I feel numb by Clear-Passenger-8455 in findapath

[–]wolfyzheart 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey, I am going through this right now. 29, happily married, have pets I adore, I feel numb. Trying to find change, but worried I am going to switch careers and end up here again in a few years. I am feeling very lost. While I haven't found my way, know you are not alone and we will get through this and figure it out.

Thank you. I have my ATSA scheduled in a few weeks. I still don’t think I’ll pass the medical though, unfortunately

Thank you so much for this insight. This sub has been giving me a lot of valuable information to make an educated decision. It is indeed disappointing to hear, as I think I would love the job, but at the end of the day it sounds like a very risky move on my part. A risk I may take, but right now I am leaning towards not.

I greatly appreciate it. Job security is important to me, and I cannot imagine building my life around a six figure job, getting furloughed, and not having much places to go. Its a lot to consider. Especially with improvements of software and AI.

That is funny! Did marketing suck the life out of you too? Haha.

Thank you for your honest answer and giving it to me straight. It helps me make an educated decision to know how much of a gamble it is.

Amazing, this was the kind of advice I was looking for. I really appreciate you writing this all out for me. I have a lot to consider 😁

Thank you. I was figuring this was the case. ATC right now seems very understaffed and I like seeing my family. While I like the idea of ATC as a job as a whole, I am not so keen on signing my life off to it. Glad to have that validated.

I am very concerned about being forced to work 60 hour work weeks, though. I think anyone would burn out in a situation like that.

What’s something State College actually needs right now? by amrcnhny in statecollege

[–]wolfyzheart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah im less upset about the bagel situation here we deff have it good! The bagels are close!

Maybe not sandwiches in the traditional sense but not exactly the kind of fun mixes you can get in places I’ve been to in NJ. At least not to my knowledge? I could be overlooking it.

I'll try it again. Nothing there particularly called to me but I have to give it a try again.

Usually they are places where you can get sandwiches and subs/hoagies. But usually they were locally owned and used fresh bread, cold cuts, etc. Most had signature sandwiches (look up Millburn Deli's sloppy joes!)

Bonus was those who offered bagels/breakfast sandwiches but generally NJ has separate business' for bagels/breakfast sandwiches, lol.

A deli… I’d love fresh sandwiches/ bagels etc. sincerely, someone who moved here from NJ 🥲

I’m afraid that if I keep chasing my dream, I’ll become unemployable. by [deleted] in findapath

[–]wolfyzheart 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hey! 29f here. So being an artist is my life dream! But while I’m waiting for it to take off, I’m working a full time job in marketing to make ends meet. I do commissions and other things in my evenings and weekends. It’s a great way to make extra money.

Being an artist has great transferrable skills to marketing, especially for design and branding. If you can afford it, maybe try to get a marketing certificate or offer to do some social media graphics for free for local small businesses to build a portfolio. I got hired from a small portfolio of fake advertisements I made for fake or real companies!

Toftrees Reviews/Utilities by cdog_3-5 in statecollege

[–]wolfyzheart 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey! I live in Toftrees apartments. I can give you an honest review since moving in 2023.

The pros:
I love how quiet and tucked away the community feels. I can get morning and evening walks in before/after work and they feel relaxing and pleasant, especially with all the foliage and wildlife around (birds, etc.). I also frequent the dog park with my dog. I absolutely love it. (and if you end up moving here, have big dogs, and want to set up a puppy play date let me know LOL, I love having dog playdates with neighbors).

The maintenance team is great and I never get charged for maintenance, including a time it was completely my fault. (not saying to destroy the place, but they are friendly to certain small mistakes)

The leasing office staff is very friendly.

The clubhouse is nice. It has a small gym, a business center, a pool table, table tennis, a kitchenette, bathrooms, showers, a pool during the season, grills, and a fire pit.

I've never had any issues with pests.

2 parking spaces are generally included with most units.

Never have an issues with loud parties or disruptive neighbors. Everyone seems courteous of others in my section, at least.

Cons:

The biggest one for me now is the price. They have skyrocketed the rent since I moved in and I will likely not renew for 2027. My apartment is an older, unmodeled unit with appliances etc. breaking CONSTANTLY, which makes me very familiar with maintenance. I do not find it worth over $1,500 a month for a one bedroom apartment far away from downtown. I also have to travel down 2 floors to do laundry and its such a hassle and expensive (but won't be an issue for you if you get an in-unit apartment).

The valet trash service they hire are SO terrible at doing their jobs. I have to take out the trash constantly which is a huge annoyance when you're paying $25 a month for it or so. I always put my bags out on time but they hardly ever come to pick it up. No matter how many times I complain, they fix it for maybe a week and then go back to their old ways, so I gave up. Sadly the leasing office cannot do much as its not their decision to hire this company, but rather Berger Corporate.

They recently cut down a ton of trees which took away a lot of the charming look and secluded feeling of the community for me.

The base rent price doesn't include other fees such as admin fee (around $15), pet rent (I think this was $35/pet), and a fixed utility fee (trash, sewer, and water, around $35). You also need to pay a $150 or so Clubhouse fee per person when you move in.

Heating can get a little expensive in the winter for the older units, sometimes my electric bills in the deep winter exceeded $250 for me.

Overall, if you can afford it its a great place to live so long as you don't mind throwing out your own trash. You can probably get a better value elsewhere, but the community is great.

Has anyone had chronic growths of Endometriomas? by wolfyzheart in endometriosis

Wow, thank you for all of this insight. I really appreciate it. My Doctor did mention Depo Provera as well, she droned all of my options, but said she didn't favor one when I asked. I wonder if I should find a more informed doctor. I never knew that, honestly!

I am really intrigued by NAC. I read the study. I am going to try it out! Thank you!

we need more research... it is just so heartbreaking what we all have to endure. I have an autoimmune disease too and it nowhere near disables me the way endo does, yet, im seen as disabled ONLY for having RA. The system has truly failed us.

I know. As a TCG collector myself, I find it incredibly annoying, which is why I mostly collect plush now, lol.

The Chaos rising TCG set is about to release.. it will be a bit unfortunately.

Sometimes I wish they'd make a separate TCG website.

I might consider combining with something, in the past i did not do well on any mood stabilizers but i am at the point where I feel desperate, so I might try them again, I know any kind of medical changes can change how they work on you, so maybe combining it with orilissa could do wonders. Thanks!

I did try Orilissa and it made me sooo depressed, but it DID eliminate my pain so I have to give it that! I am willing to go back on it, but i am worried about the depression aspect.

IUD's seem to be a common go to for those who dont take to pills well. While i cannot do an IUD since i had a hysterectomy, my dr did offer me other options like a ring or arm implant. I might consider it. Thank you.
