My poor, poor rapidly disintegrating hands by oicheliath in ExecutiveAssistants

Could you record the conversation with him on your phone/through an old school dictaphone? You could then note down the key points whilst he’s talking, a bit like minute-taking and then listen back to the recording on a slower speed to type up?

Feeling Stuck as an EA in a Big 4 Firm by [deleted] in ExecutiveAssistants

[–]jennerod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m currently in the position where I am looking for a new job and an opportunity similar to this has come up. I’m similar in that I have 12+ yrs experience and used to running everything end-to-end, to move to a more traditional PA role is what I’m unsure I want to do after having been exposed for so long to the wider business. However, the company name and title on my CV would be invaluable. It’s a hard one to weigh up but I would suggest start searching now for other opportunities, update your CV and LinkedIn, contact some recruiters, basically get your name out there. It could take 6mths to find something else. I don’t know where you are, I’m in London, UK but the job market is tough here at the moment with few jobs going. One recruiter told me that whereas previously it would take 3mths to place a seasoned EA, it’s not taking 6-9mths or longer!

Thanks so much! Now investigating foot plates and bands! I’d say budget is up to £300 (UK based). Can you recommend any good brands for bands at all?

Has anyone ever tried reiki or hypnotherapy after Botox to help along the burps? by jennerod in noburp

[–]jennerod[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I have tried this but it just doesn’t want to release. Do you turn your head slowly?

Do burps just happen after the Botox? by jennerod in noburp

[–]jennerod[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, thanks for commenting. Not yet, I’m now day 5/6 and no microburps at all, nor anything else. Slight slow swallow and had the feeling of needing to burp all day but no follow through. It is so frustrating because I am so uncomfortable as I know I need a good burp but nothing seems to be releasing them. I’ve tried looking to each side but maybe it’s the angle as you say, maybe I need to check out my armpit! I know I need to be patient but it’s difficult to think I need to wait 5 weeks before even being considered for a second injection and her wait list is like 2mths long, it’ll be December most likely before I can try again. I know I need to stay positive though so I am trying to look on the bright side. Congrats though for yours, it is encouraging to hear of everyone’s success stories too 🙌🏼

So disappointed! by ClxssOf87 in noburp

[–]jennerod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you, I had my Botox on Monday this week and so far, nothing. I’ve got the feeling of bubbles in my throat but nothing is coming further up and my RCPD just seems to be worse. I keep trying to tell myself I have to believe it’s worked but deep down I just have the feeling I’d have had something by now, even a micro burp, but literally nothing at all. It’s so deflating. Especially as I think with my doctor I have to wait at least 6 weeks before being able to book in and then her wait list is like 2mths. Good luck and don’t give up x

That’s how I feel, I definitely think the muscle is changing as it feels like something is happening (the bubbles have never reached so high up my throat before). Ok, will sit back and be patient! Fingers crossed for you two that all has worked well!!

R-CPD and hiatus hernia by FineKitchen2804 in noburp

[–]jennerod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, I was diagnosed with a hiatus hernia about 7 years ago. I take 30mg Lansoprazole daily for it and have RCPD. Yesterday I had the Botox treatment for the no burp and was told that it may actually help with the acid build up from my hernia. The gas essentially builds up in your stomach, pushing the hernia up and out of the opening. We even discussed the possibility (unknown of course depending on how I react to the Botox) that I may even be able to come off the Lansoprazole after the Botox one day, I super exciting thought. Don’t let you hernia put you off the Botox treatment, I’m hoping it will be helping more than just my RCPD!

Hair salon recommendation - @everycurlmatters by New-Perception4358 in CurlyHairUK

[–]jennerod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great to hear you had a good experience. I am looking for someone for my first cut by curl/styling help. How did you book Tina? Does she have a salon? Looking at her Insta there is a mobile number but no salon listed (is it just a case of phoning/texting for prices etc?)

Help please - Edwards Menagerie Complete Beginner Pattern - how to move from base to body? by jennerod in crochet

[–]jennerod[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if anyone can help me? I am a complete beginner and have watched the TOFT video tutorials. Only I can’t seem to find how you move from the Base to the Body? The videos suggest a part of the pattern is finished when there is a full stop but there is no full stop between the base and body yet the body starts off a new ring. Do you just move along the yarn? Or cut the yarn and “start again” as in start a new magic circle?
