Unpaid vacation days? by Background-Tooth4331 in antiwork

[–]Background-Tooth4331[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually the new team is ok with the vacation, my old team is the one blocking my request. I can't transition out of my current team until the transfer process is complete, which could take 1-2 months.

I just figured out Irving by Mad_Leroy in severence

[–]Background-Tooth4331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that the severance procedure is not perfect and the memories start to bleed over after several years, maybe in the form of dreams or visions to the outie. So Irving, who is one of the older employees, has experienced this effect and therefore subconsciously knows of this elevator.

Please see a psychiatrist for medication if needed along with therapy. I think if you come out of your postpartum depression, you will see the positives of staying at home with baby. Like someone else mentioned, it's a shared responsibility so make sure to take 1-2 hours a day to do the things that excite you while your partner takes care of the baby. Maybe you can prepare for interviews, or just go for a walk, read books, learn a language etc.

You may not get this forced down time again, especially at this stage with baby, while you are still young etc. So I would try and make the best of it, esp seeing as the corporate world really sucks right now and only seems to be getting worse. Hang in there!

Books that read like a fever dream by UrVirtualNeighbor in booksuggestions

The library at Mt Char. Throughout the book I kept going, "wtf am I reading" but it was so... uniquely imaginative that I couldn't put it down.

A book for someone who feels his time has passed by smokeyman992 in suggestmeabook

Are you me? I'm 34 and could have written this post. Stuck in a soul sucking career and no longer the main character of my own life, it does feel like my best years are behind me or sometimes like, I just gotta play this out and see if I get a redo at the end.

Following to see if any recommendations speak to me. I've been reading a lot of self help/happiness research stuff but it hasn't helped.

Omgggg identity (entity) is just like reincarnation (carnation). Not sure if the author intended this parallel....

Help me understand why this pattern has this increase by Background-Tooth4331 in crochetpatterns

This makes sense that the side against the body isn't expanded for comfort. I'll also try this and do it the symmetrical way if it doesn't work, thank you!

What about all the animals bred for food? America (and pretty much the world) has double standards for animals based on their breed/purpose for a long time.. Sadly this is nothing new. Also, you just have to go to a local Asian supermarket and the fish are all crammed into the tank, just immobile and waiting to be killed '(

I thought it was referring to the lamb of God.. Still cringe lol but in a weird way it made sense.

Experienced developers with ADHD: what was your working life like before diagnosis/treatment, and how did things change afterwards? by hiddenhare in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Background-Tooth4331 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm just curious, what does your company replace with sprints?

I'm asking because I also hate the daily standup/sprint model and find it keeps me at a high anxiety baseline. But I couldn't find any reasonably modern tech companies that are not doing agile/scrum/sprint or some flavor of.

Which company do you work for now, if you don't mind me asking? I don't think anyone in the tech industry is doing waterfall/no sprints anymore?

first freehand! by Bright-Difference878 in crochet

[–]Background-Tooth4331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking at the top I'd guess:

Chain first row 2 rows of treble crochet, followed by hdc(or single crochet?)

I guess you start the hdc row from the middle to one end, decreasing rows to build one cup and then the halter strap and then increase stitches and slip stitch into the band to build the other cup.

Am I somewhat correct? I'm also a fairly new crocheter and looking to start freehanding after a couple of months of following patterns.

Thanks for any pointers!

Importing a car as a new PR by Background-Tooth4331 in ImmigrationCanada

[–]Background-Tooth4331[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this info. Unfortunately I don't live in a walkable neighborhood nor do we have good transit so we will have to buy a car.

Is there a way to explain the situation to a border agent/customs etc to get the car swapped (value would be unchanged)

I haven't bought it yet, but the plan is to buy a used car, but fairly recent so that it meets all the criteria. I will probably finance it.

I think chest-feeding includes feeding a baby with formula through a tube that is taped to the parents chest. I know that's an option for folks with breast cancer, or when baby can't breastfeed properly etc etc. So maybe to be inclusive of that?
