I want to leave Dental Assisting?  

answers 0:I have been in this profession on and off since 1999, totaling over 10 years. I want out. Dentistry ranks high as one of the most stressful jobs ever for a reason. If someone has been lucky enough to work with a dentist that isn't high strung and doesn't treat them like a lower class citizen consider yourselves lucky. I have worked with many and most (not all) were/are a nightmare. I'm currently top assistant, hold the highest seniority and all but bottom line; I'm not happy and it took a very serious toll on my mental well-being. I'm paid well hourly but that's the only positive.Here comes the scary part: I'm leaving to go back to being a Cosmetologist. I'm licensed so that's taken care of. Who leaves a medical profession to be a hair stylist? Nobody. I'm 38 years old and I am scared. I just want to be happy and only need about 25-27k a year to live co! mfortably. I have savings in the bank in case the first year I don't do so well as back up. Believe me I have all my ducks in a row and have been planning my "escape" for a while. It's seems most people don't have much faith in this decision. I don't blame them but I am determined. Am I crazy for doing this? This feels so beneath me but maybe my Doc's arrogance has rubbed off. Thoughts?(I live in the midwest in case anyone is wondering.)...Show moreanswers 1:I would say that you have been in this profession for a very long time and know the ins and outs. You obviously are burnt out from this profession and it has impacted your quality of life. If you aren't content and feel satisfied with what you do on a daily basis, then honestly.........at the end of the day, pay, doesn't replace 40 hours a week of a nightmare. We spend a lot of time at work....8 hours a day. That is a long time weekly and monthly to feel discontent with what you do. One of the challenges with burn ! out in jobs like you have is that your setting is going to be ! the same wherever you go, of course people are different, but you have been in the business long enough to get a sense where you reside of the climate of the dental offices where you live.You honestly have nothing to lose by trying this new venture in cosmetology. We only have one life.....and stress definitely has a physical impact on our lives. It can even impact our health. At the end of the day if you are miserable at work......then to me, 8 hours of misery isn't worth it. It probably has impacted your off time too so it has had an impact on your leisure time as well, because you probably can't help from thinking about how horrible things are for you at work.You wouldn't want to end up with a stress related physical condition from continuing to work in a field that hasn't been on your best side. I say go for the cosmetology.......it could work out really well and you may love it...BUT you will never know unless you take this new endeavor in your life. You already ! know what it is like where you are.......it probably can't be any worse?!?...answers 2:Educated, that's another thing I didn't mention is that I receive ZERO medical benefits..or any benefits for that matter. I have looked for another dental position for over a year but nothing came up that was any more ideal. I decided to take that as a sign to move on. I have several friends working as a stylist right now that are making it just fine, if it doesn't work out I can always go back to dental hell. Monique, I agree with you 100%...all of this stress that I deal with and take home is not worth it. Thank you. :)...answers 3:Honestly do what makes you happy. If you are too stressed as a Dental Assistant then leave, no use in shortening your life with stress.answers 4:Educated, that's another thing I didn't mention is that I receive ZERO medical benefits..or any benefits for that matter. I have looked for another dental position for over a year but nothing came up that was any mor! e ideal. I decided to take that as a sign to move on. I have several fr! iends working as a stylist right now that are making it just fine, if it doesn't work out I can always go back to dental hell. Monique, I agree with you 100%...all of this stress that I deal with and take home is not worth it. Thank you. :)...answers 5:I suggest just finding another dental office to work for. Leaving a secure job to work in cosmetology is a bad idea in a recession! Many people aren't getting their haircut by a hairstylist or are going less often then before. I see the proof with hair salons that I have gone into. The one that my mother always goes to has a lot less employees now and usually only the 2 owners are there cutting hair. They are not as busy as they were years ago. It got so slow that they don't have a ton of other stylists anymore. Just the 2 of them and 1 or 2 part time employees and one receptionist. Bad idea to go from having money, dental care, and health insurance to having maybe an hourly wage or living off of tips with possibly NO health ! insurance.If you dislike the dentist just apply elsewhere! Or become an orthodontic assistant! You work more one on one with the patient and the job isn't as difficult as being a general practice dental assistant. And you could get the job right now, from your years of working as a dental assistant....

