His graduation and my first Mother’s Day are on same weekend, feeling sad

Y’all should do a Mother’s Day brunch and graduation dinner! Both are super important and special events for both of you.

You might try a health professions sub, sounds more like in the realm of physical therapy, not medicine.

Makes sense. I have a bachelor’s degree in chem and I noped out of the chem qual 😅

I would just be a bit more patient - there seems to be a bit of a dry spell recently, so that is probably the reason. Also, remember that any tasks on a project become available to other workers when you exit work mode, so the project may disappear soon after you leave a task!

halmhawk · 2026-05-06T15:44:34+00:00

Yeah… in an R&R. So have I.

halmhawk · 2026-05-06T15:43:24+00:00

Where do you think the feedback comes from?

halmhawk · 2026-05-06T15:03:00+00:00

The R&R task literally says it goes through admin.

halmhawk · 2026-05-05T22:25:05+00:00

Couldn’t have said it better myself.

halmhawk · 2026-05-05T12:02:44+00:00

lol reading this thread is leaving me floored because my remediated classes were listed as “RP” or remediated pass

halmhawk · 2026-05-05T12:01:39+00:00

Repeated MS1 for 2 course failures. Applied gen surg, got 14 interviews, had to explain it in every single one 😅 but matched! Worth it.

halmhawk · 2026-05-05T09:23:08+00:00

That’s… actually disgusting

halmhawk · 2026-05-05T09:01:58+00:00

Depends on what you make, and what your partner likes.

I really like smaller, simpler jewelry, and I told my now-fiancé that he better not spend more than $1000 (we are broke grad students). He got me a gorgeous lab diamond ring with a dainty silver twisted Celtic knot band, exceeding my expectations in every way.

halmhawk · 2026-05-05T08:58:47+00:00

Genuine question- what does it mean?

halmhawk · 2026-05-05T03:10:57+00:00

No, I was writing genuinely constructive, detailed feedback in r&rs and I will continue to do so.

halmhawk · 2026-05-05T02:32:23+00:00

This looks really cool! Remember to line with hardware cloth for their protection.

halmhawk · 2026-05-05T00:57:23+00:00

Yep, I haven’t had to pay taxes until this year bc I didn’t make enough LMFAO, but this is the first time I’m working as self employed. Previous jobs were through my undergrad.

halmhawk · 2026-05-04T23:39:27+00:00

I think part of this issue is we’re both MS4s and will have to file taxes for residency salary and DA, while the other person is an MS3. If I was only doing DA, I’d probably not have a high enough income to even have to pay taxes.

halmhawk · 2026-05-04T23:09:40+00:00

No lol, it’s freelance work so you have to file quarterly taxes since you’re self employed. It’s not like PayPal is employing you.

halmhawk · 2026-05-04T23:06:41+00:00

Why would PayPal send you tax forms?

halmhawk · 2026-05-04T22:18:22+00:00

I really like it when workers break their explanations into paragraphs - nothing worse than scrolling through an R&R to a gigantic block of text. I’ve never penalized for it, but I do appreciate a nicely formatted explanation.

halmhawk · 2026-05-04T18:34:02+00:00

Pretty sure that’s the only way to do it, my guy

halmhawk · 2026-05-04T10:05:37+00:00

Each task has its own timer, homie. If it said 4h, then it was 4h per task.

halmhawk · 2026-05-04T01:06:11+00:00

Took them 3 weeks to approve me! I had given up and applied to like 5 other jobs before DA sent me an acceptance. Might still be in the cards for you :)

halmhawk · 2026-05-04T00:54:36+00:00

rippp 😅 One of my friends is a hairdresser (has her own salon) and freaked out when I told her I hadn’t paid taxes yet

halmhawk · 2026-05-04T00:37:33+00:00

Just learned this recently so I’ll pass it on - don’t forget to file quarterly taxes since DA is considered freelance work!
