If this was you I’m so sorry

I spoke with an ophthalmology specialist clinic today regarding a patient/client we referred.

We did not know she was going to call your clinic and verbally assault your staff. We did not know that she was kicked out of your clinic in 2018 for the same issue. We did NOT tell her that she was guaranteed anything, appointment, cost, or otherwise. She was very pleasant at her appointment with us today so I really don’t know what happened but I’m so sorry and I hope your day got better.

We will not refer them to you again 😐 I made sure to add client alerts

Thx for listening to my mini story time.

First monstera

Hello! This is my very first monstera I picked up for $5 from a local marketplace seller. It appears to be in good health (but I have no reference lol) and that leaf actually unfurled since taking the photo a couple days ago.

Literally any and all advice would be so appreciated. I’m mostly just unsure about support..? I’ve never provided support for any of my plants before and have no idea where to begin, but it seems to hold itself up very well?

I’ll never not bank with Chase

I’m as anti big banking as one could get. But when I was 16, I opened my first checking account at my local Chase bank with my dad after my mom kicked me out of her house.

Since then, I’ve been hit with a few hard times. Back in 2020 I had just graduated from cosmetology school, and COVID wreaked havoc on my finances. Chase Bank allowed me to reverse overdraft charges when I really need it. For food. For gas. For medications.

Most recently, I lost my job back in February due to chronic health issues. My account has never been sadder, and I was wracked with overdraft fees. I just started at my new job 3 weeks ago and my classes for school start next week. Im getting back on my feet, but I couldn’t afford groceries for the next two weeks and my fridge is empty.

I called Chase. I asked if there was any possible way they could reverse my most recent overdraft fee for $34. The agent looked at my account and noticed the obscene amount of charges but then he did something I wasn’t expecting. He asked me why. This seems like such a small question, but really it’s an opportunity for you as an individual to be heard by another individual.

I explained what’s happened (BRIEFLY, I’m not yapping this poor man’s ear off) and he reversed a large amount of fee’s totaling over $500 and going back since February.

That $500 just put food in my fridge and notebooks in my hand for my first semester of my STEM degree. It’s still fuck big banks, but I’ll always put my money into Chase. I’m actually crying right now

Good Enough????

For context, I start classes next week and my crusty old macbook decided that it no longer wanted to exist on this earth anymore. I’m BROKE and used my last $360 to my name to buy this thing.

I just need it to make it through a couple semesters of Basic coursework, Algebra, poli sci, English lit.

I read reviews and got scared. Will this not work at all, or can I limp by for a bit until I can get a MacBook Neo??

Thoughts on Decorating Work Lockers?

I’ve worked at a few different clinics in various settings. Non profit, corporate owned and small family owned. But NONE of them had lockers.

I just started at a new clinic a few weeks ago and they do have assigned lockers!!! It’s an 8 doctor general practice with two of them being co-owners. It’s very successful, and they’ve acquired two other clinics in the surrounding areas. I don’t know if I’d say it has a “family owned” practice vibe, since it’s a very large staff count but it’s CERTAINLY not the hellscape that is and was corporate veterinary medicine.

It’s only been two weeks for me, and I’ve noticed others with stickers and decorations on the outside of their lockers but I haven’t scoped out what people are doing inside their lockers.. cause that seems weird asf lol. What I wanna know is, how much is too much when it comes to accessorizing/decorating/organizing the INSIDE of your work locker?

Basically, how much locker utilization is considered unprofessional? Is there such a thing? If you have a fun locker I’d love to see

4 days apart

Pictures taken a few days apart after watering.. plz help me. I did end up taking her out of the larger pot in the first image (what she was in when I bought her) and realized that the seller put this plant in WAY too big of a pot. Needless to say, I could literally squeeze a teacup of water out of all that excess soil. I downsized to a little 2” round yesterday, and put it in my chunky soil mix (Rosy Houseplant Mix, perlite, orchid bard).

Also worth noting, when I watered this plant initially I was using a diluted fertilizer at about %50 because it seemed healthy. I fertilized tons of other plants the same day and they’re all doing great.

