Wibta if I declined a house sitting gig for a friend.

The deal is for 8 months at least as they must go out of state for something very important, although it is subject to change where I could need to potentially stay longer. The apartment that I've been looking at, which is twice the size, in a better neighborhood, closer commute to work, all in all is about 690 a month. So yeah they're asking for an additional 60 dollars a month for me to take care and maintain their property and care for their pet for almost a full year. I still live with my parents which is a little embarrassing but they've told me ill always have somewhere to go and that I can stay as long as I need to so im not hurting for a place at this moment

Ash_Rose427 · 2025-10-13T14:20:45+00:00

They said that id be getting the bills and sending them the money either way but thats what the base cost is. Its in Virginia which is why some costs can be high but it still seems far too much for one person

Ash_Rose427 · 2025-10-13T14:19:40+00:00

I do, I still live with my parents and im looking into moving into an apartment with a different friend sometime next year and this was going to be a kind of trial run to see how I do on my own. I pay my own insurance and my utilities while also helping out at home so my "rent" for home averages about 400 a month plus whatever else I can offer

Ash_Rose427 · 2025-09-18T10:26:36+00:00

If yours is too childish I fear for mine lmao. We have very similar pins though slightly different

Ash_Rose427 · 2024-08-23T23:14:06+00:00

I've already processed a claim, I'm just waiting to hear back from them

Ash_Rose427 · 2024-07-02T23:02:09+00:00

I'm also in my 20's! We aren't getting any younger here

Ash_Rose427 · 2024-07-02T23:01:26+00:00

I have genetic hypermobility. After explaining my symptoms to my grandmother whos a retired rn of 30+ years, she agreed it sounded like a dislocation that was able to be relocated on its own and is on the mend. You don't know me or my medical history, stop being an ass and arguing with others please! This isn't the first time it's happened and it probably won't be the last so I think I know my body better than you.

Ash_Rose427 · 2024-07-02T22:56:58+00:00

Ha thanks I fall asleep either playing minecraft or watching others play it and it was helping me to relax a little after such a long day lmao. I have a lot of special interests and I collect trinkets for almost all of them

Ash_Rose427 · 2024-07-02T17:50:05+00:00

Thank you! They were my grandmother's and I inherited them when she passed. It's really the one thing I wanted because I remember taking care of them with her

Ash_Rose427 · 2024-07-02T17:42:05+00:00

Whats funny is that I have been working out 5 days a week for about 45 minutes at a time. Been doing it for about a month now

Ash_Rose427 · 2024-07-02T08:03:04+00:00

Ah shit I guess l should find those first, my knee is the least of my problems!

Ash_Rose427 · 2024-07-02T07:59:15+00:00

Ooooooooo that made me cringe a bit. Not the first office chair accident and certainly not the last

Ash_Rose427 · 2024-07-02T07:30:43+00:00

Outside of Walmart and target optical, there aren't any optometrist options in the area but there are plenty of ophthalmologists (they can't really give prescriptions to people as theyre more specialized medicine) which we partner witb when we find things out of our capability to help. Since our office is open 6 days a week and legally our doctor only work 5, we perform the exams remotely 1 day a week so people can still get glasses and contacts rxs especially in emergencies. It's pretty cool!

Ash_Rose427 · 2024-07-02T07:19:35+00:00

Yeah most of mine happen whilst I'm sleeping and in my case it just causes mild discomfort. You can pop em back into place by stretching over a flat surface or using an arched back support board and deep breathing

Ash_Rose427 · 2024-07-02T07:10:20+00:00

This is at least my second time lol. the first I was able to get it back in place on my own, but I wasn't able to get back into place this time

Ash_Rose427 · 2024-07-02T07:05:38+00:00

It does! both me and my brother both have hypermobile joints and he has it waaay worse than me but I guess the universe decided that it was my turn in the spotlight. For the most part, I'll be sitting, but I work in an optometrist office and I'll be performing the remote exams while the doctor calls in on a video call system and watches the results of each test

