I have the QC 35 and QC 45. I prefer the 35 though they are likely harder to find. The 45s have different software and the headphones remind me to pair intermittently when I am not connected to a device, which is annoying because I usually don’t listen to anything, I just want the noise cancelling. The 45s also allow more of certain sounds in, like wind and other things that, in my opinion, should have been canceled out.

Sorry you’re feeling that. It is so frustrating to feel like the people who you need to help you aren’t listening.

For the last 7 years I’ve been going to doctors to figure out a handful of random symptoms; fatigue, headaches, dizziness, nausea, irritability. The symptoms would come and go but were very disruptive when I had them. In 7 years, I’ve spent thousands of dollars. I’ve seen doctors, naturopaths, therapists, psychiatrists, endocrinologists. No one has ever given me any insight into what is going on. I’ve gotten very good at explaining my symptoms concisely but that didn’t change the care I received. I’ve been extra irritable lately and I finally decided to get a full physiological evaluation and while I was awaiting my results I realized I have autism and ADHD and that I’ve been dealing with meltdowns and burnout. No wonder no one could diagnose me, burnout is not really a recognized medical condition. I feel like I lost a huge chunk of my life and that I only figured out how to improve my health because there are so many people telling their stories on social media.

Sorry to highjack your post, but I just had this huge breakthrough and I want to shout it from the rooftops but also don’t want to tell anyone I know IRL. 😬

Yes, I did a full assessment (not just autism) and I kind of gave up by the end. I panicked a bit but I’ve also had really bad brain fog lately. The room I was in had very bright lights, the HVAC was buzzing and humming and I was in a chair without a headrest…it felt like literal torture. I had to skip an entire visual processing section and passed on several of the intellectual questions because my brain simply could not work.

My conservative parents have also been complaining about the economy and their financial situation. In April they spent 4k to get a box at a baseball game and asked me for money to pay for it, citing that its a special spend to celebrate my dad’s 60th birthday. Then last week I found out that they are going on a 16k eastern European river cruise this summer. Talk about temporarily embarrassed millionaires.

I’m the same. My mind is always churning. I’m getting evaluated for ADHD next week.

The map would be tough. If someone showed me the map and said, go to the kitchen, I would try remember, turn left then right then its around to the left. I would remember it in words, not visually.

Brown and pink dog…in my mind I see a hazy face of a poodle with fluffy pink ears. I can’t see the full dog. I can’t walk around the image and explore it more. Its just a hazy partial visual that flashes in my mind for a moment.

Be careful, I logged out for too long and forgot my password and they wanted a copy of my driver’s license before letting me have access to my account.

Yeah, I wasn’t trying to give you a hard time, just sharing how drastically different housing markets can be. I could sell my house in California and buy a 400k house outright from the equity that has accumulated. Alot of middle class Californian are doing just that, selling their houses and buying in the south or midwest with cash. It’s part of what is inflating your housing costs because your market is more affordable than mine. For comparison, the median houshold income in my city is 89k but the median house list price is 1 million, making your market more affordable and attractive for those that need some relief from inflation.

Those numbers mean nothing without knowing the local wages. In my neighborhood the lowest priced 800 sqft homes are 950k and one bedroom rent is $2400. So your area sounds like a killer deal.

So many but Lamictal is my current favorite.

I really feel this lately. The news is shit. My anxiety has been high so I go straight to the NYT games app instead of scrolling through the front page.

I started taking a medication recently that has “enlarged spleen” as a side effect. Okay doc, I’ll keep an eye on my spleen.

It’s been Core Keeper for me.

I dropped out 20 years ago and I’ve done alright but have grown into a management role and now it is very hard to move into other management roles without a degree. I am considering going back to school to finish it.

It was legal software called Needles. The firm didn’t use email to communicate. They sent Needles messages. I quit after a week.

A degree can be earned slowly with a lot of outside assistance. A lot of jobs can’t be handled like that.

We use an assessment that provides feedback on 12 metrics and the most important to me are logical problem solving, vocabulary and aggressiveness. I can have several applicants from the same school score wildly differently in those metrics, even if they all have the same degree.

What else should employers do if they have 100 applicants for a role? Interview every single person? We need to weed people out somehow. If you don’t provide a cover letter, you’re eliminated. If you don’t take the assessment, you’re eliminated. You’re saving us time.

I’ve noticed a lot of people lately thinking that college is the hard part and if they get the right degree they will coast into a cushy, easy job. Truth is, being an employee is work and at best executives and owners get to coast on cushy jobs, so unless you manage to get a degree that instantly qualifies you for a CEO role, you’re going to have to work your ass off to climb a ladder or build a business for yourself.

Seriously though, I’m an office administrator and your degree in administration is going to make you the meat in a shit sandwich. Everything that you hate about recruiting…don’t be surprised if you end up being responsible for it. You’ll have to conduct those 100 interviews, then hire and manage staff that have your same burnt out attitude. Your subordinates will bring you endless problems. But that’s only half of it. You’ll be also report up to executives who will push you to be callous and heartless, while somehow magically also increasing production and morale. Did your degree give you all the tools and skills you need to do that? Bro good luck.

Older models, yes but not the newer ones.

I assumed it was a scar from a failed forward helix piercing.

Legal field for me, but I’ll be honest. I was planning on quitting Reddit cold turkey and doing something else with my free time but my software project manager husband kept talking about Lemmy, so here I am.

It’s fine for news, tech and memes but none of the niche subs that I loved are here. I really miss the sub for my city.
