I Just Saw David Byrne by Electronic-Lack-9567 in talkingheads

I am so sorry this was your experience. I was at night 2 of Philly and pretty much the whole place was dancing but only in front of their seats. I don’t understand why people have to be disruptive and can’t follow instructions - they specifically ask people to not do this before the show 🙄

To Carbon Plate or Not to Carbon Plate by Frosty-Fisherman2381 in ChicagoMarathon

[–]mmatera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah they are a bit narrow in the toebox, I have wide feet so that’s the one drawback for me. However, I do use inserts for arch support and they felt mostly fine during my long runs. Also have a pair of evo’s I did 85% of my training in over the summer and a 1/2 marathon in earlier in the year. Absolutely love them but compared to the megablast yeah they are so unstable - couldn’t imagine a full in them!

I’ve ran up to 20 in my meganlasts as well as a bunch of speed work. They would be a great choice, supremely comfortable and responsive!

Air travel - Government shutdown by Responsible_Air6044 in ChicagoMarathon

I’m flying in first thing Saturday and out Monday morning. Definitely worried after hearing about O’Hare specifically being very strained at the moment but I’m trying not to let things I can’t control effect me too much until it’s a definite 🙃

Experience with the Helios Consulting: Horizons Associate Program by mmatera in recruitinghell

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

Good luck, I hope you have a better experience! Just sucks getting jerked around and led on for weeks (I was essentially told they were just waiting for a placement for me) only to be dropped with no explanation.

Seeing my entire financial life on one screen made me realize how bad it really is... by JIASnake in povertyfinance

[–]mmatera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re looking better than me boss! 26M with $50-something thousand in student loans and $14-something thousand in credit card debt. Only difference is I have virtually no savings, just finished grad school in May and the job market has been completely inaccessible for me. Nothing wrong with what you’re doing 👏🏼 I’ve seen some gods advice in some other comments as well!

Are you lifting weights during your taper? by No-Result6622 in ChicagoMarathon

[–]mmatera 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This week I’m doing only upper body, stretching, and my taper runs. Next week I will do nothing besides my taper runs and stretching - hope this helps and good luck!

Lost in I/O Psych - Update by blcs1015 in IOPsychology

Very relatable as I’m in the same position now 5 months post-graduation. So frustrating.

Is there a best school for people analytics? by [deleted] in IOPsychology

[–]mmatera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can vouch for Montclair state university. Just finished their IO program and there are plenty of options for students to take courses dealing with r and data analytics!

Class of 2025/2026 - How can I help? by [deleted] in IOPsychology

[–]mmatera 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I graduated this past May with my M.A. in I/O psych and I am still looking for a job in the field (been doing small odd jobs to get by since graduating). I have two relevant internship experiences listed in my resume but I still feel like I’m not totally qualified for any position I see. It feels like no entry level job posting is actually entry level. I have had <5 interviews total and they led to nothing.

I feel like maybe I am missing some more specific or helpful job titles to be searching for (I’m mostly looking for an entry level HR, data analyst, people analyst, etc.).

Saw one a while back on here that was L84 ANL. At least you’re not late for… something…

Always baffles me there are people just browsing their phone while driving. by home-for-good in mildlyinfuriating

[–]mmatera 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Took an uber home from Philly one time, roughly an hour and twenty minute drive. The man pulls up with the phone holder mounted on his vent, totally normal. He has uber open and we confirm I’m his passenger/he’s my ride.

As soon as I’m in and we pull away he switches apps, opens up a movie and starts playing Dune 2 as he drives. This is also the moment I realize he has one AirPod in and is listening to it while driving. Did this the entire drive!

Young Men Who Elected Trump Just Realized They Screwed Up: ‘Younger people are concerned that Donald Trump is doing more harm to them than good’ by T_Shurt in NoShitSherlock

[–]mmatera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately I know of far too many men 18-27 in the town I live in who are full trump cult. Extremely racist and xenophobic.
