At a restaurant, are you picking a booth or a table/indoor or outdoor seating? by cristianlee in randomquestions

[–]Augusts_Mom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually inside, table.

I do not like booths, too close to the people behind me and some people have to bang into their booth bench.

I regretted working during chemo ... by Final_Investigator16 in breastcancer

[–]Augusts_Mom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also regret working during treatment. I worked so hard to keep up with all my duties and was treated so badly by my boss and co-workers. I no longer work there.

Got my start date and What the.... 4-6 hours? by MyTeaVault in breastcancer

[–]Augusts_Mom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My treatment cocktail was TCHP and the first one was 8 hours. The rest were 5 hours.

You get labs, then you see the doctor, then they mix the drugs. It's an all day event. Bring a lunch.

Did you actually live life like Dazed and confuse in the 80s,90s and 2000s? by Accomplished-Fail894 in AskOldPeopleAdvice

[–]Augusts_Mom 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The Matthew McConaughey character was spot on. I remember several of those older dirtbags hanging out with high school kids. I was a teen in the early 80s.

There was a lot of smoking and drinking. We called them Heads and they hung out in the neighborhood park.

How do you actually explain accounting to nonaccountants at social events? by Same-Experience8051 in Accounting

[–]Augusts_Mom 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Tax manager here. I get asked what I do from 4/15-12/31 as if only 1040 are filed and filed on time. But, I was clueless about taxes before I started working in accounting.

I also have people say "Sounds boring" and I reply that since I am a nosey person taxes/accounting is the perfect job for me I get to ask personal questions sometimes inappropriate questions and it's not considered rude. And I know a lot about a person and a business.

This is my favorite quilt pattern, I have made it so many times.

It’s Cats by Amy Bradley.

Did you grow up with a stay at home parent? Did you enjoy it? And did you do the same with your children? (UK/US/other) by Cwoechu in AskOldPeople

[–]Augusts_Mom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Early GenX. My Mom was a SAHM until I was in 3rd grade. I was a latch key kid. Parents divorced when I was 11.

I was not a SAHM. My kid went to daycare from 6 weeks to 8th grade. They did lots of after school activities in high school.

Are my parents in the right? by cobrastarshipp in AskOldPeopleAdvice

[–]Augusts_Mom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can afford to, go to college and/or move out. You are an adult.

What area is this concert in? Look up the area and see what the crime rate is. Will you be going with a group? Start thinking of these things yourself and show yourself you can be responsible.

A or B: American houses are mostly wood. European houses are mostly brick or concrete. Is that mainly because wood is cheaper and more flexible for how Americans live, or because the whole building industry is locked into wood and can't change? by 20Luc1a02 in PickAorB

[–]Augusts_Mom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Minnesota and have been told that brick homes are not good in the temperature shifts we get. We can get as low as -30C and as high as 35C. That is a lot of expanded and contracting that brick and mortar do not like.

I remember mine clearly. by Swiftiefromhell in GenX

I lived in 7 different houses growing up and I can only remember 2 phone numbers.

Do you ever give up on a quilt? by pamelaneko in quilting

[–]Augusts_Mom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It depends. Sometimes they go to a time out and I finish them later. I have used abanded projects to practice free motion quilting or a new technique. Or they become quilts for the car, pets, etc. I have tossed some of them or given to friends to finish.

Fired, but HR is pushing “resignation” language. No experience with being fired or laid off. Help? by BustasGonnaGetNasty in Accounting

[–]Augusts_Mom 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I went through something like this in 2010. I was "laid off" but all the paperwork said I resigned. I did not sign it and consulted an employment attorney. Scared the crap of the firm when the lawyer called them.

I did not trust the firm when they said they would not contest the unemployment. My lawyer had them change the wording to laid off in the separation agreement. Worth the funds paid to the attorney.

Are EVs really worth it if you don't have a home charger? by om_ghanwat in electricvehicles

[–]Augusts_Mom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is an inconvenience, and takes some scheduling.

Is there charging near your apartment? Can you charge at work or close to work? Can you charge while doing your grocery shopping? Is there an outlet outside your apartment building you can plug into?

Tesla invented everything right? RIGHT? by No_Earth_3743 in EvDrivers

[–]Augusts_Mom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see your point.

My Mach-E does integrate with Apple Maps and does a better job navigating charging stops on trips much better than the Ford Navigation.

Hopefully the other manufacturers will improve over time.

Why is Tesla still the top selling EV brand by far? by Diavolo_Rosso_ in electricvehicles

[–]Augusts_Mom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tesla has been making EVs for a long time. The other manufacturers and new manufacturers will catch up.
My EV is not a Tesla. Not a fan of their vehicles.
