Anyone wanna be friends?
If you do feel so down and trapped that you just can't seem to make yourself even put on your jacket and get out of the house, then yes, perhaps you might be depressed and need therapy.
In addition to (or sometimes instead of) going to a…
If ‘all’ hairdressers are crap, there could be a different reason for the OP to consider.
Most hairdressers didn’t study in Hogwarts and those are scissors not magic wands that they’re holding.
Uni Zurich has the same rules.
But the rules also says that if you have regularly complete at least the first two years of study (120 ECTS Credits) the rules are relaxed and you no longer need all the mandatory subjects. (If the…

From my experience, a lot of the nurses who stay working in the unit are older/have been there for a long time. I think it has to do with the fact that due to seniority and therefore expertise, they don't need to do as much bedside duties…

I experienced some rudeness while unemployed in geneva. RAV people in the Deutschschweiz are much nicer. If your personal circumstances allow move to a cheap area in the deutschschweiz like kanton zug while you look for a new job.

Opened the account on 5 June 2018. Used a Swiss address of a property I have long owned. I am a CH/US citizen, moved back to CH in March 2019. Had last lived in Switzerland in the 1990s. My grandson is not US: his mum (born in UK) never…
No bonus. I don't know about the 13 month salary, but that doesn't make a difference...112K (not 110K, actually) is what I get in a year. I don't care if in 12 or 13 pieces.
One thing that is very attractive for me in living in…
I echo the others who advised you to deal with this in a non-confrontational way.
Often the Kindergarten teachers would ask parents to help out when they have a planned activity outside the school. And my kids loved it when I would…
My point was, the Italian experience strongly suggest this protection is not really that effective.
It would be, if
1. most of global pollution would be caused only by old cars
2. air would clean itself within hours
What actually…

Medication Help
It's never acceptable to share prescription meds. A pharmacist or MD would tell you that.
A pharmacologist, while clearly having a lot of knowledge in some areas, is neither of those.
I also speak from experience.

I'm leery of LinkedIn as it has a pretty scummy reputation but it seems like I'll have to bite the bullet sooner or later and join. Also, recruiter spam.

A Hypothek is a type of Verpfändung ... specifically of a house, plot, flat.
You don't "verpfänden" your house/plot/flat, you have a "hypothekarische Belastung" on it.
But you can verpfänden (pledge/pawn) a …

I just sold one of our thundershirts to someone who has a dog who is very nervous in the car. She said she has tried everything. I also suggested using a dog ramp and putting treats on it to distract the dog. That worked for us too.
