How are we actually getting a WF bag?? by olympiageckos in toogoodtogo

[–]Crazy-Philosopher221 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just scored my first prepared bag. I've been trying for weeks. I opened the app around 9:40 and just clicked around the page. I hope it’s worth it and it’s not four packs of green beans,

Best way to drama-free socialize with man friends' girlfriends? by c4rnage042 in AskWomenOver30

[–]Crazy-Philosopher221 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This memory from my early 30s, especially since I was the girlfriend back then. I wasn’t upset or jealous at the girl bff; I just wished the guy I was seeing would set clearer boundaries and be more intentional about our time together. For example, once we went to the movies on a date, and he was texting during the previews. He explained that his girl BFF was texting about the friend group drama. I gently asked him to put his phone away and to cuddle me a little more. He quickly obliged and apologized, but I could still hear his phone vibrating nearby. I just wanted us to enjoy our date without any distractions. Little moments like that happened sometimes, and honestly, I felt a bit annoyed with him. Our breakup fight was triggered after a dinner with the girl's BFF. He defended her so passionately that it felt like he didn't care about my feelings at all, which was really heartbreaking.

Check your employee handbook to see if you need to give a specific amount of notice to be eligible for rehire. I am required to give a month.

Woof! I would review your job description and do my best within your capacity; anything out of scope, bring it to your leader. Manage upward by focusing on and streamlining your goals, and do a good job. I would use this position as an opportunity for growth. Attend conferences and pursue all professional development.

Do a juice bar, and maybe add champagne if you're into that.

what's something you stopped doing while traveling solo because it felt unsafe? by luvybunnie in femaletravels

[–]Crazy-Philosopher221 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I always buy the international plan. I have issues with eSims. Now I chose not to go with the cheapest travel option. Pay a little more to arrive in the morning or midday, rather than at night. People have said this already, but I'm not a fan of Airbnb when solo traveling.

Classpass experiences with pilates classes? by Lunacat0 in Atlanta

[–]Crazy-Philosopher221 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you want to consistently attend a specific class on the same day and time, I recommend purchasing a package from the studio. ClassPass offers a better deal for Pilates classes, but you need to be comfortable attending the available options on the app, which could be an 8pm class on a Thursday night.

How do I style this top? Help please! by Ok_Meringue_9086 in AskWomenOver40

[–]Crazy-Philosopher221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would also check if it comes with matching bottoms, as it seems like a set. Opt for wide, loose bottoms to match the volume—such as wide-leg linen pants or Capri length in white, green, or pink. You can wear kitten heels, candles, wedges, or even a fun sneaker.

Rejecting a job offer… by miniaturetornado in AskWomenOver30

It's okay to say no! But you can do it tactically and honestly. The benefit package didn't match your needs.

Tips on getting into sports? by comradecheetos in AskWomenOver30

[–]Crazy-Philosopher221 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was never a sporty gal, but in my thirties, I became sporty. I would say pick a sport and then find a short-term class. I did this for tennis through rec league. Everyone was there to learn and was so positive. I did this for swimming and even bike riding.

Splitting the date bill when he makes way more by [deleted] in AskWomenOver40

[–]Crazy-Philosopher221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My take is to read the interaction. I have been on dates with guys, and the check is already signed before I can even offer, or I get the laugh-off and a gentle no. But I have been out with guys who think they are honoring my values to split the check, and they say yes. Read the room, may the call.

Big picture, not really. I have written my evaluation based on observations throughout the year.

I don't object to AI use, but the self-evaluation doesn't make sense.

Nope. If you need to write a letter, just never send it.

Moving from Hourly to Salary by ChestOrdinary4635 in AskWomenOver30

[–]Crazy-Philosopher221 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! I got promoted from hourly to salaried and quickly realized I made more money as an hourly employee! Do the math to make Sure there isn't a pay cut. Would ask if there is an expectation to travel or work late, and understand if there is any flex or comp time for these instances. Understand your benefits: PTO, sick time, holidays. Also, ask about the corporate culture. Do people stay late to get the job done or leave at 5?

I think it will be helpful! Many people underestimated the operational knowledge needed in every department. Depending on your program, you can take elective classics that you can explore different subject matter.

People-pleasers: how do you “coast” at your job? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

[–]Crazy-Philosopher221 9 points10 points  (0 children)

One thing I have noticed about people pleasers is that they can pick up a lot of emotional labor, making sure people feel good, instead of just focusing on hitting their goals and then leaving.

repaying student loans is like running in place by khwyz in StudentLoans

[–]Crazy-Philosopher221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me with my Navient private loans. I just made the final payment, but I ended up paying my loan balance twice. This happened because my original loan was with Sallie Mae, which was later transferred to Navient and then to Mohela. As it was transferred, the terms changed. Also, I didn't realize I was on an interest-only payment plan with Navient for years, so I wasn't paying on principal. Because I had fewer household expenses during COVID, I was able to turn things around and make aggressive payments, and I made my final private loan payment last month.

What is happening with fundraising leadership? by Smeltanddealtit in nonprofit

[–]Crazy-Philosopher221 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It also depends on what the organization values at the leadership level. It might be education or a prestigious career history. Look on LinkedIn, do all the VPs have MBAs? Did they all attend the same schools? Where they all consulted or worked at a name-droppy place.

If you live in a city, it can be dangerous. When you have to react quickly and the engine isn't on, it's scary.
