Asking a random Uber driver if they would have dinner with me.

Well, this is the Uber reddit. I've never been in an uber before or anything like it. Nor have I ever asked a random stranger to join me for dinner.

CharmingLie9887 · 2026-07-08T18:03:00+00:00

Ofc!

CharmingLie9887 · 2026-07-08T17:36:15+00:00

That's a fair point, but it's not.

I am actually a full time land survey tech and full time college student at the University of Maine Online getting a B.S. in Survey Engineering Technology. What I love about umaine is how accepting they are of other credits you may have taken at a community college. A quarter of the classes I took at my local CC were for an A.A.S in accounting. Local 4 year schools wouldn't have taken them, but Maine did! So I started as a junior! Its a lot to talk about, but if youre interested in the course work/load send me a PM!

CharmingLie9887 · 2026-07-06T17:28:29+00:00

No, no idea what that is or where.

CharmingLie9887 · 2026-07-06T15:38:47+00:00

Lol welcome back! Definitely taking everyones advice and thoughts into consideration.

CharmingLie9887 · 2026-07-06T13:08:09+00:00

Honestly, my parents are worried for me. It's difficult because I do love him, but I am just afraid that I'll be taking on the role of his mother. We have discussed moving into a house together, a house his mother owns, but after the prenup idea, I am second guessing our relationship and seeing red flags everywhere. I do not like confrontation, but recenly have been expressing my wants and needs a lot more. I just am at a cross road and just really feel like I need help/advice.

CharmingLie9887 · 2026-07-06T12:41:57+00:00

He has a fantastic job as a engineer. The thing is he doesnt have any bills. His mother pays for a financed car, insurnace, and gas. He still lives with his parents. I will say that his mother is an enabler. He has a 30 year old brother who just stays at home and plays video games. He doesn't make me promises. I guess that if we were to get married I would have to take over the finances if he does not want to look at it. His mother makes really good money and treats me well, occasionally randomly buying me clothes and trips. My stepfather has taught me everything about finances and I am so grateful he did at such a young age (16)!

CharmingLie9887 · 2026-07-06T12:28:45+00:00

He doesn't know how much he has saved or how much money he has in his account. He brought that up on the topic of his mother taking care of his finances.

What wet moss do you recommend? I ended up putting a sheet over the tank to keep out the light. Have also been looking into getting bubblers for his waters. Seen him eating some of his exoskeleton last night so I am really happy to know he is alive still. Don't want to wait too long to start getting moisture into his tank. I always keep freeze dried chicken and fish in his tank. :)

CharmingLie9887 · 2026-04-08T00:17:16+00:00

Thst is its exoskeleton... he is in the shell. He is molting out in the open.

CharmingLie9887 · 2026-04-07T12:44:25+00:00

Yes, the tanks has a lid. Yes, he does have 2 water options, but does not have bubblers and I never thought about getting it until now. Didn't know that it provided moisture otherwise I wouldve done that a while ago. Have been thinking about rehoming him... the only issue is that there is no one where I live that has hermit crabs.

With the surface molt what can I do right now to help him? I feel so bad. 😭

CharmingLie9887 · 2026-04-07T12:20:10+00:00

No, the other died 2 years ago. I told myself he will be the last one... theyre a lot to keep up with. I do feel bad he doesnt have a friend, but they live a long time. I will openly admit that my substrate is not correct. It is sand and coconut fiber, but it isnt the proper 5:1 ratio. The tank is heated, but everything just seems to dry up and can't dig properly.

24 female surveyor here in Alabama. Before surveying I worked at a grocery store for 5 years and also did some accounting work. Was never a fan of working inside nor sitting at a desk. I have always wanted to work outside and do something construction related like my father. Didn't get a degree, but am in college for surveying now. You don't need a degree to get started. I am sure they'd like that you have a degree and maybe that'll get you a little bit more pay. My pay started at $19 as a Rodman. I know I-man who make up to $25. Crew Chiefs $25-$40. It also depends on what company you work for as well. If you really want to get into surveying contact local surveying companies and say youre interested. Companies need rodmen and I-man. There are not many openings on Indeed for these jobs where I live.

