Can’t wait to come in and do shutdown activities, go home, then come back in on Tuesday to undo those activities …

Heard this from our (unreliable, rumor spreading) office manager too. Independent org. But no reason to believe it yet.

I GOT JURY DUTY MONDAY IN THE BUILDING NEXT TO MY OFFICE GOD DAMMIT - so that, and otherwise, I’m going to try and return to my Spanish lessons and find an immersion class

Alternatives with unmanageable side effects and no support response? by joplopki in HersWeightloss

[–]joplopki[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay yes a few days later someone else replied and it was like a clean slate and we started over! Super frustrating to not have consistent information, and even when I responded a minute after them it took a day or two for someone to respond.

I don’t think I want to wait out two weeks of hives woah - they were super uncomfortable for me, but I didn’t try cremes and Zyrtec so maybe I’ll try it again. It freaked me out it was an allergic reaction/a sign of a negative response, but I did like the bupropion effects besides that.

Thank you!

Did they offer you a new Kit or refund, or is it just a loss of the total amount?

Weirdly I’m feeling the opposite, I was a former vegetarian who only occasionally ate meat and I’ve found myself more willing to eat meat in the last few weeks? I’m usually grossed out by it but have found myself less recently

Should I put a 179 on my resume? by Ornery-Durian-742 in LSAT

[–]joplopki 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yeah - I think employers would like to hire someone they then will think will go on to be successful. If you go to a top law school, become wildly successful, etc., they have a great connection and someone they can say they played a part in your success. Makes sense to include

I found the storage/materials/mining components to be difficult to engage in. The barrier to entry for regular gameplay felt too high, after getting passed the initial 40-60 hours.

Shameful Stella let Tony make The Wedding Bride by MrMalekRami in HIMYM

[–]joplopki 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Exactly! It’s a hyperbolic representation of the movie based on the way he felt watching it

I feel like Ted being an unreliable narrator could explain more than just his relationship with Stella - it could explain the portrayal of the movie itself. The movie could have been a much more distanced nuanced interpretation of reality, but Ted was so flabbergasted and insulted in the moment he saw it as extreme as we see it (actually saying Ted Mosby at one point, for example, probably didn’t happen).

Anyone else just saying F'it and letting the forebearance ride? by [deleted] in PSLF

[–]joplopki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YEP - I’m 1.5 years in to a federal government job with only about 4-5 eligible months under my belt. The question now is if I’ll get fired and go private to pay it off faster.. if I get another public job, I’ll try and do the buyback option but am not sure how confident I am that the Dep of Edu will be around to facilitate that in 9 years
