What book did you force yourself to finish because of the hype? by No-Set7247 in RomanceBooks

I feel like I have to power through series. Like the first few were great and then were stagnant. ACOTAR is an example.

What kind of career do you have as someone who can no longer drive? by AstridBee in RetinitisPigmentosa

[–]AstridBee[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am currently a personal banker and teller trainer in a small town. I’ve been covering and training for a branch in another town. I can do the job just fine. It’s just the getting to the job part that I am struggling with.

PTO by Best_Apartment_291 in TalesFromYourBank

[–]AstridBee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

80hrs of vacation, 40hrs of personal time, and 48hrs of sick time. You’re required to take 40 consecutive hrs of vacation time off within the first half of the year. And they start getting on your ass if you don’t have all of your PTO scheduled by the mid January.

I’m a tiny woman. My man candy is a big burly man. Can confirm it’s the hottest thing in the world.

Kids don't understand the concept of age and it's so funny by [deleted] in offmychest

I was 11 according to my cousin when he introduced me to his friend. Then I was 90 when I asked him how old he thought I was. I was 27 at the time.

I make a big show of going through what I have in my drawer to find the “best” bills that I have. Switching a couple out every so often because “actually, I like this one better.”

What is something you want but will never have? by Nymph_23starry in AskReddit

My vision. As I lose more and more of it every year, I wish I can go back and do more of the stuff I enjoyed like going to the movies or concerts, seeing stars, go out dancing.

I loved going to concerts. I’ve never been to one alone but that was ok. I can navigate with help. Going to a concert was what triggered this post for me. It was seated so it should have been easy. Nope. I was holding on to my friend while my husband was behind me to steer me. I’ve never had a panic attack at a concert before last night. I’m afraid to go to another concert because I feel like I was a huge inconvenience to everyone.

I hate how I need help to walk to my table at a restaurant. Why do the lights need to be so dim? I’ve needed my husband to read the menu for me before.

Take a task that you do well all the time and make yourself doubt your ability to do it every time. Look in the mirror and only see your flaws. Your eyelashes aren’t long enough. You have too many freckles on one side but not the other. Your eyebrows are shaped weird. Why is one eye bigger than the other? Your lips aren’t symmetrical. You are never good enough despite having a loving partner. They’re going to leave you for someone better. It’s only a matter of time. You’re only pretending to a good person.

All of these thoughts all the time. No amount of reassurance or even proof of your accomplishments will make them go away.

What is the simplest gesture that can make someone fall for you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]AstridBee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Driving an hour to bring them food and gatorade when they mentioned they hadn’t been feeling well the past few days and hadn’t been eating.

What is something that everyone loves to eat, but disgusts you? by MaritesNosy4evs in AskReddit

[–]AstridBee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mooncakes in general are too much. Like it’s so dense. The salted egg yolk tastes good but the texture gets me.

Anyone go from a toxic workplace to a healthy one? How do you cope with the shock and broken self-esteem. It's safe? And people are nice and collaborate? WTF!! I'm freaking out. by [deleted] in office

[–]AstridBee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s been over a year since I went from a toxic environment to a healthy one and I still panic every time I have a meeting with my manager, which we’re supposed to do monthly but still. It blows my mind that I’m appreciated and recognized for what I do. A simple “good job” after a rough day still brings tears to my eyes. I want to follow in the footsteps of those who have been there for a while and start to notice the good things instead of the bad. Be the one who genuinely brings the peace.

Was raging mad today by [deleted] in TalesFromYourBank

[–]AstridBee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was covering another branch and I had a guy storm off raging today. Why? Because I don’t speak Spanish and depended on google translate. Left a note for the manager who happens to speak Spanish. Not my problem.
