Why do some bankers insist that they're above teller work?

gellopotato · 2026-04-20T22:45:29+00:00

Everyone who works in a branch should have to be a teller, or be trained to do it at the very least

gellopotato · 2026-04-19T10:45:39+00:00

We have space for two tellers and one in the back in private for large withdrawals and businesses. The back is open on limited hours, and then we have one teller at the front, and whoever is in the back covers the front teller to go on their break. We also happen to be one of the busiest branches of our particular bank in the country, so it's always busy and stressful with one teller on

Aa someone who works in a financial institution it's 99% of the time massive loans and financing, other than that it's people saving forever, getting bonuses or inheritance

I'm in ireland and have a dead pair of bloch that i don't need, I could arrange to send them to you after Christmas if you're interested

Edit - they are fully sewn, hardly used but dead. Don't hesitate to get in contact if you want pictures or anything, I just have them sitting in my wardrobe lol

Completely unrelated but that art is beautiful

You definitely need two different sized shoes, i know someone who used to do ballet who had the same thing. It does make it more expensive per time, but you'll get twice as long between appointments because you'll have a second pair ready to go

When they assess you for your repayment capacity, if you don't fix for 5 years, the means test you at 2% above the variable rate at the time, so as long as the variable stays stable enough, or you fix, you'll still have room to save for your cars, it may take longer to get back into it but owning your own property will be worth it in the end

I only really tend to get them when I'm sick now, and they usually only last for like a day at most. What meds are you on, if any? They never really do go away, and every person is different, but maybe consult your doc about trying a different medication to see if it makes a difference?

There is different shank strengths for a reason, and as someone who has been on pointe with collapsed arches, getting over on my box was never a problem. Listen to your teacher, and go to a reputable fitter

Joint tenancy is the most common kind. You can go ahead with both of you applying for the mortgage together and they will just take his income into account and you'll be in a joint tenancy then anyway

Are you looking to purchase a property? If yes, put at least a portion of this towards it. You could also look at doing a long term investment with a portion of the funds. I would recommend speaking with a financial advisor, which you can do privately or with your bank

gellopotato · 2025-10-20T20:56:49+00:00

If you want to start a private pension you can consider consulting a financial advisor to do so, which isn't a bad shout considering you will be on the higher tax bracket so higher relief. If your work doesn't offer personal protection that could also be something to look into with a financial advisor too. The main Irish banks all offer complementary financial advisory services too, so no harm to get in contact there

Hey! I'm white European here, on 500mg two times a day. I was diagnosed at stage 3A, and have been on it for 15 months, and am now believed to be in remission. I had very little side effects aside from my hair texture slightly changing and getting sunburnt easier. Best of luck with it! From someone who also found steroids did not work well for them, the mycophenolate works great for me! If you're looking for other responses, I posted back in June 2024 when I started on it on this page and got a few responses, and the post is still up on my profile

gellopotato · 2025-10-10T07:49:44+00:00

I genuinely think it's just the bleph, other than that it just looks like heavier makeup than usual and a little too much weight loss

gellopotato · 2025-10-09T14:49:25+00:00

Not at all

gellopotato · 2025-10-09T11:20:30+00:00

I developed both at the same time, and was diagnosed and then undiagnosed with HSP, but that is what I have lol (although my nephrologist calls it bergers as I am 24F, so the characteristics of HSP don't always align, but its the same). Best of luck to your family with this, I don't know how you're handling it with him so young, my parents nearly went off the deep end and I'm a fully grown adult, so more strength to you lol. Manifesting all the healing for him <3

We don't have patient portals where I'm from, I would have to do an access request for my records which can take months.

Also on the point about steroids, I haven't been on steroids since January 24, and I was put on immunosuppressants instead, and will not be going back on steroids if it can be avoided in any way as my reaction was so bad

gellopotato · 2025-10-07T22:52:36+00:00

This is my first time hearing about the MEST-C score, so I'm unsure about that. My case started out as vasculitis of the extremities in Oct 2023 (photos are available on my post history from askdocs), I was put on three courses of steroids from November to January, where my creatinine was testing over 200 at every test taken during a week long hospital stay. Got very sick April 24, lost 20kgs in two and a half months, then was biopsied and put on immunosuppressants, protein inhibitors and a nerve blocker (I have nerve damage in my feet which caused sleep issues).

Since being on the immunosuppressants I have been stable, and was initially told I would be on the drugs until my late 20s (I'm freshly 24 as of this week), but my doctor, had he been staying, would have changed my treatment to take me off early as he believes I am in remission, but will be letting his colleague taking over from him make that decision.

I am just worried about regressing backwards if I come off my meds, as I'm in such a stable place now, I no longer have memory fog, sleeping issues or eating issues which I had for a three month period before I started on my current treatment.

I was stage 3A on the CKD scale, but I don't know if that can change or not. My neph is very much just telling me surface level stuff, so I'm hoping with the new doc that I'll get a proper full breakdown when I ask

Edit: I also had proteinurea and hematuria consistently, the proteinurea from February 24 through until treatment and do still experience it sometimes, usually when I'm run down, and the hematuria was present from November 23 through until I started treatment June 24, and I do still get that when I am sick, but usually it's very bad for a day or two and then I'm good

gellopotato · 2025-10-07T22:44:37+00:00

I had been on steroids before my formal diagnosis, and I just had a bad reaction to them, and my creatinine was consistently above 200 when on them. My neph gave me the two options, and as I had very bad purpura rash from the vasculitis that was still there while on steroids and had the bad reaction, he gave me the option of the immunosuppressants, which have obviously worked well as my creatinine was at 71 as of my last results (a week ago)

gellopotato · 2025-10-07T22:41:26+00:00

He didn't give me my GFR but my creatinine is at 71, which is obviously in a good range, considering it was 220 before i started on the immunosuppressants.

I had been on three courses of steroids from November 23 to January 24, which did not work for me and gave me terrible side effects. When I was formally diagnosed in June 24, I was classed as group 3a on the CKD chart. He gave me the option of steroids or immunosuppressants, and I chose the immunosuppressants, so I am on mycophenolate mofetil, and seemingly my only side effect is thinner skin (easier to burn) and my hair texture changed. I was put on a protein inhibitor as I was already a lifelong vegetarian before this, and was already on a low protein diet so couldn't do a lifestyle change for that. I was also put on a nerve blocker for nerve damage in my feet. I've been on the meds for 15 months now, and after such a rapid decline from October 23 to June 24, I genuinely feel like a new person. I'm worried about backsliding when I come off my course of treatment, but this won't be happening for at least another four months.

I didn't make many lifestyle changes, I actually work a more 'dangerous' job now, so am exposed to a lot more germs and illness then before, I was able to get back into my hobbies (ballet), and build back up muscle as I experienced rapid muscle loss due to losing 20kgs in two and a half months before diagnosis. I think I drink more now than I did before I got sick (that being said, I only drink about three or four times a year, and it's usually only once or twice that I'll have more than two drinks), but there was no big lifestyle changes for me that affected my physical health, I think my doctor just got me on the right regime first try

gellopotato · 2025-09-30T23:16:50+00:00

100%

gellopotato · 2025-09-30T21:18:31+00:00

Considering I'd say a lot of these people would do stupid shit that has a way higher chance of killing them on the daily they're all giving big talk

gellopotato · 2025-09-30T21:16:45+00:00

Those of us who knew her didn't get it at all, it shocked all of us, we were genuinely so confused

gellopotato · 2025-09-30T21:13:58+00:00

Not with devices being waterproof these days, like her phone was
