Hi! Elevator. :-)

I agree, if this goes away I’d prefer to see the reddit forum take over. It’s the most similar to this format — Twitter is way too different, that just feels like everybody shouting into the void.

I could eat Evol’s fire-grilled steak bowl every single day. Some weeks, I do.

My company uses a third-party service to run our background and drug screening process, as does virtually every employer. That third party service provides the report, but the employer makes the actual go/no-go decision based on the report. At my company *I* am the one in HR that evaluates the reports and either says…

It couldn’t hurt to get his nails trimmed, just in case it actually *is* about the claws.

Haven’t had gastric balloon, but have had abdominal surgery - the surgery itself is why you can’t lie flat - not the balloon. For now sleep in a recliner - when your incisions heal you’ll get flat again. Good luck!

Wait, wait, is the offered position overtime-exempt or overtime-eligible? If you will still receive time and a half for overtime work, then you need to be comparing base against base, not base against base+overtime. However, if this job would make you exempt, then that’s a whole different calculation..

Yasssssss! This is gorgeous!!

Two things:

Here you go! https://www.reddit.com/r/raisedbynarc…

Did you call and get a different drug? I’m 2 days out from wrist surgery, and my 1st drug was tramadol - that didn’t do the trick so I switched to Tylenol 3 and that did it. Also, if you ca take motrin alongside the pain med, definitely do so. Feel better soon!

Liquid Silk. Available at CVS (look in the lady section, not the condom section) or online or in sex shops. My husband and I are 100% converted, we will never use any other lube ever again.

drooooool......

Oh! Oh! Oh! I also forgot! If you can’t get through to HR, call the actual hiring manager who would be your actual boss! That is the person that wanted to hire you, and that person can actually find a human being to appeal to in HR. The hiring manager has a lot of weight with HR. If they say “I already knew about that…

My pleasure, best of luck to you! I’ll tell you, I was *thrilled* when my appeal candidate turned out to be correct and was hired after all. Nobody wants to start over with their recruitment. Also, even if the denial was triggered by your actual, correct background info, they have to take into account both recency of…

Many states have laws that specify that an employer is not allowed to do a background check until *after* extending the offer of employment.

You need to find out what company the hospital uses to do their background checks, and file an appeal with them. The minute you file an appeal, all recruitment for the opening stops while they sort it out. You will also get a copy of the full background check that triggered the denial. I would not assume you’re being…

You’re doing great, you’ve strung together 8 hours! Just stay focused on the next step, don’t worry about the journey right now.

At this point, you probably have sex built up way too big in your mind, because you’ve had too many years to think about it, you know? When I was in this position, I just decided to bone the next guy that I found reasonably attractive and who was willing. That got it out of the way for me and brought the whole concept…

How are you doing today?
