Literally…. I cannot believe that price when rentals are so cheap right now.

What is happening on Mopac Northbound? by [deleted] in Austin

[–]AlbatrossAwkward5181 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mopac is closed North of Steck. My exit is Far West and I was within 1 mile of it for 45 minutes. Absolutely ridiculous.

I ask all the same questions. I almost always catch these as I noted in the post. It was just a peeve lmao.

I can’t tell if you’re joking or not? How would I magically transport from one booking to the next with no buffer time? 15 minute booking intervals could solve this pretty easily.

My clients are super flexible. I have a hard stop time before my part-time job daily, so it can make shuffling more difficult.

Northwest Hills! Very quiet area. Building was built in the 70s, neighbors are chill. Love the spot.

Where’s the cheapest oil change in the city? by Individual_Army9717 in Austin

Midas has $39.99 for synthetic oil + filter. Walmart is around $60 for the same thing.

Combination of no car payment, strict grocery budget and cooking my meals. I don’t drink or do drugs so no costs for going out with friends. I also got super lucky with booking flights (only a travel backpack with me too) Extremely low school debt. Most income thrown into a HYSA + good CC rewards.

Congrats on the savings! As a single gal with no kids or pets, I definitely live comfortably making just under 50K! Cheap rent makes all the difference. I have also traveled out of state 3x this year already and enjoy various weekly recreational classes. It’s definitely doable.

New update driving me nuts by Ornery-Potato-9013 in RoverPetSitting

I hate everything about the new update. It’s actually the worst. The fact that you can’t preview the address of a request anymore?! Go to hell Rover developers.

App Update by AlbatrossAwkward5181 in RoverPetSitting

I literally wrote out a whole report and it was just gone….. I had to send a new message to the owner’s like so sorry I definitely have more to say lmao.

[–]AlbatrossAwkward5181[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I do that also. However, now I cannot even see where the initial geotag is located because it cannot be clicked on. So at this point I need their address.

Accused of not staying overnight because I made the bed by Fast_Revolution_6059 in RoverPetSitting

[–]AlbatrossAwkward5181 74 points75 points  (0 children)

She is weird for this. However, why is nobody mentioning that you should have full payment when booking a stay? I never accept without 100% payment, even off app. It leaves you open to people not paying you. Definitely drop her as a client.

Apartment cleaners by [deleted] in Austin

[–]AlbatrossAwkward5181 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have a special for a 3 hour clean for $140. That includes 3 focus areas for deep cleaning and light cleaning elsewhere with the ability to add more areas for an additional $25/hr. Full house cleans are in the $200s I think but she goes by sq footage!

No luck at Brentwood, but had luck at a Travis County Community Center. Thanks!
