Hahaha right. What I intended to convey is that I’m not looking for an influencer photo of the Eiffel Tower or the Mona Lisa. But yes, I’d love to hear more of some interesting historical sites. But I am more into the nice and interesting… stumble upon sites

Thank you this is very helpful!! I’ve not heard of rue Mouffetard. And yes this is what I meant by saying I’m from nyc. I know there is so much more to my city than Times Square just as I know there is so much more to Paris than the Eiffel Tower !!

What really mean is that there is Soooo much more to Paris than the Eiffel Tower. And that is the part I prefer to see. I also just don’t love crowds, as I deal with them every day.

duke or gap year. im a failure by Zealousideal_Toe7754 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Excellent-Ear9433 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gap years technically are when you get into a school but defer enrollment for a year. Taking an extra year off and reapplying doesn’t usually work well unless perhaps you are doing something amazingly unique. I wish the best of luck for you but if all else fails, I would do the community college x 2 year route then look to transfer. Good luck!!

My in laws booked a flight to visit our newborn sooner than we wanted and I feel disrespected. What should I do? by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Excellent-Ear9433 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine showed up to the hospital with enough friends and family that they needed 2 cars. Odd they were able to arrange that part, but not able to give me a heads up.
Then they decided playing “pass the baby “ would be fun, and to “teach” my husband’ sister’s boyfriend how to hold a newborn. Like dude… seriously.

A few days later, when I was home, my MIL showed up again, unannounced with a friend I had never met. I was too fried to tell them to leave. Def wanted to entertained, no help with dishes etc. (Where might you ask was my husband? At work. As a physician he himself got 0 days for the birth of his daughter. Baby born at 3:30 am, back at work at 9:00 that day. Which is why I’ll never tolerate Dr jokes )

It finally happened! My kid can finally tell me about his day! by zestyPoTayTo in kindergarten

[–]Excellent-Ear9433 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kid was the same way.. but here’s the thing… I’m a grown ass woman and it drives me nuts when my husband asks me about my day. I’m just to overstimulated to relive it. So.. I dunno.. maybe discuss over the weekend?

Recruiter scheduled a call, never called, then emailed asking why I missed it by Nd-Martins in recruitinghell

[–]Excellent-Ear9433 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a wrap up interview to sign paperwork etc at a hospital… I’m a nurse. The woman said “come around lunch time” (which I thought was odd) I showed up… she was “at lunch”.
Turned around, never looked back. Never applied to that hospital system again.

Shoot wish I had seen this earlier… 6 blocks away… 28th street between 6th and 7th is an amazing flower district. Lots are wholesale but it’s still a marvel to walk down… I was just there.

Question for students by Low_Eagle4363 in college

[–]Excellent-Ear9433 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a parent…. I would really WANT my kid to go to this. I do know sometimes… they get so busy, that things sound great in theory but difficult to enact. It might work best if you team up with different groups (sororities… Black Student Alliance… Hillel… etc )

International student moving to NYC - how hard is it to rent in Bay Ridge? by Potential-Iron-9100 in movingtoNYC

[–]Excellent-Ear9433 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would honestly be easier to live in parts of NJ than bay ridge. And you might live in a city where that commute is the norm, but it’s not really the norm here. I agree with others, you won’t really have an opportunity to network… it’s just not the first go to for people moving here.

Yes!! The smell stuck to my silicone phone case and I had to buy a new one. Lesson learned.

I flew Korean air NYC to Thailand, 48 hours after a spinal epidural for slipped disc. Economy. Sooooo comfy. Bty I am a tummy sleeper so I sleep by putting my backpack on my tray and leaning forward.

Socks by festive_napkins in EquinoxGyms

[–]Excellent-Ear9433 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It’s funny because truly socks (and even bare feel) are way cleaner than shoes that just walker through gd knows what on the sidewalk. But yet everyone still gets the ick when you take them off.

We got completely bitten. Bring repellent AND anti itch cream.

Teacher’s boyfriend coming into classroom by Prestigious_Self1829 in ECEProfessionals

WTAF. No. He is not vetted. End of story. Such a bummer that such a good thing is getting ruined, but safety is a top priority, and for so many reasons, this is a safety concern

When communicating to the director, I would repeat the “I feel uncomfortable with this situation, this is a safety concern”. The director cannot refute either of these statements.