I need St Augustine sod. I need landscaping in the Houston, TX area.?

Moises Rupinski: Hi. I used Chrio Turf & Landscaping in the Channelview area of Houston, TX. I know they will go anywhere though. They came and tore out all of my old landscape and shrubs that alot of snakes were hiding in. Then they tore out all of my old grass and then they re-sodded it with like 4 pallets of St Augustine grass. They made me a new flowerbed and mulched it with black mulch. It looks like a whole new house just because they did that and they even trimmed my huge tree in the front yard. I am thinking of having them do an irrigation system now that I see how good they are. I checked around and they are like the cheapest company. It is only $125 per pallet with free delivery and installation. I thought about just buying the sod myself, but it is like $100 per pallet and then I would have to try and put it down myself. So for only $25 more per pallet, they are doing all of that hard work. Someone else on yahoo recommended them to me and I am glad th! ey did, because they were very friendly and efficient and I would suggest you call them. There number is 832.438.7496, and you speak to someone named Rodrigo or you can email them at chriocorp@gmail.com. Good luck and God bless....Show more

Cómo evitar verse nervioso

Cómo evitar verse nervioso

Participe en una técnica de relajación. Hay varias maneras de calmar su mente, que le ayudarán a parecer menos nervioso. Tenga en cuenta, sin embargo, que involucrarse en algunas de estas técnicas puede hacer que usted parezca nervioso en vista del hecho de que está usando la técnica. Si usted no quiere que los demás sepan que está nervioso, puede ser mejor hacer cualquier técnica que pueda comprometer su estado de ánimo, en privado.

Expande tu postura. A veces llamados poses de poder, aquellos que muestran una postura expandida en realidad se sienten más poderosos y son vistos como más seguros a los ojos de los demás. Esta es la idea de «fingir hasta que se hace», y los estudios demuestran que puede funcionar para ayudarte a parecer y sentirte más seguro y, por lo tanto, menos nervioso.

Respira y relájate. Respirar profundamente causa muchos cambios en el cuerpo,! muchos de los cuales reducen el estrés y el nerviosismo. Antes de hablar, intente respirar profundamente para ver cómo se siente. Usted probablemente se sentirá menos nervioso y luego se verá menos nervioso también.

Relaja tus músculos. El nerviosismo puede hacer que su cuerpo se ponga tenso. Contrarresta esto relajando tus músculos con una técnica llamada Relajación Muscular Progresiva (PMR, por sus siglas en inglés) Ten en cuenta que debes hacer esto en un lugar privado o puede parecer extraño:

Date cuenta de que no pareces tan nervioso como te sientes. Tenga en cuenta que la mayoría de las veces, la gente no sabe lo que está pasando dentro de su cabeza. Aunque usted puede estar emitiendo algunas señales de nerviosismo, probablemente no se vea tan nervioso como se sentiría.

Mantén tu cuerpo quieto. Otra señal de nerviosismo es el ir y venir. Concéntrese en lugar de quedarse lo más quieto posible. Imagínate a ti mismo como un pilar sÃ! ³lido e inamovible. Otra manera de abstenerse de mecerse es pa! rarse; es más difícil mecerse cuando su cuerpo no está en posición de hacerlo.

Pruebe la meditación. La meditación implica calmar tu mente y estar en el momento presente. Cuando meditas, llegas a regular mejor tus emociones. Esto puede ayudarlo a permanecer calmado en lugar de nervioso. Hay diferentes maneras de meditar, y aunque las técnicas de meditación requieren práctica para aprender, y lo más fácil es que aprendas de un experto, también puedes intentarlo por tu cuenta: Pruebe la meditación guiada. Utilizando tantos de sus cinco sentidos como sea posible, conjure una imagen o escena tranquilizadora en su mente. También puedes probar la meditación mantra. Repita en silencio una palabra o frase en su mente. Esto le ayudará a enfocar su mente y a eliminar los pensamientos no deseados que provocan ansiedad.

