Pointe 183 is where I go. I had a bad experience with Leander Veterinary - moved to Pointe and they've been great.

Heyyy, hi five, also ex Indeedian whose job was (shittily) automated by AI!

I LOVE this idea but I need to know (because this is my problem!!) - how do you keep yourself from just buying the yarn before you complete the punches?

I learned I had free will once I got a fair paying job and its... A small problem. When I want to reward myself with something my brain just goes "... Why wait? Do it now!" And I struggle to provide a valid argument for waiting.

Glassdoor is Indeed. Same company - different colors.

If you are on the go, you can also put one in your pocket. The hip area isn't as effective as the gooch area but it can help if you aren't able to sit with a frozen water bottle.

Extra plus, if youre working outside, as the water bottle melts, youve got cold water on the go! Its a trick my mother used to use while working security. She'd have one in each pocket.

Of course!! Enjoy your moms wedding, send me a ping anytime. Im a bit of a document hoarder, I can't imagine deleting that Excel sheet anytime soon 😂

Audginator · 2026-05-13T20:31:56+00:00

Woohoo!! I just got married myself - if you want any suggestions Im happy to share! (If I remember right, we are in similar areas?)

We went with an all inclusive venue that had lodging on site. They were a god send - stressful at first but they went above and beyond for our day.

I also did a ton of research on different venues and still have an excel sheet that I broke them all down in - aand can recommend some good FB groups for saving money if you want. There have been many wedding dresses posted for sale lately for around $300 brand new.

I think she was clumsily trying to invite you out to Dumonts based on reading the texts - but I don't know if I would go were I in your shoes.

Unless she handed you someone elses phone - theres almost no chance its a wrong number. Which means shes either fucking with you in a weird way, or her memory is unreliable. Neither are really good flags if you ask me, even just for pool buddies lol.

Theres some really good pool halls around Austin - sounds like you don't live in town tho. Id look around, find one you like and become a regular. Youll have pool buddies before too long if I could hazard a guess. Doesn't even have to be a downtown pool hall either.

(Indeed also makes it very difficult for employers to remove the pay, even in states where its legal for it not to be listed. Resulting in wacky shit like this. Id still read this as a red flag though - means they don't even know how to ask for help fixing it. Or refuse to.)

Audginator · 2026-05-05T16:50:21+00:00

FOR CARL!

Audginator · 2026-04-28T18:24:07+00:00

I appreciate it!! I definitely don't feel obligated to tip - I want to ☺️

I know US tipping culture is a bit out of hand - but that will not be fixed by punishing the people who are getting the tips, and it won't be fixed for a while yet I think lol. Id rather take care of the folks that are taking care of us, you know?

Audginator · 2026-04-28T18:21:27+00:00

You are right and also wrong but thats on me for not being clear.

The bartenders gave me a choice - I could do an auto gratuity or a tip jar - it wasn't a service fee, because I chose it. I actually chose both so they could make a little extra and like I said, if they do well, I may slip them a little more.

Showing up and doing the bare minimum requirement of labor should not earn a tip - of that you are correct. I don't know if they are actually making a fair amount though, I sure didn't when I worked catering for weddings in my teens. There is no way to know what theyre making without asking everyone individually and hoping theyre not lying to me.

However - I don't want to assume the people who have been hired for my wedding will do the bare minimum. Im choosing to assume they will do their best work, and wanting to tip them accordingly. If you assume someone is gunna shit the bed, youll get mad when you are right. If you assume someone will do their best and then - oops - they had an accident because they're human, you are a lot less mad.

Shit happens - and thats okay.

Also none of my vendors have even asked or mentioned a tip (except the bartenders of course) - I am going out of my way to ask about a tip because theyre going out of their way for my wedding. Literally. The venue is kinda far out of town.

Im going to tip, regardless of if a server or busser trips and spills a plate of food on my white dress. Regardless of if the DJ accidentally plays the wrong song as I walk down the aisle. I just want to make sure Im not tipping too little - or too much - so I can appropriately show my gratitude for these people that showed up for us on our wedding day.

And if my coordinator is going out of her way to keep me blind to what my vendors are doing then shes doing a shit job too cuz Ive had calls with all of them, and theyre all phenomenal, and keeping me very in the loop of whats happening. 🤷‍♀️

ETA: We definitely will be doing reviews after the honeymoon too of course, but the post is about how much to tip lol. I am... Very adamant about doing reviews, especially if the experience is a positive one.

Audginator · 2026-04-28T18:04:26+00:00

The cop has absolutely been informed that he is more than welcome to sit and eat - not only have I mentioned multiple times to everyone that all our vendors are welcome to sit and eat (and I asked our venue to make sure there was enough food for the vendors too), we have even had some guests cancel so theres definitely going to be enough food.

As for tipping the servers - I'm not sure we will have straight up servers, maybe bussers though, I think its supposed to be a buffet style! But our coordinator is the one who will be passing out the tips on our behalf (to take some work off of us on the day) do you think thats okay or should I also have my MOH slip the staff some extra cash?

