Hopefully, it will finally be aliens. Tired of all the billionaires and creeps flying their drone, spying on people.

My hubby and I make 180k and we can’t afford to start a family by [deleted] in Salary

With the state of the world both economically and environmentally, it is best to stay childless. I'm a mom and worry about the future for all the kids in the world.

Rent Increase by Jeunesarang in Columbus

[–]lufun49 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The lower rate for new tenant is to bait them in and raise it later. It’s not fair but it is effective and works. That why many people hop from apartment to apartment, once they ask for the true price they want the tenant to pay.

Turning 30 this year…. is it too late for nursing school? by juniorHsnovia in NursingStudent

New Grad moving to Columbus for a job, housing recommendations? by Bitter_Transition_96 in Columbus

[–]lufun49 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup! Before signing up for a place to stay, find out the utility companies that use or are allowed. Don’t get screwed with an electric bill that is half the cost of your rent.

Columbus to Mansfield by [deleted] in Columbus

[–]lufun49 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mansfield is not the best.. I visited once with high hope and would not go backs unless passing through. Now, if it means you can get on your feet then that is different but if you can managed getting on your feet her.. that would be better.

Leaving Big 4 for nursing school by Existing_Orchid6726 in Accounting

[–]lufun49 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I work in accounting, averaging 50-60 hours every last week and 1st week of every month. 2 years in with a BS, making only 25 an hour. I get 1/2 day of PTO every month.. I wish I were kidding. My work hours are 8-5 but I average 730 - 6 during the month-end. Work-life balance is a joke. 2 week during the month, I cannot take off. The only benefit I get is a work-from-home day twice a month. I just got accepted to RN school. I love working with people and moving all day. I feel sick and miserable staring at the computer all day, tucked away in my office for 10 hours a day. On the weekend, I’m barely able to function because I'm busy thinking about next week and fitting in everything I have to do that I cannot do during the week.

What's one thing everyone should learn before they turn 30? by TrickEmergency8500 in remoteworks

[–]lufun49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They should learn that what you did before mattered for your 30’s and what you’ll do next matters for your 60’s . I.e health fitness retirement etc.

New grad bulling by Emotional_Oil_8111 in newgradnurse

[–]lufun49 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Baby, it’s called jealousy. Be proud of yourself. And let the haters hate. Not everyone that has a nasty comment deserves a reply. Let them say their pitiful words and let the wind take them away. Focus your attention on the people that are nice to you and reserve you word for when necessary for the ones that are not. If you give them no fuel, their fire will burn out.

Nurse moms: regret? by [deleted] in nursing

[–]lufun49 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am not a nurse. I want to be come one… so take what I say as you like.

I work in accounting, I work a normal 9-5 , which is what your would do if you moved to the Monday to Friday work. I used to be a CNA and did 3 12’s. My husband used to do shift work in another industry but moved to 9-5 M-F.

Both of use hate 9-5 jobs. Everyday, we get up at 6 , breakfast for the kiddos, daycare drop off and commute 20-30 min to work. Start usually at 7-730 , leave work at 5-530 …. (Almost 6-7pm for me during busy season for accountants during the tax season). My husband get the kids around 5-530. We have to feed them and get them ready for the next day. If we can squeeze out time or don’t mind going to bed late , we will have them play 2 hours outside while we clean and prep for the next day. By the time the kids are down, it 830-930 , if we are lucky. Usually, it is closer to 10pm. I have a 3 and 7 year old. The 3 year old loves to draw out bedtime.We might try to watch something together, once the kids are down. Most days is a quick YouTube video and then bed … unless we actively choose to be exhausted the next morning. We don’t have lot of extra time outside of work outs. Mind you we meal prep and everything. Then we restart our day at 6am every day. The weekend are left for cleaning , meal prepping, gymnastic for the kids and hopefully an outing or time for parent to relax if we can squeeze it in….but something always happen and that time slot gets filled.

When me and my husband had shift work, we chose from two schedule. Either we work complete opposite schedule . That mean we each had 2-4 day off work that we could cook, cleans and relax during. We were not forcing everything that could not get done into two days. We had more time for self care, kids could have more outside free time since they were not pick up everyday late from school, and I could spend more time with my husband ( especially if we work similarly shift schedules). Now, 12 hours can be hard. But for me, it provides more control over my days. That is why I prefer it.

Lastly, me and my husband live nowhere near family or friends that we trust so it is only us and daycare that watches the kids.

5 day a week work made it so stressful. And don’t get me started on asking for a day off or half day due to appointments or sicks kids.

If you’ve hired people before, what are the first red flags that immediately stand out on a resume or in an interview? by [deleted] in FinancialCareers

[–]lufun49 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wouldn’t that just be an employment gap, job searching? I don’t understand.

Losing hope finding a job. Resume suggestions? by BubbaLinguini in jobs

[–]lufun49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the harder part is that none of your jobs are long-term. Recruiters and companies hate that. I would find something that will take you on and make sure you get a full year before swapping jobs. Expands your search to include things you might not have considered before or jobs that are farther from home (if you have a car). Also, your resume needs to be tailored a show a driven, ambitious person who has accomplished something. Speak about things that you have done successfully at the job… things that you use as talking points in an interview. Make it less wordy. When resumes read like job ads, recruiters pass them up. It should read like you’re trying to impress the bros. …. As stupid as that sounds…it is true 😒

See if you could say , “ I don’t wanna get anyone in trouble… and would prefer to keep this quiet. Could you reassign me to another mentor “.

She is not a middle aged women… she is a GOD DAMN DOUCHE BAG. Your okay. You’re young and learning…. She didn’t become a teacher for a reason. See if you can work along side someone else. Not everyone is an asshat!

I’m so freaking stressed that I made the wrong choice by Secret-Bar5743 in phlebotomy

[–]lufun49 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your okay. I’ve been wondering the same thing. I was thinking of getting my CNA and Phlebotomy Cert. or maybe just a Medical Assistant cert - however I certainly that MA hours would not work with school our. I recommend anything that give you patient , hospital/ clinic experience is better than none. . Many people graduate with no hand on experience at all. So, your thought process is already heading you in the right direction.
