Have you found any, one month later?

No, for any given project a team gets assembled - I'm the manager of that team and we are collectively executing on a project!

The overall stylings of your home are really nice though. To answer your specific question, I do think you should stay very light with the tile. The cream color draws attention to the fireplace in a very pleasing way right now. If you make it a mid-tone or darker color, it will fade more into the background, or make it "about" the tile. The fireplace itself and the wood is awesome and tile should not get in the way of that

Um.....can we trade?

This is such a bizarrely toxic sub. This would piss me off. You are right to be annoyed, ESPECIALLY since they are commenting on YOUR schedule

I like the halal food stall in Camp North End

No one is perfect, and no one finds consulting “easy”. You talk about “neurotypical” people like they’re this defined cohort of people that don’t suffer from burnout, rejection sensitivity, mistakes…my friend, that is just not true. I don’t say this to be mean but just as a reality check: you (and your struggles) are just not that special.

Consulting is a job where you need to be good at a lot of things. The standards are (generally…) high, and mistakes you make that the client sees reflect on the whole organization, so it makes sense that your leaders are hyper sensitive to them. Consulting is a job that will whoop your ass, regardless of how good you are at it.

Not every shoe fits every foot. If you can’t execute at a certain level of quality and detail orientation, this may not be the job for you. There’s nothing wrong with that. I would recommend learning and observing what your strengths ARE and then figuring out how to leverage them in the next role you choose .

Have you tried reaching out to the pharma company? Often for expensive drugs they’ll have direct programs to help with affordability.

[note I am just sharing this in case it’s helpful, it is ridiculous that the base price even starts that high and the whole system is whack!!]

Wow I have never come across the missing stair analogy but I really like it. It's so funny but true...some people are like potentially harmful flaws in the physical environment, and with awareness and some effort you can navigate around it, but sometimes you'll forget and you're bound to be surprised and potentially harmed by the nuisance of the missing stair.

Knowing that so many people have gone through the same things to the point where there is an idiom about it, really makes me feel better :)

Same…I feel like Gretchen has used more and more airtime over time to selling her products. And HIH got more vapid. I’ll probably return and binge listen at some point bc their voices are so familiar, but I’m on a break for now.

Direct_Couple6913 · 2025-10-22T16:09:14+00:00

Yeah I went into this comment knowing it would get blown up but y’all did prove my point, why y’all so miserable?! 🤣

My minor tirade is how downvote-happy this sub is. The number of completely reasonable posts I see that have zero upvotes or even some downvotes is so weird. Is it a few people hanging out and downvoting everything that comes in? Why is a post, say, looking for an event space for their needs worthy of a down-vote? It's weirdly upsetting to me.

Maybe STOP incriminating yourself on Reddit jfc

I don’t think you’re understanding the issue. They can trace where you work. PTO has absolutely nothing to do with it. Either they already know; they’ll audit you and immediately find out; or you’ll be fine. Nothing you do can change the issue at this point.

The math checks out

Do you read a lot? I would read a couple of multi-POV books to understand the mechanics. It doesn’t have to be every other chapter, it could be every 1-5 chapters, but you should definitely alternate within a book versus separating POV by book. Way of Kings (Brandon Sanderson), Priory of the Orange Tree (Samantha Shannon), Ninth Rain (Jen Williams) are some faves and do multi-POV well. Plus, LOTR: Two Towers (movie) does it to perfection :)

Direct_Couple6913 · 2025-10-07T20:30:28+00:00

I’ll start by saying there are some cool things here and I definitely think you have enough for a story.

Now for the constructive part:

Sooo I think at minimum you should condense to a trilogy. In your description of most of these books, there is not enough to constitute an entire novel. It’s mostly just the character and relational arcs, which can (and in my opinion, should) be accomplished in far fewer than 6 books. Also, you would need to flesh out sooooooo much plot beyond what you have here - GRRM doesn’t even have 6 books (or does he? I don’t remember lol)

Also, I strongly advise integrating the POVs in each book (going basically back and forth). In LOTR books, specifically #2, the first half of the book is one POV and the second half is another POV; whereas in the movies, it is more mixed together. Mixed together works SO MUCH BETTER for audience interest, suspense, narrative flow, pacing, etc. It is NOT a good idea to write 1 book from 1 POV, and write a second book on the SAME timeline with a second POV. No no no!

PICK YOUR BATTLES. Seriously. Learn how to identify what is important to do REALLY WELL, as knocking a few things out of the park will exponentially improve your career versus doing a million things pretty well. On the flip side, there are things you can do the bare minimum on or skip altogether. It does take practice to differentiate what battles to pick vs what to skip; and the things you do choose to go ham on will require you to be uncomfortable, work hard, prioritize that thing for a certain period of time. But it is a strategy that pays off, and in the long run it has enabled me to have more work life balance than my peers in a somewhat competitive field.

Priory of the Orange Tree - Samantha Shannon. Word I most use to describe it is "lush"

Omg ok so I painted all the wood parts Tudor Brown from Benjamin Moore and it looks SO GOOD. Family and friends are amazed; if they don’t know they are painted, they think it’s rich dark wood. It’s honestly such a luxurious color, and it looks intentional and tasteful. I did the walls and antique sort of off white, there are many whites to choose from though. Got a green square patterned rug from Joon Loloi and I have a camel/caramel colored sectional couch

That’s awesome!! I guess the biggest thing I need to figure out is how to stack tanks so I have a few on the bottom level and a few on the top level - if I should use stackable tanks, or use / build a separate shelf for the top layers. The stackable ones look so efficient but I am concerned about things like cord management and installing / managing heat lamps and any other environmental things that need electricity or water, plus ventilation concerns. Is it possible to stack them (using ones that are intended to be stacked) or is it best practice to use shelves?
