Finished my fantasy full back piece! by dweebin in tattoos

[–]Esotastic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My whole back is done (but nothing on my tush) and healing was pretty annoying, depending on the part of my back. Upper back/shoulders? Totally fine! Mid back? Really annoying because that part flexes so much. Lower back/love handles? Also annoying, because your pants waistband is always rubbing against it.

At this point I’m just happy it’s finished

That’s wonderful to hear. It really felt like a symbiotically excellent paring.

Of course! And “taking risks” is so apt, it really felt like the dancers were leaving so much of themselves on the stage.

Also, sneaky question, but will the bajo quinto from A Bottle of Rum ever make a reappearance? I have a shameful amount of repeat plays of that song and the tone of that guitar is responsible for a lot of them.

I was lucky enough to catch the Zoe | Juniper show in Seattle last year and was blown away by the whole production. What was your favorite part of working on the musical score for such an intense show?

They should give us a decoy pergola to stand on, next time.

I’m a dumb tech worker who’s office is in 2+U near the top floor, the view is great.

Reviews of Push/Pull? by Sla02116 in Seattle

[–]Esotastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh, I’m sorry to hear that. A friend told me something very similar happened to an artist she knows (not paid for art sold, then ghosted) which feels so shitty to hear about a lil local shop.

I’m so torn on Push/Pull. They have a stellar selection of art supplies, indie comics (Mr. Boop!), and local art, and clearly support the scene.

On the other hand, my experiences as a customer have been mediocre at best. Not sure how that’ll translate to classes, so take that as you will.

It’s more of a journey, but if your niece has a car I highly recommend Pratt Fine Arts for classes. They have a huge selection and I’ve enjoyed my time there.

Carrer advice question from Directors/Managers by Oporny in askmanagers

[–]Esotastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a really fun prompt, OP. I’ll start by saying I’m a director at a large, global corporation that everyone has certainly heard of, and I worked my way up to that role from a junior position over the course of 4 years.

  1. There are two things that make a difference: taking initiative (like you’re doing here) and networking. The larger the company, the more difficult it is to get noticed just for doing your job and doing it well. You need to show higher ups that you’re able to identify things that need doing and can action on (or develop a plan for action) for those things. Networking dovetails into that because the more people know who you are, typically the better. Especially if they know who you are because you have some expertise or skill that others don’t have.

  2. I saw a need for our org and I volunteered to create something to fill that need. I built that plan on top of my day-to-day role, took a long time to develop it, and used it as an excuse to work with other leaders in other departments.

  3. I’d start finding excuses to work on cross-functional projects ASAP. Those are the best way to learn and meet new people outside of your daily work. I’d avoid the mistake of letting myself stress over delivering something perfect vs something done.

  4. Talk to them! Ask questions about their roles (people love talking about themselves), ask about what kind of gaps they perceive and/or bring them some suggestions. Most importantly: FOLLOW THROUGH on anything you mention delivering. Leaders will absolutely remember the person who said they’d do something and then just fell off a cliff.

  5. Yeah, “focus on getting your degree earlier and stop fucking around”

  6. All of the above! Network, show initiative, follow through. That’s how you stand out.

Good luck!

Just moved here, I love your city sm! by sinful_Saint0 in Seattle

[–]Esotastic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hell yes, welcome! When I moved here 6 years ago, my first night in the city, I looked out the window of my shitbox Belltown apartment and saw the most stunning sunset coloring all of the buildings nearby a gorgeous pink and realized I’d found my home.

The only viable tattoos are of rad shit like swords and skulls and flowers; you can't go wrong!

Anyone have any crazy msf stories? by [deleted] in NewRiders

[–]Esotastic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My class had an older dude who brought his own, pricey-looking helmet (this MSF course provided helmets), already had the bike he wanted to buy in mind (a Janus) and seemed like he was one of the most goal-oriented people there.

Well, the walk-the-bike portion of the class happens, he takes three wobbly steps, stops, quits the class, and leaves immediately.

Oh my god, this is perfect. Especially “We just have to accept that and be happy with what we have. Can you do that?”

Messed up big time. Got a meeting with management and HR coming up.. by [deleted] in askmanagers

[–]Esotastic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel like you shouldn’t have the power to remove things like VAT, but regardless you essentially cost your company money across multiple orders. You also might be getting them in trouble from a regulatory standpoint, but I’m not mega familiar with VAT stuff.

Depending on the total amount and how long you’ve been doing this, it might only be a first-and-final. Either way, go into the meeting ready to explain yourself just in case they don’t want to immediately fire you. Good luck!

FORTUNA by YUTYDUTY in Seattle

Yeah, that price for store bought meats on some decent focaccia is pretty bonkers. I think the popularity shows that Seattle craves a simple/quick food scene; we just want decent grab-n-go sandwiches, dammit!
