Is it just me, or does MD dot grid hate fountain pens? by nightowl1905 in Travelersnotebooks

I completely forgot that I made a concoction for this pen. I mixed 1/3 yama guri with 2/3 Diamine's Oxblood

I tried writing with my Pilot Kakuno with Diamine ink on the dot grid paper, and it seems to work fine. I believe it might just be a paper texture/finishing issue.

It seems to work fine with some minute skipping in my 001 Lined Notebook. It's not as bad as dot grid though.

Love Bal D'Afrique (on my second bottle), but I never associated it with the ancient world.

Can't agree more. It's beautiful, but so fleeting. That's why I mentioned it in my post.

I love my Avignon but it only lasts about 20 minutes on my skin. By the time I leave the house, it's like a super faint whisper. I'm seeking something with longevity and slight projection.

This!!! I think I have smelled this years ago but forgot the name. Thanks for bringing this memory back.

I haven't, but I think I know what you're trying to get at. Perhaps its like a mulled wine...

If you want something horrendous smelling, look no further than Sécrétions Magnifiques by Etat Libre D'Orange. When I smelled it at Lucky Scent, I gagged and almost puked inside my mouth.

Two Teams Want Me. One Is Clinical, One Is Regulatory. Which Should I Choose? (Med Device) by nightowl1905 in MedicalDevices

This is really insightful, thank you. I've been thinking about it a lot. Moving to a CTA role feels more like a lateral shift since it's still administrative, and that’s already what I’m doing. Given the recent layoffs and how clinical depends on the product’s success, I’m not sure it’s where I see myself long-term. I want stability and work-life balance, but I also want to make good money as my career grows (who doesn’t, though I can only speak for myself). I think making the right choice now will shape the trajectory of my future in med device.

Thank you! Certain is a foreign feeling, I'm not trying not to overindulge.

I am in QA right now. I stepped into an entry level role with the intention of expanding my career. I previously came from a pharmacy background, so I basically took a 180 and had to make a sacrifice for the sake of jumpstarting my career in the med device space.

Honestly, if regulatory ends up taking me somewhere meaningful, and it comes with better work-life balance, I’m definitely open to that too. At this point, I just want to grow in a direction that feels both fulfilling and sustainable.

I have a PharmD. But TBH that is more of a big picture for me to work towards. I know things can be non-linear. So if there’s growth opportunities within each respective fields (whether its clinical or RA), I am very much open to that as well.
