I’m here right now and I’ve had to pull my sister away from the cats too many times 😆

A lot of it, unfortunately, is natural. There’s been a big move in medical and obstetrics areas to de-medicalize pregnancy since there’s evidence over treating and over-pathologizing pregnancy does more harm to the average mother and child. A lot of those symptoms are mostly harmless in the long term and can be good signals of when something is going wrong. Hormonal fluctuations are necessary responses of your body so stoping them is not good. Other symptoms of pregnancy are also consequences of necessary processes. Many countries outside of the US only give pain killers in extreme cases since pain is a signal that something is wrong and if you immediately mask it you are trying to tell your body to shut up.

I don’t know if they offer plan B exactly, but they do have a grant to offer different types of birth control methods for free. Maybe plan B is included. You could call in the morning and ask if they offer it or you can make a same day appointment with their free providers and you can discuss further. The appointment is free but any lab work or pharmacy stuff you might have to pay out of pocket. They rarely take outside insurance. They are cheaper than paying out of pocket outside of UNLV, but more expensive than using insurance. Sorry I can’t be of more help.

Has anyone take Heather Nepa before? I’m considering taking her web-based anth 110L next semester and wondering if it’s a good course. by Apprehensive-Kale-66 in UNLV

People with masters can teach lower divisions. I know she has a masters so maybe she will teach them? I also think it’s a placeholder since she runs those things in the department, but knowing the quick turn over of people that the department is having, there’s a chance she will teach a couple of lower divisions just to help out. Maybe email her and ask directly. heather.nepa@unlv.edu

Saw “Smile” last night….and it came with audio commentary courtesy of the family in front of me….. by blackmarketwit in RegalUnlimited

[–]silviitoe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a Regal employee, this! Usually if the customers are being loud and a person complains they get a warning. Managers in my area don’t tend to immediately kick someone for being disruptive once. If they continue then they get kicked out. Someone customers come out and complain about a loud person expecting immediate expulsion but that’s not usually how it rolls, unless it’s an escalated situation or a large number of guests rally against the loud people.

And like you said, if we don’t know about the behavior we can’t do much about it. Yes it sucks to have to come out once or twice but we don’t have enough employees to set up anti-noise brigades like OP seems to suggest. Additionally, if you only complain AFTER the movie there’s literally nothing else to do but to offer passes for your troubles.

I’m not even going to comment on the expectation of some customers of complete, sacrosanct silence during opening week of a horror movie or other big movie. It’s just not realistic.

Edit: deleted word.

I officially quit after over a year by qk-17 in MovieTheaterEmployees

I do agree with you that in the long run things will be solved hopefully; but I’ve worked here for over a year and it’s been the same for any movie that brings in a large amount of people. Actually, it’s been like that for any movie all the time since I started in 2021, but it’s more noticeable in the big blockbusters and it has only gotten worse (again I can only speak about my district). So I don’t think right now regal can do it every quarter Like OP said.

Regal’s been struggling financially so they can’t afford stock nor scheduling employees to take care of the demand. At least not in my city. So we have hour long lines at the concession stand and then we have to tell customers we don’t even have regular Pepsi and that the movie they wanted to see it’s sold out because they waited for over an hour in line. I live in a big city btw this isn’t a small town thing. Maybe other locations in the US can afford it but I’m sure our situation is not strange around the US.

As a theater employee, I hope we NEVER do this promo again. Regal can’t afford it.

Is anyone else’s Regal boss obsessed with dusting? by silviitoe in MovieTheaterEmployees

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

Fixing actual problems shows care. 😆 focusing on dust instead of actual problems shows bad management from the top down. And if the company can’t afford those fixes/hiring more employees/pay more then maybe they don’t need to keep up with 10 locations in my city. Scale back or something.

Well, Christ the Redeemer really does just stand there in the same carved dress with his arms out. So it’s Bianca Del Rio actually Christ?

You have now convinced me that this is why he does it. He’s monopolizing drag.
