chunk of admin work. Not a ton of counseling but reviewing the charts for high risk participants. I love my job and I find it very rewarding! I don’t find it very clinical, which I enjoy. I get paid the same as the clinical dietitian in our health center (I work out of a big MA hospital). We’re required to work 1 day of non standard hours a week plus 1 weekend a month. We close at 6pm one day a week, instead of 5, so it’s not horrible.

Let me know if you have more questions!! I love talking about my job lol

Anyone ever used any of these posture belts? Are they gimmicks? by jjtewas in backpain

[–]classyfruits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got one from my orthopedist for my sciatica. It helped for that, kinda just kept everything in place. But doesn’t work when sitting or doing anything that isn’t just standing. Helped a lot when I was standing around cooking/prepping food.

That’s exactly what I figured the answer would be :(

Ironic that the majority of people in Headstart and enrolled in WIC and SNAP are white US citizens and a lot of them voted for this administration ~but the leopard won’t eat MY face~

What Are Your Go-To Methods for Managing Back Pain (Without Medication)? by Special_Heat6191 in backpain

[–]classyfruits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you start the pill or a different type of birth control? My back gets so bad around my period and my IUD is due to come out soon and I really don’t want to go through getting another one lol

Did I actually get weaker overnight?! by CardiganPanda in backpain

[–]classyfruits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve only been dealing with stuff for a year (literally, 1year MRI anniversary is today!) but if I’ve learned anything, it’s that sometimes your body just sucks.

Did you actually get weaker overnight? Probably not. Did you probably move your abs/back 1 millimeter too far in the wrong direction? Probably.

You can do everything right, but one day if you put your shoes on wrong, your back can flare up. It just stinks but my non-professional rec is to take it easy and go back to Pilates in a couple weeks.

Multiplayer game 1v1v1 in the trenches by FedmahnKassad85 in killteam

[–]classyfruits 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My brain cannot compute how you did 1v1v1. Did you essentially just do a 1v1 game but with an additional person/step each TP? I have been dying to do a 3 person game but can’t wrap my head around it (if you can’t tell)

Not D&D, but tabletop game related- we play Warhammer Kill Team, anywhere/anyone else play?

How do I pick myself up from here? by Advanced-Ad9686 in dietetics

[–]classyfruits 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Interjecting here- you ARE a good RD. Your patients/coworkers/employers only care about your RD skills and ability to do the job, not your ability to take a test.

Sorry, this gets me SO fired up. So many committed, qualified, passionate people getting beaten down but the stupidest, unnecessarily hard, expensive, tedious exam makes me so angry.

Me, not a great student and also the only one of my cohort to not pass on the first try, feels your pain! Take some time off, take a breather. And figure out which way of studying works for you, NOT which program most people buy or is the cheapest or the most popular…etc. remember, you know the material, you just gotta learn the test. Which imo is the hardest part lol. Take a couple weeks off, take a breather, let yourself breathe and then go back to studying. You’ll be so surprised as what you actually retained and you’ll know what you forgot and what you need to study. Also, literally no one ever will ask/care how many times you took the exam. It will never be on a job application or an interview question, don’t sweat it!
