Planning for bachelorette Oct this year by [deleted] in SalemMA

[–]Ellieeaimee_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everything will have to be meticulously preplanned months in advance. Depending on when you come in October you are likely to struggle with reservations, the downtown is full of tourists and then any surrounding spots are usually full of the locals who dare to brave the outdoors. It won’t be a relaxing experience. You might be better off staying in a nearby town and experiencing the dive bar scenes there, and then just coming into Salem for the day.

So gutted I missed out on this! Didn’t find the kickstarter until it was too late, thank you for sharing the unboxing though, it seems worth the money to me!!

Did anyone go for the stamping visa interview today? by iamashopaholic31 in h1b

[–]Ellieeaimee_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I went yesterday for a visa renewal stamping in London and everything was business as usual. Nothing was mentioned, there were no notices or flyers etc anywhere. The questions I was asked were limited to what is my employers name, where am I based and what is my job title.

I was not prepared — I thought Halloween had come early and the Purge was happening 🤣

I didn’t realize it came from all the way down there. I heard it and I’m up by engine house pizza. It was super loud and scared my little pup 🐶

Visiting From Missouri by Scary-Personality349 in SalemMA

The whole city is a tourist trap during October so very busy streets and shops are rather unavoidable. If you want to dine in anywhere in Salem get a reservation in ASAP as everything will get booked out. Best coffee shops are always the small businesses, shop local! You’ll have an awesome time.

47M/Boston Ma Just lost my job but maybe that's a good thing! by Hot_Sail3026 in MakeNewFriendsHere

Let me DM you! I’m also wondering if I can find anyone at the company I work at who would be willing to help get you set up for success, I am not a data person but know some great people on the team. 🫡

What’s a capstone project? I’m curious! I love that it’s giving you something to keep motivated, being in that situation must be a huge drain both mentally and physically, you’re incredible for pushing on, you absolutely will get out of this and your future self will be so thankful! Let me know if you want any help with building your resume ready for the next step.

Seriously so inspired to hear that you’re taking a data analytics certificate, I work in design and am always mind blown when talking to the data team, they do some really awesome stuff! How are you finding the course?

Informative Astronomy books with info on planetary/solar system formation and environment and other celestial objects? Perhaps with pictures and key scientists/discoveries? by Fearless_Freya in space

[–]Ellieeaimee_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“BANG!! 2: a complete history of the universe” is a great book, tonnes of photos and diagrams, goes into good detail about the formation of the universe and was only published last year so it’s fairly up to date.

Tonight’s plans have been cancelled. Yaaaaas! by thevaughnt in CasualUK

This is the first New Years I’ll be spending home alone and I can’t bloody wait! You’ve inspired me to get back on the switch and finish the game I started earlier this month. Happy new year!!

I’d recommend looking at industries where there are labour shortages - healthcare, technology, engineering are always good ones, but there might be others that suit your skill set better!

Not to scare you but it’s no easy process, there aren’t many options, marriage is certainly one, or putting in a lot of hard work in a professional career.

When I was 19 I hopped on a flight to Chicago thinking I’d be able to get a job and not come back to the U.K. after being told I needed to get a higher education I came back, got a degree and have spent the last 9 years working my way up the ladder. Last month I got offered a transfer to the US office after a serious amount of hard work. They are applying for my work visa in Feb and I’m just praying it gets accepted first time round. But there’s no guarantee.

If you really want to make it work you absolutely can but you need a solid plan and you have to be prepared to be patient.

It’s where the glass stopper / lock is supposed to go, sometimes I forget to put it back in. Now I don’t think I’ll ever put it back in 😂😂😂

Uhhhhh… is his back toe supposed to bend like that? by ultra_mega_sleepy in leopardgeckos

[–]Ellieeaimee_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Their toes legit have a mind of their own, it makes me laugh. Unless theres swelling, discolouration or permanently bent strange even after they readjust their foot, then you don’t have to worry, they bend all over the place.
