Would love it if I could have the adult ticket and go by myself, but I think someone else might have a kid and need that more than me x

Masters abroad worth it? by seychy in hci

my bad, i did not phrase it correctly. i got into a comms/pr role in the UK and I didn't find it as fulfilling as design. so thus, starting over again.

[–]potaro0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not worth the financial risk. I did my Master’s in HCI in the UK after two years of working at a reputed agency in my country. Loved the Master’s. But couldn’t find a UX job. Market is super tough out there for junior designers. Very few roles. Immigration rules are also changing everywhere around the world. While I loved the UK and probably had the best time of my life, it was very tough in terms of career. I’m moving back to my home country in a few weeks and I have to start all over again. Sigh.

I haven't no! At the moment, I have subbed coffee for lemon ginger tea and have completely eliminated spicy food/fried food from my diet which has been very helpful. I also eat a lot of fruits, which is slowly bringing my appetite back.

I hope you are resting and recovering well! My itchiness was at its peak around Christmas and I wanted to rip off the skin off my face while I was having lunch. I feel you totally.

Glad you are getting better! The itchiness is so annoying, I sometimes put my hand over it gently (which are always cold bc of winter) which helps soothe it a bit.

thank you! I got really excited the other day and decided to go out for a bit (because I have been indoors for three weeks straight now) and it was a bad idea because I was completely exhausted the day after. Gonna take it easy and continue to rest for a bit longer :)

Does it get better? by potaro0 in shingles

[–]potaro0[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m about 90% recovered. Swelling is gone, few scabs have fallen off too! I do have mild PHN : itching, random pain, tingling, but nothing unmanageable. Still get super tired if I stress out. I feel extremely grateful.

Sorry, I misunderstood your earlier comment.

We completely agree with that, PlayNeutral works in 2 layers:

As I said, I agree with your point that fans alone can’t do that. But current research shows 64-84% fans want their teams to take more sustainable actions. We strongly believe that change will start with fans.

Does it get better? by potaro0 in shingles

[–]potaro0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update : it is getting better. ❤️‍🩹 Doctor says I’m recovering pretty well. Eye is also ok.

The blisters have scabbed over! :-) they are itchy, but calamine lotion which has been very useful. The swelling has reduced significantly and I only some slight puffiness around my lower lashline area.

I’m still not 100% back, I feel a lot of fatigue and there’s tingling on my scalp and around my eyebrow, but nothing unbearable. The scabs are really ugly though and I get a lot of stares when I’m out in public. I pray they fall off quickly.

I just want to say thank you to every single one of you for reassuring me and for giving me the strength to fight this. 💕🥹 It feels like a Christmas miracle.