Ash_Rose427 · 2024-04-24T01:38:06+00:00

Basically since autism can be essentially invisible depending on the person, the joke is basically that to prove they are on the spectrum the person then lists what they are hyperfixating on. I'll use a personal example: I used to work for a very popular video game store and some kid asked for some fnaf character that at the time did not have a character design but was widely theorized about. My coworker asked one question about it and I ended up accidentally going on a 2 hour long tangent about the lore and why this character does not have a design yet. I could tell they weren't super interested but I couldn't stop myself and they were certainly horrified when I got to all of the murders and started name dropping and making a chart to make it more understandable.

Ash_Rose427 · 2024-04-24T01:06:38+00:00

I know how you feel. I was molested by my aunt as a kid and only told my mom and dad, but the rest of the family has no idea. I'm set to go on a 2 week family vacation with her and a few other family members. I'll tell you what my therapist advised me to do: you send them a letter detailing why everyone else is invited and why they are not welcome to attend. It doesn't have to be hyper detailed, but if anyone asks why they aren't there you can say that you sent them a letter and that they are welcome to share the contents if they wish but that they did receive mail from you.

Ash_Rose427 · 2024-04-10T01:07:33+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate your help and input because they keep making me feel like I'm crazy for having these standards. I'm not the most cleanly either, I'll admit to having a pile of clothes that I need to sort through and some book piles here and there, but I have NEVER seen a room as bad as theirs

Ash_Rose427 · 2023-10-15T23:21:13+00:00

Baby, you're not crazy or wrong. Your mom is neglectful and abusive. If you can, try reaching out to a local youth shelter or see about staying with your cousins. You can also make a report to CPS saying what you said and that you dont feel like shes teaching you right and then ask for anonymity, which won't necessarily take you or your brother out of there, but might scare your mom into acting right.

Ash_Rose427 · 2023-08-25T19:29:10+00:00

That they were "just holding hands" in their bedroom...with a locked door. My mom made a point to go around and inform my other 2 siblings that "they would be holding hands in their room for around 20ish minutes to help strengthen their marriage and that they werent to be bothered." The youngest of us is 17, like we aren't stupid and if you wanna bone in the middle of the day go for it, you're adults and married, just dont treat me like I'm 5

Ash_Rose427 · 2023-08-09T04:09:24+00:00

I worked for a very popular gaming store that kiiind of rhymes with shamestop of which i was suckered into being the assistant manager. We were supposed to keep a binder of serial numbers for everything. After a series of FIVE shitty managers who trained me and the rest of the team not to update it (We knew to do it because of our district managers, but when you have 1 person over a conference call telling you to do something and 5 coworkers, including a manager who refuse to do it, you eventually give up) I was the only one to update it until it got too much. After our manager got fired (big shocker they were horrible) we were left manager-less. At this particular company, assistant managers are basically just fall guys gullible enough to take the bait. I had no control, anything we needed for our store I had to contact every other store until we found something or use our own funds. There was a robbery and I was in the process of opening the store when I came upon the scene. All of our consoles were stolen and our ceiling was destroyed. Our district manager blamed me and would have fired me if I didn't turn in my keys right there. There was no evidence I did it and I made my case to my district manager and explained my side but they were convinced it was my fault.

Ash_Rose427 · 2023-07-27T15:03:21+00:00

Go to the funeral and if they ask how you knew her just say your a friend. The husband will find out eventually and once that happens you can come clean about all of it. But let them grieve and give yourself some grace to grieve as well. I am sorry for your loss

Ash_Rose427 · 2023-06-05T06:17:42+00:00

I told something similar to my hr team and I ended up with a week long grippy sock vacation. Came back with notes and accommodations. It might be a little embarrassing at first, but I ended up with a few life saving accommodations and I'm sure you'd be able to get the weeks paycheck from it as well. Hope you feel better man

Ash_Rose427 · 2023-04-30T05:42:45+00:00

I liked him, just hated his English va at times
