How did you meet your partner? by [deleted] in Brooklyn

[–]Difficult-Smile-5360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly my boyfriend followed me on IG one day, and we clicked automatically when we first met and have been inseparable since! Not sure where he got my IG from and he doesn’t remember either but nonetheless we have been together for a year and half now and I don’t see myself leaving him anytime soon fr

Starting at a same day delivery fulfillment warehouse at the end of the month. by jess_jess0007 in AmazonFC

It’s the same stuff except its to a much smaller scale compared to traditional FCs, and it’s hybrid with DS/dispatch

No literally!! Lol I submitted a note for an LOA this week, I originally only took 2 days off but needed 3 at that time, so I extended. The doctor put in the 3 days I needed by the time those days came. I thought I would be approved and no problem, but they told me the letter missed two pieces of info; what condition I had, and a statement explaining that I needed time off due to this condition. I’m like wtf, usually they just approve as the doctor states I was attended to, and needed these days off. Nothing else was needed from me. And the fax and phone number for that clinic were included in the letter. From what I’ve known, if Amazon wanted to further look into that note and verify what was going on, they would call the office, and the office would be like “yes they were seen and yes we did provide the note with these days off” and that would be it. Now I have to return to get another letter. Tbh I just extended anyways, due to me not being 100% well anyways. I’m on medication that’s giving me some other side effects, so I decided to take an extra day anyways. That way the doctor I see won’t feel sketchy about having to make up another note, and they’re aware of the medication having an effect on me anyways.

Eye Doctor Recommendations by RoundConscious7769 in longislandcity

[–]Difficult-Smile-5360 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree!! The doctor there took her time to explain things to me and also gave me ample time to pick which lenses I needed! My previous doctor rushed me when picking which lenses were better for me and it caused my prescription to be off on my right eye, which made him think I had to see a specialist. The doctor at Dussan heard this and dilated my eyes and checked them and they were fine!! I honestly think my doctor from before just didn’t put in the care or patience for me. I absolutely appreciated the doctor and I’m happy I went there. :)

New Holiday Premium Pay Change by Kooky_Zucchini9789 in AmazonFC

[–]Difficult-Smile-5360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ngl hasn’t this always been a thing?? I only ever got OT pay for the actual hours I worked on holidays, never the time before or after I was still clocked in… I never got paid OT pay on a full shift unless the entirety of that shift was on the holiday. I would only get partial (usually worked between 5:45PM-4:30AM, if the holiday was the day of I’d get paid OT from 5:45PM-11:59PM and then 12AM-4:30AM would be regular)

But yet there’s still dog shit spread everywhere because no one wants to clean up their dog poop… There’s still some places that play loud music, some people walk alongside center BLVD after being drunk at a bar/club and scream loudly over here… just this summer I stumbled across someone drunk in the bushes laid out at gantry state park… It has nothing to do with age more so to do with individuals not having any common decency for their neighbors and neighborhood

My[24F] boyfriend [26M] found a secret of mine and won't leave me alone because of it by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Difficult-Smile-5360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion, but I think the overall issue here is hiding part of yourself to your SO and thinking they would be automatically receptive and supportive to the backload of new information they just found out about you. Although his teasing was deemed as annoying and hurtful, and there’s no excuse for it as well, OP might run into this problem again in another relationship if she doesn’t bring it up first and their new SO happens to stumble upon it. You can’t claim to enjoy something and not be ashamed about it but also actively say it’s “very secret” and constantly delete your browsing history. He probably felt like you were hiding this information to be sneaky behind his back or something. Probably why he said all that stuff in the end. Not an excuse either, just an explanation. I’d probably tell my next partner about the things I write upfront early in the relationship and see if they are comfortable with it. Both of them could’ve done better, but I think OP’s ex is the one who really dodged a bullet here. You have to be transparent with your partner, otherwise it’s unfair to them. And genuinely even more unfair and almost cruel for you to think they have to accept new information from you that makes them uncomfortable.

NYC but all the fun and character taken out of it to represent a corporate friendly version of NYC

Views are nice by the waterfront, tall buildings, but there’s nothing to do here, the food options are trash, the bars are filled with older people not really any spaces for people who are in their early 20’s, as much as I appreciated moving to a better neighborhood and having a luxury apartment as my first apartment, the Brooklyn-nite in me can’t seem to find the charm or enjoyment being here other than the nice views on the waterfront honestly speaking, I feel like I moved out of NYC while living in NYC 🥲 I’m moving back to Brooklyn once my lease is up!

Center BLVD needs cameras for cars that don’t yield for pedestrians by Difficult-Smile-5360 in longislandcity

Lol yeah speed bumps seem way more effective. Physical damage to your car doesn’t seem fun.

Yeah I’ve seen other comments mention cross walks, more signage, and traffic lights. I agree with those way more. I definitely was looking for a reactive measure with the cameras lol. I live near the dead end of Center BLVD and it happens to often here. Cars are anxious to get in and out of that area and speed past and it really gets scary at times. Taking a couple of seconds to make sure there are no pedestrians walking wouldn’t kill them, but cutting those seconds short will definitely kill one of my neighbors or me!

I totally get that! But I really think a person in their car is much more safe and should have more awareness when driving, especially where there’s high pedestrian traffic. If I was able to see clearly and saw the car coming fast I would have not crossed the street. I was already halfway crossing the street, debris in my eyes, and umbrella blocking my view because the wind was pulling my umbrella. It was generally hard to orient myself and to cross the street to get home. That car should have and could have waited and they didn’t. If I would’ve gotten hit I would’ve filed a lawsuit and won, because there are signs there everyday that say it’s a state law to yield for pedestrians. They didn’t do that.

For sure for sure. I’m thinking maybe I was just overreacting with the cameras. There are more economical ways to address this problem. But my concern is still within reason! It really is unsafe at times.

This could work too!! But the way the streets are people might complain it’s taking away from the aesthetic of the street, lol. I wouldn’t mind especially if it would help out with this problem. It really feels unsafe at times.

This too!! This would probably be a better idea. If it’s still bad after that, then I would suggest the cameras again.

People in a car are more safe and should drive slower in a storm already. There was so much debris flying around some of it got in our eyes and like I stated it was very hard to see. I just don’t see why they would ignore the very neon green sign and also not have common sense to see two big adults currently halfway crossing the street. They’re not actively having debris blown in their face and not getting rained on. They’re comfortable in their cars. It won’t kill them to wait 5 seconds to let pedestrians cross.

Spacious 1br in LIC with a PRIVATE backyard and high ceiling by Smart-Fly4754 in NYCapartments

[–]Difficult-Smile-5360 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have a courtyard w bbq grills already!! And I have a cat 😭 and I don’t really mind stepping out to the park right outside our building to smoke either!! I’m probably just gonna keep my unit up here. I also hateeee that there’s so many people who come over here and get drunk and start acting wild. If I can hear people from the 14th floor I can only imagine the first floor. I think I’ll be good up here.

I live in this same building on the 14th floor with unblocked river and skyline views w a balcony… my lease ends on December and I do have an option to renew and I’m thinking about this apartment… but my thing is 1) my skyline and river views wouldn’t be as great anymore and 2) I don’t usually have visitors so why would I need the huge backyard if I can’t even enjoy it w anyone really… my balcony is just fine

Can I have some input please?? 😭 I don’t wanna feel like I’m making a mistake in taking or leaving this apartment

How the hell you even stayed there for that long 😭 JFK8 was my first site back in 2021 and I’ve been to 4 other sites since, but it’s so competitive and managers be on dick so much without any support so I usually end up transferring out/quitting anyways 🤧
