I am 4 days post injection. The pain I felt when I touched my wrist externally is gone, and the pain I feel when I move my wrist around and lift things is gone. However, I am still experiencing sharp pains directly in my tendon if I tweak my wrist too far. Is this still normal 4 days post steroid injection? My ortho said I didn’t need a splint and to use my hand like normal to my comfort level.
Hello. As the title states, I’m considering leaving my role and going into a different field. And not because of AI doom, either! I’ve been with my company over a year now as a fresh junior software dev, and I have learned a lot here, and have also learned my preferences as well.
That being said, I find myself bored constantly. Coding is cool, but it’s struggling to hold my attention and really light a fire in me. I am not passionate for programming. I feel like I’d rather do it as a hobby, like programming my own indie game as a passion project. I do C# crud applications and website design. I’ve found that I absolutely LOVE designing websites, doing front end work, accessibility compliance, intuitive design and whatnot. Makes me wonder if product design/UX engineering/etc would be a better fit for me down the line.
I actually am looking to get into a field completely different than this one, where I would travel and have varied hours, and do that for quite some time.
I guess what I’m wanting to ask is, based on what I have shared above, do you think this may be a good move for me? I’m considering working on a masters degree for HCI and down the line, seeking those roles out potentially. But for right now, I am just bored out of my skull!!
Things like a spare mask, tank banger, whistle, etc.. what is some gear that you bought or take with you just in case or gear that is helpful to have?
Like the title states, I just woke up one morning with this and it won’t go away. It’s in my dominant hand/wrist, grabbing or gripping anything hurts, bumping my wrist hurts, and I didn’t do anything to inherently injure or cause this. I have no idea why I woke up one day with this and it still hasn’t gone away. I don’t work a physical job. Does it heal on its own? Do I need to go to the doctor? I am just baffled as to how I just randomly woke up one morning with this pain. It’s affecting my daily life being that it’s on my dominant hand. I want to make it stop.
I’m doing my open water certification next weekend and my dad really wants to go with me just to watch from afar/accompany me. He won’t be diving or touching the water at all due to him recovering from surgery with his arm in a sling. He asked me if I’m okay with him coming because he wants to be there and he’s so happy that I’m doing my cert and just wants to support me. He would be out of the way, driving me there, and just wants to be present. Is this something that people do during open water, is have a friend or family member come along to support/accompany a diver? I am worried it’ll offend the instructors but I wouldn’t think it would be a big deal, because they probably have seen it before. I’m not sure if I’ll sound like a goofball asking them at my ripe age of 28 if my dad can come watch. He just really really wants to watch me get certified. What are some thoughts/opinions?
I just finished my confined pool classes and am going to take my open water course next weekend. I am curious as to how I get involved in my local dive community and go on dive trips with them.
I am from the state of Ohio and from hearing chatter between several people (Even people at different shops and who are certified with different organizations), it seems that the scuba diving world is small and locally it’s even smaller, and everyone tends to know everyone or has gone on dives with them and that it isn’t specific to a certain shop. While I know people can go on trips with their shop, I am curious how to get involved in something local that’s maybe a bit more broad and not limited to one shop.
I want to get to know and go out with divers who are local to me because I’d love a sense of community and to learn more from them.
I’m just not sure what steps to take to get involved that isn’t asking one of them “How do I join the cool kids club?” LOL. Does anyone have advice?
Hello,
I am earning my associates in Software Development and through that and my work experience I have realized that I really enjoy web design and web development. I love dealing with the visuals and optimizing user experience. I am unsure whether to do my bachelors in comp sci or UX and graphic design. I’m leaning doing Comp Sci, using my experience to pivot and also doing my masters in HCI so that I can bridge the gap between software eng and UX/UI design. Do I sound crazy or is this something that people do in the field?
I’m looking for a gym WITH a sauna (not planet fitness) around the miamisburg/centerville/springboro area. I know Everybody Fitness has a sauna but I’ve heard horror stories about them and their contracts. Who do you all recommend?
I imagine they have thousands of people who audition for this show… how do people get casted? I follow a lot of contestants and while they seem really cool, they aren’t hardcore survivalists. It seems like they cast people who enjoy an outdoor hobby or aren’t afraid to get dirty rather than casting people who are experts in bushcraft/hunting/fishing/camping. Why is this? Are they looking more for personality?
I am in silver on PC (I used to be high gold/low plat on PS) and in 99% of my matches, there is always ONE player not pulling their weight.
One DPS with a negative KD, the tank is getting melted in .2 seconds, or a healer is running in and dying trying to flank like they’re a genji.