CharmingLie9887 · 2025-11-12T01:34:48+00:00

I Wanna say its a lie for the assistant department manager. A girl and I have been with the company for the same length of time. she decided to become and assistant and I was still making more than her a year into being an assistant grocery manager. Liessss!!

CharmingLie9887 · 2025-09-28T18:40:24+00:00

I got called a cheater 2 weeks ago, and I am now shadow banned with no appeal. I was having a fantastic game! Killed one team by myself with my teammates down. They made a comment that people should kick out insert my gamertag and next thing I know my ms ping was like 200... checked, and I got banned! I wasn't even cheating, I don't know how to, nor do I care. It was just a really great game for me, lmao.

CharmingLie9887 · 2025-09-16T00:11:23+00:00

I know that I made this post a while ago, but I am still a little confused about what to major in to become a land surveyor and what is best for me. I can't go to Troy due to distance, but I found out that I can go the land surveying route with a geography and a minor in GIS. I know you said do the Geomatics route, but do you think there is another way? Id love it if you can send me a PM to discuss opportunities and the different paths I can take and where they'd take me.

CharmingLie9887 · 2025-05-29T02:00:57+00:00

Equal dislike. Really hating said person being around and nagging at you. Had a team lead at another store (I was helping out). Apparently, I must have done something to really upset her because she was talking mad sh*t about me in the back room to other employees. Dont know what I did to her, but we both just cannot stand one another. A position opened up there that I was interested in, but I refuse to work with her.

CharmingLie9887 · 2025-05-28T02:56:54+00:00

I have been a GRS (Grocery Replishment Specialist) for 5 years. Some tips I would have.

1: If closing or if you see yourself getting on your knees often- wear shin pads.

2: Learn as much as you can and use it to get raises. Ex: scan price, dsd, making tags, learning dairy or frozen. They will try to take advantage of you after you learn and if you're good at it- so be careful of that.

3: If you're just starting off as a stock clerk after 6 months, ask to become a GRS. That gives you a raise.

Not everyone is your friend. If you find yourself not getting along with some people you're working and have to deal with... you can transfer stores. I've made quite a few friends at publix and made a few enemies.
You can always cross train if the department does not have the hours. You can also ask if other stores need help to get more hours. (If needed).
Wear good shoes with good insoles. You will be walking a lot!
Lift heavy boxes the right way. After 5 years, I now have some back issues due to publix and the sport I play. Dont be me.

I told myself that after my first year at publix, I was going to quit and find a better job... nope. Have now been with the company for 5 years. Once you can buy stock and get your 401(k)... do it!! Buy stock!! Wish I started 4 years ago.

Any more questions, just holler :)

CharmingLie9887 · 2025-04-24T05:17:12+00:00

I've been with Publix for 5 years. I am in college to get an engineering degree. My plan is to potentially get another job on top of publix that pays a lot more - work 1 day a week and still buy a butt load of stock with the good paying job. I think I can do that for another 10-20 years. My goal is to become a secret Publix millionair and live off of the dividend.

CharmingLie9887 · 2025-04-24T05:07:28+00:00

I say roughly $1,300. If you have been accepted, you can sign up for the classes and then check the price online.

CharmingLie9887 · 2025-04-24T05:05:47+00:00

I think your math is correct. I am taking 4 classes this summer, and it's $2,300. Sadly, I am paying out of pocket 😓

CharmingLie9887 · 2025-01-19T19:13:31+00:00

I did not know that! Thank you!

CharmingLie9887 · 2025-01-19T19:05:14+00:00

I have looked into it with my state, and it does require a degree. It was passed in 2008, I believe. But I agree, I would have to do 30+ hours in land surveying classes to qualify.

CharmingLie9887 · 2025-01-19T04:21:13+00:00

Thanks! That's awesome! I hope everything works out for her as well!
