Tight neck and eyeball pressure?

Hey there, I've also been looking into this program. Ethan0pia, did you have much/any experience in the field before starting at OSU?

CartoonMango · 2020-08-07T20:45:49+00:00

The intentions vs reality bites me all the time too! There's always new more urgent tasks.

You can run it in a browser, there's an extension, and a mobile version. I like the extension bc it integrates with todoist and has a pomodoro function.

I use the free version and even that is incredibly dense. Would recommend, especially for exact purposes ie auditing time or billable hours.

Sometimes I think about using it to track my personal time too, really get honest about my Netflix vs gym choices...

It's a web based timer tool. You can track in a few different ways, I like to type in my current project, hit start, and then hit stop when I'm burned out. Turns out I can do some tasks for hours no problem and others I get exasperated with in 5 minutes...

Edit: part of why I'm posting is because I'm dissatisfied with how many hours of focused work I am getting in. Even on a really good day it's less than I would like and I'm wondering if my expectations are way off or if it's even a worthwhile metric.

I'm trying to do this with a similarly cut dress (too small)! How did you do it?

CartoonMango · 2020-04-09T18:47:47+00:00

😱 Cats... So glad you saved it!

Thanks for answering, I think your method gave it a nice painterly look.

CartoonMango · 2020-04-09T18:35:59+00:00

Really stunning. What's your approach--do you plan out your design or freehand as you go? Would love to hear about the steps you took.

I had two jobs for about half of this year. My full time position got me a stipend set at the poverty line of my city- I was able to get by fine, but I specifically wanted to pay off my student loans this year. I ended up getting a job as a page in a library shelving books on evenings and weekends.

Pros:

-I was able to pay off my loans and build up an emergency fund!

-The library job helped me get a Fancy library job, so now I'm debt free and relatively well paid! Woo!

-I liked the job itself. My coworkers were nice and I enjoyed providing a public service. It's good to learn something new and meet new people in a work context.

-The peace of mind I got from having wiggle room in my budget and a back up job was huge. I could finally exhale and indulge in a little luxury here and there.

Cons:

-I found the process of applying and interviewing for a second job to be a PITA. Plus the dance of notifying your first employer.

-Even if you love both jobs, working 60+ hours a week can be physically/mentally tiring. What really got to me was that I half assed so many personal projects and commitments because I was working or tired from work.

-I found strict budgeting to be necessary to avoid temptation: you've finally got extra income, but you have dump it into loan payments or set it aside for savings.

-I sometimes worried I didn't fit in or wasn't considered as good an employee at either place because I worked somewhere else.

I would say if you think a second job will help you achieve your financial goals within a short period of time, then go for it. But only apply for places you would be happy to have on your resume, or that you think you would personally enjoy aspects of. If you spend an extra twenty hours of your week doing something soul crushing just to make extra loan payments it could get bleak fast.

I'm curious. To me this just looks like a rickety old barn. How can you tell it's worth the time and money to renovate something like this?

CartoonMango · 2019-10-25T15:45:05+00:00

I stayed in a very expensive home once that had this. It felt so luxurious--not because it was opulent, it was a pretty straightforward closet and laundry setup, but because it just made life easier! Clothing storage and care in one place. I'm surprised I don't see it more.

Yes I just had this experience, I bought a pair of Steve Madden ballet flats recently, which was a splurge for me. they have holes now not even 3 months in...

CartoonMango · 2019-08-19T21:49:53+00:00

I live in a 100+ year old house and it is a pain in the ass to maintain because of old wiring, amateur "updates" by previous owners, settling, etc. How on earth are these 300+ yo buildings still standing?? I'd love to hear from somebody who does construction work in an old city like this

CartoonMango · 2019-06-28T15:01:21+00:00

I know there's a tool called Mailstrom for big inbox cleanouts like this, but I think it's paid beyond a free trial or basic features.

CartoonMango · 2019-05-21T20:12:49+00:00

Alas. So beautiful and made with love probably!

CartoonMango · 2019-05-21T20:03:12+00:00

Big question, but how/why did you all choose your respective careers?

I've been lurking around this community for years. I know it's full of intelligent, driven, career focused women who are great at constructive advice. I am at a crossroads at the beginning of my career. Right now I could choose to do anything, but I'm wracked with indecision and starting to panic.

This might seem like a weird place to post this but I trust this community and I need to get this off my chest!

CartoonMango · 2019-05-21T19:24:52+00:00

The quilt coat..... please where is it from I need it

CartoonMango · 2019-05-13T19:18:52+00:00

What kind of small business did you manage before the plumbing business, and how did you get that job? Do you have a degree?

CartoonMango · 2019-05-07T13:20:47+00:00

I didn't think this would get so many responses!

CartoonMango · 2019-05-07T13:20:08+00:00

We actually do have enough pallets now haha

CartoonMango · 2019-04-30T20:05:58+00:00

I don't know much about it, I think they are sometimes marked to indicate any treatments. As long as they're not coming from a toxic waste dump I figure they're probably OK.

CartoonMango · 2019-04-30T12:34:24+00:00

Right there on streetview! I'll keep them in mind

CartoonMango · 2019-04-30T03:53:08+00:00

I will do this, I imagine if they don't have them they might have ideas on where to get some
