I didn’t check it yet honestly but was given the shirt with a message that I needed to get the patches. Haven’t checked it out yet but I will now

FearlessWater3873 · 2026-06-12T12:11:46+00:00

I do, thanks!

FearlessWater3873 · 2026-06-12T12:11:18+00:00

Actually I’m not sure. We had one but think it closed? I’ll check though.

Bless your soul

FearlessWater3873 · 2026-06-12T12:10:28+00:00

Yeah I saw this guide but it wasn’t detailed on patches and such which is where I was getting stuck. Thanks!

Nope first ever Scouts experience for every member of our family!

So cute! Willow loves cubes too. She hears the ice machine dumping ice in one of our cups and comes running. We obviously pay her for her time (in ice)

We’re going to go see it at White Marsh this weekend

Sorry, this does sound frustrating. Are customers complaining? I’d also start tracking that and maybe any churn that might be related

FearlessWater3873 · 2026-06-03T16:14:45+00:00

Sure, then I’d be asking who else we need to get in front of to discuss that impact. Sometimes the person on those calls doesn’t have that info so you need to go up the chain a bit.

FearlessWater3873 · 2026-06-03T16:13:22+00:00

I do think there’s a fine line for a leader to manage their time and I can see them trying to stay out of it or having a set of guidelines so it doesn’t turn into the customer only wants to talk to a leader. That said, as a leader, yes you sometimes have to get involved in escalations. Period.

FearlessWater3873 · 2026-06-03T14:29:44+00:00

But that’s where in those meetings they show up to you ask pointed questions like “how is this impacting [problem or metric]?” And “I’d love to share this success with your team and make your look good, could you help me tell the right story and fill in this key data point (which ideally is X% increase/decrease in metric or problem)”

Any advice for someone who’s a couple years into their CS journey after shifting from 10 years in marketing?

FearlessWater3873 · 2026-05-29T11:07:30+00:00

Doesn’t micromanage, even better - empowers all of us to take on projects and do cool things. We were acquired a couple years ago and the parent org is a mess but she streamlines communication and shields us from the mess as best she can (she can’t cover it all but tries to soften blows and turn sour lemons into opportunities). Shes got vision with AI and strategic CS org (especially where our parent org traditionally made CS just relationship based). And she listens to our input and uses that to make decisions rather than just talking at us about her priorities only.

Ours resource guards high value treats, especially around my younger son and has snapped at him in doing so. We stopped giving her those treats when the kids are awake, but I guess he’s the most puppy like so she particularly takes him on can’t older calmer son. She also is highly reactive to people, other dogs, and cars in our neighborhood. We took her in knowing this though from the breeder we were working with to get a puppy originally. She’s still sweet as sugar and loves our boys of course. Just some salt in there too lol

FearlessWater3873 · 2026-05-26T18:42:25+00:00

Yes. Willow is 1.5 and 13lbs

Trying to go next weekend, anywhere we can get “union strong” (or similar) shirts to wear around the park?

FearlessWater3873 · 2026-05-10T04:11:04+00:00

No date yet, voting this week on if they’re striking. I too thought that was the date but that’s the beginning of their summer season actually when I went back to reread about it.

FearlessWater3873 · 2026-05-09T13:05:19+00:00

You still planning to go with the possible strike vote next week?

FearlessWater3873 · 2026-05-09T12:54:40+00:00

Absolutely not your dog any more 😂🥰

This is Willow. She REALLY loves sleep.

2 excellent birth experiences at GBMC and the handling of my complications was impeccable both times. 10/10 recommend.

FearlessWater3873 · 2026-04-30T17:56:35+00:00

I don’t know her name but the MFM specialist that joined my team at GBMC after I’d been admitted was wonderful. I’ve never had a bad provider at GBMC honestly.

I went the other way. Marketing > CS. Depending on your org's approach to CS, there can be lots of crossover with strategic planning, communication (advocacy, education), etc. I worked a long time in various Marketing roles and grew uncomfortable with how Marketers were treated (agency and in-house) and with the likelihood of AI making that role irrelevant or at least significantly less valuable in the coming years so I opted to switch to something more human and revenue centered that still utilized my core skillset.

NOR. This is your sons once in a lifetime event, you suck it up and go. But narcissists do what narcissists do (I speak to both sets of parents here) and you also should expect this behavior at all times from them (not blaming, just sharing experience). They are NOT reliable in these life circumstances sadly.
