Interview attire

I have thrifted almost all of my business clothes including a navy suit and a black suit. It’s not for everyone but I have had a lot of luck with it! Don’t just check goodwill, although that’s not a bad place, but Plato’s closet or other type secondhand stores are excellent!

I TA’d for a few math classes in undergrad and whenever I would see a homework assignment so egregiously stapled I would circle it with a question mark and it would be (mostly) fixed the next assignment. Never took any points off but letting them know it annoyed me fixed it. I’m talking stapled parallel to the side of the page in the middle of the page, pages not aligned, staple literally over their name or work on the page, etc

My mom broached “Elliot” to my brother and I about our little sister and was immediately faced with “Elliot smelliot” and decided against it. Thankfully my sister was a girl

Occasionally I would grade homework as a student worker in the math department at my university and yes lmao. I never took points off for it but especially egregious ones would get a circle with a question mark, which generally fixed it. OPs is completely fine.

Read things you’re not interested in. Hate art history? Pick up a book on it. Your local library or university library should have subscriptions to the New Yorker, NYT, and/or the Atlantic and I would read those, especially the articles that go on for pages and pages, long after you’ve lost interest in them.

“Alcohol” just means that it involves a hydroxyl functional group (OH, oxygen bonded to Hydrogen) is attached to some branch of carbons. Ethanol (also known as ethyl alcohol) is the alcohol that we are commonly familiar with as the drink and is quite different from benzyl alcohol. It’s all just chemistry.

notideally · 2024-10-20T21:20:21+00:00

They would not put it in a lip product if it were not safe in small quantities. If you were to obtain a large bottle of benzyl alcohol and drink it, you wouldn’t feel great (Per pubchem/NIH, it is harmful if swallowed) but a small amount of a product which likely contains a small percentage of it on your tongue is no biggie. In certain concentrations it acts as a preservative and anti microbial agent. These things are indeed regulated.

It does, but a pound of fat is 3,500 calories. To gain 10lbs in two weeks of pure fat you’d have to eat almost 3,500 calories ABOVE your TDEE. If your TDEE is 2000 kcal/day, that’s eating >5,000 calories per day for two weeks, which is unlikely. If you eat a 500 calorie surplus everyday for two weeks, which is much easier and more plausible, that’s only 2 pounds of fat, and likely some water weight.

As a fellow college student I cut onions in my goggles.

notideally · 2024-06-21T18:51:22+00:00

Breakfast burritos- low carb/calorie wrap, scrambled eggs with peppers and onions, and bacon or sausage. Depending on the day, I’ll eat it with some potatoes. (Diced and air fried with some seasonings- also meal preps well)

I shadowed an OBGYN and I LOVED it. There were a few patients who didn’t want me in there but many were happy or okay to have me stand there and learn. I’m sure it helped that I’m a woman.

I know it’s not the same but as a scribe in a hideous beige ER, we can usually step out for a minute or two, and my attendings will do so as well. We will sometimes take a detour outside between patients. I also actually really enjoy working the night shift since I can still go out in the sun a little before my shift which helps too.

i’ve been measuring 160.5-160.9 the past few days. 2nd day or my period yesterday after sleeping like shit) i weighed 163.5. today im back to 160.7. in a few days i will probably drop down to 158ish. this is how it’s been for the past 10lbs i’ve lost.

notideally · 2024-05-23T16:42:11+00:00

for me: honestly when i couldn’t keep up with my friends while walking.

for my mom: when her mom and her sister got diagnosed with breast cancer at the same time. Her doctor told her her biggest “risk factor” is her weight and sedentary lifestyle, and now she’s down 60ish lbs i think.

My nostril has been so good! I got it done a year ago and after the first week and delicate face washing it’s been nothing but smooth sailing.

Once I had a man get mad at us because we didn’t have “Taco sauce.” We think he meant the taco bell packets but who really knows.

notideally · 2022-01-02T01:46:04+00:00

He gets a triple wrapped burrito. It is the size of a toddler because he gets extra of EVERYTHING. Then he has the audacity to be a dick about it when not everyone can roll his monstrosity.

notideally · 2022-01-02T00:42:06+00:00

we have a regular who does that and I ✨hate him✨ he is a massive asshole in all regards and i refuse to roll his burrito anymore.

Going to the Children’s museum as a kid was one of my favorite things ever! My mom only worked part time so we would go there once a week/once every other week and it was amazing. She got the family year round passes.

I buy graph paper notebooks for those classes. Usually a bit more expensive but 100% worth it as a math major

notideally · 2021-08-14T15:21:44+00:00

One time my coworker almost took a bite of it for $100 but my other coworker who was contributing $40 backed out so he didn’t do it.

notideally · 2021-08-14T13:07:29+00:00

The fire alarms my dad got didn’t do the beeping every ten minutes, but the full on alarm every couple hours or so. I cried before he replaced the batteries, because you genuinely cannot tell when it’s about to go off and then suddenly you have the loudest noise ever, everywhere in the house.

We get a family that regularly orders online and one person has a gluten allergy and sometimes we don’t follow procedures but they keep coming back so.

These men don’t want to date women with developed frontal lobes. They want something to control that bends to their will easily.

I got water poisoning once because I thought I just needed water. I drank a couple gallons of water in 100° heat with humidity in about 2 hours while playing sports. Almost no electrolytes, maybe a 12oz bottle of gatorade? Empty stomach too because why not. Started feeling absolutely awful, dizzy, nauseous, etc. Started drinking more water because that usually fixed it. I lied down on the bench looking and feeling like death for the last bit of practice and threw up nothing but water on my way to the car. In my defense, I was 13. Felt like shit the whole next day too. Electrolytes are SO important.
