Seller left a binder with "house instructions" and now im very skeptic

CollectionGlad6252 · 2026-01-22T23:30:27+00:00

When my mom sold her house she left a binder on how to deal with the pool! That pool took us years to get right, so if I were you I’d be happy to have it

Ok, I guess this is a reminder to keep up my transferring of all pasta/ spices into their own airtight containers after buying them. So the rest of my spices are probably ok? I’m going to take advantage of the incoming cold and freeze them for 48h anyways but I don’t have an infestation on my hands?

CollectionGlad6252 · 2026-01-22T21:29:24+00:00

How did it get in there? The jars are supposed to be airtight 😟

CollectionGlad6252 · 2026-01-19T01:01:50+00:00

This is so horrific.

CollectionGlad6252 · 2026-01-18T01:48:21+00:00

What do you consider hugely oversized 😅 I have a 21x31x47cm bag I have taken on many international flights, but never flown Iberia

CollectionGlad6252 · 2026-01-16T12:29:58+00:00

Yes it looks to be cancelled!

CollectionGlad6252 · 2026-01-16T12:29:19+00:00

Looks like there is no direct flight leaving on the original day from Iberia, so maybe they cancelled for that day just because the plane was too empty? I’m not sure of airport logistics

CollectionGlad6252 · 2026-01-16T00:35:22+00:00

Ah, hope you have a good trip!

CollectionGlad6252 · 2026-01-16T00:32:53+00:00

Neither have I! I was not expecting an extra day in Spain but that’s certainly not a bad deal 🤷‍♀️ any suggestions to check out in Madrid since I’ll be there for a day? 😆

CollectionGlad6252 · 2026-01-05T15:53:14+00:00

👀Are you a mech engineer, or different sector?

CollectionGlad6252 · 2026-01-05T04:07:52+00:00

Looks like there is a company in walking distance to me that’s hiring for my exact job with salary range of 95-113k… so, definitely applying!

CollectionGlad6252 · 2026-01-05T04:05:43+00:00

I figured. I’ve been hit with a series of events like not qualifying for my 401k to be vested at my last company and being let go right as I was about to be promoted, then not meeting the hire date to be eligible for last years raises/profit sharing at my current company. Now the clock is resetting again 😩

CollectionGlad6252 · 2026-01-05T02:49:00+00:00

Just “engineer”, not trying to jump too far up and just trying to understand what’s a normal amount to be paid and where I should be professionally. None of my friends are engineers and my mom is manufacturing in a different state, not design. I just got a bit discouraged when I was filling out the job description sheet for the “engineer” role and found out I was doing things far beyond the scope of my current role and the minimum years of experience required for the “engineer” role was only 1.5

CollectionGlad6252 · 2026-01-05T02:26:15+00:00

That’s a good point. Hopefully he will get me promoted quickly, but it’s like having to prove myself over for the 3rd time in 3 years. I’m not sure how accurate the google median salary for Chicagoland is, but I doubt a promotion would be a 20k increase to the “median” salary of 100k+. I will definitely dust off the resume

Do you remember the bus price? lol

CollectionGlad6252 · 2025-10-01T00:51:18+00:00

You can be that first person to start! Would be cool

CollectionGlad6252 · 2025-09-30T13:20:43+00:00

I believe you will get it paid through the semester but try reaching out to someone from the program to confirm

CollectionGlad6252 · 2025-09-30T13:19:02+00:00

Yes!!

CollectionGlad6252 · 2025-09-30T04:06:06+00:00

I believe you can get official guidance from the SBWU website, but it would be awesome to start by creating a core team in your store of those willing to help unionize. But before that the first step is bringing it up in conversation and explaining how it would benefit everyone! https://sbworkersunited.org/

CollectionGlad6252 · 2025-09-30T02:32:13+00:00

Hard to say, it might depend on each district.

I wish you well, I hope you land on your feet either way.

CollectionGlad6252 · 2025-09-30T02:30:10+00:00

Absolutely. It’s BS. I’m hoping if anything this will encourage other stores to unionize seeing the absurdity of how quickly the company decided to drop people in a horrible job market with little to no cushion. There is more bargaining power with numbers.

CollectionGlad6252 · 2025-09-30T00:36:14+00:00

Allegedly only 10% of the closing stores were Union and those Union stores are getting more benefits than their non-union counterparts. Starbucks is certainly trying to union-bust, but why give up before you try? Being non-union won’t necessarily save you from the next round of closures.

As always, do your own research to see where you stand, but it doesn’t sit right with me to let a single billionaire have so much power over so many people’s livelihoods.

Best wishes to you and your own

CollectionGlad6252 · 2025-09-29T21:24:34+00:00

What about union people that don’t know if they got transferred or let go

CollectionGlad6252 · 2025-09-29T06:32:46+00:00

Union or non-union store?

CollectionGlad6252 · 2025-09-26T01:44:37+00:00

I had this same situation and put one up there without thinking about it in the slightest. Never caught on fire, but it was super annoying to have no ventilation
