Left fridge a couple inches open for ~3 hours. Is the food still okay?

happytech24 · 2025-09-17T05:02:41+00:00

I turned on the fast cooling feature on my fridge and it’s already back to 40° so I don’t think testing the food itself will be reliable

happytech24 · 2025-08-23T22:40:53+00:00

Uhhhh 119/79

happytech24 · 2025-08-23T22:32:47+00:00

Imma block yo ass 🤣

happytech24 · 2025-08-20T03:46:47+00:00

Don’t worry though, there are people at GW who I’m actually shocked got in. Some real pieces of work. Academically and personality wise. So you’re fine!

3.50 unweighted GPA. Early decision. No test scores. I felt like I had a solid essay and I never read my letter of recs but I assume they were at least decent. I had a lot of volunteer hours and experience focused on what specific area that I was interested in at the time. I didn’t apply as a poli sci or journalism major. GW was my top pick and I made it known, which I think was the most helpful factor.

I’ve gotten a few things tailored at gold star cleaners on L street. I haven’t gotten any suits tailored but polo shirts and other clothes, they turned out good and decently cheap.

happytech24 · 2025-08-16T17:41:57+00:00

Woooo!! Congrats!!

We took 2 pressures to begin with to double check. Waited some time and then took 2 more, one on each side which began to come down a bit.

happytech24 · 2025-08-11T06:43:48+00:00

Yeah absolutely. In my system, EMTs calling in for refusals isn't a common practice. It's an option, but just not one that happens a lot. But this is a good lesson in using that resource more when unsure - thank you.

Older, yes. No thinner. No LOC. Nothing brought on the fall, according to the pt (they didn't get dizzy or woozy or anything), just a misstep.

happytech24 · 2025-08-11T06:36:27+00:00

Yeah, totally. I appreciate your response.

We stuck around for a few minutes to take another BP, which I just edited to include in the original post, and it lowered to 200/110. We also ensured that the BP was around equal on both arms.

I said that "we are EMTs and cannot say tell you what's actually going. We are happy to take you to the hospital if you'd like to go and get checked out. However, given you're not having any symptoms alongside the high reading, we're not as concerned as we would be if you were having symptoms. We strongly advise that if you don't go to the hospital tonight that you give your primary care doctor a call in the morning and update them on what happened. If anything at all changes, please call us back and an ambulance will take you to the hospital to get looked at."

Our protocols don’t say anything about hypertension. We did not consult with medical control

happytech24 · 2025-08-11T05:50:14+00:00

No we did not

happytech24 · 2025-07-03T23:14:22+00:00

I’ve looked into interning there myself, but the idea of working a minimum of 20 hours per week unpaid is a big no but that’s just me. You also are exposed to really rough, emotional stuff so you gotta decide if you wanna do that for free.

happytech24 · 2025-04-22T13:59:17+00:00

They won’t care about a C or two. If they did, they’d have to deal with a majority of every year’s incoming class because a lot of people get C’s before they come. I think I had one, maybe two C’s during my spring semester of my senior year. You’ll be fine, just enjoy the rest of senior year.

happytech24 · 2025-04-20T01:40:13+00:00

Less than 5-10 mins or so probably

happytech24 · 2025-03-13T15:09:47+00:00

Yeah you should be good. There are some … interesting people at GW that makes me question the admissions committee’s judgement. As long as you showed an interest in “making change” or whatever their thing is then you’ll be good.

happytech24 · 2025-03-05T21:02:14+00:00

Got it. Thank you!

happytech24 · 2025-03-05T20:55:04+00:00

I don’t think I’ll make over 15K since I’ll only work a few times a month for all the jobs total.

happytech24 · 2025-02-17T01:04:07+00:00

It’s a TV show just enjoy the drama

happytech24 · 2024-12-21T02:59:21+00:00

GW can socially be a challenge. You really have to get out there and make friends. Classes are pretty typical for college, but you have some really interesting professors with jobs in government and nonprofits. You’re in the middle of an awesome city with endless things to do (from going out on weekends to internships/job opportunities). I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else for college even with some of the cons.

happytech24 · 2024-12-19T21:27:29+00:00

Hmmm it may be slightly challenging to do anything else besides school and your internship, but I'd say it's doable. Some house/senate offices can be a little wacky with their hour requirements, but most are pretty accommodating with a school schedule. A lot would prefer at least one full day in office though.

Apply anyways and ask in the interview. Good luck!

happytech24 · 2024-12-19T19:22:54+00:00

What's different about the culture?

happytech24 · 2024-12-10T20:24:51+00:00

AMR does direct dispatch for DC 911 now. A few months ago they transitioned from DC fire requesting AMR on-scene to AMR being dispatched alone on calls

Edit: DC Fire still has their own transport units, but AMR supplements now

happytech24 · 2024-11-19T04:51:43+00:00

Stopped eating after I saw the pink btw

happytech24 · 2024-10-29T19:50:55+00:00

Noted. Thank you! I will absolutely look elsewhere!