Trabajar en una cosa a la vez. A veces nos ponemos nerviosos cuando nos damos cuenta de lo ocupados que estamos. Sin embargo, sólo podemos ! trabajar eficientemente en una cosa a la vez. Concéntrese en la tarea en cuestión y establezca objetivos claros para progresar en ella, luego, una vez que haya alcanzado su marcador de progreso, pase a la siguiente tarea.

Mira directamente. Si estás hablando con alguien, mírala, no mires más allá de ella, o de tus zapatos, o de esa bonita foto en la pared. No tiene que haber contacto visual directo sostenido, pero usted se verá menos nervioso y con más confianza si mira con quién está hablando. Evitar mirar a alguien es una señal segura de estar nervioso.

Evalúe lo que lo está poniendo nervioso. Identifique la causa de su nerviosismo. Piensa en lo que está pasando en tu vida que podría estar poniéndote nervioso. A veces la respuesta es obvia y te mira a la cara, como cuando estás nervioso antes de dar un discurso público. Otras veces su nerviosismo puede provenir de factores más sutiles o «de fondo», como cuando está esperando escuchar las ! noticias sobre si entró a la universidad, o si está esperando escucha! r sobre un resultado médico.

Evite moverse nerviosamente. Para evitar parecer nervioso, debe quedarse quieto. Una señal de nerviosismo es moverse ligeramente alrededor de las manos y/o los pies; o hacer cosas como rizar el cabello. Para no parecer nervioso, usted necesitará enfocar algunos recursos mentales en permanecer relativamente quieto.

Retírate de la situación. Si usted está nervioso por una razón en particular y tiene problemas para calmarse, vea si puede salir de allí apropiadamente. Digamos que necesitas ir al baño o tomar una llamada importante. Esto puede darte unos minutos para que te calmes y te alejes de los demás.

Vigila tu apariencia. Su equilibrio, o la falta de él, se muestra por su porte físico y la forma en que usa sus manos. Hay una serie de cosas que pueden afectar su equilibrio:

Atacar hacia afuera. Si estás nervioso durante una conversación, en lugar de pensar en tu nerviosismo, concéntrate en la otra persona. ! Hágale preguntas como, ¿qué piensa usted? O, ¿cómo te sientes al respecto? Esto te ayudará a concentrarte en ella y no en ti mismo.

Evite morderse las uñas. La gente que se muerde las uñas parece nerviosa. Si usted siente que necesita hacer algo para que su boca libere algo de energía nerviosa, trate de masticar un pedazo de goma de mascar en su lugar. Sin embargo, hágalo con suavidad o con un poco de sutileza, de lo contrario, su masticación excesiva lo pondrá tan nervioso como si se estuviera mordiendo las uñas.

Haz algo de ejercicio. El ejercicio físico regular puede ayudar a mejorar su estado de ánimo y hacer que se sienta más relajado. Así que, encuentre su método preferido de hacer ejercicio, ya sea ir al gimnasio, correr alrededor de la pista, o dar una caminata larga y agradable, ¡y apéguese a él!

Practique la atención. Estar atento es dirigir tu atención al momento presente y aceptarlo sin evaluarlo ni juzgarlo. Mindfulness ! es eficaz para reducir las ansiedades, lo que puede ayudarle a evitar p! arecer nervioso. Hay varias maneras de estar atentos. Usted puede ser consciente de sus sensaciones corporales al notar, sin juicio, las sensaciones de su cuerpo. Fíjese en las formas en que le pica o cómo se siente el aire en su piel. Comience desde la parte superior o inferior de su cuerpo y trabaje hasta el final a través de su cuerpo. También puedes ser consciente de tus sentidos. Enfóquese en sus sentidos: su sentido de la vista, olfato, gusto, tacto y sonido. No juzguen la información que entra a través de sus sentidos; dejen que entre y pase. O bien, puede ser consciente de sus emociones. Etiqueta tus emociones como las sientes: «miedo», «ansiedad», «nerviosismo». No los juzgues, sólo observa y experimenta y déjalos ir.

is exo terra jungle earth okay for pacman frogs?