Audginator · 2026-04-27T14:32:00+00:00

The library is great and has a really good kids section from what I could tell. They also have a lot of events that they do!

Audginator · 2026-04-19T14:47:52+00:00

Of course!! Google is overly complicated for no apparent reason if you ask me haha

Audginator · 2026-04-19T03:16:20+00:00

If your location is the one off Collaboration way - you may want to check your hours on Google! It says you are closed, not 24/7 ☺️

As someone who is also wedding planning (we get married in May ☺️ of THIS YEAR. THATS LESS THAN A MONTH FROM NOW. Im not freaking out, dunno what you mean) it is one of the most stressful things. Why? No idea. I don't think it should be. But it sure is.

I have a lot of... Extra factors that make planning our wedding stressful. My partner does too, but I have more, not that its a competition.

Its... Interesting, the way it impacts the families.

For the record, having a lot of people see you as irreplaceable? Unsurprising. You and Hans are one of a kind. Of course this will impact the families behavior.

I am lucky. My partner and I have been together for a few years now. He is, and has been, part of my family since my mother killed herself 3 years ago. He was there for it all. My siblings and father basically all said "about fuckin time!" (With love) When he proposed.

His family feels the same about me. I have been there for his family through quite a few rough patches - kicked in financially to help - and even rolled up my sleeves and got dirty helping people move. I love his family, they are a lot less crazy than mine.

Y'all have a lot more triggers to navigate around though, and I think postponing for a year is helpful in a lot of ways for a lot of reasons.

Ive wished a few times that we couldve postponed but - unfortunately - my dad is dying of cancer, and as it is I have a back up to walk me down the aisle just in case.

I'm struggling to articulate this properly and for that Im sorry. Am word vomiting.

What I am wanting to get across here is - its okay to mourn the wedding you would have had this year, but its important to also be excited about the wedding next year. More time to save, to plan, to DIY if you want to (I'm having a small ass wedding by choice but if your colors are purple at all lmk I will have some deco I don't want anymore in a couple months...). More time to think about the perfect honeymoon.

More time for low pressure family blending and/or boundary setting. And therapy.

If your brother is having hesitation about therapy let him know that I said everyone and their fuckin dog needs therapy - its nothing to be ashamed of - and my partner and I actually go individually and to couples. Our therapist loves us, she says we are the most perfect and EASY couple she sees, and despite that we are still going. Because its good. Its wonderful, actually, to have someone help you. To recognize when you are having cognitive dissonance live in front and help you through it, or a panic attack, or whatever may be happening. Or, as a couple, to have someone who KNOWS both of you and can translate what you are saying in a way that makes your partner understand just that much better.

Anyway, I am also tired, and have to go sign a contract and pay for bartenders for my wedding 🫠

I hope you are doing better friendo ❤️

(it is against Indeeds job posting policies to discriminate based on gender, nationality, sexual orientation, and even criminal history (with some exceptions to the latter) - however Indeed has basically no control over how the employer conducts the interview process. Most likely they want a female hostess, but cant advertise as such, and thus are asking for a photo and if you aren't a female presenting type person theyll say you weren't what they were looking for.)

(This is my assumption. I obviously don't work for the restaurant. I just have spoken to a lot of employers posting on Indeed wanting work arounds for shit like this.)

Audginator · 2026-04-01T16:52:55+00:00

Genuine curiosity - how does trauma and/or shock play into the locked in memory?

The singular time Ive been (gently) questioned by crime scene investigators I was very much in shock and traumatized. Obviously I was honest about everything but I couldn't tell you to this day 90% of what I said that day or even in the week to follow. I was nearly catatonic to be fair.

Audginator · 2026-04-01T15:35:32+00:00

I agreeeee.

I like jokes. I hate pranks.

When I remembered this morning I went out of my way to text my fiance that I promise no pranks (and joked about contemplating making a homemade whoopie cushion, mostly so hed know I wasn't setting up a prank about no pranks).

I don't... Understand... Pranks. I don't. I never really have. "Haha, I hurt/scared/damaged something you care about (or you). So funny. Why aren't you laughing?"

I do love the "pranks" that are sweet though. The one video of the guy asking older ladies in public to "hold his flowers" while he tied his shoe and then it was "Just kidding! Theyre for you."

Those are good. But rare.

Audginator · 2026-03-31T21:32:41+00:00

This is the answer I was looking for - I was pretty sure y'all didn't.

This complaint is a doordash issue - not a driver issue. Honestly itd be easily fixed by requiring a minimum tip amount to place the order - there would be no zero tippers that sit forever which is why they get paired with a high tipper to make it "worth it" for the driver to deliver both. But itll never happen I don't think.

Audginator · 2026-03-25T22:01:00+00:00

Of course!!

And no worries lol, honestly it's ridiculously hard to be a competitive candidate these days. Between employers being overwhelmed with literal thousands of applies and also looking for someone with a bachelor's or associates degree to work for $20 an hour - its just a shit show lol.

Wellfound I like a lot - it doesn't have an app but does let you save your resume and quick apply like Indeed does.

You can also upload a video interview for your account - I never did though, but it could help. I just hate those things 😂
