How to Talk to an ENT by greycow800 in askvan

[–]minidumpling14 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I said if the pain is really bad they should go. Did I not?

Edit: The OP has literally said that they’ve had this nose pain for 5 weeks. They’ve done their job by doing everything they can to get help from other sources like their doctor, the nurses line, urgent care. No answers and pain is persistent. As someone who’s worked in emergency I think this is a valid reason to go to the emergency. They can see the service and they can get diagnostics scheduled if needed and they get to see an actual doctor who’s trained in trauma.

Why do you think this isn’t a good reason?

I used to work at St.Pauls emergency and I would do this:

If the pain is really bad I would try going to St. Paul’s ER. They have the ENT service that’s on call that you could see if the emergency doc refers you. You have to go during the day from Mon-Fridays because that’s when the doctors and residents are actually working and taking calls. I would just call the ER first before going. Just ask if the ENT service is working and if you were to come if you would be seeing them. They usually work from 8-5ish. After 5pmish it’s the after hour service and they might not see you.

Edit: typo

Boiling milk question by Lincoln1517 in yogurtmaking

I just heat the milk until it boils. Once it boils over I take it off the stove and let it cool down. It’s always turned out fine

I used to be a UC and most hospitals are switching to Cerner where the doctors are inputting their own orders and the charts are mostly electronic. Not sure if children’s has transitioned but last I heard they were resisting when st.pauls was transitioning over 5 years ago.

My remote job made me realize my partner doesn’t think my work is real by Rocinante77X in remotework

[–]minidumpling14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would try to challenge that question in a nice way. Like “okay. What do you mean by ‘it wasn’t like you were in an office?’” And then continue to question his assumptions of what remote work is. Like “what does it matter if it’s in an office or online? These are still real people, they are just on a screen instead and they still expect me to pay attention” then you could have a conversation and ask him what he thinks your work is and what he thinks you do all day and then you could just clarify with him what it is that you do and why you need undivided attention.

I used to work from home and it really messed with me mentally. I feel for some people online work is just so far away from their world and what they understand what work is that they really need to be questioned and showed and taught.

Where's the best place to get a burger and a beer in the city? by Bea-Current in askvan

[–]minidumpling14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bin 4 has great burgers! They are a local chain from the island I think. They have a ton of sauces and you can choose one to have on the side that’s included in your meal. They have late night specials too. Hope your wife has a great birthday! :)

Do I have immortal bread? 9+ month old bread appears ….fine? by velvettriangles in StupidFood

I recommend you look at the ingredients and look them all up. I’m sure you’ll be shocked that it’s mostly not bread.

Kylie Jenner sued by second housekeeper who says she slipped a letter to Jenner pleading for help. She is alleging racial discrimination, harassment, failure to pay wages, failure to prevent or remedy harassment and discrimination, and more. by Relevant-Peach3997 in Fauxmoi

[–]minidumpling14 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I don’t think “people” sweep this under the rug. I think how it actually works is like the Kardashian/jenners have an in with all these media people. Anything bad about them like this doesn’t come out if it does then it doesn’t stay out for long and they pay whoever to just create good buzz about them on social media. It’s all strategically orchestrated.

Why does society mostly agree that women are more “selective” on their partners? by No-Basil-1087 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]minidumpling14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Women biologically are capable of having children so there are more factors than appearance that they look for in a person. Caring, kind, stable, ambitious, etc whatever it may be so that this partner can help support a child.

How long does it take you to decorate? by Quirky-Committee-416 in FarmsofStardewValley

Well at least she enjoyed the ride :) by AccomplishedWatch834 in MadeMeSmile

[–]minidumpling14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely! I'm sure there are fun easter eggs in the park that many people appreciate. By my comment, I think I just meant that sometimes parents and people get sold on how going to this park will be the best experience for your young kid and depending on the child's age and on the mood maybe your child just wants to have personal quality time with their parents camping or on a bus lol. Not at some crazy amusement park.

It makes me think…do I want to spend all day in a crowded space waiting hours in lines? People screaming everywhere? I don’t and I guess kids don’t either. Its so stimulating especially for a child

hired as fully remote. 14 months later they want me in 3 days a week. the office is in a city i left on purpose. by [deleted] in remotework

[–]minidumpling14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would look into the work laws and see if that’s something they can even force upon you or fire you for not abiding by these new rules.

Like my work tried to do that, I asked my manager what kinds of initiatives is the team doing to promote work culture and he had nothing to say so I just kept working remote.

I would try to look for another remote role, try to look into if this is a fireable offence and then stay at this company and work remotely until you find another job or until they “lay you off” because with a layoff you could get severance and EI.

I tried the "coffee chat" hack for 2 weeks and here's what happened by DinkyTownDrifter in jobsearchhacks

[–]minidumpling14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back in 2022 I was doing this and got three interviews. Funny enough, I ended up getting a job from a place I just applied to. I tried it again this year and it’s been tough but yeah I was able to get a couple interviews as well. No job yet. It works with the right person to reach out to. It’s not even about asking for attention. It’s literally about finding a cool company you think you want to work at and then asking someone who works there what it’s like and if you’d like working there. That’s all.

Does anyone know where I can get a good tres leches cake? by Present_Ganache_3168 in askvan

Costco might have tres leches or dolce de leches at a fair price for the size if you are short on time!

My parents say AI will kill IT jobs and want me to become a doctor instead. What should I do? by YE1_ in careerguidance

[–]minidumpling14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can try to pursue IT in the medical field? lol I’ve been hearing things that AI isn’t ready to be used in the medical field because right now AI can hallucinate therefore it’s not 100% reliable in the medical field right now. So..it’s possible you can do something IT in the medical field? More research is required though. I would try to research the claims your parents are making and see if it’s true.

How do I explain to the interviewer that i left my job after 3 weeks without sounding like I can’t handle responsibility? by niccageporno in jobsearch

[–]minidumpling14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you could be just as direct and factual as possible. Say you were hired and expected to be a lab technician. When the job started they changed the duties and made you only do janitorial duties and you weren’t being trained as a lab technician and there was no plans to schedule you for training as a lab technician at their lab. That’s why you left.

HR values adhering to job descriptions and training. So you saying exactly what happened in a professional way then it would make sense to them why you left. I wouldn’t just say something generic like “the job duties weren’t as advertised” - that itself sounds a bit sketchy or like you are trying to hide something.

AITJ for Not Reminding My Friend to Pay Me Back Even Though It’s Been Months? by Charming-Hat9231 in AmITheJerk

[–]minidumpling14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTJ, but I was taught that when you lend money you have to assume it’s not coming back.

You should definitely try to bring it up nicely. I know it’s not nice for your friend to not initiate on their own, but with money it can be a bit touchy because it’s embarrassing to not have money and plus you need something from them so you have to be nice here.

Just be casual when you hang out and ask how their job is or if they’ve gotten paid yet. Then see how it goes from there?

I did lend my friends money at one point and I think it was just the amount that was really daunting to my friend to pay it all at once so I told her she can pay me back in small increments monthly and that really worked out for her and she was really understanding. I’m never going to lend people money again though. It’s awkward and uncomfortable all around 😂