Charline Granes: No it is not safe to use with pacman frogs. The particles in that substrate are too chunky. There is a risk of impaction if the frog accidentally swallows some. Frogs are very clumsy eaters, and chances of them swallowing it are high. The substrate that you want to buy for them is Coco-Fiber. Coco-Fiber usually comes in dried bricks that you soak in water. It is made out of pulverized coconut shells, and basically looks like dirt. This substrate is safe to use with all types of amphibians, and it will pass though their digestive tract safely should it be accidentally swallowed.I've posted a link below to Exoterras line, they call it "Plantation Soil":You can also buy this at any garden center (it won't be by exoterra though), and most DIY places that sell gardening supplies, like Home Depot. It is much cheaper to buy it this way.The other safe alternative to Coco-Fiber in use with frogs is "Peat Moss". This is ground up moss, that also looks like! dirt. You will find this product at any garden center, or DIY places that sell gardening supplies. You just have to read the label carefully to make sure that there isn't any extra fertilizers or chemicals added to it. It usually doesn't, but it's a good idea to be sure.Another suggestion for good substrate, is to mix 1 part coco-fiber to 1 part Peat Moss. Pacman frogs really enjoy this mixture of substrate. He will be very happy if you do this....Show more

Toshiko Reimers: You bet, just make sure that with the humidity and general wet habitat required for most frogs that mold and other fuzzy white stuff doesn't start growing on it, as given that it is an organic substance, it's a lot easier for stuff to start growing.Edit: My bad, I confused Jungle Earth with Eco Earth in my head; Eco Earth is the coconut fiber that I use and that most other people use. That's highly preferable over the sort of bark-like consistency of Jungle Earth....Show more

Sunshine ! Holets: besides eco earth and other coconut substrates what ca! n i use?

Comment nettoyer un bidet

Comment nettoyer un bidet

Remplacez le désodorisant d’air en carbone. Contrairement aux aérosols, qui bloquent les odeurs avec une autre odeur (plus agréable), les désodorisants d’air au carbone filtrent l’air, le laissant exempt d’odeurs indésirables. Pour assurer une odeur fraîche et propre, remplacez le désodorisant d’air au carbone lorsqu’il a cessé d’être efficace.

Faire tremper un embout de buse amovible dans du vinaigre pour le déboucher. Si la pression d’eau de la buse est faible, il y a de fortes chances qu’elle soit bouchée.

Utilisez du papier hygiénique trempé dans du vinaigre pour enlever les taches sur les bords de la cuvette. Plongez des boules de papier hygiénique ou des essuie-tout dans le vinaigre et collez-les aux endroits tachés autour du bord de la cuvette ou à tout autre endroit où le vinaigre n’atteint pas directement. ! Laissez-les reposer toute la nuit.

Essuyez le bidet régulièrement, au moins une fois par semaine. Utilisez du vinaigre ou un détergent ménager doux vaporisé sur un chiffon humide. Essuyer le bidet avec le chiffon et laisser sécher à l’air libre. Rincez le chiffon immédiatement après utilisation avec de l’eau chaude pour le garder propre.

Utilisez du vinaigre et une brosse à dents pour nettoyer manuellement la buse. Pour tous les autres bidets, nettoyez la buse au moins une fois par mois en appuyant sur le bouton de nettoyage pendant 3 secondes jusqu’à ce que la buse s’avance pour le nettoyage. Utilisez ensuite de l’eau mélangée à du vinaigre et une brosse à dents douce pour nettoyer la buse.

Utilisez la fonction d’auto-nettoyage, le cas échéant. De nombreuses buses de bidet ont une fonction d’auto-nettoyage, ce qui rend leur entretien très simple. Pour l’activer, tournez le bouton sur « Nozzle Cleaning ». Si cette fonc! tion est utilisée régulièrement, vous n’aurez peut-être ! jamais besoin de la nettoyer manuellement.

