I wondered about this but I figured recruiters would assume Google voice numbers were spam/sketchy applicants.
How do you apply to new jobs without giving out your number?
And that braincell is AAAAAAAAAAAAA
Thanks for the suggestion. I don't think I could get him to take part in any kind of therapy but it sounds interesting for myself. Do you have any favorite resources?
My father's a narcissist and my family waves it away. I'm fine with LC, he's not, so I guess sooner or later it'll turn into NC. It's frustrating. He wants a relationship and says he's willing to try, but he's incapable of accepting any reality where he's done something wrong or hurt someone. I've spent years trying to think of the magic words that would fix things but there's no way around it.
As a person it's made me more conscious of people's limits. There's a will on both sides for us, but we're each limited in our own ways. I can't be as tolerant as the rest of my family and he won't be able to make progress without therapy that he doesn't even realize he needs.
Family member of the same gender? Time to hold hands everywhere we go...
Never heard of a banana in a pb&j. Make it pb and nutella w/ banana and I'd be all over that.
If your laptop's able to connect and use the hotspot, that's good news. Drivers, OS, and hardware are all probably fine. Couple more thoughts:
-
On your laptop, forget the network and try to set it up manually with IPv4/6 instead of DHCP. This article has some steps for that.
-
Does your network require whitelisting devices? Alternatively, could your laptop be blacklisted?
If these don't work, could you add your windows version, exact error wording, and the hp model to the post? It will help for looking the problem up.
Since you've uninstalled the WiFi driver, try:
-
Reinstall driver
-
Restart computer, modem, and router
-
Double check that there's not a WiFi switch that's off. I've seen physical switches and Fn buttons for this.
-
Try to connect to WiFi
-
Make a hotspot with your phone and try to connect to that
If it fails to connect to both WiFi and the hotspot, then it might be a driver, OS, or hardware problem. You could redownload the driver on another computer (or via Ethernet if you can connect that way) and try again. Similar for the OS, but I don't know Windows so seek specific advice for that. Hardware is easy. A WiFi adapter like this should work
Edit: Also make sure that your network is working correctly. Do other devices connect to the Wi-Fi? Turn your phone's data off and connect, then see if it loads anything. Could be the internet's out or the modem.
I've gotten some great solutions to work problems around bedtime. I make notes, set it to ping me in the morning, then can sleep easy.
Spatchcock that turkey and it'll bake no problem
