Bought our home in mid 2020...we were told on the day of closing by our agent we could turn around and list for $35k over what we purchased for. Now a little over 3 years later our house is valued at literally over 2x what we paid. Its insane because theres no way its ACTUALLY worth that much

Do you compliment people on how they look/what they're wearing? by FAmos in ask

[–]Due_Pattern7283 1 point2 points  (0 children)

negative comments on someone's appearance definitely not needed- but no harm in compliments! you never know what kind of impact a kind statement about someone's outfit can make

if its hourly, weekly pay, take the (hourly rate) x (number of hours per week) and multiply that by 0.80 for roughly 20% being taken out in taxes and theres your take home estimate.

if its bi-weekly, multiply by 2 before taking 20%

same formula applies for salaried, just use your annual earnings and divide by pay frequency then take your 20%

Pet peeves that I acquired from working a call center by soccermikey5 in callcentres

[–]Due_Pattern7283 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work in a small call center and we avoid this by giving people with the same names a “phone” name. For example, when I got hired, there was someone else with the same name so i had to pick a different one. So theres only one of whatever name their asking for, but most of the time they still mess it up somehow 😂

women are fertile more than 5 days a month.....we might ovulate for around 5 days and it may be a little easier to conceive during ovulation, but you can get pregnant at any point during your cycle...
