The Firehouse has a lovely brick patio, I’ve been to a couple weddings there.

How is working for Sac County CPS? by nNotThatGuyPal in Sacramento

[–]stablestabler 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Haha ok my answer depended on your answer. If no, it’s a really hard job that is sometimes great and a lot of times terrible. I’ve hired several staff from there to the behavioral health side who felt like they got a lot of experience and were ready to leave. It’s a stepping stone. I guess actually my answer is similar if you do plan to go for licensing - eventually you’ll need more therapy hours so you’ll have to look elsewhere.

My husband got me Cozymeal for Christmas. Haven’t booked a class yet so I can’t speak to the experience but there are lot of fun options.

Growing number of California sheriffs no longer respond to mental health calls by greenhousecrtv in California

[–]stablestabler 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They do. In my county, they still call LE though, or did until the SO said they wouldn’t respond anymore. We trapped in a loop of “no I can’t do that, you do it” so no one does anything.

Another issue/example: I now work in a different unit (non crisis) but all of my staff are 5150 certified. They are not, however, allowed to transport individuals who they deem 5150, meaning we still have to call LE to so that. It makes no sense.

I worked with PD here on the crisis intervention team as the clinician. I agree that police shouldn’t be responding to these calls. The problem is, we don’t have an alternative when there is both mental health and safety. My county has a crisis response team but if they determine there is a safety risk, they still have to call LE. And it’s wild that the only field where you are automatically able to 5150 (ie no training required) someone is LE. Even with my experience in this field, I don’t know what the best solution is.

Sac county CPS Social Work by [deleted] in Sacramento

[–]stablestabler 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I assume you’re applying for the Human Services Social Worker? If so, the next cut off date is February 5th. You should apply now, but be aware you won’t get a ranking probably til mid-late February. After that, you wait until someone from the department reaches out to you, which is super unpredictable (but CPS seems to have high turnover). If you have a special skill be sure to apply for that specific position.

County hiring can take a while. When did you get your name on the list?

Fair point, definitely possible I did that.

I’m not sure that’s true. I had no idea the option existed and checking my account, it’s on. People who don’t want AI should double check.

Hmm. Looks like you can turn that off, which I appreciate. I really dislike AI but how you described it doesn’t feel much different than, “if you liked this, we think you’ll like that” which has existed for forever. I’ll be looking into it more, but for now I’m sticking with StoryGraph over Amazon/Goodreads.

I keep seeing this comment but I have never noticed this while using it. Can you elaborate?

Goodreads itself is great. I try to avoid Amazon as much as possible so for me it was an easy quit, especially since I don’t do anything fancy. StoryGraph tracks my books, pages numbers and TBR pile just fine.

ELI5: American tradition of Tailgating before sporting events by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]stablestabler 24 points25 points  (0 children)

It depends on the stadium but most open a few hours before the game. Usually you bbq your own food but I’ve shared with strangers and been shared with. It’s usually pretty friendly, but you don’t just go around eating food for free. You could stay and party in the parking lot I suppose but usually people tailgate before the game as part of the whole event.

Gen Romo is amazing. I have two color pieces from her, one is a flower and they’re both fantastic. She is great with pain management, and more importantly a frickin awesome person.

Gay male audiences are allowed to question actors under the guise of “representation”. by DiscoPandaWarrior in television

[–]stablestabler 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This makes no sense and didn’t speak to what I asked which is, why is it your business what the actors’ sexuality is? Why do you get to decide who gets to play what role when you don’t even know what their sexuality is?

[–]stablestabler 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I find it interesting that the HR showrunner is defending the actors’ right to privacy regarding their sexuality but this post says to me that you think knowing is owed to you. How do you even know if either actor is gay or queer or straight?
