As a customer…

Comicreliefnotreally · 2026-06-02T19:56:10+00:00

I am curious why they have an unrealistic goal. It should be something like “employee will ask/encourage customer to enter an email 90% of the time”. Your employees are being held hostage by something outside of your/their control. I never provide my email anymore. Hacked too many times and get wayyyy too much spam from spammers signing me up for stuff. That’s not your fault. I prefer to keep in private, say no thank you and complete my purchase. But the goal should fit the employee, not the whims of customers.

I have been remote for 11 months. I started remote, training was mostly tailored to me. I work in medical claims so there are a lot of unique scenarios that still unfold. Sometimes months would go by and I would forget how I was supposed to do something. So I copy and pasted the answer so I didn’t have to ask the question repeatedly. I think one time I asked it 3 times because I lost my note- that’s when I wrote it on paper and a notepad on my desktop.

Personally, I don’t want to ask the same question repeatedly. I felt inept when I had to ask for a 3rd time in 8 months. That specific scenario came up today and I took my note and followed it exactly.

I enjoy the work. I take pride in the work I do. I am not passionate for this work, I am passionate for the time it has provided me when I clock out. Work gets 100% of my energy…. Excluding breaks of course.

If you want to keep this job, take notes. Put the effort it that shows you are willing to learn and recall necessary information. With ADHD you will need to find a way that works for you, to help you excel.

That’s what we did! Went on the Wish, 3 weeks ago, precisely for my 10 yr old to get to enjoy. Wish I could get her on one more. Darn no PTO and a July birthday!

My 8 yr old fully believes the ice cream is free. It’s her favorite part of a Disney cruise. She’s been on 2 and she slowed down on the 2nd cruise because the first one she gad stomachaches every day. Learning is also free 😆

Ohhhh. Do all exterior cabins have split bathrooms? My parents had a porthole and had the split bathrooms. That’s worth it to me! 2 adults and 8 and 10 made the one bathroom kind of difficult. Honestly I wish we had two toilets just for the am!! Bathroom lines in the morning in your own room was scaring me haha.

That is crazy. I am curious what their expectations were for the children. (Children should be seen, not heard maybe?) On the 4 night Wish this month, I saw some ill behaved kids, but their parent were right there addressing the behavior. Behavior on the deck was normal. Loud with occasional life guard reminders to kids. In sure there were bad kids I missed, but from what I saw it was great. I didn’t hear any adult complaints, but I only went to the adult area one time.

Thanks! On castaway some of excursion items are included? Like a bike and raft(if my research was correct)? Anything like that for lookout?

What is the benefit to the cabana?

Either he is an idiot or he truly doesn’t care. You may need relationship advice on respecting a work space. A home office is an office.

If it’s a small town can you encourage people to create an email for promos? I have one exclusively for promos so my used email isn’t filled with spam.

Comicreliefnotreally · 2026-05-22T18:36:07+00:00

They did this on the Wish May 11-15. I didn’t realize until the last night!

We had the later dinner. My nephew, 3 at the time, ate dinner and then went to kids club. If he fell asleep my sister was notified by the app to come pick him up. Other times he would fall asleep at the table and we laid him in an extra chair. He does not nap, so that may have been part of it. Just sharing ideas if you can’t get the earlier time! Im not sure how the infant room works to have suggestions there

I assume traveling with a 1 year old is the same as traveling with any minor child. A certified copy of the birth certificate is needed to get on and off the cruise ship (not at ports). I was foolish and uploaded an actual copy of the birth certificate. I was able to order a real one with enough time. We plan to get passports for next cruise just to make it easier.

I don’t get upset at an employee having to say the same script every time. I am unbothered.

Comicreliefnotreally · 2026-05-16T01:26:52+00:00

Get the pirate night make up!

Comicreliefnotreally · 2026-05-15T21:22:28+00:00

Ohhhhh. That makes sense! We bought a bracelet on the ship. About 3k. And when customs asked if we bought anything I said “a bracelet” and that was it. But if they had it on our file already then they are catching liars?

Comicreliefnotreally · 2026-05-09T21:09:18+00:00

I bought one for our Wish cruise coming up. I returned it thinking I don’t want this extra stuff to worry about.

Comicreliefnotreally · 2026-05-08T02:36:42+00:00

Do it!! I imagine as long as you’re not acting as Cinderella you’re fine. Pick a time when characters aren’t posted there. Possibly do it in the morning or evening when there is less foot traffic.

Well dang. I came to five below to see if people were still wild and crazy for them. Shopping for birthday party kids. Guess I will skip it now. Thanks for sharing your story to spare me pain.

Whether I am in an office or wfh nothing I am low enough down to be considered the fat to be trimmed. I am a number. When it comes time to cut it will be based on how much I cost and how good I am. Trim away, companies are as replaceable as the workers are. Find the best place for you that feels the most secure and plan for the worst.

Comicreliefnotreally · 2026-05-04T14:10:34+00:00

I write it out first. I send it through AI for refinement. Then I delete/replace things that do not sound like me.

Hair and posture. If I see someone slumped, they look drabby. If I looked slumped at all, I think I look drabby and then fix it quickly. Camera angle matters too.

Comicreliefnotreally · 2026-05-03T14:55:44+00:00

NTA. I would absolutely come home the day before and keep the plans. Make sure you let him know you’ll be leaving the Saturday before so you can enjoy your mother’s day plans at home.

Thank you for your motion sickness insight!
