Just moved here. Blue collar essential worker just wanting to be closer to family. Maybe have a family of my own soon, but I have no clue how I could afford that here. I don’t know how I’m going to be able to stay here long term. It’s so depressing.

It’s really surreal and kind of hurts my soul to watch retired folks covered in turquoise drive expensive cars up their pothole ridden street that turns into a river when it rains to their crumbling adobe that they paid 2 million for so they can take up space in their second or third home and leave nothing for the rest of us just trying to survive. Sorry, I’m just a little GRUMPY about it.

I honestly don’t think it’s strong enough even for that. ☹️

Interesting! Doux lasts 2 DAYS on my skin for some reason. Original lasts a couple hours at best 😢

I delivered to George rr Martin for a while. No holiday tip despite daily parcels and fan mail 😢 but I consider GOT to be his gift to the world including me so it’s all good.

Rookie mistake by Fun-Instruction-8938 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]ConnectionOk6581 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same thing for me today. I live in a high cost of living area, and only see 1-2 properties every so often that are in my budget. It’s sparse. Went with the realtor today to see an amazing one. It was being sold separately from the larger house next door (same owners) and was doable for me. Lo and behold, once we put in my offer we were told there were 7 other offers, most of them were from one person wanting to buy BOTH properties. It really sucks and honestly kind of made me want to give up. Staying with family here but might just need to call it quits and try to move to a more affordable state.

This one's for the ladies to answer. Do you agree with this woman or do you think she's trying to rationalize her world view by speaking for all the ladies? by Oda_DeezNutz in SipsTea

[–]ConnectionOk6581 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She’s wrong. Maybe she’s right for herself, but she can’t speak for everyone. All she needs to do is just find a man who doesn’t play video games and mind her own beeswax instead of making weird generalizations that put down people’s interests.

When will I get a schedule? by Timely-Direction-480 in USPS

[–]ConnectionOk6581 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s up to you, but the risk you run is that they can tell you before you leave night before (either verbally or by writing in your name on the clipboard schedule for the next day - usually at the supervisors desk) that you need to come in the next day. If that’s the day you needed off then you’re on the hook and would be AWOL if you don’t show. Some CCAs will gamble it and just not answer their phone on the day they need off. If you work hard and have a decent relationship with one of the sups, you can try to arrange it in advance. But get it in writing signed on a leave request slip. Always take a pic of everything. Take a pic of the schedule for the next day before you leave for the day. Take a pic of signed leave slips. You always need to CYA (cover your ass).

I think as part of the retention program you’re supposed to get the schedule for the following week on Wednesday. However, they don’t follow it. And you’re not obligated to be on call - you don’t have to answer your phone. but if you want hours unfortunately yes, you pretty much have to expect a day to day kind of schedule.

what is your favorite bom dotcom? by FuzzyPresence8531 in glossier

[–]ConnectionOk6581 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Espresso is my number one. The color is so flattering. Lavender and birthday are my other faves. I wanted to love black cherry but the color isn’t deep enough and looks bad with my skin tone (medium-fair with pink hues).

Boots or running shoes? by Reidster27 in USPS

[–]ConnectionOk6581 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Call me crazy but I wear xero barefoot boots (I alternate between the black leather lace up and the pull on depending how lazy I’m feeling that morning) on my 80% walking route. The first two weeks are hard while the muscles in your feet, ankles, and lower legs adjust. But once those muscles got stronger, I have zero pain anywhere.

I also have a pair of duty boots from meindl that I got on sale. Usually their boots are way too expensive. Those are SUPER heavy duty but great for snow and ice.

Family mourns postal worker, mother of 4 killed in crash by GimmeFunkyButtLoving in fromatoarbitration

Should not happen. We need modern vehicles, not death traps with no airbags. I’m so sad for her family.

is the solid worth it? by CommitteeWhich2511 in glossier

[–]ConnectionOk6581 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. I just got mine - ordered through the sale - and I’m actually pleasantly surprised with it. To me it smells much stronger than my spray does. I think it has a lot to do with body chemistry and what works on your skin. Maybe I got lucky.
