Hi all, basically my question is just in the title. I have passed probation in my current role, which is permanent, and I'm thinking about making a lateral move to a different agency but the new position is limited term (12 months). The position might become permanent but possibly no. In the event that it doesn't become permanent, can I execute my return rights and go back to my old agency? I know I wouldn't be guaranteed to be in the same office/program or anything, but I'd at least have a job lol.

Another question about limited term: if the term gets renewed for another 12 months but doesn't become permanent, and I stay on through that term as well (so 24 months total, as an example) can I still execute my return rights if it's not renewed again?

Hi everyone! I'm still figuring everything out here but one thing I wanted to get some clarity on is citric acid. I have hard water, so I'm looking to start including citric acid in my rinse cycle. I've seen a few people say they add dry citric acid to their softener section of the washer, and then top it with water from the tap. From a chemistry standpoint, I thought this was a nono? Acid should be added slowly to water to prevent a violent reaction, not water to acid all at once. Thoughts?? Is it better to create a citric acid/water solution separately and then add that to the softener section? Or is it really okay to add water to acid?

Hi everyone! I recently had a home sleep study after a few years of increasing issues with sleep. I'm exhausted during the day, I wake up often at night, my husband has witnessed me gasping at night occasionally.

The home sleep study stated the overall REI of 7.4/hr, and I was diagnosed with mild OSA. The lowest my SpO2 went during sleep was 92%. The report stated that they recommended a CPAP with pressure range 5.0 to 15.0 cmH2O, with a target AHI of <5/hr.

Since the goal is just to get my occurrences to less than 5 per hour, and I'm currently at 7.4 per hour, I'm conflicted on whether a CPAP would actually be beneficial. There is a note on the report though that numbers could be underrepresented.

Anyone else here with numbers like mine and had a good result with CPAP? My primary physician is open to ordering this for me, but he also referred me to the sleep specialist since I was on the fence. Thing is, the sleep specialist is booked out until late December. So I guess at this time I'm considering whether I should just tell my primary to get things going with the CPAP, and then visit the sleep specialist after a few months. Or, don't start CPAP yet until I see the sleep specialist.

Thanks for reading and for any advice or insight here!