Tremper l’ouverture au fond du bol dans le vinaigre toute la nuit. S’il y a de l’eau dans le bol, salissez-le avec une vieille serviette, puis versez une généreuse quantité de vinaigre blanc dans le bol du bidet. Laisser le vinaigre dans le bol toute la nuit.

Débouchez un embout de buse inamovible avec un sachet de vinaigre Ziploc. Si la buse n’a pas d’embout amovible, étendez la buse et débranchez l’appareil, puis fixez un sac Ziploc rempli de vinaigre à la buse avec un élastique ou un ruban adhésif, en vous assurant que l’embout est complètement immergé dans le vinaigre.

Nettoyez le dessous du siège du bidet avec un détergent doux. Si votre bidet a un siège, nettoyez-le au moins une fois par an. Soulevez le siège en appuyant sur le bouton situé sur le côté du siège près du cordon électrique et en tirant vers le haut avec vos mains. S’il n’y a pas de bouton, soulevez le siè! ge en le tirant vers le haut et vers l’avant. Nettoyez sous le siège avec un détergent doux.

Frotter le bol avec un chiffon de nettoyage pour finir d’enlever les taches. Retirez le papier hygiénique et frottez l’intérieur de la cuvette avec un chiffon imbibé de vinaigre. Ensuite, rincez le bol à l’eau. Répéter l’opération si nécessaire.

Bathroom Remodeling Help?

Perry Deshazior: You can order one to measure at Lowe's or Home Depot. I got one at Home Depot called Solieque. You have to special order it, but there are a lot of choices. It will cost you about $551 to $652 for the size you need; however, there are a lot of choices about type of sink you use, color, type of bowl etc. It can be made of Corian, Silestone, or granite. I realize it was an investment (expensive). I've had it about a year. It is so much easier to clean, it doesn't stain. It looks luxurious. It fits perfectly. I like it so much I'm going to buy another one for the other bathroom, and I consider it money well spent.It think it increases the value of my home, especially when one considers what it replaced.I ended up calling the people directly at 877-765-4783. They were helpful and ensured I measured exactly right (this is important when you tell them where to place the sink.)Hope this helps....Show more

Blair Abdi: I depends on the type of top you want..! .e.g. laminate, cultured marble, granite...You can checkout places like Home Depot, or Lowe's and see what you can find, or look in the yellow pages for custom cabinet shops. A simple vanity top shouldn't be a budget buster. Hope this helps.

Luke Kosch: We are looking at the cultured.

Toshiko Reimers: hi! there are the kind of number of questions in my suggestions and that i extremely am meant to be ending up a snowflake mission for the following day,,, so please forgive me for being short. i'd: replace the wallpaper, put in new lighting fixtures, flooring and the ceramic tiles interior the bathe. i'd imagine two times about the tub bathtub. Has it any historic activity? if so, what might want to you get to change the bathroom so it would want to experience the tub in kind, do you ought to opt for to positioned it aside (like.... it really is positive and deep, lengthy and mushy to lie in...etc.) ???? Given the assistance I have (i.e. no longer pictures) i'd not! remove the 1/2 panelling or the shallowness and cupboard. Cab! inetry is worth its weight in gold and also you may continually have it restored. 1/2 panelling is amazingly very pleasing as a "us of a look" and it grants warm temperature to the abode in iciness, because it grants an further layer of insulation. i'd replace the wallpaper with bathing room wallpaper (cleanable and moisture evidence), and put in ceramic tiles for the flooring. Snowflakes are calling .... yet i'd never in a million years do it myself. enable some different person do it. There are bathing room designers. you shouldn't be sorry. existence is in basic terms too short. Cheers and Merry Christmas. p.s. do not underestimate the skills that are mandatory for the kind of mission. those experts are extremely proficient, trust me. The blunders you're making might want to be expensive. i understand, because I have made them... and then been VERY embarrassed at myself. yet what do i understand?...Show more

Lita Thammorongsa: check with Home Depot, they will cut i! t and install it for you.