Does it have any hope of recovery???

Tested Positive for Marinol

I was offered a new job and had to take a pre employment drug screening test. Weed is legal in my state and my future employer did tell me that they don’t check for marijuana.

I got the results back, and obviously tested positive for marijuana but was surprised to test positive for Marinol? After a Google search it seems that this is a manmade form of THC but that it’s prescription required and only comes in pill form. This is confusing because I only ever smoke or vape.

Does anyone know about this specific compound? Will it ruin my chance of employment??

The vsop I bought vs the one I have 2 months in..

Bought this 2 inch variegated string of pearls online a couple months ago. Absolutely beautiful out of the shipping box, and I was super excited!!

We’ve had some accidents. As in, I dropped her from a high shelf and she was absolutely mangled. Initially I left everything in the pot hoping it would root again but a good portion of it died off. I moved her to a round 2inch nursery pot with a very chunky soil mix, and I’m seeing some new pearls finally!!!

Any advice on how to keep her going? I was planning on fertilizing some of my plants in a few days and wanted to add her to the bucket to see if I can encourage more growth, but I’m worried that she’s too tiny? Is that a thing? Can they be too small for fertilizer in the summer?

Currently on a 12h light cycle and watering a few days after I notice the soil is dry again.

Crying for no reason??

Does anyone else have days where they’re just inexplicably so sad. Not the normal emptiness feeling, but a genuine deep feeling of sadness even though there’s no logical reason. To the point where I’ll cry for up to an hour at times when I’m alone.

It makes it impossible to talk myself down, because there’s no actual problem that I can try to solve my way out of. I just end up cycling through all the things in my life I hate and I’m just so fucking gut wrenchingly sad. I’m on two anti depressants, I smoke weed for anxiety, and I never drink or do any other substances. I feel like I’m going crazy and I just want to know that I’m not alone, and I’m not insane, and that maybe this too shall pass or whatever. Please.

My first plant corner

Maybe some of you saw one of my previous posts after I impulse bought 6 plants online at the end of May, without ever having owned a plant in my life.

Here we are in July, I have 13 plants and a space dedicated for them. Among some other odds and ends stored on the shelves.. This is my very first plant corner with & without the grow lights on during the evening in my home.

Please let me know if you have any idea for plant arrangement (I just set everything up with the lights so it’ll be an adjustment I’m sure) and please share some of your favorite plants to keep, as well as your dedicated plant spaces!!

(Ignore the bouquet of dead flowers. They’re sentimental to me so I won’t get rid of them, but I’ll probably move them to the left side of the top shelf instead)

Heat Exhaustion

I’m 26F on two SSRI’s known to cause heat intolerance. I’m also very overweight but have been actively losing it and I’m generally more active now than ever. I’m in the Midwest and the feels like temps soared to over 110F where I live and I have no AC. I started feeling sick on Tuesday, excessive sweating that I couldn’t get under control, rapid pulse, heavy breathing, vomiting, nausea, muscle cramps, and was having difficulty speaking in full sentences while on the phone trying to explain my symptoms to a friend. I’ve had two panic attacks since. One when the heat in my house caused the wood to swell and locked me inside of my bedroom (I had to kick the door in) and the other was last night I just simply just heat related.

I made it to my dad’s house and have been camped out in the AC since yesterday but I can’t shake the nausea or this intense feeling of absolute dread.

Has anyone else had the same issues? Or is maybe dealing with something similar? I’m very scared

My first pothos!

Just brought home a Satin Pothos I found on marketplace for $4. This is my first pothos plant ever, and I’m still a beginner plant parent. Does anyone have any pothos specific advice beyond just general plant care?

Thank you! Hope you love her as much as I do!

What are we watering with??

I’m brand new to plants in general but I have a curly spider plant that I’ve had for two weeks now. Some of these tips were brown when I brought her home so I’ve been using distilled water from the grocery store. Ideally I don’t wanna have to buy gallons of water to keep watering this plant… what do I do?? Are there any alternatives? Am I doomed to the plastic hellscape that is packaged water? Please help!
