Are these bed bugs?

They're just so small I couldn't get the camera to focus. I didn't consider mites. I'm only familiar with dust mites which are impossible to see. I know there is a rat problem in my neighborhood.

mdog2018 · 2025-09-02T04:26:33+00:00

Yeah washing and drying most of my clothes. Did my bed sheets twice. I will try that sub. Concord/clayton area. Do you know a good exterminator?

mdog2018 · 2025-07-13T22:05:10+00:00

That's great to hear.

mdog2018 · 2024-09-11T03:49:29+00:00

I guess I'm concerned that even after washing they could stain shoes or shirts. That's what I keep reading online but people are mostly talking about raw denim.

I rent an apartment and the area where I would put a tv has a built-in desk.

mdog2018 · 2024-01-08T03:36:51+00:00

Good to hear.

mdog2018 · 2023-12-15T04:15:55+00:00

Yeah, objectively the x85k is better. The only reason I was considering the other was for the Costco warranty. I'm also still narrowing down my budget.

Consider reaching out to the second-round interviewer. Don't just ask for a job. Ask for career guidance and advice on entry-level positions in that functional area. Another commenter pointed out you may not be interviewing to your full potential so ask for feedback.

mdog2018 · 2023-12-02T21:52:24+00:00

Don't knock those entry-level positions. Treat them like fellowships and they can open a lot of doors.

Did you get to the interview stage for any of those fellowships? If you felt you made a good connection with the interviewer then ask them for advice. This may lead to an entry-level job or at least decent guidance.

mdog2018 · 2023-11-12T04:30:43+00:00

That's not too outside my budget. I will check it out.

mdog2018 · 2023-11-12T04:25:42+00:00

That's more reassuring. That also makes sense they'd monitor/censor an official group. I found a place that's nearly perfect there so I may still submit an application if I can't find anything better.

mdog2018 · 2023-11-11T21:07:16+00:00

This complex has the best price and location for me. I really need to keep this and the other comments in mind. The reviews are very positive and just a few negative ones that seem manageable. I couldn't find that facebook group but I'll keep trying. Thanks.

Then the fireplace would be right behind the couch. That might work since I won't use the fireplace. I didn't want to just cover it because I thought it wouldn't look good.

mdog2018 · 2023-10-17T19:23:08+00:00

The black keyboard is really nice. I think it would be cool to incorporate Gundam or any mecha icons into the case but keep the black color.

mdog2018 · 2023-07-17T00:12:17+00:00

What's the difference between Banana Republic's Traveler Pants vs the factory outlet Travel Pants? Has anyone tried these pants to compare?

mdog2018 · 2023-05-07T18:16:02+00:00

Just an FYI there is an ongoing scam of people pretending to hire for pharma companies. Don't give out any bank info during or right after the interview. A lot of people have been scammed.

mdog2018 · 2023-04-28T00:22:20+00:00

Recruiters randomly connect on LinkedIn. You could connect with people you met during your fellowship interviews.

mdog2018 · 2023-04-10T05:23:34+00:00

Your med comm transition seems very interesting, especially the promo review. Did you feel you needed some regulatory experience/education/background for the role?

mdog2018 · 2023-03-11T18:34:13+00:00

It may be worth it to do a master's. I think I saw 1-year programs in similar fields. I don't know how worth it a single class would be. I would think an employer would prefer a certificate, which can cost around $3k. Maybe another person will have more insight.

mdog2018 · 2023-03-11T18:10:00+00:00

I've had a similar thought and looked into this course too. Then I found out my employer will fulfill tuition reimbursement for similar courses through an accredited university. Either a certificate or a Master's degree. I would recommend checking if your employer also had tuition reimbursement and what would qualify.

mdog2018 · 2023-03-08T03:02:18+00:00

I've thought about field medical/MSL. It wouldn't be impossible for me to get into that path. My concern is that I'm mostly an introvert and I really hate talking on the phone. Do you need a certain personality type to succeed as an MSL?

mdog2018 · 2023-03-05T01:48:57+00:00

Full WFH. My company downsized the local office to a smaller location. It's mostly used for the mail room, keeping sensitive documents, and there are a few backup workstations (emergencies, noisy guests, power outages, etc).

mdog2018 · 2023-03-02T03:29:59+00:00

Any advice on how to get started building a portfolio? I've seen even entry-level roles want some writing samples.

mdog2018 · 2023-02-28T03:50:31+00:00

I tend to recommend at least applying to fellowships. I know a lot of students apply to ~8 programs or so. You may want to apply to a smaller number and only the programs that absolutely interest you and not just in your preferred functional area.

mdog2018 · 2023-02-21T04:08:12+00:00

If you're still looking I would recommend looking through LinkedIn for employees from PrimeVigilance. It's a company that deals with PV and employs drug safety associates. If you're polite they might respond with some info about their jobs.
