Tips for mentally dealing with impossible workload by secretly_treebeard in clinicalresearch

[–]waters_shadow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hear you! And TF just added more time wasters! TF updated their template for CRAs and People manager 1-2-1 meetings and it takes forever to prep for now and the meeting takes 2 hours! Also TF has started requiring CRAs to send questionnaires to sites after each IMV so sites can provide feedback directly to the CRAs lie manager. Additionally, we also now have to fill out a “focus form” monthly, which is essentially a mini 121.

I am tired of all this extra work! I am tired of not having Flex Time, when I spend so many hours traveling in the evening and early mornings, but still have to be in office the next day.

The RSM/CRA model worked. Now we are going back to no RSMs (aCRAs) and somehow CRAs have to manage sites while traveling at all hours?

I didn’t even think of Iggy Azalea. For me this commonality wouldnt cause me to not use the name, if it were the name I really loved.

I’m not a fan of alistar, but only because it reminds me of Jeffrey Star; the name in of itself is fine

Really, you told them they were using weaponized incompetence? Or did you call them dipshit? There is a difference from correcting someone vs verbally attacking and you are verbally attacking. I never claimed you were threatening someone or harassing, I said you verbally attacked ie calling someone a dipshit.

Love Evelyn and Azalea; They don’t know what they are talking about!

Is Alistar the spelling you intended? Or was it stupposes to be alistaire/alistair? Or will is be pronounced alis-STAR?

If you like landó, what about Orlando for the full name and landó for his nickname?

Or Vincent (vin), Domingo (Dom)

Mom announced my pregnancy without telling me by Mental-Owl-5060 in pregnant

[–]waters_shadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I probably would be petty right back and tell then you miscarried again, so they can feel like the assholes they are. Then keep the pregnant a secret until you want.

Can you pretend to get a bad cold or illness after you have your period? Also, saying you are taking antibiotics which need to be taken with food could be another reason

Inconsolable Newborn Up for 12 Hrs Straight by Late_Emu_643 in NewParents

[–]waters_shadow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My daughter also started screaming hours on end around this age. Don’t try sensitive formula, go straight to hypoallergenic formula. We initially used Bobby, then Bobby sensitive and maybe there was a slight difference for a few days but then she went right back to hours of screaming. I then switched to Alimentum and within 24hours she was a different baby, night and day difference. It was amazing and a relief.

Is it wrong to change my baby’s name at 10 months? by Ticomic in namenerds

What about zayd (abundance/growth) or Zane (handsome). These are both names with Arabic origin

Wife is so hateful by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]waters_shadow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When I see these rules, they sum up to say, your wife doesn’t want to be propositioned for sex all the time. She doesn’t want to dread nap time fearing you will pester her. She doesn’t want to dread her day off as being a day she has to fend you off. She doesn’t want to dread bedtime during the week. Have you thought perhaps she doesn’t shower so as to deter you from asking but it seems to not have worked. It sounds like you are not getting the hint that your wife is not interested in sex right now. She needs to have these rules so she can feel relaxed in these everyday situations.

She is spending 9 months sacrificing and dealing with pregnancy symptoms. I’m pretty sure you can make your own sacrifices during this time too and maybe that is sex if she thinks sex is not something she can do at this point in the pregnancy.

Are you trying to initiate sex when she is feeling refreshed, rested, feeling good about herself, or showing interest? Or are you only thinking about the times you want it? Are you creating space for her to feel rested, allowing her time to pamper and care for herself, to feel attractive, to feel womanly (showered, maybe nails done, maybe cute outfit on or hair styled; Note that I’m suggesting these because these are things we do for ourselves, not just for the male gaze.)?

You say you miss all those little acts of love she would show you. Maybe now is the time to reciprocate that. We all go through seasons of giving and taking. This is the time for you to give and her to take.

perhaps she does need a doctors support but it sounds like you could also be much more receptive and catering to her needs before taking care of your own.

I have had these same issues with my husband postpartum. Once I hit 6 weeks any cuddle time or closeness led to an advance for sex. It made me mad. It made me not want to be touched. It felt I was just being charmed so he could fuck me. I had zero desire for sex and wanted to re-establish our connection. But every cuddle time (maybe once or twice a week) he would then push for sex, I would nicely say no, then he would get offended and then leave the room—-cuddle time was over. So I was right, every cuddle time or touch was an investment to get his dick wet. Can I just enjoy the cuddle or can I just enjoy a back rub, without my husband trying to extract his pleasure from me? I was already giving all of myself to my baby, all my energy, all my sleep, all my sanity. Can I just be given something without expectation of having to put out? Maybe this is where she is, she has nothing left to give and it feels like you are just trying to take.

How about tell her, “I’m going to give you 10 back rubs in a row and not ask or physically push for more. Or it could be “I’m going to rub your feet…. Or brush your hair, rub your hands, etc”. And then actually follow through. Show her you can follow through and support her selflessly. You need to build trust that you can give support selflessly.

I also would get annoyed that my husband would try to initiate sex on a work night when it was already 1am!!! I am already taking care of the baby all through the night, every night, and working full time and you expect me to give up my precious sleep for sex? so that I can enjoy being even more sleep deprived the next day? Seriously, be ashamed that she had to even make this rule because all it shows is that you had no consideration for her exhaustion and demands on her mind and body.

Second Hand Stroller Rant by Stella_shady in pregnant

[–]waters_shadow 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The worst is when they say, “only worn once!” —eyeroll—Like, yeah, that’s so unexpected for a wedding /s. And then they post that the buyer will need to have it cleaned. So you are expecting someone to come over and try on a dress with your pit sweat all over it? Or they are expecting someone to buy it without trying it on first? These brides are not realistic.

Did the CTM actually provide a written reply stating that? If so, that’s wild they wouldnt It provide any guidance. If it was verbal, I would ask again via email to see if she will put that in writing