What is the actual way to handle these scenarios? If I’m playing a healer, it’s hard to deal damage to make up for our lack of DPS because I need to heal the team to keep them from getting wiped. I’m not healbotting, but when my whole team is dying I can’t go full force battle Ana.
If I’m playing DPS, it’s hard to get kills and push as a team because I’m not getting healed enough (By that I mean staying behind the tank/not rushing in AND our JPC is in the enemy back line for example)
I have an easier time tanking because I have higher health and survivability, AND I can deal damage without having to babysit others (Like when I play healer)
How do you handle someone not pulling their weight effectively to the point it’s causing the match up with the other team to feel unbalanced?
I’m having a tough time choosing between WN and UA.
- I have to commute for both of them (Yes I’m OK with it)
- I value having no minimums and total flexibility
- UA I’d be off reserve in a couple years, WN I’d be on and off reserve for 8 or more years
- I like that UA does more international (More opportunity to pick up high time) HOWEVER I think Southwest has more flexibility to be able to travel in foreign countries longer during off time
- UA has boarding pay and sit pay
- Southwest doesn’t have carts
- UA seems more complicated to learn the job (more positions to work)
What did/would you choose between the two and why?
Essentially I thought I would enjoy this field more than I do. I originally wanted to get my bachelors in computer science and now I’m questioning it. I don’t have a huge passion for it. However, I want to get my bachelors in something that “makes sense” with software development. Does anyone know what other majors or fields use or could use this background? I enjoy front end development, web development, UX/UI, graphic design/digital design, space, aviation and biological sciences (like animals/conservation/nature etc) I’m not sure what to get my bachelors in that relates to software development and information systems.
I got to the virtual interview step in January and had to withdraw before I did the interview. If I apply again after my year cooldown will they be less likely to consider my application and have me blacklisted?
To work for any legacy/mainline, I need to commute. I refuse to move because living near family is a priority to me and I have a mortgage. That being said, I am smack in the middle of a triangle of 3 airports, two of them having multiple nonstop flights to Chicago all day long. I’m talking 3+ or more for ONE carrier, more counting all of the other airlines. Is this short of a commute really that big of a deal? If everything falls apart and goes to shit, it is a 4.5 hour drive from home, which is inconvenient but manageable if needed.
No, I don’t want to pick an airline out of any of those. My options are either regionals which pay low, Frontier which pays low, and Allegiant which never seems to hire. Unfortunately I need to go big or go home since I have a $2k mortgage to pay for. Making this my career would require being mainline.
Curious as to how the local market is for junior devs with experience. I know there are a lot of government contractors/etc so I’m just curious as to how it has generally been. Or has it been mostly senior hiring?
Please don’t comment about AI stealing jobs or any of that garbage. I’m looking for realistic ideas from people in tech in the Dayton area.
As the title says, I’m wondering if it’s relatively easy to drop your trips as a junior line holder at United and then pick up trips that you want to work each month.
When I submitted my application, I had already made a career profile and the resume and job information was filled out. I just realized the resume hasn’t been updated and I have an additional job I’ve started in the past year. Will this be an issue when a recruiter looks it over? Do I need to send them my updated resume?
I got referred to a gastro because I was getting food stuck in my esophagus so much that they stretched it and took a biopsy. They found eosinophils in the bottom 1/3 of my esophagus but said that my tissue is healthy. I was told that this is strange because it is not caused by food allergies of any sort and the doctor thinks it could be due to my GERD but even then she said it’s a bit odd to have the large amount of detectable eosinophils that I had.
Doc wants me to do a barium test (to see how my esophagus moves when I swallow and if it’s malfunctioning during movement) but said she is still suspicious of eosinophilic esophagitus.
Has anyone had a similar experience and what can I make of this? I’m puzzled as to why I’d have eosinophils only in the bottom third and no food allergies.
I’m wondering because my current boss does not take outside or random phone calls he isn’t expecting or does not know. Is this how they verify employment? Also, what if a previous employer either doesn’t answer or it’s been so long under new management that they wouldn’t know your name? My boss and upper management at a previous job all got fired or moved and nobody would even know who I am there.
I have a job that I want to stay at and work on my days off at WN. Before anyone comes for me - Yes, I know it will be hard and WN schedule will come first. Yes I know training is a month long and I’d be taking off a month.
Somebody told me on Facebook that they make you provide proof of resignation. I’m not sure if this is true because I know there’s a lot of nurses and teachers who work for WN.
I assume this rule only applies for people working for another airline? I’m wondering how true this statement was because some people said this was a rule and some people said it is not a rule as long as you can take time off at your other job to do training.
